DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Achieving a diverse biomedical and behavioral science research workforce is important to effectively advance knowledge and create innovative technologies and treatments. Diversity among research professionals is crucial to reduce healthcare disparities and to bring critical social and cultural perspectives to bear on issues related to biomedical and behavioral research among groups who are typically underrepresented. NC State University's Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program has been funded since 2008, and with renewed funding will continue to use a two-tier approach to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who receive PhD degrees and engage in research in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The goals of the IMSD Program are to: (1) Increase the talent pool of URM students who enroll in biomedical or behavioral sciences; (2) Increase the number of URM graduate students who successfully pursue and complete doctorates in biomedical or behavioral research; and (3) Increase the number of URM undergraduates achieving a bachelor's degree and graduate students achieving a doctorate in biomedical or behavioral sciences at the institutional level. The first tir supports and trains 25 undergraduate students by: (1) providing courses and seminars to introduce students to explore potential careers in biomedical and behavioral sciences; (2) enhancing our current educational and professional development activities; (3) expanding support for mentored research opportunities; and (4) training and preparing students to pursue a PhD in the biomedical or behavioral sciences. The second tier creates 30 graduate student research assistantships in supported disciplines. Students will receive two years of financial support from IMSD, with subsequent support coming from their respective departments, external funding, or individual research fellowships. IMSD graduate students will be assisted and mentored throughout their entire graduate careers, beyond the IMSD support period. Integration with other existing programs will provide for additional graduate preparation and retention activities to ensure the completion of the PhD. Existing IMSD students will serve as mentors for incoming IMSD-supported students. Additionally, undergraduate and graduate IMSD students will complete courses and training modules on Responsible Conduct of Research. Rigorous evaluation will systematically assess IMSD progress and assist in continuous improvement and institutionalization of IMSD.

描述（由申请人提供）：实现多样化的生物医学和行为科学研究队伍对于有效推进知识和创造创新技术和治疗方法非常重要。研究专业人员的多样性对于减少医疗保健差异以及将批判性的社会和文化观点应用于通常代表性不足的群体中与生物医学和行为研究相关的问题至关重要。北卡罗来纳州立大学的“学生发展最大化倡议”（IMSD）项目自 2008 年起开始资助，在新的资助下，将继续采用两级方法来增加来自代表性不足群体的学生数量，这些学生获得博士学位并从事该领域的研究。生物医学和行为科学。 IMSD项目的目标是：（1）增加URM生物医学或行为科学专业学生的人才库； (2) 增加成功攻读并完成生物医学或行为研究博士学位的URM研究生数量； (3) 增加大学医学院本科生在生物医学或行为科学领域获得学士学位和研究生在机构层面获得博士学位的数量。第一个 tir 通过以下方式支持和培训 25 名本科生：(1) 提供课程和研讨会，引导学生探索生物医学和行为科学领域的潜在职业； (2) 加强我们当前的教育和专业发展活动； (3) 扩大对指导研究机会的支持； (4) 培训和准备学生攻读生物医学或行为科学博士学位。第二层在支持的学科中设立 30 个研究生研究助理奖学金。学生将获得 IMSD 两年的经济支持，随后的支持将来自各自部门、外部资金或个人研究奖学金。在 IMSD 支持期结束后，IMSD 研究生将在整个研究生职业生涯中得到协助和指导。与其他现有项目的整合将提供额外的研究生准备和保留活动，以确保完成博士学位。现有的 IMSD 学生将担任即将入学的 IMSD 支持的学生的导师。此外，IMSD 本科生和研究生将完成负责任的研究行为的课程和培训模块。严格的评估将系统地评估IMSD的进展，并协助IMSD的持续改进和制度化。
