ABSTRACT The University at Buffalo (UB) continues to work towards increasing the number of PhD students from underrepresented groups in biomedical and behavioral sciences. The IMSD at UB plays an essential role in attracting and supporting students through collaborative learning and integrated mentoring. Since 2012, a total of 39 students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds (46% AA, 44% H/L, 5% NA; 5% Multiple Races; 44% W) enrolled and participated in IMSD professional development activities. To date, 11 graduated and 21 are in training, with a mean time to graduation of 5.3 years (median: 4.8 years). The graduation rate moved from 73% during the initial funding period to an estimated 94% in the current funding period. The IMSD at UB is building upon this success, together with faculty from 18 departments spanning seven UB Schools and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, to continue the transformation of UB into a leading institution for training a diverse workforce. Specific aims are: 1) Attract five PhD students underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral sciences at UB per year increasing diversity by a total of 25 during the 5-year funding period, by using targeted recruiting and holistic review. 2) Provide mentoring, professional development and grant writing training to achieve academic success, secure funding and ensure successful completion of PhD degrees. The program will guide students through their PhD training using Individualized Development Plans to tailor research activities, professional development, mentoring and faculty support. 3) Facilitate access to careers in science and leadership positions to foster successful transition into competitive postdoctoral positions and jobs in academia, industry, government, or other organizations. To foster growth of professional networks, the program developed the Career Pathways Seminar to allow IMSD students to meet and establish relationships with leaders in these institutions where they will potentially complete a research internship to explore future career paths. 4) Create a safe, diverse and inclusive research learning environment adaptive to students’ academic and professional needs. This aim will focus on increasing faculty recruitment and retention efforts. Using established partnerships with the Office of the UB Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence, Unit Diversity Officers, and UB senior administration, the program will expand activities dedicated to holistic review of applications by graduate program directors, admissions committees, administrators and faculty search committees and developing faculty mentoring skills to recruit and retain a student-focused, diverse faculty population at UB. The success of the IMSD at UB will be realized by: a) increasing diversity of applicant pools for graduate students and faculty, b) students’ scientific productivity and entry into the workforce, c) improved student and faculty mentoring and support, and d) building a more inclusive learning environment at UB.

抽象的 布法罗大学（UB）的大学继续致力于增加来自 生物医学和行为科学中代表性不足的群体。 UB的IMSD在 通过协作学习和综合心理吸引和支持学生。自2012年以来，总共 传统上代表性不足的39名学生（46％AA，44％H/L，5％NA； 5％多倍） 种族； 44％W）参加并参加了IMSD专业发展活动。迄今为止，11个毕业 和21岁正在接受培训，平均毕业5。3年（中间：4。8年）。毕业率 在当前资金期间，在初始资金期间从73％转移到估计的94％。 IMSD 在UB取得了成功的基础，以及来自七个UB学校的18个系的教师 还有罗斯威尔公园综合癌症中心，以继续将UB转化为领先的机构 培训潜水员的劳动力。具体目的是：1）吸引五名生物医学中代表性不足的博士学位学生 在5年的资金期间，UB每年以UB的行为科学增加了25个， 通过使用有针对性的招聘和整体审查。 2）提供心理，专业发展和赠款 编写培训以取得学术成功，获得资金并确保成功完成博士学位 学位。该计划将使用个性化的发展计划来指导学生进行博士学位培训 量身定制研究活动，专业发展，心理和教师支持。 3）促进进入 科学和领导职位的职业以促进成功过渡到竞争性博士后 学术界，工业，政府或其他组织的职位和工作。促进专业的增长 该计划的网络开发了职业途径研讨会，以允许IMSD学生见面并建立 与这些机构中的领导人的关系，他们将有可能完成研究实习 探索未来的职业道路。 4）创建一个安全，多样和包容性的研究学习环境适应 学生的学术和专业需求。这个目标将着重于增加教师的招聘和保留 努力。使用与UB副教务长办公室建立合作伙伴关系，以获得卓越的卓越，单位 多样性官员和UB高级管理人员将扩大专门审查的活动 研究生计划主任，招生委员会，管理人员和教师搜索的申请 委员会和发展教师指导技能，以招募和保留以学生为中心的潜水员教师 UB的人口。 IMSD在UB的成功将通过以下方式实现：a）增加适用池的多样性 对于研究生和教职员工，b）学生的科学生产力和进入劳动力，c）有所改善 学生和教师指导和支持，d）在UB建立更具包容性的学习环境。
