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劳动力对于有效提高知识和创造创新的技术和治疗非常重要。研究专业人员之间的多样性对于减少医疗保健差异至关重要，并将批判性的社会和文化观点置于与通常不足的群体之间的生物医学和行为研究有关的问题。自2008年以来，NC州立大学的最大化学生发展计划（IMSD）计划已得到资助，随着新资金，将继续使用两级方法来增加来自代表性不足的群体的学生人数，这些群体获得了博士学位，并从事生物医学和行为科学的研究。 IMSD计划的目标是：（1）增加参加生物医学或行为科学的URM学生的人才库； （2）增加成功攻读生物医学或行为研究博士学位的URM研究生人数； （3）增加了获得学士学位的URM大学生的数量，并在机构一级获得生物医学或行为科学博士学位的研究生。第一批TIR支持和培训25名本科生，作者：（1）提供课程和研讨会来介绍学生探索生物医学和行为科学的潜在职业； （2）增强我们当前的教育和专业发展活动； （3）扩大对受过指导研究机会的支持； （4）培训和准备学生在生物医学或行为科学领域攻读博士学位。第二层在支持学科中创建了30名研究生研究助理。学生将获得IMSD的两年经济支持，随后的支持来自各自的部门，外部资金或个人研究奖学金。 IMSD研究生将在整个IMSD支持期之外的整个研究生职业中得到协助和指导。与其他现有计划的集成将提供额外的研究生准备和保留活动，以确保博士学位的完成。现有的IMSD学生将担任IMSD支持的学生的导师。此外，本科生和研究生IMSD学生将完成有关负责任的研究的课程和培训模块。严格的评估将系统地评估IMSD的进度，并有助于IMSD的持续改进和制度化。
