项目摘要

The Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) IMSD Program has been in effect since 2010 to provide training and increase UR scholars in the biomedical enterprise. The specific goals of the last proposal were (1) To provide mentored research experiences for 16 IMSD Undergraduate Scholars/ year and 4 IMSD PhD students/ year, (2) To use both well-tested and novel strategies to increase academic success of IMSD trainees, (3) To design and deliver enrichment activities that develop trainees' critical thinking/ problem solving skills, improve communications skills, increase awareness of careers that complement their interests and personalities, (4) To ensure that at least 60% of IMSD Undergraduate Scholars enroll in competitive PhD programs in the biomedical sciences, (5) To ensure that ≥90% of IMSD Scholars who enroll complete PhD programs in the biomedical sciences, (6) To use aggressive recruiting strategies to increase URM applications to the Biomedical Sciences Doctoral Portal by 100%, and (7) To increase productivity of URM PhD students to be comparable to that of their peers. Each of these measureable outcomes has been achieved with significant success with 55 undergraduates and 15 PhD scholars supported through the VCU IMSD program. In the past funding cycle, 60% of the UGs have entered PhD programs at various institutions nationally, all PhD scholars have graduated with significant peer-reviewed publications, have remained in the biomedical workforce with 75% entering academic institutions as postdoctoral fellows. We will build upon this promising progress with the following specific aims, 1) Expose 16 UR undergraduates to high quality biomedical research, 2) Elevate 6 highly qualified UR graduate students to a successful PhD, and 3) engage the wider VCU community in biomedical research and professional training. The measureable outcomes of each of these aims are consistent with the goals of the IMSD Program “to develop the pool of a diverse group of highly trained undergraduate and graduate students who go on to research careers and will be available to participate in NIH-funded research.”

弗吉尼亚联邦大学 (VCU) IMSD 计划自 2010 年起生效，提供培训并增加生物医药企业的UR学者。最后提案的具体目标是（1）。每年为 16 名 IMSD 本科生和 4 名 IMSD 博士生提供指导研究经验年，(2) 使用经过充分测试的新颖策略来提高 IMSD 学员的学业成功率，(3) 设计和提供丰富的活动，培养学员的批判性思维/解决问题的能力，提高沟通技巧，提高对与其兴趣和个性互补的职业的认识，(4) 确保至少 60% 的 IMSD 本科生就读于具有竞争力的博士课程生物医学科学，(5) 确保 ≥90% 的 IMSD 学者在该项目中注册完整的博士课程生物医学科学，(6) 使用积极的招募策略来增加 URM 的应用生物医学科学博士门户网站增加 100%，以及 (7) 提高 URM 博士生的生产力这些可衡量的成果中的每一项都取得了显着的成果。过去，VCU IMSD 项目支持了 55 名本科生和 15 名博士学者，取得了成功。资助周期，60%的UG进入全国各机构攻读博士学位，全部为博士生毕业时发表了重要的同行评审出版物，并留在生物医学队伍中 75% 的人作为博士后进入学术机构，我们将在这一有希望的进展的基础上继续努力。遵循特定目标，1) 让 16 名 UR 本科生接触高质量的生物医学研究，2) 提升 6 高素质的 UR 研究生取得成功的博士学位，并且 3) 让更广泛的 VCU 社区参与进来每个目标的可衡量成果是生物医学研究和专业培训。与 IMSD 计划的目标“培养受过良好培训的多元化群体人才库”相一致继续从事研究职业并将可以参加的本科生和研究生 NIH 资助的研究。”
