Project Summary The primary mission of the proposed U-RISE at UTEP is to develop a cohort of diverse, research-oriented underrepresented (UR) undergraduate students who possess the requisite knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm to be competitive for and advance into biomedical sciences doctoral degree programs and ultimately contribute to the diversity in the biomedical research workforce. The rationale for this program is based on the stated goals of the NIH to increase UR representation at all levels of the biomedical research pipeline. The UTEP U- RISE Program will be an inter-departmental training program with trainees in the Biological Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Psychology programs. The primary goal of the U-RISE at UTEP is to increase the participation and retention of undergraduate students from UR groups in biomedical sciences research through training opportunities that prepare them for advanced degree programs in the biomedical sciences. To accomplish our goal, we will pursue the following specific objectives: (1) Enhance the biomedical sciences research skills of U-RISE trainees; (2) Promote the development of essential supplementary skills in research through training opportunities in written and oral presentations and research design and methodologies; (3) Create a sense of community and belonging among U-RISE trainees who identify as researchers in biomedical sciences; and (4) Develop and prepare U-RISE trainees to be competitive candidates for advanced biomedical degree programs. The current proposal is modeled on the successful implementation of the RISE undergraduate training program that has been funded at UTEP since 2004. In this proposal, we request to train 25 junior or senior UR undergraduates per year. The U-RISE trainees will receive enhanced mentorship and guidance from the PDs who will counsel them at important junctures and checkpoints during their undergraduate careers. The trainees will also have access to new courses and training workshops that will make them more aware of biomedical research as a career, improve their science identity, and provide them with the technical skills and knowledge needed to be competitive for biomedical graduate programs. The expected outcomes of U-RISE at UTEP are as follows: all trainees will participate in mentored research projects and extramural summer research training programs; all trainees will write a research paper suitable for publication; 80% of the trainees will graduate with a 3.5 or higher GPA; and ultimately 75% of trainees will enroll in an advanced degree program in the biomedical sciences. It is our expectation that upon achieving the proposed objectives, the U-RISE program UTEP will continue to generate a highly talented pool of UR trainees with a genuine interest in pursuing advanced biomedical degrees and future research careers.

项目摘要 UTEP提议的U-Rise的主要任务是开发一系列以研究为导向的人群 代表性不足（UR）的本科生，他们拥有必要的知识，技能和热情 具有竞争力并晋升为生物医学科学博士学位课程，并最终做出贡献 生物医学研究人员的多样性。该计划的理由是基于说明的 NIH的目标是在生物医学研究管道的所有级别上增加您的代表。 UTEP U- RISE计划将是一项部门间培训计划，与生物科学学员一起， 化学与生物化学和心理学计划。 UTEP的U-Rise的主要目标是增加 来自您小组的本科生参与和保留生物医学研究 通过培训机会，为生物医学科学的高级学位课程做好准备。到 实现我们的目标，我们将追求以下特定目标：（1）增强生物医学科学 U-Rise学员的研究技能； （2）促进研究基本补充技能的发展 通过书面和口头介绍以及研究设计和方法的培训机会； （3） 在U-Rise学员之间营造一种社区感，并归属于生物医学研究人员 科学； （4）发展和准备U-Rise学员成为高级生物医学的竞争候选人 学位课程。目前的建议是建立在成功实施的基础上的 自2004年以来一直在UTEP资助的本科培训计划。在此提案中，我们要求培训 每年25名初中或高级UR本科生。 U-Rise学员将获得增强的指导和 PDS的指导，他们将在重要的关键和检查点上为他们提供咨询 本科职业。学员还将可以参加新课程和培训研讨会 使他们更加了解生物医学研究是一种职业，改善了科学身份并为他们提供 借助技术技能和知识，需要对生物医学研究生计划具有竞争力。这 UTEP的U-Rise的预期结果如下：所有学员都将参加指导的研究 项目和室外研究培训计划；所有受训人员将撰写适合的研究论文 发布; 80％的学员将以3.5或更高的GPA毕业；最终有75％的学员将 参加生物医学科学的高级学位课程。我们期望达到 拟议的目标，U-Rise计划UTEP将继续产生一群才华横溢的您的受训者 对追求先进的生物医学学位和未来研究事业的真正兴趣。
