DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The RISE program continues to transform the academic environment at UPR-Cayey by focusing on the preparation of students to become scientists. As part of this long term goal of increasing the number of Hispanics studying for the Ph.D., this proposal is concentrating on helping students in four areas, 1- their lack of awareness for career opportunities and of their own potential, 2- their limited research skills and experience, 3- limited quantitative and qualitative skills, and 4- limited English language skills. These were identified and interventions will be monitored by an external evaluator working with the activity coordinators, program director, and the RISE Advisory Committee. To address these needs, five developmental activities are prescribed- visiting scientists, research skills, discovery chemistry, language skills, and research experiences. Reaching the entire science community, visiting alumni scientists provide seminars and workshops in English to improve attendees' awareness of new techniques and discover science careers, and to serve as role models. Improving the skills of motivated students will be accomplished during their first year by having activities related to research techniques, scientific literacy, and language skills. RISE students will take Discovery Chemistry to quantitative and qualitative skills. Research experiences for twelve students will be offered during the academic year in Puerto Rico with active investigators at four collaborating institutions. Additional research experiences will be offered to over 60 students during summer internships at 20 collaborating institutions in the USA. Each component enables students to develop their potential by interacting with a different group of experts: 1) research and language skills with faculty mentors; 2) motivational visiting alumni scientists; 3) inquiry methodology by chemistry faculty and 4) research lab experience with either on- island research mentors or with off-island scientists located in the USA. Each expert group challenges the students as they develop utilizing the appropriate environment and level of expertise to produce UPRC alumni who will be biomedical research scientists. During the last 5 years (2005-09), 32 RISE alumni completed Ph.D.s from major research universities; a 100% increase over the previous five-year period. By doubling the number of Ph.D. alumni, RISE will impact the community. These UPRC scientists will serve to meet the health disparity needs of the Hispanic population in Puerto Rico and the nation by working to discover the causes and remedies of diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：RISE 项目专注于培养学生成为科学家，持续改变 UPR-Cayey 的学术环境。作为增加攻读博士学位的西班牙裔人数这一长期目标的一部分，该提案集中在四个领域帮助学生：1-他们缺乏对职业机会和自身潜力的认识，2-他们有限的研究技能和经验，3-有限的定量和定性技能，以及4-有限的英语语言技能。这些已确定，干预措施将由外部评估员与活动协调员、项目总监和 RISE 咨询委员会合作进行监测。为了满足这些需求，规定了五项发展活动——访问科学家、研究技能、发现化学、语言技能和研究经验。访问的校友科学家覆盖整个科学界，提供英语研讨会和讲习班，以提高与会者对新技术的认识，发现科学职业，并发挥榜样作用。积极主动的学生的技能将在第一年通过与研究技术、科学素养和语言技能相关的活动来完成。 RISE 学生将掌握发现化学的定量和定性技能。学年期间，将在波多黎各与四个合作机构的积极研究人员一起为 12 名学生提供研究经验。在美国 20 家合作机构的暑期实习期间，将向 60 多名学生提供额外的研究经验。每个部分都使学生能够通过与不同的专家组互动来开发自己的潜力：1）与教师导师一起研究和语言技能； 2）激励来访的校友科学家； 3) 化学教师的探究方法，以及 4) 与岛内研究导师或美国岛外科学家合作的研究实验室经验。每个专家组都会向学生提出挑战，帮助他们利用适当的环境和专业水平来培养将成为生物医学研究科学家的 UPRC 校友。在过去5年（2005-09）中，32名RISE校友在主要研究型大学获得了博士学位；比前五年增长了100%。通过将博士学位数量增加一倍。校友们，RISE 将影响社区。这些 UPRC 科学家将致力于发现疾病的原因和治疗方法，以满足波多黎各和全国拉美裔人口的健康差异需求。
