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应用代表从前两个5年周期作为R25机制的过渡 波多黎各大学（UPRP）。我们的学生人数不足，包括个人 从不利的经济背景，残疾人以及与 对生物医学科学的兴趣。飓风，地震和全球大流行对我们的学生的影响 改变他们的日常工作，环境，更改使用教学学习虚拟工具，并在情感上 苦恼。了解我们的学生人数及其最近的压力，我们将实施基于证据的 以前成功的策略，现在考虑了这些障碍。提案目标是：（1） 提高毕业率并减少UPRP U-Rise学员毕业的时间。通过使用 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，我们将允许成功的过渡 生物医学科学领域的研究和非传统职业，为潜水员和包容 未来的生物医学劳动力。 a）我们希望将U-Rise UPR受训人员的毕业率提高到90％ 与当前的生物学系（47％）和机构相比（45％）相比； b）减少毕业时间 从6到5年。 （2）通过指导 经验鼓励学术卓越，培训技术和专业技能以及培养 团队合作，跟随并促进负责任的研究，并放心安全和道德的 环境。我们预计85％的U-Rise UPRP受训人员将完成拟议的活动 通过适当的评估工具。 （3）增加UPRP学生的数量，作为U-Rise的参与者 计划在整体系统中接受培训，代表下一代合格的U-Rise培训，并增加 申请，注册和成功完成生物医学研究生计划的技能和竞争力 （博士学位或M.D./ph.d。）在研究密集机构中。我们预计70％的U-Rise UPRP受训人员将是 被录取为博士学位毕业后三年内计划。我们包括新的招聘方法， 在以前的U-Rise和有兴趣申请U-的前U-Rise和新生之间促进更多互动 上升。我们还制定了生物医学研究工具的认证原则和应用： 好奇心对动手方法（PABRT）。 PABRT包括技术，运营，专业和研究 - UPRP生物学学生的相关活动是获得研究经验的替代方案 唤醒学生对加入U-Rise或进入生物医学科学的决定的研究兴趣 劳动力。我们还开发了心理系统，包括不同学术和研究层面的科学家。 我们将促进U-Rise学员的未来科学家，通过培养一个包容和潜水的社区来生活， 同时，他们继续增强科学的身份和自我效益。
