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

描述(由申请人提供)：UPR MSC的MBRS Rise计划目前处于支持的第11个年头，请求支持以继续扩大该计划的整体影响和价值。UPR 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的成员数量和技能，专注于博士生的发展，以便他们能够更好地竞争未来生物医学研究人员的地位。UPR MSC的MBRS Rise方案目前处于支持的第11个年头，要求提供支持，以继续扩大该方案的整体影响和价值。在本申请中，我们希望解决学生的需求，这些需求可能会影响到学位的时间、留住和实现职业目标，例如过渡到博士后职位。我们提出了两项活动：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研讨会系列(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持。这项提出的研究型教育计划有两个目标：目标1--提高生物医学硕士研究生的竞争力。目标2：通过设立充满活力的跨学科生物医学研究研讨会系列(IBRSS)和一系列高级课程，促进在普遍定期审议--医学研究中心建立一个富有成效的研究环境。除了旨在实现我们为实现上述目标而制定的具体目标的活动外，参与活动的博士生还将在波多黎各大学医学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/或研讨会。生物医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科研诚信。RISE计划将确保在其研究教育计划的赞助下开发的任何材料在校园或互联网上广泛传播。 与公共健康相关：少数民族生物医学研究支持(MBRS)计划是为了响应一项立法授权而创建的，该立法授权“增加从事生物医学和行为研究的未被充分代表的少数群体(URM)教职员工、研究人员和学生的数量，并扩大未被充分代表的少数群体教职员工和学生参与生物医学和行为研究的机会。”UPR MSC的MBRS Rise方案目前处于支持的第11个年头，要求提供支持，以继续扩大该方案的整体影响和价值。其总体目标是增加从事生物医学和行为研究的少数族裔人数，重点发展其URM研究生(G)博士学生，以便他们能够更好地竞争未来的生物医学研究人员。我们提出了两项活动：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研讨会系列(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持。

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.
