项目摘要

The undergraduate component of the proposed USCIMSD program will seek to build on our already-existing programs by offering under-represented 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 HCBUs 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 coursework 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 career. (2) To improve research skills of IMSD participants through work as an undergraduate research assistant in a mentored relationship with both a faculty member and a graduate students 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 HCBUs 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 towards soloutions for the correction of health disparities.

拟议的USCIMSD计划的本科组成部分将寻求建立我们已经存在的计划通过提供代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）学生，对生物医学研究更广泛地接触在单个本科夏季实验室轮换期间获得。 IMSD计划将提高合格的URM申请人是我们的研究生课程的申请人在准备研究生院时，助理在生物医学研究实验室工作了两三年。学生填写USC IMSD计划的本科生，并通过其导师和在本科GPA为3.0或更高的本科生将被保证进入研究生课程之一南加州大学的生物医学科学。合作的HBCU将为我们的研究生课程提供其他申请人到USC准备程序。 IMSD本科生，完成准备计划的学生以及合格的来自HCBU的学生将提供USC IMSD研究生课程的核心。 IMSD研究生课程将从7月的研究生过渡计划开始，以便IMSD学生为开始的开始做好充分的准备八月份的研究生课程。此外，IMSD计划将为参与者提供研究生研究助学金在其研究生课程的第一年中，并将在他们的学费研究生培训。 USC IMSD计划的具体目标是：（1）招募合格代表性不足的少数族裔大学生来参加资助的生物医学研究在本科生的剩余时间里计划。（2）通过作为本科研究助理的工作来提高IMSD参与者的研究技能与教师和研究生或博士后研究员的指导关系。（3）帮助学生在加州大学和研究中其他地方建立同龄人和教师之间的关系社区，使学生拥有明确定义的职业目标和支持系统，以帮助他们实现自己的实现目标。（4）从加州大学的本科科学课程和合作HCBUS提供平稳的过渡到南加州大学的生物医学研究生课程。该计划的成功将通过生物医学研究中的职业增加科学家的多样性。这增加了多样性将为研究问题提供更平衡的看法，并为解决方案做出贡献纠正健康差异。
