DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The IMSD program "Graduate and Undergraduate Training in Biomedicine at ASU" will have a significant impact across the ASU campus. The goal of the program is to increase in the number of underrepresented students, including ethnic minority, financially disadvantaged and disabled students, that earn a Ph.D. and pursue research careers in biomedical/behavioral disciplines. An innovative feature of the program is its emphasis on creating a supportive environment for young scientists through community connections that highlights the relevance of biomedical research to the health challenges facing their communities. We feel this focus will increase the appeal of the program to underrepresented students and also enhance their ability to complete their degree. Our goals will be accomplished through the pursuit of two Specific Aims. In Aim 1 we plan to increase the number of underrepresented undergraduates at ASU who are prepared and motivated to enter graduate studies in biomedical/behavioral sciences. We propose a four-year undergraduate program beginning with entering freshman. In Aim 2 we plan to increase the number of underrepresented graduate students who earn their Ph.D. at ASU and choose to continue in research in biomedical/behavioral sciences. We propose a two-year graduate student program that will focus on entering students. For both Aims we will expand our recruitment efforts both within Arizona and beyond via collaborations with well-respected Mathematics programs for underrepresented students at ASU and partnerships with California State Universities. We will expand research opportunities for students in diseases affecting their communities, for example through the ASU/Mayo Clinic Center for Metabolic and Vascular Biology and the Maricopa Insulin Resistance Initiative. We will provide a supportive environment by mentoring faculty on the challenges faced by underrepresented students, by utilizing peer mentoring and by offering a suite of workshops/seminars covering topics such as science writing, critical thinking, quantitative methods and responsible conduct of research. Overall, our broad training program will: excite a total of 80 graduate and undergraduate students over four years with its connection to health-care issues in their community, facilitate their access to a wide range of faculty mentors and enhance their research experience with structured academic activities. We will employ bi-annual formative evaluations to identify opportunities for program improvement in real time and a summative evaluation to set the stage for training the next generation of underrepresented scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：IMSD计划“ ASU生物医学的研究生和本科培训”将在ASU校园内产生重大影响。该计划的目的是增加代表人数不足的学生人数，包括少数民族，财务不利和残疾学生，这些学生获得了博士学位。并从事生物医学/行为学科的研究职业。该计划的创新特征是它强调通过社区联系为年轻科学家创造一个支持环境，从而突出了生物医学研究与社区面临的健康挑战的相关性。我们认为，这种重点将增加该计划对代表性不足的学生的吸引力，并增强他们完成学位的能力。我们的目标将通过追求两个特定目标来实现。在AIM 1中，我们计划增加ASU的代表性不足的本科生的数量，他们准备进入生物医学/行为科学研究生研究。我们提出了一个四年的本科课程，从进入新生开始。在AIM 2中，我们计划增加获得博士学位的人数不足的研究生人数。在ASU，选择继续研究生物医学/行为科学研究。我们建议一项为期两年的研究生课程，将重点放在进入学生上。对于这两个目标，我们将通过与备受尊敬的数学计划合作，为ASU的代表性不足的学生以及与加利福尼亚州立大学的合作伙伴关系而扩大我们在亚利桑那州和超越的招聘工作。我们将扩大影响其社区疾病的学生的研究机会，例如，通过ASU/Mayo代谢和血管生物学中心以及Maricopa胰岛素抵抗倡议。我们将通过指导教师对代表性不足的学生所面临的挑战，利用同伴指导以及提供一套讲习班/研讨会，涵盖诸如科学写作，批判性思维，定量方法和负责任的研究行为，提供支持环境。总体而言，我们的广泛培训计划将：在四年中，共有80名毕业生和本科生，与社区中的医疗保健问题有关，促进他们进入广泛的教师导师，并通过结构化的学术活动来增强他们的研究经验。我们将采用两年一次的形成性评估来确定实时计划改进的机会，并进行总结性评估，为培训下一代代表性不足的科学家奠定了基础。
