PROJECT SUMMARY To address the lack of diversity in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce, the UMB IMSD program aims to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities (URs) in biomedical PhD programs, increase their retention rates, and provide career development to prepare these students for a future career in STEM. UR participation and retention in graduate school is hampered by multiple factors. Institutional environment, the lack of a large cohort, and encountering racial microaggressions are all contributing factors to UR attrition in PhD programs. Further, a lack of strong mentoring connections is also a mitigating factor. To address these issues, the UMB IMSD will provide programming to increase retention and better prepare these students for their future careers. The program will provide workshops on scientific writing and provide opportunities for students to hone their presentation skills. Workshops on stress management, mindfulness, and dealing with microaggressions will also be provided. To strengthen student-mentor relationships, faculty will be provided workshops to educate them on the unique challenges that UR students face and open discussions between faculty and students will be carried out. Trainees will be educated on the various career tracks in the STEM field via a Diversity Seminar series. The IMSD plans to recruit 10 students per year and trainees will be appointed for one year, their first year of graduate school. This program will help students transition to successful careers in the STEM workforce.

项目摘要 解决科学，技术，工程和数学中缺乏多样性 （STEM）劳动力，UMB IMSD计划旨在增加参与 生物医学博士计划中代表性不足的少数族裔（URS），增加其保留率 比率，并提供职业发展，以使这些学生为未来的职业做好准备 干。 UR参与和研究生的保留受到多个的阻碍 因素。机构环境，缺乏大型队列以及遇到种族 显微攻击都是博士课程中的损耗的促成因素。此外， 缺乏强大的指导连接也是缓解因素。解决这些 问题，UMB IMSD将提供编程以提高保留率和更好 这些学生为未来的职业做好准备。该计划将提供有关 科学写作并为学生提供了磨练自己的演讲技巧的机会。 关于压力管理，正念和处理微攻击的讲习班将 也提供。为了加强学生和人际关系，将提供教师 讲习班以教育他们的学生面临和开放的独特挑战 教师与学生之间的讨论将进行。学员将接受教育 通过多样性研讨会系列在STEM领域的各种职业轨道上。 IMSD 计划每年招募10名学生，并任命学员一年 研究生院的第一年。该计划将帮助学生过渡到成功 STEM劳动力的职业。
