项目摘要

The long term goal of the UTSA RISE Program is to cultivate exceptional underrepresented minority (URM) scientists who pursue doctoral-level careers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. UTSA is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) with 28,959 students (60.5% URM), 24 PhD programs, and quality research programs in fields pertinent to the NIH mission, including include medicinal chemistry, neurobiology, microbiology, stem cell science, biomedical engineering, and military mental health. UTSA is strategically pursuing Tier One research status while maintaining its commitment to the education of URM South Texas populations. In the 2012-2016 academic years, UTSA graduated 138 PhD students in RISE-supported majors; 20 were URM and 18 were RISE trainees. Over the same timeframe, 101 former UTSA UGs (53 URM and 12 from RISE) earned a doctorate in pertinent fields. The proposed RISE program will train URM students from six PhD programs and seven undergraduate (UG) majors in the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, and Biomedical Engineering. RISE requests training positions for 16 UG (reduced from 20) and 20 PhD students (increased from 16). UGs will be supported for up to four years and PhD students for five. The specific aims are: #1 Improve the current undergraduate training program content and administrative processes to further reduce trainee attrition and enhance student preparation for doctoral training; #2 Enhance the current doctoral training program by improving career and professional development training; and #3 Increase the number of URM students who are retained in STEM fields and who pursue doctoral degrees in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The UG training sequence will be made more comprehensive and stage-appropriate, and attrition will be reduced to 15% through improved mentoring, monitoring, psychosocial training, selection practices, and competition for positions. PhD trainees will be prepared for post-graduate positions through enhanced professional experiences and intensive training for the application process. Additional innovative approaches for enhancing the number of future URM scientists will be implemented, including using RISE PhD positions to increase URM recruitment and admittance at UTSA, developing a Science Teaching Program to grow UTSA graduate students into exceptional science instructors, implementing a Science Transfer Academy (STA) to support and connect transitioning community college students with the UTSA research community, and formalizing a “volunteer” RISE training program (RISE-2 the PhD) to expand the UG training population. Through these activities, RISE proposes to increase UG matriculation from 50 to 55%, of whom 80% will be retained in their PhD programs. At least 85% of RISE PhD trainees will complete their degree. At least 65% of STA trainees will achieve a 3.0 or higher UTSA GPA in their first semester and 70% will be retained in at UTSA in STEM fields after one year. At least five additional URM PhD students will be admitted above program baselines, and at least one RISE-2 the PhD trainee will start doctoral training annually.

UTSA RISE 计划的长期目标是培养杰出的少数族裔 (URM) 在生物医学和行为科学领域攻读博士学位的科学家是西班牙裔。服务机构 (HSI)，拥有 28,959 名学生 (60.5% URM)、24 个博士项目和优质研究项目与 NIH 使命相关的领域，包括药物化学、神经生物学、微生物学、干细胞学细胞科学、生物医学工程和军事心理健康正在战略性地追求一级。研究地位，同时保持对 URM 南德克萨斯人口教育的承诺。 2012-2016学年，UTSA 毕业了 138 名 RISE 支持专业的博士生，其中 20 名是 URM 和 18 名 RISE 学员在同一时间段内，101 名前 UTSA UG（53 名 URM 和 12 名来自 RISE）获得了学位。拟议的 RISE 项目将培养来自六个博士项目的 URM 学生。以及生物、化学、物理、心理学和心理学系的七个本科（UG）专业 RISE 需要 16 名本科生（从 20 名减少）和 20 名博士生的培训职位。（从 16 名增加）。本科生将获得最多四年的支持，而博士生则可获得五年的支持。是： #1 改进当前的本科生培训计划内容和管理流程，以进一步减少实习生流失并加强学生为博士培训做准备；#2 加强现有的博士生培养通过改善职业和专业发展培训来开展培训计划；以及 #3 增加培训的数量保留在 STEM 领域并攻读生物医学和生物医学博士学位的 URM 学生行为科学将变得更加全面和适合阶段，并且通过改进指导、监控、社会心理培训和选拔，人员流失率将降低至 15% 博士生将通过实习和职位竞争为研究生职位做好准备。增强应用程序的专业经验和强化培训。将实施增加未来 URM 科学家数量的方法，包括使用 RISE 博士职位以增加 UTSA 的 URM 招聘和录取，制定科学教学计划将 UTSA 研究生培养成杰出的科学讲师，建立科学转移学院 (STA) 支持过渡社区学院的学生并将其与 UTSA 研究社区联系起来，正式制定“志愿者”RISE 培训计划（RISE-2 博士），以扩大 UG 培训人数。通过这些活动，RISE 提议将 UG 入学率从 50% 增加到 55%，其中 80% 将是至少 85% 的 RISE 博士生将完成至少 65% 的学位。 STA 学员将在第一学期达到 3.0 或更高的 UTSA GPA，70% 将留在 UTSA 一年后，至少有五名 URM 博士生将被上述项目录取。基线，每年至少有一名 RISE-2 博士生将开始博士培训。
