DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MBRS RISE Program at the UPR MSC, currently in its seventh year of support, requests support to continue to expand the overall impact and value of the program. Its overall goal is to increase the number of underrepresented minorities engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, focusing on the development of its undergraduate (UG) and graduate (G) student participants, so they can better compete as future biomedical researchers. We propose three Activities: Developmental Activities 1 & 2 - Student Participation in Year Round and Summer Research Programs and Developmental Activity 3: Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Seminar Series (IBRSS). The following goals and objectives, established for each individual developmental activity, constitute the programmatic goals and objectives of the MSC MBRS RISE program. Programmatic Goal 1: Increase the interest in biomedical research careers, research skills and number of science UG RISE student participants that pursue advanced degrees in biomedical sciences. We will recruit 10 undergraduate science students/year and 15 summer students/year from the UPR System into research projects at the MSC. We aim to improve the knowledge of the RISE UG participants in biomedical sciences, the principles of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR), the basics of scientific communication and how to successfully apply to Graduate schools. We aim to increase the number of UG and G RISE participants that travel to present their research studies and network with other scientists at national or international scientific meetings and engage in short research experiences in mainland US by providing travel funds and the number of UG students that enter graduate programs in the biomedical sciences after finishing their BS degree from 29 to 50%. Our Programmatic Goal #2 is: Increase the interest in research careers, scientific skills and competitiveness and the number of G RISE student participants that complete a Ph.D. degree and advance to competitive postdoctoral positions. We aim to develop 35 G students by providing financial support and developmental activities that will increase students' skills and competitiveness by improving the knowledge of the G participants in biomedical sciences, the principles of RCR, scientific communication and how to become successful researchers by offering research seminars, scientific writing workshops and instruction on RCR. We propose to increase the number of G students that present at national or international scientific meetings to enhance their scientific communication and networking skills or participate in research experiences outside of the island of Puerto Rico by providing funds for travel to these meetings or for short training experiences and the research productivity of the G students in terms of a 10% increase per year in the average number of publications at peer-reviewed journals and the number of G students who advance to post-doctoral positions from 60% to 80%. Programmatic Goal 3: To enhance the research environment at the UPR-MSC and expose RISE mentors, UG and G students to top biomedical researchers by the establishment of a dynamic Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Seminar Series (IBRSS). Our objectives are: To increase the exposure of UPR-MSC faculty, UG and G students to state-of-the-art, forefront knowledge in interdisciplinary areas of biomedical sciences by coordinating at least eight annual seminar presentations from different disciplines, with productive biomedical scientists from major research laboratories outside of Puerto Rico; To promote the establishment of associations and networking between UPR-MSC faculty and productive biomedical scientists by stimulating the open discussion of diverse, interdisciplinary research topics in biomedical sciences between UPR-MSC G and UG students and visiting scientists; To improve the comprehension and critical thinking skills of participating students by providing them scientific articles published by invited speakers and promoting the discussion of research findings with the authors and the oral presentation skills of our G students by requiring them to make short presentations in the seminar series. The Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Program was created in response to a legislative mandate to "increase the numbers of underrepresented minority (URM) faculty, investigators and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, and to broaden the opportunities for underrepresented minority faculty and students for participation in biomedical and behavioral research." The MBRS RISE Program at the UPR MSC, currently in its seventh year of support, requests support to continue to expand the overall impact and value of the program. Its overall goal is to increase the number of underrepresented minorities engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, focusing on the development of its URM undergraduate (UG) and graduate (G) student participants, so they can better compete as future biomedical researchers. We propose three Activities: Developmental Activities 1 & 2 - Student Participation in Year Round and Summer Research Programs and Developmental Activity 3: Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Seminar Series (IBRSS).

描述（由申请人提供）：MBRS RISE计划在UPR MSC，目前在其第七年的支持，要求支持继续扩大该计划的整体影响和价值。它的总体目标是增加从事生物医学和行为研究的代表性不足的少数民族的数量，重点是本科生（UG）和研究生（G）学生参与者的发展，使他们能够更好地竞争作为未来的生物医学研究人员。我们提出三项活动：发展活动1和2 -学生参与全年和夏季研究计划和发展活动3：跨学科生物医学研究研讨会系列（IBRSS）。以下为每一项发展活动制定的目标和目的构成了MSC MBRS RISE计划的计划目标和目的。方案目标1：增加生物医学研究职业的兴趣，研究技能和科学UG RISE学生参与者的数量，追求生物医学科学的高级学位。我们将从UPR系统每年招收10名本科理科学生和15名暑期学生进入MSC的研究项目。我们的目标是提高RISE UG参与者在生物医学科学，负责任的研究行为（RCR）的原则，科学交流的基础知识以及如何成功申请研究生院的知识。我们的目标是增加UG和G RISE参与者的数量，这些参与者在国家或国际科学会议上与其他科学家进行研究和网络交流，并通过提供旅行资金和UG学生的数量在完成学士学位后进入生物医学科学研究生课程，从29%增加到50%。我们的计划目标#2是：增加对研究职业的兴趣，科学技能和竞争力以及完成博士学位的G RISE学生参与者的数量。学位，并晋升到有竞争力的博士后职位。我们的目标是通过提供财政支持和发展活动，提高学生的技能和竞争力，通过提高G参与者在生物医学科学，RCR的原则，科学交流以及如何通过提供研究研讨会，科学写作研讨会和RCR教学成为成功的研究人员的知识，发展35 G学生。我们建议增加出席国家或国际科学会议的G学生的数量，以提高他们的科学交流和网络技能，或通过提供资金前往这些会议或短期培训经验和G学生的研究生产力的10%，参与波多黎各岛以外的研究经验。每年在同行评审期刊上发表的平均数量增加，G学生进入博士后职位的人数从60%增加到80%。方案目标3：为了加强在UPR-MSC的研究环境，并通过建立一个动态的跨学科生物医学研究研讨会系列（IBRSS），使RISE导师，UG和G学生接触顶级生物医学研究人员。我们的目标是：为了增加UPR-MSC教师，UG和G学生接触到最先进的，在生物医学科学的跨学科领域的前沿知识，通过协调至少八个来自不同学科的年度研讨会演讲，与来自波多黎各以外的主要研究实验室的生产生物医学科学家;为了促进UPR-MSC教师和生产生物医学科学家之间的协会和网络的建立，通过刺激不同的公开讨论，UPR-MSC G和UG学生和访问科学家之间的生物医学科学跨学科研究课题;透过提供由特邀讲者发表的科学文章，以及促进与作者讨论研究成果，以提高参与学生的理解力和批判性思维能力，并要求G学生在研讨会上作简短的演讲，以提高他们的口头表达能力系列. 少数民族生物医学研究支持（MBRS）计划是为了响应立法授权而创建的，以“增加参与生物医学和行为研究的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）教师，调查人员和学生的数量，并扩大代表性不足的少数民族教师和学生参与生物医学和行为研究的机会。“在普遍定期审议MSC的MBRS RISE计划，目前在其第七年的支持，要求支持继续扩大该计划的整体影响和价值。其总体目标是增加从事生物医学和行为研究的代表性不足的少数族裔的数量，重点关注URM本科生（UG）和研究生（G）参与者的发展，以便他们能够更好地作为未来的生物医学研究人员进行竞争。我们提出三项活动：发展活动1和2 -学生参与全年和夏季研究计划和发展活动3：跨学科生物医学研究研讨会系列（IBRSS）。
