项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) at Georgia State University (GSU) offers a highly innovative program that will recruit and retain undergraduate students from groups underrepresented in science who will then pursue careers in biomedical sciences. GSU is an ideal institution for an IMSD program as it combines excellence in biomedical and behavioral sciences with a remarkably diverse undergraduate population as well as with GSU's success in training undergraduates from underrepresented minorities. GSU now graduates more African American students than any other non-profit institution of higher learning in the United States. The goal of the proposed IMSD is to combine our existing strengths in biomedical research with the unique success of GSU in educating underrepresented minorities to make it the premier institution in the nation for the education of a highly diverse group of students who will go on to NIH-funded research careers. The objectives of this IMSD program are: (1) to engage high-potential undergraduates from underrepresented groups, recruited from Neuroscience, Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology, in a two-year research immersion and integration program, which includes research during summer as well as academic year activities that will integrate regular coursework with research activities ("research semester"); (2) to promote survival skills for research careers through an intensive series of professional development workshops and courses in which students will hone their skills in critical thinking, scientific communication, research career planning, and ethics; (3) to create a highly supportive academic and social environment to launch graduate careers in biomedical science by providing instructors with skills to train students from underrepresented groups and help them get entry into PhD programs and by fostering connections with other partner T32 and PREP institutions; and (4) to evaluate progress and identify program, mentor, and trainee dispositions that predict success in biomedical research careers, which we will then use to institutionalize successful program elements beyond the grant period at GSU and, by disseminating and publishing the results of our evaluation, at other institutions.

描述（由申请人提供）：佐治亚州立大学 (GSU) 拟议的学生发展最大化计划 (IMSD) 提供了一项高度创新的计划，该计划将招募和留住来自科学领域代表性不足的群体的本科生，然后他们将从事生物医学科学的职业。 GSU 是 IMSD 项目的理想机构，因为它将卓越的生物医学和行为科学与广泛多样化的本科生群体相结合，并且 GSU 在培养来自代表性不足的少数族裔的本科生方面取得了成功，GSU 现在毕业生更多。拟议的 IMSD 的目标是将我们在生物医学研究方面的现有优势与 GSU 在教育代表性不足的少数族裔方面的独特成功相结合，使其成为美国的首屈一指的机构。该项目的目标是：(1) 吸引来自神经科学、生物学、生物科学等领域代表性不足的群体的高潜力本科生。化学和心理学，为期两年的研究沉浸和整合计划，其中包括夏季研究以及整合和学年活动，这些活动将定期进行课程作业和研究活动（“研究学期”）；（2）提高学生的生存技能；通过一系列密集的专业发展研讨会和课程，学生将磨练自己在批判性思维、科学沟通、研究职业规划和道德方面的技能（3）创造一个高度支持的学术和社会环境，以开展研究生职业生涯；通过为教师提供培训技能来促进生物医学科学来自代表性不足群体的学生，并通过促进与其他合作伙伴 T32 和 PREP 机构的联系，帮助他们进入博士项目；(4) 评估进展并确定可预测生物医学研究职业成功的项目、导师和实习生性格；然后，将在 GSU 资助期之外将成功的计划要素制度化，并通过在其他机构传播和出版我们的评估结果。
