This T34 U-RISE application represents a transition from two previous 5-year cycles as an R25 mechanism at the University of Puerto Rico Ponce (UPRP). Our students are underrepresented Hispanics including individuals from disadvantage economic backgrounds, with disabilities, and first generations attending to college with interest in Biomedical Sciences. Hurricanes, earthquakes, and a global pandemic affected our students from altering their routines, environment, change to use teaching-learning virtual tools, and to be emotionally distressed. Knowing our student population and their recent stressors, we will implement evidence-based strategies that were successful previously, now considering these obstacles. The proposal objectives are: (1) Increase the graduation rate and decrease the time to graduation of U-RISE trainees at the UPRP. By using an innovative holistic program including wellness, safety, and ethical environment, understanding of cultural diversity, and development of technical, operational, and professional skills we will allow a successful transition to join research-oriented and non-traditional careers in biomedical sciences contributing to a diverse and inclusive future biomedical workforce. a) We expect to increase the graduation rate of U-RISE UPR trainees to 90% compared to the current Department of Biology (47%) and the Institutional (45%); b) decrease graduation time from 6 to 5 years. (2) Engage U-RISE trainees at UPRP in research-oriented activities through mentored experiences encouraging academic excellence, training technical and professional skills, and fostering teamwork, following, and promoting the responsible conduct of research, and reassuring a safe and ethical environment. We expect that 85% of U-RISE UPRP trainees will complete the proposed activities as evidenced by the appropriate assessment tools. (3) Increase the number of UPRP students, as participants of the U-RISE Program, trained in a holistic system representing the next generation of qualified U-RISE trainees with increased skills and competitiveness to apply, enroll and successfully complete a Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program (Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.) at Research Intensive Institutions. We expect that 70% of U-RISE UPRP trainees will be accepted into a Ph.D. Program within three years after graduation. We include new recruitment approaches, promote more interaction between former, current U-RISE and freshmen students interested in applying to U- RISE. We also develop a Certification Principles and Applications of Biomedical Research Tools: From Scientific Curiosity to Hands-on Approaches (PABRT). PABRT includes technical, operational, professional, and research- related activities for the Biology Students at UPRP as an alternative to obtain research experience and potentially awaken the students’ interest in research an decide to join U-RISE or entering the Biomedical Sciences workforce. We also developed mentoring system including scientists at different academic and research levels. We will promote U-RISE trainees’ future scientists to live by fostering an inclusive and diverse community, at the same time they continue enhancing their science identity and self-efficacy.

该 T34 U-RISE 应用代表了从之前两个 5 年周期作为 R25 机制的过渡 波多黎各庞塞大学 (UPRP) 我们的学生中西班牙裔人数不足，其中包括个人。 经济背景不利的人、残疾人以及第一代上大学的人 飓风、地震和全球大流行影响了我们的学生对生物医学科学的兴趣。 改变他们的日常生活、环境，改变使用教学虚拟工具，并在情感上 了解我们的学生群体及其最近的压力源，我们将实施基于证据的措施。 以前成功的策略，现在考虑这些障碍，建议目标是：（1） 通过使用 UPRP 提高 U-RISE 学员的毕业率并缩短毕业时间。 创新的整体计划，包括健康、安全和道德环境、对文化多样性的理解、 以及技术、运营和专业技能的发展，我们将让您成功过渡到加入 生物医学领域以研究为导向的非传统职业，有助于实现多元化和包容性 a) 我们预计将 U-RISE UPR 学员的毕业率提高到 90% 与目前的生物系（47%）和机构系（45%）相比，减少毕业时间； (2) 通过指导让 UPRP 的 U-RISE 学员参与以研究为导向的活动。 鼓励学术卓越、培训技术和专业技能以及培养 团队合作，遵循和促进负责任的研究行为，并确保安全和道德 我们预计 85% 的 U-RISE UPRP 学员将完成所建议的活动。 (3) 增加UPRP学生作为U-RISE参与者的数量 计划，在一个整体系统中接受培训，代表下一代合格的 U-RISE 学员， 申请、注册和成功完成生物医学科学研究生项目的技能和竞争力 （博士或医学博士/博士）在研究密集型机构，我们预计 70% 的 U-RISE UPRP 学员将是 毕业后三年内接受博士学位课程， 促进以前、现在的 U-RISE 学生和有兴趣申请 U-RISE 的新生之间更多的互动 我们还开发了生物医学研究工具的认证原理和应用：来自科学。 好奇心实践方法 (PABRT) 包括技术、操作、专业和研究。 为 UPRP 的生物学学生提供相关活动，作为获得研究经验和潜在机会的替代方案 唤醒学生的研究兴趣并决定加入U-RISE或进入生物医学科学 我们还开发了包括不同学术和研究级别的科学家的指导系统。 我们将通过培育包容性和多元化的社区来促进 U-RISE 学员未来科学家的生活， 与此同时，他们继续增强自己的科学认同和自我效能。
