Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE)
The goal of the Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement Program is to increase the number of under-represented students entering biomedical research in areas such as biology, chemistry, and behavioral sciences by increasing the number who apply to and complete doctoral programs. The program has two areas of focus—academic, which is predominately in the freshman and sophomore years, and research, which takes place during junior and senior years. The RISE program ended in 2016.
