The FIU MBRS RISE Program provides graduate and undergraduate
students compensation for a yearlong work obligation in a
laboratory conducting biomedical research. Sponsored by the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), the MBRS RISE Program is
dedicated to increasing the number of undergraduate and graduate
students from underrepre-
sented groups in biomedical and behavioral research to enter
into and successfully complete M.D./Ph.D. or Ph.D. programs.
Research travel funds are available for the MBRS RISE students to
attend scientific meetings and conferences. The program also
provides a tuition-waiver for graduate students. Other training
includes: special skills & professional
development workshops as well as academic advisement.
Undergraduate students may apply during their freshman, sophomore
or junior years for participation in the program from the time of
acceptance through their senior year.
Graduate students may apply at any point during their FIU
graduate program.
