About RISE

About

The Haskell Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) is a National Institute of Health (NIH) supported program at Haskell Indian Nations University that promotes diversity in biomedical research. In order to introduce and retain American Indian students in the biomedical sciences, the program provides a Learning Center at Haskell and research experiences within laboratories of KU faculty. All students are welcome at the RISE learning Center. Students who are accepted into the research program must be seeking an undergraduate degree in a field that has relevance to the biomedical sciences and have an interest in pursuing a career in biomedical research.
