ABSTRACT The University at Buffalo (UB) continues to work towards increasing the number of PhD students from underrepresented groups in biomedical and behavioral sciences. The IMSD at UB plays an essential role in attracting and supporting students through collaborative learning and integrated mentoring. Since 2012, a total of 39 students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds (46% AA, 44% H/L, 5% NA; 5% Multiple Races; 44% W) enrolled and participated in IMSD professional development activities. To date, 11 graduated and 21 are in training, with a mean time to graduation of 5.3 years (median: 4.8 years). The graduation rate moved from 73% during the initial funding period to an estimated 94% in the current funding period. The IMSD at UB is building upon this success, together with faculty from 18 departments spanning seven UB Schools and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, to continue the transformation of UB into a leading institution for training a diverse workforce. Specific aims are: 1) Attract five PhD students underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral sciences at UB per year increasing diversity by a total of 25 during the 5-year funding period, by using targeted recruiting and holistic review. 2) Provide mentoring, professional development and grant writing training to achieve academic success, secure funding and ensure successful completion of PhD degrees. The program will guide students through their PhD training using Individualized Development Plans to tailor research activities, professional development, mentoring and faculty support. 3) Facilitate access to careers in science and leadership positions to foster successful transition into competitive postdoctoral positions and jobs in academia, industry, government, or other organizations. To foster growth of professional networks, the program developed the Career Pathways Seminar to allow IMSD students to meet and establish relationships with leaders in these institutions where they will potentially complete a research internship to explore future career paths. 4) Create a safe, diverse and inclusive research learning environment adaptive to students’ academic and professional needs. This aim will focus on increasing faculty recruitment and retention efforts. Using established partnerships with the Office of the UB Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence, Unit Diversity Officers, and UB senior administration, the program will expand activities dedicated to holistic review of applications by graduate program directors, admissions committees, administrators and faculty search committees and developing faculty mentoring skills to recruit and retain a student-focused, diverse faculty population at UB. The success of the IMSD at UB will be realized by: a) increasing diversity of applicant pools for graduate students and faculty, b) students’ scientific productivity and entry into the workforce, c) improved student and faculty mentoring and support, and d) building a more inclusive learning environment at UB.

抽象的 布法罗大学 (UB) 继续努力增加来自以下国家的博士生数量 布法罗大学的 IMSD 在生物医学和行为科学领域发挥着重要作用。 自 2012 年以来，通过协作学习和综合辅导吸引和支持学生。 39 名学生来自传统上代表性不足的背景（46% AA、44% H/L、5% NA；5% 多重 种族；44% W) 报名并参加了 IMSD 专业发展活动 迄今为止，已有 11 人毕业。 21 人正在接受培训，平均毕业时间为 5.3 年（中位数：4.8 年）。 IMSD 从最初资助期间的 73% 上升到当前资助期间的估计 94%。 布法罗大学正在与来自布法罗大学七所学校 18 个系的教师一起在这一成功的基础上再接再厉 和罗斯威尔帕克综合癌症中心，继续将布法罗大学转变为领先机构 培训多元化的劳动力队伍的具体目标是：1）吸引生物医学领域代表性不足的五名博士生。 在 5 年资助期内，布法罗大学的行为科学每年将多样性增加 25 个， 通过有针对性的招聘和整体审查 2) 提供指导、专业发展和资助。 写作培训以取得学术成功、获得资金并确保成功完成博士学位 该计划将指导学生使用个性化发展计划完成博士学位培训。 定制研究活动、专业发展、指导和教师支持 3) 促进获得资源。 科学和领导职位的职业生涯，以促进成功过渡到有竞争力的博士后 学术界、工业界、政府或其他组织的职位和工作促进专业人士的成长。 网络，该计划开发了职业道路研讨会，让 IMSD 学生能够见面并建立 与这些机构的领导者建立关系，他们有可能完成研究实习 4) 探索未来的职业道路。创建一个安全、多元化和包容性的研究学习环境。 该目标将侧重于增加教师的招聘和保留。 利用与布法罗大学包容性卓越副教务长办公室的既定合作伙伴关系 多样性官员和布法罗大学高级行政人员，该计划将扩大致力于整体审查的活动 研究生项目主任、招生委员会、管理人员和教师搜索的申请 发展委员会和教师指导技能，以招募和留住以学生为中心的多元化教师 布法罗大学 IMSD 的成功将通过以下方式实现： a) 增加申请者群体的多样性。 对于研究生和教师，b) 学生的科学生产力和进入劳动力市场，c) 提高 学生和教师的指导和支持，以及 d) 在布法罗大学建设更具包容性的学习环境。
