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) 增加毕业时获得博士学位的弱势群体 (UR) 学生的数量。生物医学/行为相关学科； 2）减少博士的差异。 UR 和非 UR 在这些学科中的完成率，同时提高总体率； 3) 增加进入竞争性博士后或教职职位的 UR 博士人数。对于IMSD本科学者来说，我们的三个目标是提高他们的学术竞争力、激发和维持他们的研究兴趣以及增加进入博士学位的人数。程序。一系列有关守门人课程的新兴学者研讨会将提高学术成绩。在大一的时候就在创新研究实验室接触研究，然后结合校内和校外的研究经验，将激发人们对研究的兴趣。通过“家庭科学周日”获得家长的支持，这是一个关于申请研究生院的密集两部分研讨会，以及 IMSD 研究生的指导，将鼓励向研究生课程的过渡。对于 IMSD 研究生来说，我们的两个目标是促进他们完成博士学位。六年内并确保他们在博士后或终身教授职位方面具有竞争力。通过与 IMSD 领导团队每两周一次的会议和专业发展特别研讨会的密切指导将使研究员能够实现这些目标。我们将积极从密西根大学的综合科学与数学项目、迈阿密戴德县高中以及迈阿密戴德学院-密西根大学桥梁项目中招收所有生物医学/行为相关专业的本科生。我们将在少数族裔学生年度生物医学研究会议 (ABRCMS) 和奇卡诺人和美洲原住民科学促进会 (SACNAS) 会议上，并通过少数族裔服务机构的教员，从 IMSD 本科生学者中招募研究生研究员作为“星探”。机构咨询委员会和外部评估员将为两位联合项目主任提供建议。形成性评估将包括焦点小组、问卷调查和监控学生的进步。总结性评估将跟踪毕业率和攻读博士学位或博士后/教职职位的人数。我们将通过演示、出版物和使用 Web 2.0 技术的网络研讨会来传播最佳实践。
