描述（由申请人提供）：里约彼德拉斯校区正在申请资金，用于其RISE计划的竞争性更新，其中包括25名学生和35名博士生。该方案将继续发展和改进各项活动，以实现以下具体目标：大学生的发展与培养。具体目标1。增加学生的数量谁成为感兴趣，并充分参与生产性的研究经验，在生物医学相关领域。确保所有25名学生进行有效的研究项目。具体目标2。加强和提高本科生的研究能力，以提高他们未来在研究型职业生涯中的成功。确保所有人都参加针对其专业发展的活动。确保80%的参与学生进入博士课程。B。研究生的发展。具体目标1。增加完成博士学位的学生人数，所有35名学生都发表他们的工作，并在国家会议上提出。具体目标2。通过扩大，加强和提高他们的研究，学术和专业技能，实现和保持研究生在其研究领域的竞争力。确保超过三分之二（67%）的人继续在生物医学相关领域的博士后经验。C.提高RISE计划所有参与者的发展活动。具体目标。提供一系列促进研究和吸引学生从事生物医学科学研究的活动。这些目标基本上与上一个周期所述的目标相同，因为该方案超过了其既定目标。然而，对大多数活动进行了修改，以适应观察到的结果和评价人员的评估。还包括一些新的活动。鉴于这里概述的成功，该计划在下一个周期的主要推力将是增加在生物医学研究竞技场的RISE BS和博士校友的比例。 公共卫生相关性：里约彼德拉斯校区正在申请资金，用于其RISE计划的竞争性更新，其中包括25名学生和35名博士生。该计划将继续发展和改进活动的方式，使其能够确保80%的本科生进入研究博士学位和三分之二的博士生继续博士后的经验。它还将确保所有这些学生获得必要的准备，以竞争作为有效的研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Rio Piedras Campus is requesting funds for the competitive renewal of its RISE program and this includes 25 students and 35 doctoral students. The program will continue to develop and improve activities in a manner that will allow it to meet the following specific aims: A. Development and Training of Undergraduate Students. Specific Aim 1. To increase the number of students who become interested and fully participate in productive research experiences in biomedically related areas. Assuring that all 25 students carry out effective research projects. Specific Aim 2. To strengthen and enhance the research capabilities undergraduate students in order to increase their future success in research oriented careers. Assuring that all participate in activities directed toward their professional development. Assuring that 80% of the participating students enter doctoral programs. B. Development of Graduate Students. Specific Aim 1. Increase the number of students who complete doctoral degrees and that all thirty-five of these publish their work and present it at national meetings. Specific Aim 2. Achieve and maintain competitiveness of graduate students in their research areas by broadening, strengthening and enhancing their research, academic and professional skills. Assuring that more than two-thirds (67%) of these continue postdoctoral experiences in biomedically related areas. C. Developmental Activities That Enhance All Participants of the RISE Program. Specific Aim. To provide a series of activities that promote research and attract students into pursuing research careers in the biomedical sciences. These aims are basically the same as those described in the previous cycle because the program surpassed its stated goals. However, most of the activities have been modified in a manner that responds to the observed outcomes and to the evaluator's assessments. Also some new activities have been included. In view of the successes outlined here, the primary thrust of the program during the next cycle will be increasing the fraction of RISE BS and PhD alumni in the biomedical research arena. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Rio Piedras Campus is requesting funds for the competitive renewal of its RISE program and this include 25 students and 35 doctoral students. The program will continue to develop and improve activities in a manner that will allow it to assure that 80% of the undergraduates enter research doctorates and two-thirds of the doctoral students continue postdoctoral experiences. It will also assure that all of these students receive the necessary preparation to compete as effective researchers.
