G-RISE at Ponce Health Sciences University

G-RISE在庞塞健康科学大学（PHSU G-RISE）：PHSU的总体目标 G-RISE计划旨在提高代表性不足的西班牙裔学生的竞争力 毕业于波多黎各的PHSU生物医学博士课程，并增加 进入博士后职位的高素质、代表性不足的学生人数 以及多样化的研究相关职业。为了实现这些目标，我们将建立在 在以前的R25-RISE资助机制下创建的成功培训计划， 对我们的博士生的培训和整个PHSU社区的积极影响。下 之前的R25-RISE计划，博士完成率从R25-RISE的73%增加到90% 培训生，平均毕业时间从6.2年减少到5.6年，R25-RISE的64% 学员毕业后继续接受博士后培训。在56名R25-RISE学员中， 支持21人获得独立奖学金，31人已经获得博士学位，8人获得 确保教职员工的职位。拟议的PHSU G-RISE应用程序将建立在这些基础上 成功的经验，并适应几个重要的经验教训。它将提供组织 结构和广泛的指导，以确保受训者有归属感， 科学身份，同时使他们能够准备和克服科学 careers.该方案建议通过加强 学术，研究，个人和专业能力，我们的代表性不足的少数 学生更好地为他们在生物医学科学的不同职业做好准备。具体 PHSU G-RISE计划的可衡量目标是提供：（1）专业，操作， 为PHSU G-RISE学员提供技术研究技能培训;（2）沟通技能培训 （3）为PHSU G-RISE学员提供团队建设/网络机会; （4）提高博士毕业率，同时减少获得学位的时间。每一个目标 将根据经验，在继续开展的活动中保持平衡， 制定了一套新的战略培训内容， 我们学员的新需求PHSU G-RISE计划将与 现有的PHSU-Moffitt癌症中心合作伙伴关系和RCMI计划， 通过提供更好的训练有素的学生队伍进行资助的整体研究计划， 研究项目，并提供动力，创造新的研究举措。

G-RISE at Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU G-RISE): The overall goals of the PHSU G-RISE program are to increase the competitiveness of underrepresented Hispanic students graduating from the Biomedical Sciences PhD Program at PHSU in Puerto Rico and to increase the number of highly qualified underrepresented students who advance to postdoctoral positions and diverse research-related careers. To achieve these goals, we will build upon the very successful training program created under the previous R25-RISE funding mechanism which had a positive impact on the training of our PhD students and on the entire PHSU community. Under the prior R25-RISE Program the PhD completion rate increased from 73% to 90% of R25-RISE trainees, the average time to graduation decreased from 6.2 to 5.6 years, and 64% of R25-RISE trainees continued with postdoctoral training after graduating. Of the 56 R25-RISE trainees supported 21 obtained independent fellowships, 31 already graduated with a PhD and 8 have secured faculty positions. The proposed PHSU G-RISE application will build upon those successes and adapt to several important lessons learned. It will provide the organizational structure and extensive mentoring necessary to ensure trainees have a sense of belonging and scientific identity while empowering them to prepare for and overcome obstacles in their scientific careers. The program proposes to accomplish these goals through enhancement of the academic, research, personal, and professional competence of our underrepresented minority students to better prepare them for diverse careers in the biomedical sciences. The specific measurable objectives of the PHSU G-RISE program are to provide: (1) professional, operational, and technical research skills training for PHSU G-RISE trainees; (2) communication skills training for PHSU G-RISE trainees; (3) team building/networking opportunities for PHSU G-RISE trainees; and (4) increase the PhD completion rate while reducing time-to-degree. Each of these objectives will be pursued with an experience-based balance of continuing activities that were highly effective as well as a strategic set of new training components that were developed to address the emerging needs of our trainees. The PHSU G-RISE program will work in concert with the existing PHSU-Moffitt Cancer Center Partnership and RCMI programs to significantly impact the overall research program by providing a better trained student workforce to conduct the funded research projects and provide the momentum to create new research initiatives.
