DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Arizona (UA) seeks to continue and expand the effective implementation of a comprehensive training program to increase the number of underrepresented minority students (URMs) who enter and successfully complete doctoral degrees in the biomedical sciences and pursue biomedical research careers. In this grant, we propose 1) to increase the number of URM graduate students enrolled in 16 participating UA Ph.D. programs to 12 students per year or 60 in the 5 years of the grant, and ensure that 90% of them complete the Ph.D.; 2) to enlarge the pool of UA URM undergraduates who have the grades, research experience, preparation and motivation to enter biomedical Ph.D. programs to 12 per year or 60 in the 5 years of the grant, with the expectation that 60% of them will directly enter a Ph.D. program upon completion of the bachelor's degree; 3) to increase our understanding of the motivational, psychological and other factors that allow our IMSD graduate students to consistently maintain a lead in the completion of their Ph.D., compared to other graduate students not in the IMSD program in each of the participating 16 UA biomedical Ph.D. programs; 4) to develop online modules and podcasts to help URM IMSD Ph.D. students improve their understanding of biomedical science, learn allied skills, and develop teaching skills, thus further preparing them for an academic or research career, in partnership with Brown University; 5) to identify best practices on mentoring of URM undergraduate and graduate students by convening a group of exemplary MORE Division program directors and writing a manuscript, in partnership with the University of New Mexico IMSD program.

描述（由申请人提供）：亚利桑那大学 (UA) 寻求继续并扩大综合培训计划的有效实施，以增加进入并成功完成生物医学科学和博士学位的少数族裔学生 (URM) 的数量从事生物医学研究事业。在这笔赠款中，我们建议 1) 增加 16 个参与 UA 博士项目的 URM 研究生入学人数。每年为 12 名学生提供项目，或在资助的 5 年内为 60 名学生提供项目，并确保其中 90% 的学生完成博士学位； 2）扩大UA URM本科生的库，他们有成绩、研究经验、准备和动力进入生物医学博士。每年资助 12 个项目，或在资助的 5 年内资助 60 个项目，预计其中 60% 将直接进入博士学位。完成学士学位后的课程； 3) 增加我们对动机、心理和其他因素的理解，这些因素使我们的IMSD研究生在完成博士学位方面始终保持领先地位，与每个参与项目中未参加IMSD项目的其他研究生相比16 UA 生物医学博士节目； 4) 开发在线模块和播客以帮助URM IMSD Ph.D.与布朗大学合作，学生提高对生物医学科学的理解，学习相关技能并发展教学技能，从而进一步为他们的学术或研究生涯做好准备； 5) 与新墨西哥大学 IMSD 项目合作，召集一组模范 MORE 部门项目主管并撰写手稿，以确定指导 URM 本科生和研究生的最佳实践。
