Project Summary / Abstract IMSD at Stony Brook University: Maximizing Excellence in Research for Graduate Education The Stony Brook University Initiative for Maximizing Student Development: Maximizing Excellence in Research for Graduate Education (IMSD MERGE) provides a comprehensive and inclusive academic, research, and professional development training that will increase the number of underrepresented (UR) biomedical science doctoral trainees advancing onto academic and research career paths. This training program provides academic support and professional development opportunities that are specific and customized to the needs of UR trainees. The goal of the IMSD MERGE training program will be carried out through three objectives: 1. Providing incoming UR doctoral students with the academic training and financial support required to ensure that they reach parity in performance outcomes with their well-represented (WR) peers in core courses, qualifying exams and navigation of first- year laboratory rotations. 2. Providing rigorous, inclusive research training and mentoring to prepare trainees to become ethical, independent scientists while fostering their self-efficacy and science identity. 3. Providing trainees with opportunities to develop professional skills to prepare them to secure independent funding and succeed as faculty and researchers at the highest levels of the scientific workforce. These aims will be accomplished through strategic activities carefully designed to support IMSD MERGE trainees’ academic, research, and career success: 1) Funded research opportunities for a steady-state of ten doctoral students. 2) Academic preparation focused on metacognitive skill development and support in gateway courses to ensure UR doctoral students achieve parity in grade performance with their majority peers. 3) Promoting scientific engagement by fostering productive mentoring relationships and opportunities through structured mentor training for trainees and their research advisors. 4) Professional development training focused on the development of advanced writing ability, preparing trainees for successful acquisition of research funding and entry into the academic and research workforce. IMSD MERGE collaborates with biomedical science faculty from eight graduate programs at Stony Brook, addressing critical issues impeding training and career success for UR scientists. Project leadership will identify key junctures in academic development and design interventions and support efforts to improve underrepresented doctoral students’ persistence and performance outcomes. Stony Brook is strongly committed to the objectives of IMSD MERGE, with various units committing additional funding support to expand the population of underrepresented Stony Brook doctoral students benefiting from the activities implemented for this training program.

项目概要/摘要 石溪大学 IMSD：最大限度地提高研究生研究的卓越性 教育 石溪大学最大化学生发展计划：最大化 研究生教育卓越研究 (IMSD MERGE) 提供了全面且 包容性的学术、研究和专业发展培训将提高 代表性不足（UR）生物医学科学博士生的数量 该培训计划提供学术支持和研究职业道路。 根据 UR 的需求专门定制的专业发展机会 实习生。 IMSD MERGE 培训计划的目标将通过三个目标来实现： 1. 为即将入学的UR博士生提供学术培训和经济资助 需要支持以确保他们的绩效结果与他们的水平相当 在核心课程、资格考试和第一阶段导航中具有代表性的（WR）同行 年实验室轮换。 2. 提供严格、包容性的研究培训和指导，帮助学员做好准备 成为有道德的、独立的科学家，同时培养他们的自我效能和科学 身份。 3. 为学员提供发展专业技能的机会，为他们做好准备 确保独立资金并作为最高水平的教师和研究人员取得成功 科学劳动力的水平。 这些目标将通过精心设计的支持IMSD的战略活动来实现 MERGE 学员的学术、研究和职业成功： 1) 资助十名博士生的稳定研究机会。 2) 学术准备侧重于元认知技能的发展和支持 确保 UR 博士生获得同等成绩的入门课程 与大多数同行的表现。 3) 通过培养富有成效的指导关系来促进科学参与 以及通过为学员及其他们的结构化导师培训提供的机会 研究顾问。 4) 专注于高级人才发展的专业发展培训 写作能力，为学员成功获得研究经费做好准备 并进入学术和研究队伍。 IMSD MERGE 与来自八个研究生项目的生物医学科学教师合作 石溪分校，解决阻碍UR科学家培训和职业成功的关键问题。 项目领导将确定学术发展和设计干预的关键时刻 支持提高代表性不足的博士生的坚持和努力 石溪坚定致力于实现 IMSD MERGE 的目标， 各单位承诺提供额外资金支持，以扩大人口 石溪分校博士生的代表性不足，他们受益于为 本次培训计划。
