DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of this program are to: 1) increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students choosing a research career in the biomedical sciences, 2) enhance the quantity and quality of URM students enrolled in the doctoral program in the College of Graduate Studies, 3) prepare them for a successful career in biomedical sciences, 4) provide structured activities that enhance the interaction of minority and majority students and 5) increase the number of URMs in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP). To accomplish these goals a Minority Recruitment Committee will be developed to assist in recruiting URMs. An MUSC "Science Day" will be implemented to expose minority students to the excitement of biomedical science research. Undergraduate science advisors will nominate potential URM Ph.D. applicants who will attend "Science Day" with a parent and the advisor. The SURP will be expanded by five students, designated as E.E. Just Scholars. These SURP participants will interact with minority graduate students via a Big Brother/Sister program. A summer pre-matriculation course to review basic biochemical and molecular concepts will be available for all new students. All students will participate in a "Diversity in Science" course that will foster the interaction of minority and majority students that focuses on issues related to minorities in biomedical science. URM graduate students will serve as Graduate Student Ambassadors to HBCUs and present seminars to undergraduates. Funds will be provided for URM graduate students to present their research at a national meeting. A Mentoring Committee will be developed to 1) monitor and advise URM doctoral students through the graduate training program, 2) assist with career development and 3) organize the content of the "Diversity in Science" course as well as career workshops. Internal and External Advisory Committees will provide oversight for the program. These programmatic elements will increase the number of minority students participating in biomedical science research and prepare them for a successful career.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的目标是：1) 增加选择生物医学科学研究职业的少数族裔 (URM) 学生的数量，2) 提高就读博士生的 URM 学生的数量和质量研究生学院的课程，3) 为他们在生物医学科学领域的成功职业生涯做好准备，4) 提供结构化活动，增强少数族裔和多数族学生的互动，5) 增加夏季 URM 的数量本科生研究计划（SURP）。为了实现这些目标，将成立少数族裔招募委员会来协助招募 URM。 MUSC 将举办“科学日”，让少数族裔学生体验生物医学科学研究的乐趣。本科生科学顾问将提名潜在的 URM 博士。将与家长和顾问一起参加“科学日”的申请人。 SURP 将增加五名学生，这些学生被指定为 E.E. Just 学者。这些 SURP 参与者将通过“老大哥/大姐”项目与少数族裔研究生互动。所有新生均可参加夏季预科课程，复习基本的生化和分子概念。所有学生都将参加“科学多样性”课程，该课程将促进少数群体和多数群体学生的互动，重点关注生物医学领域与少数群体相关的问题。 URM 研究生将担任 HBCU 的研究生大使，并向本科生举办研讨会。将为 URM 研究生在全国会议上展示他们的研究提供资金。将成立一个指导委员会，负责 1）通过研究生培训计划对 URM 博士生进行监督和建议，2）协助职业发展，3）组织“科学多样性”课程的内容以及职业研讨会。内部和外部咨询委员会将为该计划提供监督。这些计划要素将增加参与生物医学科学研究的少数族裔学生的数量，并为他们的成功职业生涯做好准备。
