项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The undergraduate component of the proposed USC IMSD program will seek to build on our already existing programs by offering underrepresented minority (URM) students a more extensive exposure to biomedical research than can be obtained during a single undergraduate summer laboratory rotation. The IMSD program will increase the level of qualified URM applicants to our graduate programs by offering minority students the opportunity to work as research assistants for two or three years in biomedical research laboratories while preparing for Graduate School. Students who complete the undergraduate portion of the USC IMSD program with a strong recommendation from their mentor and who have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher will be guaranteed admission into one of the graduate programs in the biomedical sciences at USC. The cooperating HBCUs will provide additional applicants to our graduate programs and to the USC PREP program. The IMSD undergraduates, students completing the PREP program, and well qualified students from the HBCUs will provide the core of the USC IMSD graduate program. The IMSD graduate program will begin with a graduate transition program in July so that the IMSD students are fully prepared for the start of their graduate course work in August. In addition, the IMSD program will provide participants with a graduate research assistantship during the first year of their graduate program and will pay their tuition for up to 4 years during their graduate training. The specific goals of the USC IMSD program are: (1) To recruit qualified underrepresented minority undergraduates to participate in funded biomedical research programs throughout the remainder of their undergraduate careers. (2) To improve research skills of IMSD participants through work as undergraduate research assistants in mentored relationships with both a faculty member and a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. (3) To help the students establish relationships among peers and faculty at USC and elsewhere in the research community so that the students have well-defined career goals and a support system that helps them achieve their goals. (4) To provide a smooth transition from undergraduate science programs at USC and the cooperating HBCUs to biomedical graduate programs at USC. The success of this program will increase the diversity of scientists with careers in biomedical research. This increased diversity will provide a more balanced perspective on research issues and contribute toward solutions for the correction of health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的南加州大学 IMSD 项目的本科部分将寻求以我们现有项目为基础，为代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生提供比在单个本科生暑期实验室中获得的更广泛的生物医学研究机会旋转。 IMSD 项目将为少数族裔学生提供在生物医学研究实验室担任两到三年研究助理的机会，同时为研究生院做准备，从而提高合格 URM 研究生项目申请者的水平。在导师的强烈推荐下完成南加州大学 IMSD 课程本科部分且本科 GPA 达到 3.0 或更高的学生将保证被南加州大学生物医学科学研究生课程之一录取。合作的 HBCU 将为我们的研究生课程和 USC PREP 课程提供更多申请者。 IMSD 本科生、完成 PREP 课程的学生以及来自 HBCU 的合格学生将提供南加州大学 IMSD 研究生课程的核心。 IMSD 研究生项目将于 7 月开始研究生过渡计划，以便 IMSD 学生为 8 月开始研究生课程工作做好充分准备。此外，IMSD项目还将在研究生课程第一年为参与者提供研究生研究助理奖学金，并在研究生培训期间支付长达4年的学费。南加州大学 IMSD 项目的具体目标是：（1）招募合格的代表性不足的少数族裔本科生，在其剩余的本科生涯中参与资助的生物医学研究项目。 (2) 通过担任本科生研究助理，与教职员工和研究生或博士后建立指导关系，提高 IMSD 参与者的研究技能。 (3) 帮助学生在南加州大学和研究界其他地方的同龄人和教师之间建立关系，以便学生有明确的职业目标和帮助他们实现目标的支持系统。 (4) 提供从南加州大学和合作的 HBCU 本科科学课程到南加州大学生物医学研究生课程的平稳过渡。该计划的成功将增加从事生物医学研究的科学家的多样性。这种多样性的增加将为研究问题提供更加平衡的视角，并有助于纠正健康差异的解决方案。
