DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Miami's (UM) IMSD program will have three broad impacts: 1) increase the number of underrepresented (UR) students who graduate with a Ph.D. in biomedical/behavioral-related disciplines; 2) reduce differences in Ph.D. completion rates between URs and non-URs in those disciplines while increasing the overall rate; and 3) increase the number of UR Ph.D.s who enter competitive post-doctoral or faculty positions. For IMSD undergraduate scholars, our three goals are to increase their academic competitiveness, stimulate and sustain their interest in research, and increase the numbers who enter Ph.D. programs. A series of emerging scholars workshops in gate-keeper courses will improve academic performance. Exposure to research early in the freshman year in innovative research-based labs, followed by a mix of intramural and extramural research experiences will engender interest in research. Gaining parental support through Family Science Sunday, an intensive two-part workshop on applying to graduate school, and mentoring by IMSD graduate fellows will encourage transition to graduate programs. For IMSD graduate fellows, our two goals are to foster their completion of the Ph.D. in six years and to ensure they are competitive for a post-doctoral or tenure-track faculty position. Close mentoring through bi-weekly meetings with the IMSD leadership team and special workshops for professional development will enable fellows to meet these goals. We actively will recruit undergraduates in all biomedical/behavioral-related majors from UM's Program in Integrated Science and Math, from Miami-Dade County high schools, and from the Miami Dade College-UM Bridge program. We will recruit graduate fellows from among IMSD undergraduate scholars, at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) and the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) conferences, and through faculty from minority-serving institutions assisting as "talent scouts." An Institutional Advisory Committee and an external evaluator will advise the two co-program directors. Formative evaluation will comprise focus groups, questionnaires, and monitoring student progress. Summative evaluation will track graduation rates and numbers proceeding to Ph.D.s or post- doctoral/faculty positions. We will disseminate best practices through presentations, publications, and a webinar using Web 2.0 technology.

描述（由申请人提供）：迈阿密大学（UM）IMSD计划将产生三个广泛的影响：1）增加毕业于博士学位的人数不足的学生人数。在生物医学/行为相关学科中； 2）减少博士学位的差异。在这些学科中，URS和非左右之间的完成率，同时提高总体率； 3）增加进入竞争性博士后或教师职位的UR博士学位的人数。对于IMSD的本科学者来说，我们的三个目标是提高他们的学术竞争力，刺激和维持对研究的兴趣，并增加进入博士学位的人数。程序。一系列新兴的学者讲习班在守门员课程中将提高学习成绩。大一新生初期的研究基于创新的基于研究的实验室，随后是壁内和壁外研究经验的混合，将引起人们对研究的兴趣。通过家庭科学获得父母的支持，周日获得了有关申请研究生院的密集的两部分研讨会，而IMSD研究生研究员的指导将鼓励过渡到研究生课程。对于IMSD的研究生研究员来说，我们的两个目标是促进他们完成博士学位。在六年内，并确保它们具有竞争力后的职业或终身教师职位。每两周与IMSD领导团队举行的每两周一次会议和专业发展的特殊研讨会，将使研究员能够实现这些目标。我们将积极招募UM综合科学和数学计划，迈阿密戴德县高中以及迈阿密Dade College-UM Bridge计划的所有生物医学/行为相关的大满贯。我们将在IMSD本科学者中招募研究生研究员，在年度生物医学研究会议上针对少数群体学生（ABRCMS）以及奇卡诺斯（Chicanos）和美国原住民（SACNAS）会议的促进协会，以及通过少数派服务机构的教师来帮助“人才搜寻”。机构咨询委员会和外部评估员将为两位联合编程董事提供建议。形成性评估将包括焦点小组，问卷调查和监视学生的进步。总结性评估将跟踪毕业率和数量，这些毕业率和博士学位或博士后职位。我们将使用Web 2.0技术通过演示，出版物和网络研讨会来传播最佳实践。
