DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), proposes to continue the implementation of the Initiative for Minority Student Development "UCSF Biomedical Science Research Career Enhancement Program" (IMSD Program). This program strongly promotes excellence in scholarship and research career preparation of students from underrepresented groups pursuing the Ph.D. degree in biomedical and health sciences. University of California public institutions of higher education seek to provide access to graduate education to all promising students including those from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Though cost of attendance is relatively low, public universities do not have sufficient resources to provide adequate subsistence support for graduate students. Disadvantaged students are most adversely affected by this fiscal situation, which contributes to the low numbers of students from underrepresented groups in Ph.D. programs. The proposed IMSD Program enables UCSF to ensure that graduate students from underrepresented groups have sufficient financial, academic, intellectual, and social support to succeed in short-term, and, in the long-term when seeking and entering research career positions in the biomedical and health sciences. IMSD Program components combine mentored research assistantships with academic enrichment activities and team-building activities to achieve an optimal mix of graduate student support; intensive academic mentorship, and social support to prevent student isolation and/or marginalization. The IMSD Program aims to promote cross-disciplinary learning; team science; critical thinking; enhancement of research skills; close attention from faculty members regarding academic progress and career planning; linkages with a national scientific community; and development of skills not normally included in graduate curricula--such as training in research grant development and administration, resource management, scientific writing and publishing, oral presentation of findings, preparation of the curriculum vitae, and career planning skills. The two overall goals are: (1) to ensure timely completion of IMSD students' graduate studies with the highest degree of excellence and academic success, and (2) to foster biomedical and health science research careers in which IMSD graduates advance to leadership positions as independent investigators, career educators, and contributors to the permanent literature.

描述（由申请人提供）：加利福尼亚大学旧金山大学（UCSF）提议继续实施《 UCSF生物医学科学研究职业增强计划》（IMSD计划）。该计划强烈促进了奖学金和研究职业的卓越成就，从而，来自代表性不足的团体的学生攻读博士学位。生物医学和健康科学学位。加利福尼亚大学公共教育机构寻求为所有有前途的学生提供教育的机会，包括来自教育和经济弱势背景的学生。尽管出勤成本相对较低，但公立大学没有足够的资源来为研究生提供足够的生活支持。不利的学生受到这种财政状况的影响最大，这导致博士学位中代表性不足的学生人数少。程序。拟议的IMSD计划使UCSF能够确保来自代表性不足的群体的研究生具有足够的财务，学术，智力和社会支持，以便在短期内取得成功，并且在寻找和进入生物医学和健康科学的研究职业职位时。 IMSD计划组件将有指导的研究助手与学术丰富活动和团队建设活动相结合，以实现研究生支持的最佳组合；密集的学术指导和社会支持，以防止学生隔离和/或边缘化。 IMSD计划旨在促进跨学科学习；团队科学；批判性思维；提高研究技能；教师对学术进步和职业计划的密切关注；与国家科学界的联系；以及通常不包括在研究生课程中的技能的发展 - 例如研究赠款开发和管理，资源管理，科学写作和出版，研究结果的口头表现，课程的准备以及职业计划技能。这两个总体目标是：（1）确保及时完成IMSD学生的研究生学习，并具有最高的卓越程度和学术成就，以及（2）培养生物医学和健康科学研究生涯，其中IMSD毕业生在该职位上晋升为独立研究人员，职业教育工作者，以及对永久文学的独立研究人员，职业教育者以及贡献者。
