The goals of our IMSD program are to increase significantly the number of minority students who achieve the Ph.D. degree and to train students for careers in the sciences, as teachers, researchers in universities and the biotechnology industry or as health care professionals. Both graduate and undergraduate students participate in our program. We have three specific objectives. First, we have outlined a long-term plan to nearly double the number of IMSD participants who earn the Ph.D. Under the previous MBRS program we produced 20 Ph.D.s in the period 1988-1997. Our IMSD program began in 1998. We have set a target 36 Ph.D.s for the period 1998-2007. To meet that objective we propose to produce 14-15 Ph.D.s in the next four years. The second objective is to have a 95% graduation rate for all undergraduate participants. Furthermore we want to maintain our record of placing 95% of our graduates in graduate schools, professional Schools or in jobs in which they use their biology and chemistry training. The third objective is to increase the number of minority students who publish in journals and who make presentations at national scientific meetings. We wish to increase the number of papers and published abstracts by 40%. We propose to support 8 Ph.D. students and 15 undergraduates. The major elements of our program are: a) early outreach to students in their first and second year; b) selection of research students at the beginning of the third year; c) a novel summer training course; d) undergraduate research positions in faculty labs; e) the graduate program; f) a monthly student research seminar; and g) the program support office.

我们IMSD计划的目标是显着增加获得博士学位的少数族裔学生的数量。学位并培训学生在科学领域的职业，作为大学和生物技术行业的教师，研究人员或医疗保健专业人员。研究生和本科生都参加了我们的计划。我们有三个特定的目标。首先，我们概述了一项长期计划，几乎是获得博士学位的IMSD参与者人数的两倍。在先前的MBR计划下，我们在1988 - 1997年期间获得了20个博士学位。我们的IMSD计划始于1998年。我们为1998 - 2007年期间设定了目标36博士学位。为了实现这一目标，我们建议在未来四年中出示14-15博士学位。第二个目标是所有本科参与者的毕业率为95％。此外，我们希望保持我们将95％的毕业生在研究生院，专业学校或他们使用生物学和化学培训的工作中的记录。第三个目标是增加在期刊上发表并在国家科学会议上进行演讲的少数族裔学生的数量。我们希望将论文的数量和发表的摘要增加40％。我们建议支持8博士学位。学生和15名本科生。我们计划的主要要素是：a）在第一年和第二年对学生的早期推广； b）在第三年初选择研究学生； c）一个新颖的夏季培训课程； d）教师实验室的本科研究职位； e）研究生课程； f）每月的学生研究研讨会； g）计划支持办公室。
