UPR-IPERT Project Summary The US faces the urgent need to develop a diverse biomedical science workforce, trained with the breadth and flexibility necessary to meet unpredictable future challenges in health science. The University of Puerto Rico system is the bachelor's source institution of ~15% of US Hispanic PhDs in the natural and social sciences, although only ~4.5% of US Hispanic undergraduates in these disciplines attend UPR. Therefore UPR is well positioned to help meet this national need. With IPERT the UPR will be able to prepare more undergraduates and junior faculty to meet the nation's biomedical research needs. The program targets undergraduate students from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and disciplines not usually linked to biomedical research, as well as junior faculty members at Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) who have not benefited from training programs commonly available at research-intensive institutions. UPR-IPERT will expand and enhance existing training efforts by developing participants (not just selecting talent) with innovative activities that have a multi- campus reach and that fill unmet gaps in existing research training programs to achieve system- wide impacts. UPR-IPERT will be administered by UPR-Cayey in collaboration with UPR- Humacao, the two undergraduate units in UPR with most experience in research training programs. A collaborative partnership with a) the other nine UPR campuses; b) the Yale- CienciaPR network and the NIH National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN); and c) the multi-campus training programs NIH-Puerto Rico-INBRE and NSF-Puerto Rico Luis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation gives UPR-IPERT a wide reach across public and private universities, and among Puerto Ricans/ Hispanics at mainland institutions. The larger objective of UPR-IPERT is to enhance responsiveness to the changing needs of the biomedical workforce with a wide-reaching, multi-faceted, and multidisciplinary training model suited for PUIs. UPR- IPERT will complement existing training programs with a phased approach that goes from recruitment, to retention, to skills development, and to dissemination and outreach. Diversity, resilience, multidisciplinarity, empowerment, and social commitment will be the guiding principles. The Specific Aims are: 1) Recruit for diversity, by targeting undergraduates from socioeconomically disadvantage backgrounds, and students and faculty from non-traditional disciplines using innovative activities including the IPERT Theater Co. 2) Build resilience for perseverance through the pipeline through online support networks, coaching, mentoring, and writing groups. 3) Build multidisciplinary skills for empowerment and versatility, through a module series and more intensive courses on research skills for different social and natural sciences, and quantitative skills workshops. 4) Provide social insight for increased social and scientific commitment, through modules on the social context of health, community outreach, and travel to meetings for broader dissemination. UPR-IPERT is expected serve as a model program and to make a significant contribution in training Hispanic biomedical scientists.

UPR-IPERT项目摘要 美国面临迫切需要发展多样的生物医学科学劳动力，并接受了培训 应对健康科学中不可预测的未来挑战所需的广度和灵活性。 波多黎各大学系统是我们大约15％的学士学位机构 自然和社会科学中的西班牙裔博士学位，尽管我们中只有4.5％的西班牙裔 这些学科的本科生参加了UPR。因此，UPR有助于帮助见面 这个国家需求。使用IPERT，UPR将能够准备更多的本科生和初中 可以满足国家生物医学研究需求的教师。该计划目标本科生 来自社会不利的背景和学科的学生通常与 生物医学研究以及主要本科生的初级教师 没有从通常可用的培训计划中受益的机构（PUI） 研究密集型机构。 UPR-IPERT将通过 开发参与者（不仅是选择人才），具有创新的活动，这些活动具有多种多样的 校园覆盖范围以及在现有研究培训计划中未满足的空白以实现系统 - 巨大的影响。 UPR-Cayey将与UPR合作管理UPR-IPERT Humacao，UPR中的两个本科单位，在研究培训方面拥有大多数经验 程序。与a）其他九个UPR校园的合作伙伴关系； b）耶鲁 - Cienciapr网络和NIH国家研究指导网络（NRMN）； c） 多校园培训计划NIH-PUERTO RICO INBRE和NSF-PUERTO RICO LUIS Stokes 少数族裔参与的联盟使UPR-IPERT在公共和私人方面都有广泛的影响 大学，大陆机构的波多黎各人/西班牙裔。更大的目标 UPR-IPERT的旨在提高对生物医学劳动力不断变化需求的响应能力 采用适合PUI的广泛，多方面和多学科的培训模型。上 IPERT将通过分阶段的方法与现有培训计划进行补充 招募，保留，技能发展以及传播和推广。多样性， 韧性，多学科，授权和社会承诺将成为指导 原则。具体目的是：1）通过以本科生为目标 从社会经济上不利的背景以及非传统的学生和教师 使用包括IPERT剧院（Ipert Theatre Co.）在内的创新活动的学科。2） 通过在线支持网络，教练，指导和 写作小组。 3）通过一个 模块系列以及有关不同社会和自然研究技能的更密集的课程 科学和定量技能研讨会。 4）提供社会洞察力，以增加社交和 科学承诺，通过有关健康，社区外展的社会背景的模块， 并参加会议以进行更广泛的传播。预期将UPR-IPERT用作模型 计划并为培训西班牙裔生物医学科学家做出重大贡献。
