项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of the UCSC IMSD Program is to increase the number of underrepresented minority students who receive the PhD in the biomedical sciences and related fields. We intend to do this by focusing on two populations of students. First, we need to increase the number of undergraduate students who pursue and obtain the PhD. Second, we need to continue to expand the numbers of minority students in our own PhD programs. In each of the last two decades our campus has doubled the number of IMSD/MBRS participants that have gone on to complete the PhD. In the upcoming decade we need to continue to increase the rate of PhD achievement. Our major objectives are 1) to produce 70 PhDs in the next decade with a milestone of 28 in the next 4 years. This will be achieved by a combination of our undergrads completing graduate programs at other universities and by the expansion of our own PhD programs. 2) We aim to have 50 students in the PhD pipeline at the end of the next 4 years. 3) We want to increase the number of minority graduate students in the biomedical sciences for our whole campus. Data from the NSF for 2006 showed that 4.7% of all Ph.D.s and 8.8% of degrees to US citizens were awarded to Hispanics, African Americans and Native Americans. With IMSD support we can do much better. For our campus we have set a target of 20 % of degrees to US citizens being awarded to minority students. The major components of our program are: i, an intensive summer training program; ii, immersion of undergraduates in faculty research programs during the academic year; iii, a weekly Research Reports course for all participants; iv, an office and support staff to provide academic guidance, personal counseling, and career advice; v, a "tutoring for excellence" program; and vi, a comprehensive graduate program that both uses and enhances elements of the undergraduate program. Most importantly, we try to build a community of faculty, staff, and students that support each other and share a commitment to significantly increasing the participation of underrepresented minorities in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：UCSC IMSD计划的主要目标是增加在生物医学和相关领域获得博士学位的代表性不足的少数族裔学生的数量。我们打算通过关注两个学生人群来做到这一点。首先，我们需要增加攻读和获得博士学位的本科生的数量。其次，我们需要继续在自己的博士学位课程中扩大少数族裔学生的人数。在过去的二十年中，我们的校园中的每一个都使完成博士学位的IMSD/MBRS参与者的数量增加了一倍。在接下来的十年中，我们需要继续提高博士学位成就的速度。我们的主要目标是1）在未来4年中以28年的里程碑在未来十年中生产70个博士学位。这将通过我们在其他大学完成研究生课程的本科生和扩展我们自己的博士学位课程的结合来实现这一点。 2）我们的目标是在接下来的4年结束时让50名学生进入博士学位。 3）我们希望增加整个校园生物医学科学中少数群体研究生的数量。 2006年NSF的数据显示，美国公民的所有博士学位中有4.7％被授予西班牙裔，非裔美国人和美洲原住民。有了IMSD支持，我们可以做得更好。对于我们的校园，我们将获得少数民族学生授予的美国公民的目标设定为20％的目标。我们计划的主要组成部分是：我是一个密集的夏季培训计划； II，在学年中沉浸在教职研究计划中； iii，为所有参与者提供每周的研究报告课程； iv，办公室和支持人员提供学术指导，个人咨询和职业建议； V，“卓越辅导”计划；和VI，这是一项全面的研究生课程，既使用并增强本科课程的要素。最重要的是，我们试图建立一个互相支持的教职员工和学生社区，并承诺大大增加代表性不足的少数群体从事生物医学研究的参与。
