Summary: Through intentional programming and community based outreach efforts to under-served communities, this supplement seeks to promote student wellness and resiliency. Student feedback from pilots of the proposed activities highlight their indelibly positive impact on student well-being and resiliency. Both activities, however, were hurriedly organized and implemented during the height of the pandemic; both can be significantly improved. The goal of this supplement is to take the time needed to organize, expand, and evolve both efforts to optimize their ability to drive student wellness, resiliency, and success. Focusing specifically on outreach activities, we will enhance our IMSD and MARC led tutoring and science programs by developing a workshop on best practices for urban youth, creating detailed protocols and resources for 12 monthly student led hands-on science demonstrations, and working with tutors, students, parents, and leadership of local high schools and non-profit organizations to increase program efficiency and sustainability. We will enhance the success of our Wellness and Resiliency Workshop by improving website design to facilitate greater student interaction through web-based discussions, adding sessions on building resiliency through community, and introducing an associated in-person (or remote) monthly discussion group that focuses on challenges students are facing in graduate school. By evolving these activities, which will be open to all PhD students in the Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences at Washington University, to best meet our students' needs, we are confident they will increase the wellness and resiliency of all participating PhD students (and the academic achievement of high school students) and in so doing provide them with critical skills that will help them enjoy and succeed in graduate school and beyond. The key measurable objectives of our proposed activities are the same: reduce student stress, increase student ability to manage stressful and anxiety-inducing situations, increase student wellness, and increase student resiliency. To assess the effectiveness of each intervention in achieving its goals, we will conduct pre-/post-test surveys with all students to track the impact of each activity on each parameter via multiple quantitative and qualitative questions. As Dr. Jim Skeath, the IMSD program director, will help oversee the creation and implementation of all activities, he is perfectly positioned to ensure they are integrated into the fabric of the IMSD programming and culture long-term, ensuring their sustainability.

摘要：通过有意识的规划和基于社区的外展工作，解决服务不足的问题 该补充品旨在促进学生的健康和适应能力。飞行员的学生反馈 拟议的活动强调了它们对学生福祉和适应能力的不可磨灭的积极影响。两个都 但在疫情最严重的时候，活动的组织和实施却十分仓促；两者都可以 显着改善。本补充的目标是花时间来组织、扩展和发展 双方都致力于优化自身能力，促进学生健康、适应力和成功。特别关注 外展活动中，我们将通过开发 城市青年最佳实践研讨会，为 12 个月的学生主导制定详细的协议和资源 实践科学演示，并与导师、学生、家长和当地高中的领导合作 学校和非营利组织提高项目效率和可持续性。我们将加强 通过改进网站设计以方便更多的学生，我们的健康和弹性研讨会取得了成功 通过基于网络的讨论进行互动，添加有关通过社区建立弹性的会议，以及 引入一个关联的面对面（或远程）每月讨论小组，重点关注学生面临的挑战 正在研究生院面临。通过发展这些活动，这些活动将向该部门的所有博士生开放 华盛顿大学生物与生物医学科学系，为了最好地满足学生的需求，我们 相信他们将提高所有参与博士生（以及学术界）的健康和弹性 高中生的成就），从而为他们提供关键技能，帮助他们享受 并在研究生院及以后取得成功。 我们提议的活动的主要可衡量目标是相同的：减轻学生压力，提高学生 管理压力和焦虑诱发情况的能力，提高学生的健康水平，并提高学生的能力 弹性。为了评估每项干预措施实现其目标的有效性，我们将进行前/后测试 对所有学生进行调查，通过多种定量和方法来跟踪每项活动对每个参数的影响 定性问题。 IMSD 项目总监 Jim Skeath 博士将帮助监督创建和 在执行所有活动时，他完全有能力确保这些活动融入到组织结构中 IMSD 的规划和文化是长期的，确保其可持续性。
