项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MBRS-IMSD Program at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) started in 1996 as a comprehensive effort to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) undergraduate and graduate students pursuing biomedical research careers. During the last funding cycle (2004-07), the program has increased the rate at which undergraduate participants enter PhD programs following graduation and the number of URM students completing PhD programs at UCI. Independent paid research conducted under the direction of faculty mentors serves as a core element to induce MBRS students to pursue graduate school and research-focused careers. Over 100 faculty with funded research programs serve as preceptors of MBRS trainees. The program offers a series of components to increase the interest, motivation and academic preparedness of undergraduates (freshmen to seniors) to enter PhD programs in biomedical sciences, including a peer tutoring/mentoring program of science classes, a seminar series, workshops on laboratory methods, scientific communications, GRE preparation and application to graduate school. The graduate component of the program is designed to provide a comprehensive training for URM Ph.D. students to excel in graduate school. The program provides summer research training for incoming URM PhD students to prepare them for the core graduate classes, a workshop on extramural funding, counseling and orientation about the graduate studies in a non-departmental setting, a workshop to prepare oral exams after the first year in the PhD program and preparation for advancement to candidacy and dissertation research. Public Health Relevance: The inclusion of underrepresented minorities in the biomedical scientific workforce is critical to address the need of improving the health of the people of the United States and eliminating health disparities in the nation. This project will improve the quality and quantity of undergraduate and graduate students from underrepresented groups being trained as the next generation of biomedical research scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：加利福尼亚大学欧文分校（UCI）的MBRS-IMSD计划始于1996年，是一项全面的努力，旨在增加代表性不足的少数民族（URM）本科生和研究生，从事生物医学研究职业。在上一个融资周期（2004-07）中，该计划提高了本科参与者在毕业后进入博士学位课程的比率，以及在UCI完成博士学位课程的URM学生人数。在教师导师的指导下进行的独立付费研究是诱使MBRS学生从事研究生院和以研究为重点的职业的核心因素。拥有资助的研究计划的100多名教职员工是MBRS培训生的受体。该计划提供了一系列组成部分，以提高本科生（新生到老年人）的兴趣，动机和学术准备，以在生物医学科学领域进入博士学位课程，包括科学课程的同伴辅导/指导课程，研讨会系列，实验室方法的研讨会，实验室方法，科学交流，GRE准备，GRE的准备和应用程序。该计划的研究生组成部分旨在为URM博士提供全面的培训。学生在研究生院表现出色。该计划为即将到来的URM博士学位学生提供夏季研究培训，以为他们为核心研究生课程做好准备，关于非部门环境中有关研究生研究的校外资金，咨询和方向的研讨会，在博士学位课程中准备口试后的讲习班以及为候选人和论证研究的发展准备。公共卫生相关性：将代表性不足的少数民族纳入生物医学科学劳动力方面对于满足改善美国人民健康并消除全国健康差异的需求至关重要。该项目将提高来自代表性不足的小组的本科生和研究生的质量和数量，接受了下一代生物医学研究科学家的培训。
