项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY A diverse educational and scientific community is a vital component for developing a robust work force that can address the technological and social challenges of the U.S. in a new global economy. However, the access of students from disadvantaged social and economic backgrounds to graduate education (Ph.D. level) is still low in comparison with individuals from more privileged socioeconomic groups. This disparity is amplified during academic life, resulting in a lack of faculty diversity at most U.S. universities. To address this problem, the Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program was established in 2008 at the University of California San Diego (UCSD), which focuses on motivating, mentoring, and facilitating the transition of students from disadvantaged economic and social backgrounds and students with disabilities from college to graduate school. The UCSD-IMSD program is composed of two consecutive phases directed at mentoring students from their initial college education to enrolling into a Ph.D. program in biomedical sciences. Phase 1 is directed at introducing freshmen students with no or limited prior research experience to scientific work via fundamental experimental instruction within the Basic Methodology Training Laboratory (BMTL). In this setting, students learn the essential research principles and skills (laboratory safety, basic techniques, data collection, and analysis) that will prepare them to participate in organized research projects. During Phase 2, students participate in hands-on, bench research projects under the mentorship of established, well-funded investigators, where they develop an appetite for science. Students are trained in several aspects of science, including experimental design, execution, data analysis and presentations, increasing their competitiveness as graduate school candidates. In addition, students are motivated to enroll into Ph.D. programs and are assisted during the process.

项目摘要多元化的教育和科学界是发展强大的劳动力的重要组成部分在新的全球经济中应对美国的技术和社会挑战。但是，访问来自弱势社会和经济背景的学生（博士学位）仍然很低与来自更特权的社会经济群体的个人相比。在此期间，这种差异被放大学术生活，导致大多数美国大学缺乏教师多样性。为了解决这个问题，最大化学生发展计划（IMSD）计划于2008年在大学建立加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥（UCSD），专注于激励，指导和促进过渡来自不利的经济和社会背景的学生以及从大学到大学的残疾学生研究所。 UCSD-IMSD程序由两个连续的阶段组成，旨在指导从最初的大学教育到获得博士学位的学生生物医学科学计划。阶段1 专门针对没有或有限的先前研究经验的新生介绍科学的学生通过基本方法学培训实验室中的基本实验教学进行工作（BMTL）。在这种情况下，学生学习基本的研究原则和技能（实验室安全，基本技术，数据收集和分析）将使他们准备参加有组织的研究项目。在第2阶段，学生参加了动手实践，板凳研究项目的指导成立，资金充足的调查员在那里他们对科学产生了兴趣。学生接受培训科学的几个方面，包括实验设计，执行，数据分析和演示，作为研究生院候选人，他们提高了他们的竞争力。此外，学生有动力参加进入博士学位程序并在此过程中得到协助。
