项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM) submits the proposal entitled RISE: Enhancing Biomedical Achievements in Science and Engineering (RISE: E-BASE). The proposal will support research and educational and training activities of 32 students distributed as 20 undergraduates, and 12 PhD students pursuing biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering research. The longterm goal of this proposal is to increase the number of Hispanic minorities that pursues and completes PhD degrees in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering with adequate preparation in the responsible conduct of research in addition to technical and professional skills. The specific aims to achieve this goal are : Specific Aim 1: Increase the number of underrepresented (UR) undergraduate (UG) students that pursue doctoral studies in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering, and, Specific Aim 2: Increase the number of doctoral UR students that complete a PhD in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering with competitive research skills. These specific aims will be accomplished by engaging undergraduates and PhD students in meaningful research experiences in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering and through a series of workshops to develop and increase the professional skills needed to pursue and complete a PhD degree in areas of interest of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). The program activities are designed to provide each student cohort (UG and PhD) with the awareness, knowledge, and skills to continue to advanced education in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering. Emphasis will be given to the institutionalization of a research and career development curriculum through the creation of new courses in biomedical sciences, experimental design, and training in new research technologies. The program impact in the undergraduate curriculum will result in the modernization of one research introductory course work for undergraduate students. The program impact in the graduate curriculum will result in the creation of new course work in (1) modern technologies that will expose PhD students to state-of-the art technologies through seminars and workshops and (2) experimental design to develop an evidence based research proposal that can be central to the dissertation work and will be submitted for external funding to federal and non-federal agencies. The research activities will be supported at the laboratories of 20 UPRM in-campus mentors and 17 off-campus mentors from science and engineering departments. The 37 research mentors have demonstrated grantsmanship, publication and dissemination record and will play a central role in providing adequate guidance to fulfill the long term goal of the proposed plan. The student to faculty ratio close to 1:1 and is ideal for a meaningful research experience and effective development of research skills in an interdisciplinary setting of biomedical science and engineers. The participating RISE students will have the benefit to select from summer off-campus research or COOP experiences. Research areas will include biomaterials, biomedical instrumentation, drug delivery, bioinformatics, neuroscience, nanomedicine, molecular and cellular biology, population genetics , among others. Workshops to (1) improve and motivate students to pursue and complete the PhD degree, (2) train in issues related to the responsible conduct of research, (3) improve communications and research skills will also be offered.

项目摘要玛雅格斯大学（UPRM）的波多黎各大学提交了名为RISE的提议：增强生物医学科学与工程学的成就（RISE：E-BASE）。该提案将支持研究和教育以及 32名学生的培训活动分布为20名本科生，还有12名攻读生物医学的博士学位学生和生物医学工程研究。该提议的长期目标是增加西班牙裔的数量少数民族在生物医学科学和生物医学工程领域追求并完成博士学位除了技术和专业技能外，还为负责任的研究做准备。具体目的实现此目标是：具体目标1：增加代表性不足的（UR）本科生（UG）学生的数量从事生物医学科学和生物医学工程学的博士研究，以及特定目的2：增加数量通过竞争性研究完成生物医学科学和生物医学工程博士学位的博士学位学生技能。这些具体目标将通过让大学生和博士生参与有意义的研究来实现生物医学科学和生物医学工程的经验以及通过一系列开发和增加的研讨会国家一般研究所感兴趣领域所需的专业技能和完成博士学位医学科学（NIGMS）。计划活动旨在为每个学生队列（UG和PhD）提供在生物医学和生物医学工程领域继续接受高级教育的意识，知识和技能。通过创建研究和职业发展课程的制度化将重点放在新研究技术的生物医学科学，实验设计和培训的新课程。该程序对本科课程的影响将导致一项研究入门课程的现代化。本科生。该计划对研究生课程的影响将导致创建新课程的工作（1）将通过研讨会和研讨会和研讨会和（2）实验设计，以制定基于证据的研究建议，该计划可能是论文工作的核心，并将提交给联邦和非联邦机构的外部资金。研究活动将得到支持来自20名UPRM校内导师的实验室和科学和工程部门的17名校外导师。这 37位研究导师已经证明了授予技巧，出版和传播记录，并将在提供足够的指导来实现拟议计划的长期目标。学生与教师比率接近1：1和是有意义的研究经验和有效发展研究技能的理想选择生物医学科学和工程师。参与的崛起学生将从夏季校外选择有好处研究或合作经验。研究领域将包括生物材料，生物医学仪器，药物输送，生物信息学，神经科学，纳米医学，分子和细胞生物学，种群遗传学等。（1）改善和激励学生攻读和完成博士学位的讲习班，（2）培训与负责研究的行为（3）也将提高沟通和研究技能。
