The long term goal of the UTSA RISE Program is to cultivate exceptional underrepresented minority (URM) scientists who pursue doctoral-level careers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. UTSA is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) with 28,959 students (60.5% URM), 24 PhD programs, and quality research programs in fields pertinent to the NIH mission, including include medicinal chemistry, neurobiology, microbiology, stem cell science, biomedical engineering, and military mental health. UTSA is strategically pursuing Tier One research status while maintaining its commitment to the education of URM South Texas populations. In the 2012-2016 academic years, UTSA graduated 138 PhD students in RISE-supported majors; 20 were URM and 18 were RISE trainees. Over the same timeframe, 101 former UTSA UGs (53 URM and 12 from RISE) earned a doctorate in pertinent fields. The proposed RISE program will train URM students from six PhD programs and seven undergraduate (UG) majors in the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, and Biomedical Engineering. RISE requests training positions for 16 UG (reduced from 20) and 20 PhD students (increased from 16). UGs will be supported for up to four years and PhD students for five. The specific aims are: #1 Improve the current undergraduate training program content and administrative processes to further reduce trainee attrition and enhance student preparation for doctoral training; #2 Enhance the current doctoral training program by improving career and professional development training; and #3 Increase the number of URM students who are retained in STEM fields and who pursue doctoral degrees in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The UG training sequence will be made more comprehensive and stage-appropriate, and attrition will be reduced to 15% through improved mentoring, monitoring, psychosocial training, selection practices, and competition for positions. PhD trainees will be prepared for post-graduate positions through enhanced professional experiences and intensive training for the application process. Additional innovative approaches for enhancing the number of future URM scientists will be implemented, including using RISE PhD positions to increase URM recruitment and admittance at UTSA, developing a Science Teaching Program to grow UTSA graduate students into exceptional science instructors, implementing a Science Transfer Academy (STA) to support and connect transitioning community college students with the UTSA research community, and formalizing a “volunteer” RISE training program (RISE-2 the PhD) to expand the UG training population. Through these activities, RISE proposes to increase UG matriculation from 50 to 55%, of whom 80% will be retained in their PhD programs. At least 85% of RISE PhD trainees will complete their degree. At least 65% of STA trainees will achieve a 3.0 or higher UTSA GPA in their first semester and 70% will be retained in at UTSA in STEM fields after one year. At least five additional URM PhD students will be admitted above program baselines, and at least one RISE-2 the PhD trainee will start doctoral training annually.

UTSA RISE计划的长期目标是培养特殊的代表性不足的少数民族（URM） 在生物医学和行为科学领域追求博士水平职业的科学家。UTSA是西班牙裔 服务机构（HSI）拥有28，959名学生（60.5% URM），24个博士课程和优质研究项目 在与NIH使命相关的领域，包括药物化学，神经生物学，微生物学，干细胞， 细胞科学、生物医学工程和军事心理健康。UTSA在战略上追求一级 研究现状，同时保持其对URM南德克萨斯州人口的教育的承诺。在 2012-2016学年，UTSA在RISE支持的专业毕业了138名博士生; 20名是URM， 18名学员。在同一时间段内，101名前UTSA UG（53名URM和12名来自RISE） 相关领域的博士学位拟议中的RISE计划将培训来自六个博士课程的URM学生 和七个本科（UG）专业的部门生物，化学，物理，心理学，和 生物医学工程RISE要求为16名大学生（从20名减少）和20名博士生提供培训职位 （从16起）。大学生将获得最多四年的支持，博士生将获得五年的支持。具体目标 是：#1改善目前的本科培训计划的内容和行政程序，以进一步 减少实习生流失，提高学生的博士培训准备; #2提高目前的博士 通过改善职业和专业发展培训来实施培训方案;以及#3增加 URM学生谁是在干领域保留，谁追求在生物医学博士学位， 行为科学普遍定期审议的培训程序将更加全面和适合阶段， 通过改进指导、监测、心理社会培训和选拔， 实践和职位竞争。博士生将准备研究生职位，通过 加强专业经验和强化培训的应用程序。更多新 将实施增加未来URM科学家数量的方法，包括使用RISE PhD 职位，以增加URM招聘和接纳UTSA，制定科学教学计划， 培养UTSA研究生成为杰出的科学导师，实施科学转移学院 (STA)支持和连接过渡社区大学生与UTSA研究社区， 并正式制定一个“志愿者”RISE培训计划（RISE-2博士），以扩大UG培训人口。 通过这些活动，RISE建议将普通大学入学率从50%提高到55%，其中80%将是 保留在他们的博士课程中。至少85%的RISE博士学员将完成学位。至少65%的 STA学员将在第一学期达到3.0或更高的UTSA GPA，70%将留在UTSA 在一年后的STEM领域。至少有五个额外的URM博士生将被录取以上计划 基线和至少一个RISE-2博士生将开始博士培训每年。
