项目摘要

The goal of our IMSD program is to prepare students from underrepresented minority groups for careers in the biomedical sciences. Our major objective is to have an average of five participants from our program earn the Ph.D. each year. Although an ambitious goal, in recent years an average of 4.4 students have done so. Nationwide, for each 10,000 students enrolled, fewer than one minority student with a BA/BS degree in the life sciences goes on each year to earn a Ph.D. Fewer than 5% of Ph.D.s from Biology and Chemistry Departments were awarded to minority students. Thus our IMSD program should affect the overall performance of our university. Our objectives are: 1) a 95% graduation rate for IMSD undergraduates. 2) an acceptance rate into Ph.D. programs 15-25% for IMSD. 3) an increase to 18% in the proportion of Ph.D. awarded on our own campus to underrepresented minority students in the biomedical sciences. To achieve these objectives we must improve academic performance, provide personal, professional and financial support, and show our students that a career in research can be exciting and rewarding. The key activities that we plan to use are i, an intensive summer training program; ii, immersion of undergraduates in faculty research programs during the academic year; iii, a monthly Research Reports course for all participants; iiii, an office and support staff to provide academic guidance, personal counseling, and career advice; v, a "tutoring for excellence" program; and vi, a comprehensive graduate program that both uses and enhances elements of the undergraduate program. Most importantly, we try to build a community of faculty, staff, and students that support each other and share a commitment to significantly increasing the participation of underrepresented minorities in biomedical research.

我们的IMSD计划的目标是为来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生做好准备生物医学科学。我们的主要目标是平均有五名参与者获得博士学位每年。尽管一个雄心勃勃的目标，但近年来，平均有4.4名学生这样做了。在全国范围内，每10,000名入学学生，少于一名少数族裔学生拥有BA/BS 生命科学学位每年都有博士学位。来自生物学博士学位的5％不到5％化学部门被授予少数民族学生。因此，我们的IMSD程序应影响我们大学的整体表现。我们的目标是：1）IMSD本科生的毕业率为95％。 2）博士学位的接受率。 IMSD的计划为15-25％。 3）博士学位的比例增加到18％。在我们自己的校园中授予在生物医学科学中代表性不足的少数族裔学生。为了实现这些目标，我们必须提高学习成绩，提供个人，专业和财政支持，并向我们的学生展示研究职业可能令人兴奋和有意义。我们计划使用的关键活动是I，这是一项密集的夏季培训计划； II，沉浸学年的教师研究计划的本科生； III，每月研究报告为所有参与者提供课程； IIII，办公室和支持人员提供学术指导，个人咨询和职业建议； V，“卓越辅导”计划；和VI，全面的毕业生使用并增强本科课程元素的程序。最重要的是，我们试图建立一个互相支持并分享对彼此的教职员工社区大大增加了代表性少数群体参与生物医学研究的参与。
