RISE Option III: MBRS RISE at the UPR Medical Sciences Campus

描述（由申请人提供）：普遍定期审议MSC的MBRS RISE项目，目前已进入支持的第11个年头，请求支持继续扩大项目的整体影响和价值。普遍定期审议MSC RISE项目的目标是增加从事生物医学和行为研究的代表性不足群体成员的数量和技能，重点是博士生参与者的发展，以便他们能够更好地作为未来的生物医学研究人员竞争。普遍定期审议MSC的MBRS RISE项目目前已进入第11个年头，要求得到支持，以继续扩大该项目的总体影响和价值。在目前的申请中，我们希望解决学生的需求，可能会影响时间到学位，保留和实现职业目标，如过渡到博士后职位。我们提出两个活动：发展活动#1 -学生参与生物医学研究和活动#2。跨学科生物医学研究系列研讨会（IBRSS）。包括创新活动，如高级生物医学/行为专题课程、英语语言和教学技能课程以及编辑和统计支助。两个目标中心提出的研究教育计划：目标1-提高MSC生物医学博士生的竞争力。目标2：通过建立一个充满活力的跨学科生物医学研究系列研讨会（IBRSS）和一系列高级课程，加强ubr - msc生产研究环境的发展。除了旨在实现我们为实现上述目标而确定的具体目标的活动外，参与的博士生将在波多黎各大学医学院校园进行博士前培训期间参加“负责任的研究行为”研讨会和/或讲习班。生物医学科学副院长制定了负责任的研究合规行为计划（RC2P），以揭露，教育和培训我们的学生在科研诚信。RISE计划将确保在其研究教育计划主持下开发的任何材料在校园或互联网上广泛传播。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MBRS RISE Program at the UPR MSC, currently in its eleventh year of support, requests support to continue to expand the overall impact and value of the program. The goal of the UPR MSC RISE program is to increase the number and skills of members of underrepresented groups engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, focusing on the development of its Ph.D. student participants, so they can better compete as future biomedical researchers. The MBRS RISE Program at the UPR MSC, currently in its eleventh year of support, requests support to continue to expand the overall impact and value of the program. In the present application, we would like to address student needs that may be affecting time to degree, retention and achievement of career goals, such as transitioning to postdoctoral positions. We propose two Activities: Developmental Activity #1 - Student Participation in Biomedical Research and Activity #2. Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Seminar Series (IBRSS). Innovative activities are included, such as advanced biomedical/behavioral topics courses, English language and teaching skills courses and editorial and statistics support. Two goals center this proposed Research Education Plan: Goal 1- Increase the competitiveness of the MSC biomedical doctoral students. Goal 2: To enhance the development of a productive research environment at the UPR-MSC by the establishment of a dynamic Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Seminar Series (IBRSS) and a series of advanced courses. In addition to the activities designed to address the specific objectives we have established to achieve the above stated goals, participating Ph.D. students will attend seminars and/or workshops in Responsible Conduct in Research during their predoctoral training at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus. The Associate Deanship for Biomedical Sciences developed the Responsible Conduct in Research Compliance Program (RC2P) to expose, educate and train our students in scientific research integrity. The RISE Program will ensure that any material developed under the auspices of its research education program be disseminated broadly, on campus or on the internet. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: 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 eleventh 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 under- represented minorities engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, focusing on the development of its URM graduate (G) Ph.D. student participants, so they can better compete as future biomedical researchers. We propose two Activities: Developmental Activity #1 - Student Participation in Biomedical Research and Activity #2. Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Seminar Series (IBRSS). Innovative activities are included, such as advanced biomedical/behavioral topics courses, English language and teaching skills courses and editorial and statistics support.
