# NIGMS RISE Program at the UPR Medical Sciences Campus

> **NIH NIH R25** · UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO MED SCIENCES · 2021 · $1,425,159

## Abstract

The University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus (UPR-MSC) RISE
program and the UPR School of Medicine Division of Biomedical Sciences
Graduate program have impacted significantly the number of doctoral degrees
conferred in the biomedical sciences during the last three cycles. The MBRS
RISE Program at the UPR-MSC, currently in its 16th year of support, requests
support to continue to expand the overall impact and value of the program. The
goals of the UPR MSC RISE program are to continue providing support to pre-
doctoral students from underrepresented groups in mentored biomedical and
behavioral research and to enrich the research environment at the UPR-MSC
and enhance the academic offerings of the Division of Biomedical Sciences of
the School of Medicine. We propose two Activities: Mentored Research
Experiences and Courses for Skills Development. Innovative activities are
included, such as a course in Reproducible Quantitative Research for Biomedical
Translational Scientists, English language and teaching skills courses. In addition
to the activities designed to address the specific objectives we have established
to achieve the above stated goals, participating Ph.D. students will attend
seminars and/or workshops or courses developed in the DBS that provide
instruction in Responsible Conduct in Research during their predoctoral training
at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus. The RISE Program
will ensure that any material developed under the auspices of its research
education program be disseminated broadly, on campus or on the internet.
