The Research in Implementation Science for Engagement (RISE) program is an all-expenses-paid training opportunity for junior faculty in the biomedical sciences. The overarching goals of the program are to train and sustain scholars in biomedical sciences for long-term success in academic careers pursuing innovative research of interest to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
The program involves a two-week RISE Summer Institute, focused on implementation science and career mentoring, and hosted by UCSF’s Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in San Francisco. RISE Scholars also complete a second one-week institute the following summer. The goal of the two-week RISE Summer Institute is to provide methodological training in Implementation Science (ImS), a set of methodologies that aligns well with NHLBI research priorities and will enhance the ability of scholars in biomedical sciences to conduct innovative research and compete successfully for NIH resources.
RISE is a part of the NHLBI's Program to Increase Mentoring of Early-Stage Investigators Engaged in Health-Related Research (NHLBI-PRIME). It is funded through an NHLBI grant R25HL126146.
