The BUILDing SCHOLARS center is dedicated to the implementation, evaluation and sustainability of a suite of institutional, faculty and student development programs and activities that will positively transform the training of the next generation of biomedical researchers from the U.S. Southwest region in an effort to substantially diversify the biomedical research workforce so that it mirrors the population of the nation.

Freshman Year Research Intensive Sequence (FYRIS)
UTEP Related Effort
Funding: Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and National Institutes of Health (NIH)

The FYRIS program is a three-course sequence designed to provide freshmen with course-based undergraduate research experiences. The sequence consists of one research foundations course taught through SCI-1301 (a core course) and two semesters of a research track. All courses are part of degree plans in various majors. Some courses are at the junior/senior level.

RISE Option III: Research Scholars Program
UTEP Related Effort
Funding: This program is funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH).
Contact: Renato Aguilera

The primary objective of the RISE Scholars Program at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is to increase the participation of disadvantaged underrepresented minority students (URM) in biomedical research. The UTEP RISE Program is comprised of two distinct populations of trainees: a) Students that participate in research projects as undergraduates and b) Graduate students working towards a Ph.D. degree.

On-campus and external undergraduate research opportunities (COURI)

The Campus Office of Undergraduate Research Initiatives (COURI) seeks to enrich the undergraduate experience of students by facilitating, enhancing and showcasing their research training. This mission lies at the core of UTEP’s goal of becoming the first national research university with a 21st century student demographic.
