DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM) submits the proposal entitled "RISE 2 BEST: RISE Enhancing Biomedical Sciences and Biomedical Engineering in Science and Technology". The proposal will support research and educational activities of 18 undergraduate, 4 MS, and 6 PhD students from science majors pursuing biomedical sciences research; and, 12 undergraduate, 6 MS, and 4 PhD students from engineering majors pursuing biomedical engineering research. The 30 undergraduates and 10 MS will participate in the program up to two academic years and two summers, while the 10 PhD will be part of the program for a maximum of four full years. The long term goal of this proposal is to increase the number of Hispanic minorities pursuing and completing PhD degrees in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering through educational and research activities. Activities are designed to guarantee that 50% of the undergraduates and 75% MS students continue studies toward a PhD degree and 95% supported PhD students will complete their degree. These results will be achieved through the following specific aims: (1) Increase the number of undergraduate students that pursue doctoral studies in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering; (2) Increase the number of graduate students that complete PhD in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering, with outstanding research skills; and (3) Broaden and increase PhD students' skills to become successful researchers in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering. The aims will be accomplished by engaging undergraduates and graduates students in meaningful research experiences in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering, and through a series of workshops to develop and increase the skills needed to pursue and complete a PhD degree in NIH related areas. The research activities of the 30 undergraduates and 20 graduate students will be supported in the laboratories of 12 and 9 mentors from science and engineering departments at UPRM, respectively. Participating RISE students will benefit from out of campus experiences at the laboratories of also 21 competitive research mentors. Research areas will include biomaterials, medical devices, drug delivery, biosensing, neuroscience, nanomedicine, and molecular and cellular biology among others. Fifteen RISE 2 BEST workshops designed to improve and motivate students to pursue and complete the PhD degree will be part of the Beginners-RISE Week and the Advanced-RISE Week. The workshops contain five additional activities that include RISE Info Session, the RISE Virtual Web Tour, the RISE Seminar Series, RISE Academic Success Seminar Module, and course work that include training in issues related to a responsible conduct of research and communications skills. The activities will be facilitated by the establishment of the biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering Resources and Educational Support Center at UPRM. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The UPRM RISE 2 BEST program will support education activities and research for 18 undergraduate, 4 MS, and 6 PhD students from science majors pursuing biomedical sciences research; and, 12 undergraduate, 6 MS, and 4 PhD students from engineering majors pursuing biomedical engineering at the laboratories of 21 UPRM mentors in biomaterials, medical devices, drug delivery, biosensing, neuroscience, nanomedicine, and molecular and cellular biology among others.

描述（由申请人提供）：玛雅格斯大学（UPRM）的波多黎各大学提交了名为“ Rise 2 Best：增强科学技术中的生物医学科学和生物医学工程”的提案。该提案将支持18名本科生，4个MS的研究和教育活动，以及来自攻读生物医学研究的科学专业的6名博士学位学生；以及来自工程专业的12名本科生，6个MS和4位攻读生物医学工程研究的博士学位。 30名本科生和10毫秒将参加该计划，最多两个学年和两个夏天，而10位博士学位将最多整整四年。该提案的长期目标是通过教育和研究活动增加生物医学科学和生物医学工程学的西班牙裔少数群体的数量。活动旨在确保50％的大学生和75％的MS学生继续学习博士学位，而95％的博士生将获得学位。这些结果将通过以下特定目的来实现：（1）增加从事生物医学科学和生物医学工程学博士研究的本科生的数量； （2）增加在生物医学和生物医学工程领域获得博士学位的研究生人数，具有出色的研究技能； （3）扩大和提高博士生的技能，成为生物医学和生物医学工程领域的成功研究人员。该目标将通过让大学生和毕业生参与生物医学和生物医学工程学的有意义的研究经验来实现，并通过一系列研讨会来开发和提高与NIH相关领域的博士学位所需的技能。在UPRM的科学和工程部门的12和9名导师的实验室中，将为30名本科生和20名研究生的研究活动提供支持。参与的崛起学生将从还有21位竞争性研究导师的实验室的校园经验中受益。研究领域将包括生物材料，医疗设备，药物输送，生物传感，神经科学，纳米医学以及分子和细胞生物学等。 15次上升2个最佳研讨会旨在改善和激励学生攻读和完成博士学位学位，将成为初学者一周和高级轮周的一部分。研讨会包含五个其他活动，包括Rise Info会议，Rise Virtual Web Tour，Rise研讨会系列，Rise Academic Success研讨会模块和课程工作，其中包括与负责任的研究和沟通技巧有关的问题进行培训。在UPRM建立生物医学科学和生物医学工程资源和教育支持中心，将促进这些活动。 公共卫生相关性：UPRM Rise 2最佳计划将为18个本科生，4 MS和6名来自攻读生物医学科学研究的科学专业的学生提供教育活动和研究；以及来自工程专业的12名本科生，6个MS和4名博士学位学生，在21名UPRM指导者的实验室中，在生物材料，医疗设备，药物输送，生物传感，神经科学，纳米医学以及分子和细胞生物学等实验室。
