DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Minnesota Duluth (UM-D) will establish an undergraduate student, Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD) program. The program titled "Pathways to Advanced Degrees in Life Science" (PADLS) will prepare students for admission to research doctoral degree programs. Developmental activities will include workshops in Responsible Conduct in Research, scientific writing, presentation skills, computer modeling, quantitative methods and critical thinking. Trainees will discuss career options in biomedical research and prepare for entry into graduate school through PADLS research forums, offered throughout the academic year. Trainees will gain experience in research laboratories at UM-D during the first summer and during the academic year. The second summer will be a total immersion into a research laboratory; trainees can enter the Life Science Summer Undergraduate Research Program (LSSURP) at the University of Minnesota Minneapolis (UMM) or remain at UM-D for this experience. The PADLS trainees accepted into the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMTC) graduate school will enter the Community of Scholars Program (COSP) prior to entering graduate school. The COSP provides early exposure for entry-level graduate students to the diverse resources available at UMTC. The PADLS program will train eight students per year during a four year period; a minimum of 19 trainees will enter doctoral programs during this period. Public health relevance: The University of Minnesota Duluth (UM-D) will establish an Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD) entitled "Pathway to Advanced Degrees in Life Sciences" (PADLS). The undergraduate students will participate in academic enrichment activities and science research during their junior and senior years at UM-D. The students will be prepared to directly enter into a doctoral biomedical research program after graduation.

描述（由申请人提供）：明尼苏达大学Duluth（UM-D）将建立一名本科生，以最大化学生多样性计划（IMSD）计划。该计划的标题为“生命科学高级学位的途径”（PADLS）将为学生准备研究博士学位课程的准备。发展活动将包括研究，科学写作，演示技巧，计算机建模，定量方法和批判性思维的负责任的讲习班。学员将讨论生物医学研究中的职业选择，并准备通过整个学年提供的PADLS研究论坛进入研究生院。在第一个夏天和学年，学员将获得UM-D研究实验室的经验。第二个夏天将完全沉浸在研究实验室中；学员可以进入明尼苏达大学明尼苏达大学（UMM）的生活科学夏季本科研究计划（LSSURP），也可以继续使用UM-D。在进入研究生院之前，被接受进入明尼苏达大学双城（UMTC）研究生院的PADLS受训者将进入学者计划（COSP）。 COSP为入门级研究生提供了早期接触，可向UMTC提供的各种资源。 PADLS计划将在四年内每年培训八名学生；在此期间，至少有19名学员将进入博士课程。 公共卫生相关性：明尼苏达大学Duluth（UM-D）将建立一项倡议，以最大化学生多样性（IMSD），名为“通往生命科学高级学位的途径”（PADLS）。本科生将在UM-D的大三和大四时参加学术丰富活动和科学研究。毕业后，学生将准备直接进入博士生物医学研究计划。
