The University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) proposes to develop a new T32 training program that will train predoctoral graduate students from groups that are underrepresented in biomedical research to become successful scientists pursuing careers in the biomedical workforce. Underrepresented (UR) groups include students from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds (underrepresented minorities or URM) as well as students with disabilities. The mission of our training program is to facilitate the transformation of our trainees into independent scientists who are active producers of new biomedical knowledge and are adept at solving the complex problems of disease and illnesses that adversely affect human health. To accomplish this mission, we have established the following six objectives: Objective #1: To increase the participation of UR students in the participating biomedical predoctoral programs from the current level of 16% to 20%, such that our programs reflect the diversity of the state of Missouri’s population. Objective #2: To improve the PhD completion rate of UR students in the participating biomedical predoctoral programs from the current level of 84% to 90%, such that UR students complete their PhD at the same rate as students from well-represented backgrounds. Objective #3: To equip our trainees with the skills to communicate their science, such that 30% of UR trainees in the participating programs are awarded external fellowships during their predoctoral training. Objective #4: To increase the number of publications by our trainees, such that our UR PhD graduates will publish, on average, 2 first-author papers while contributing to, on average, 2 additional publications over the course of their doctoral training. Objective #5: To strengthen the inclusive and supportive nature of our training environment, as well as improve the mentoring skills of our faculty. Objective #6: To develop robust levels of science self-efficacy, science identity, perceived supports, and satisfaction with mentoring relationships among UR trainees, all of which are predictors of academic satisfaction and persistence outcomes among students from UR backgrounds. The IMSD T32 program will implement a wide-ranging set of programmatic activities to achieve the stated Objectives. The programmatic activities, based on best practices for retention of students from UR backgrounds, as described in the literature, will develop the technical, operational and professional skills that will enable our trainees to flourish in their independent scientific careers.

密苏里大学哥伦比亚大学（MU）提出的提案，以制定新的T32培训计划 将培训来自生物医学中代表性不足的小组的培训前研究生 成为成功从事生物医学劳动力职业的成功科学家的研究。 代表性不足（UR）组包括来自潜水员种族和种族背景的学生 （代表性不足的少数民族或URM）以及残疾学生。我们的任务 培训计划是为了促进我们的学员转变为独立科学家 是新生物医学知识的积极生产者，并且擅长解决复合物 疾病和疾病的问题会对人类健康产生不利影响。实现这一目标 任务，我们已经建立了以下六个目标：目标＃1：增加 我们的学生参与参与的生物医学前计划 目前的水平为16％至20％，使我们的计划反映了状态的多样性 密苏里州的人口。目标＃2：提高您的学生的博士学位完成率 参与生物医学典前计划，目前的水平为84％至90％，因此 您的学生以与代表性良好的学生相同的速度完成博士学位 背景。目标＃3：为我们的培训配备传达科学的技能， 因此，参与计划中有30％的您的学员是外部奖学金 在他们的培训前训练期间。目标＃4：增加我们的出版物数量 学员，我们的博士学位毕业生将平均出版2份第一名第一职业论文 在整个博士培训的过程中，平均有2个出版物。 目标＃5：加强我们培训环境的包容性和支持性的性质 以及提高我们教师的心理技能。目标＃6：建立强大的水平 科学自我效能感，科学身份，感知的支持和对心理的满意 您的学员之间的关系，所有这些都是学术满意度的预测指标 来自UR背景的学生的持久成果。 IMSD T32程序将 实施一组广泛的程序化活动，以实现既定目标。 根据保留来自UR背景的学生的最佳实践的程序化活动， 如文献所述，将发展技术，运营和专业技能 这将使我们的学员能够在其独立的科学职业中蓬勃发展。
