RISE Research Training Programs at UTSA

Thank you for your interest in the UTSA RISE program. After a long run at UTSA, the RISE program has come to an end. Undergraduate training positions continue in our MARC program and PhD positions in our new IMSD at UTSA program. Thank you!

What is RISE?

RISE (Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement) is a federally funded program designed to increase the number of underrepresented faculty, students, and investigators who are performing research in the biomedical sciences. RISE programs support research by faculty members and minority serving institutions, strengthen the institutions' biomedical research capabilities, and provide opportunities for students to work as part of a research team.

The RISE Program has been active at UTSA since 2000, but is now in its last year of funding. We will be carrying our PhD students through May 2023 and non-graduated undergraduates through March 2024. Please see the RISE undergraduate page to learn about one-year training opportunities for final year students who will graduate in Spring 2024.
