Scientific discovery requires innovation, curiosity and a breadth of perspectives. The Graduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (G-RISE) program at UNT aims to produce a pool of highly trained scientists from all backgrounds, because our collective diversity generates a diversity of ideas, which in turn lead to excellence in scientific research.

The G-RISE program at UNT is funded by the National Institutes of Health, through grant T32GM136501. The mission of this project is to provide research, core, and professional skills development to Ph.D. trainees from minoritized communities at UNT, as well as providing a positive training impact to our entire graduate STEM community.
