Abstract/Project Summary Although one of the main functions of biomedical researchers at academic institutions is teaching, their preparation is centered in the development of research, analytical and technical skills. Our previously implemented RISE Program (Preparing Future Faculty Program) was intended to prepare doctoral students in biomedical sciences for future faculty positions in Puerto Rico and the mainland. Building upon its achievements, the proposed Preparing Future Faculty: RISEing to the Challenge project will institutionalize our PFFP by integrating the courses in science education and pedagogy into the doctoral curriculum of the Graduate Program. This integration will be aligned with a curricular revision and re-structuring intended to streamline the current coursework that will allow for the addition of a science education component and significant teaching and research experiences without increasing time to degree. In this program we will also develop and implement recruiting strategies, particularly targeting underrepresented undergraduate students from private undergraduate institutions which are usually underserved in the recruitment and acceptance at many doctoral programs. Graduate students will be active players in the development and implementation of our proposed recruiting activities and will serve as ambassadors to our Graduate Program and research opportunities enhancing the pool of qualified candidates available for admission. Moreover, by actively participating in these activities, doctoral students will develop and further enhance their teaching and mentoring skills. We recognize that training competitive biomedical researchers that are also science educators is challenging and we have established collaborative agreements with research intensive institutions, PUI and other entities that will complement our research infrastructure and will provide the required teaching opportunities that our students need for their training. These collaborative efforts are a key component of our proposed program since they will allow us to leverage our resources and bolster our research enterprise. Finally, we intend to further prepare our doctoral students by integrating activities aimed at developing the professional skills and attitudes that will capacitate them to enter and compete in the current workforce. We recognize that preparing competitive biomedical researchers that are also experienced science educators is a complex and challenging endeavor, however, at UCC we are RISEing to the challenge.

摘要/项目摘要 虽然学术机构生物医学研究人员的主要职能之一是教学， 准备工作的重点是发展研究、分析和技术技能。我们先前 实施RISE计划（准备未来的教师计划）的目的是准备博士生在 生物医学科学为未来的教师职位在波多黎各和大陆。基于其 为了取得这些成就，拟议的“准备未来教师：迎接挑战”项目将制度化， 我们的PFFP通过整合科学教育和教育学课程到博士课程的 研究生课程。这一整合将与课程修订和结构调整保持一致， 精简现有课程，增加科学教育部分， 重要的教学和研究经验，而不增加时间的程度。在本节目中，我们还将 制定和实施招聘战略，特别是针对代表性不足的本科生 来自私立本科院校，这些院校在招聘和录取方面通常服务不足， 许多博士课程。研究生将积极参与制定和实施 我们建议的招聘活动，并将担任大使，我们的研究生计划和研究 增加可供录取的合格候选人的机会。此外，通过积极 参加这些活动，博士生将发展和进一步加强他们的教学和指导 skills.我们认识到，培养具有竞争力的生物医学研究人员，同时也是科学教育工作者， 具有挑战性，我们已经与研究密集型机构，PUI和 其他实体，将补充我们的研究基础设施，并将提供所需的教学 我们的学生需要他们的培训机会。这些合作努力是我们 建议的计划，因为他们将使我们能够利用我们的资源，并加强我们的研究事业。 最后，我们打算通过整合旨在发展 专业技能和态度，使他们有能力进入目前的劳动力市场并在其中竞争。我们 认识到，准备有竞争力的生物医学研究人员，也有经验的科学教育工作者是一个 复杂和具有挑战性的奋进，然而，在UCC，我们正在迎接挑战。
