项目摘要

The purpose of this IMSD is to increase the number of underrepresented ethnic minority students who receive graduate research training in Sociomedical Sciences and Epidemiology. The Initiative has two components, targeting both Columbia University graduate students in the Masters of Public Health program of the Joseph L. Mailman School of Public Health and undergraduates who are participating in Columbia's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences' Summer Research Program for Students from Historically Underrepresented Minority Groups. For the Master's students, a number of development activities will be undertaken to strengthen students' research skills and to facilitate their transition into doctoral programs. These include: a seminar course that provides workshops on research methods, statistical analyses, scientific writing, techniques and coping strategies for success in graduate school, research career and professional development; research placements characterized by strong mentoring relationships with preceptors; mentoring relationships with advanced graduate students, i.e., a "buddy system" whereby Master's students are matched with Doctoral students; and attendance at scientific conferences. For the undergraduate students, informational outreach by our faculty and subsequent student participation in the Summer Research Program with Epidemiology and Sociomedical Sciences faculty mentors will strengthen the pipeline of minority students into graduate research programs. It is anticipated that upon graduation, Master's students who have completed this Initiative program will enter doctoral research programs or research careers.

该IMSD的目的是增加接受社会医学科学和流行病学研究生研究培训的少数族裔学生的数量。该倡议由两个部分组成，针对参加约瑟夫·L·梅尔曼公共卫生学院公共卫生硕士项目的哥伦比亚大学研究生和参加哥伦比亚艺术与科学研究生院历史学学生夏季研究项目的本科生代表性不足的少数群体。对于硕士生，将开展一系列发展活动，以加强学生的研究技能并促进他们向博士课程的过渡。其中包括：研讨会课程，提供有关研究方法、统计分析、科学写作、研究生院成功、研究生涯和专业发展的技巧和应对策略的研讨会；研究实习的特点是与导师有牢固的指导关系；与高年级研究生的导师关系，即硕士生与博士生的“伙伴制度”；以及出席科学会议。对于本科生来说，我们教师的信息外展以及随后学生与流行病学和社会医学科学教师导师一起参加夏季研究项目将加强少数族裔学生进入研究生研究项目的渠道。预计完成该计划的硕士生毕业后将进入博士研究项目或研究生涯。
