DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of New Mexico is requesting $2.569 million to renew for four more years our Initiative for Minority Student Development (IMSD). Our IMSD prepares at least 40 students for graduate school, and supports at least 10 graduate students to complete their degrees in biomedical, behavioral and bioengineering fields. We expect most of them will pursue research careers that will help reduce health disparities (diabetes, cancer, obesity, infant mortality, HIV/AIDS, and alcoholism) that afflict minorities and those in poverty. The aims and objectives we have used successfully in the current program and propose for the next four years are: Aim 1: To increase numbers of undergraduates prepared for research careers, we are expanding our recruitment/retention efforts. All IMSD undergraduates participate in: (1) a faculty-mentored research experience to develop technical and intellectual skills; (2) a 1-credit conference course involving preparing a research proposal, research poster presentations, bioethics, seminars, and career development activities; (3) participating in research symposia; (4) attending workshops on graduate school applications and the GRE; 5) writing graduate school applications and taking the GRE; 6) attending a Discovery and Innovation course to be exposed to multi/interdisciplinary research; and 7) participating in a Responsible Conduct of Research series. Through these efforts, we will increase to 60% the number entering graduate school upon graduation. Aim 2: To broaden multi/interdisciplinary research opportunities for all students at UNM in areas funded by NIH, we will: 1) add mentors in more science and engineering fields; 2) develop courses and workshops taught by faculty from Model Organism Databases, e.g. FlyBase at Harvard; 3) develop new collaborations with the Genomics and MCB T32, etc., at the University of Washington; and 4) increase student understanding of interdisciplinary research by creating new Discovery and Innovation courses in other departments. Aim 3: To increase the success of underrepresented graduate students at UNM, we will: 1) support/mentor 5 graduate students during their first two years; 2) provide leadership opportunities through the conference class (which they will help to teach) and peer mentoring; 3) provide academic and financial support, as available, in their last 2 semesters prior to graduation; and 4) work with the Office of Graduate Studies (OGS), the Peer Mentoring for Graduate Students of Color organization, and others to increase the number of minority students in UNM graduate programs. Through these efforts, 90% of the IMSD Ph.D. students will complete their doctoral degrees within 6 years. Evaluations of IMSD students and a control group will be carried out to determine the success of each program element, to identify areas for improvement, and to provide information about enrollments, success, and challenges to the program and departments. Each of these objectives is aligned with the goals for IMSD programs and aimed at making sustainable increases in minority graduate school enrollment and success. Public health relevance: The UNM Initiative for Minority Student Development (IMSD) plans during the next four-year program of activities to prepare at least 40 underrepresented minority and other students for graduate school degree programs in the biomedical, behavioral and bioengineering fields, and to assist at least 10 underrepresented minority graduate students in these fields to complete their degree programs. The significance of these accomplishments is that we expect most of these students will pursue research careers that will help reduce health disparities (diabetes, cancer, obesity, infant mortality, HIV/AIDS, and alcoholism) that afflict minorities and those in poverty. To whatever extent their research will contribute toward this overall goal, to that extent will all ethnic groups and people benefit from the results of these efforts.

描述（由申请人提供）：新墨西哥大学要求256.9万美元续签四年我们的少数民族学生发展计划（IMSD）。我们的IMSD为研究生院至少准备了40名学生，并支持至少10名研究生完成生物医学，行为和生物工程领域的学位。我们希望其中大多数将从事研究职业，这将有助于减少健康差异（糖尿病，癌症，肥胖，婴儿死亡率，艾滋病毒/艾滋病和酒精中毒），使少数群体和贫困人士陷入困境。我们在当前计划中成功使用的目的和目标是：目标1：为了增加为研究职业准备的本科生数量，我们正在扩大招聘/保留工作。所有IMSD的本科生都参加：（1）由教职员工的研究经验来发展技术和智力技能； （2）一项1学分的会议课程，涉及准备研究建议，研究海报演示，生物伦理学，研讨会和职业发展活动； （3）参加研究研讨会； （4）参加有关研究生院申请和GRE的研讨会； 5）编写研究生院申请并接受GRE； 6）参加发现和创新课程，以接触多/跨学科研究； 7）参加负责任的研究系列。通过这些努力，我们将增加毕业后进入研究生院的60％。目标2：为NIH资助的领域的所有UNM的学生扩大多/跨学科研究机会，我们将：1）在更多的科学和工程领域中添加导师； 2）开发由模型有机数据库的教师教授的课程和讲习班，例如哈佛大学的飞屁股； 3）在华盛顿大学与基因组学和MCB T32等建立了新的合作； 4）通过在其他部门创建新的发现和创新课程来提高学生对跨学科研究的理解。目标3：为了增加UNM代表性不足的研究生的成功，我们将：1）在他们的头两年中，支持/指导5名研究生； 2）通过会议班（他们将帮助教学）和同伴指导提供领导机会； 3）在毕业前的最后两个学期中提供学术和财政支持； 4）与研究生研究办公室（OGS），彩色组织研究生的同伴指导以及其他人一起工作，以增加研究生课程中的少数族裔学生的数量。通过这些努力，有90％的IMSD博士学位。学生将在6年内完成博士学位。将对IMSD学生和对照组进行评估，以确定每个程序元素的成功，确定改进领域，并为计划和部门提供有关入学，成功和挑战的信息。这些目标中的每一个都与IMSD计划的目标保持一致，并旨在使少数族裔研究生院的入学率和成功的可持续发展。 公共卫生相关性：下一个四年活动计划中的少数群体学生发展计划（IMSD）计划，以准备至少40个代表性不足的少数群体和其他学生在生物医学，行为和生物工程领域的研究生学位课程，并在这些领域的至少10个领域的少数群体研究生中，以完成这些领域的学位课程，以完成学位课程。这些成就的意义在于，我们希望大多数学生将从事研究职业，这将有助于减少健康差异（糖尿病，癌症，肥胖，婴儿死亡率，艾滋病毒/艾滋病和酒精中毒），以困扰少数群体和贫困者。无论如何他们的研究都会为这一总体目标做出贡献，在这方面，所有种族都将从这些努力的结果中受益。
