What advice would you give to incoming RISE fellows? / RISE Fellows Speak / Cohort 4
----------------------------
Research in Implementation Science for Equity (RISE) is an all-expenses-paid training opportunity for junior faculty who are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences. RISE is designed to train competitive scientists and enhance the diversity of the biomedical research workforce. The program involves a two-week RISE Summer Institute, focused on implementation science and career mentoring, which is hosted by UCSF’s Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in partnership with the Center for Vulnerable Populations in July in San Francisco. RISE Scholars also complete a second institute the following summer.
RISE is a part of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s Program to Increase Diversity among Individuals Engaged in Health-Related Research (NHLBI-PRIDE).
----------------------------
In an era of extraordinary advances in scientific knowledge and methods, epidemiology and biostatistics provide essential tools for understanding the causes of disease and for identifying effective and efficient approaches to prevention and treatment at the population level. The Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics is committed to advancing health for all through rigorous, innovative, multidisciplinary research.
The UCSF Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics collaborates on more research in basic, clinical and population sciences across UCSF than any other department. We are the largest department of epidemiology in the University of California system in terms of full-time primary faculty and affiliated faculty, and our dedicated researchers, many of whom are leaders in their fields, provide a wide range of expertise to research teams while also leading their own studies.
----------------------------
UC San Francisco advances health through education, research, patient care and public service. With seven major sites in the San Francisco Bay Area and Fresno, the UCSF School of Medicine is dedicated to improving human health by accelerating scientific discovery and transforming medical education. The school’s new Bridges curriculum is pioneering a new approach to medical education to prepare physicians for practice in the 21st century. Through mentorship and collaborative learning, students are trained to care for patients, conduct research and contribute vital knowledge to improve our health system.
