DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The USC IMSD program was initiated in April 2006. One successful strategy was to use IMSD funds to provide funding for UR students in the first year of a Ph.D. program in the biomedical sciences. Since the UR applicants were no longer competing with the non-UR and international applicants, we were able to take a chance on UR students who were not as well qualified on paper as most non-UR domestic applicants. As a result of this strategy, the number of UR students in USC Ph.D. programs in the biomedical sciences has increased by 140%. We expect this number to continue to increase since UR students have been 21% of the IBMSGP total admissions for the past two years. This year, UR students who have been supported by the USC IMSD program have begun to complete their doctoral degrees. The first to graduate has already published four research papers, has four more submitted, and is now a post- doctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins University Medical School. During the next two years, we expect that six to eight additional UR students will complete their Ph.D. degrees. With continued funding, we anticipate that the number of UR students graduating from USC biomedical programs will reach at least seven per year, making a significant contribution the number of the UR students graduating with biomedical science doctorates in the United States. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The USC IMSD program will increase the number of minority students who earn Ph.D. degrees in the biomedical sciences in the U. S. One consequence of this increase in minority scientists will be a more diverse biomedical research workforce that will be in a better position to provide the insights needed to address the problems of health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：南加州大学 IMSD 计划于 2006 年 4 月启动。一个成功的策略是使用 IMSD 资金为 UR 学生提供博士第一年的资助。生物医学科学计划。由于 UR 申请者不再与非 UR 和国际申请者竞争，我们能够在纸质成绩不如大多数非 UR 国内申请者的 UR 学生身上抓住机会。由于这一策略，南加州大学博士生的 UR 学生人数生物医学科学项目增加了 140%。我们预计这一数字将继续增加，因为过去两年里 UR 学生占 IBMSGP 招生总数的 21%。今年，得到南加州大学 IMSD 项目支持的 UR 学生已经开始完成博士学位。第一个毕业生已经发表了四篇研究论文，还提交了四篇研究论文，现在是约翰霍普金斯大学医学院的博士后研究员。在接下来的两年中，我们预计还有六到八名 UR 学生将完成博士学位。度。通过持续的资助，我们预计每年从南加州大学生物医学专业毕业的 UR 学生人数将达到至少 7 人，这将为美国获得生物医学科学博士学位的 UR 学生人数做出重大贡献。 公共卫生相关性：南加州大学 IMSD 计划将增加获得博士学位的少数族裔学生数量。少数族裔科学家数量增加的后果之一将是生物医学研究队伍更加多元化，他们将能够更好地提供解决健康差距问题所需的见解。
