Project Summary/Abstract The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health SA) is one of the nation’s leading Health Universities and is a chief catalyst for San Antonio’s $42 billion bioscience and health care industry, the leading sector of the largest minority (Latino)-majority city in the United States. The institution is committed in all its missions to diversity, inclusive excellence and accessibility. The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences is one of the five component schools and has 21 graduate programs. The flagship doctoral program is the Integrated Biomedical Sciences (IBMS) Program that has strategically progressed from 6 departmental programs, through a transitional umbrella program, and finally to its current state of a truly single, integrated, multidisciplinary program. It is the IBMS program serves as the pool of underrepresented (UR) students that have fed two rounds of the current IMSD R25 and will continue to be the feeder for the new IMSD (T32) program. This proposal builds upon a highly successful intervention program that has resulted in exceptional metrics. These include UR representation increasing from 17% to 39% in the last decade, and parity with non-UR trainees in average publications (5) and retention (96%). Time to degree for UR, while shorter than the national average, remains lagging behind the general IBMS population, likely due to the focus on scientific output. Undergirded by an asset-based theoretical framework of action that integrates Social Cognitive Career Theory and Community Cultural Wealth, our strategies in recruitment, research training, faculty development, and career exploration, will serve to extend our successes and strengthen our contributions to diversity in the biomedical sciences workforce. Enhanced focus and support related to timely translation of progress into written outputs (fellowship applications, manuscripts, dissertation etc.) will shorten the time to degree. By the end of this cycle, we are optimistic we can reach our original goal of graduating a culturally diverse, yet scientifically-uniform, pool of IBMS (including IMSD UR) students all of whom, by virtue of this diversity, empowering training experience, and innovative co-curricular activities, are exceptional in their professional skills and attributes and positioned for career success and leadership in the biomedical sector.

项目概要/摘要 德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥健康科学中心 (UT Health SA) 是美国领先的健康科学中心之一 健康大学，是圣安东尼奥价值 420 亿美元的生物科学和医疗保健行业的主要催化剂， 该机构致力于美国最大的少数族裔（拉丁裔）占多数的城市的主导部门。 生物医学科学研究生院的使命是多元化、包容性卓越和可及性。 五个组成学院之一，拥有 21 个研究生课程。 综合生物医学科学 (IBMS) 计划从 6 个部门战略性进展 计划，通过过渡性伞计划，最终达到目前真正单一、集成、 正是 IBMS 项目充当了代表性不足 (UR) 学生的群体。 已为当前的 IMSD R25 提供了两轮，并将继续为新的 IMSD (T32) 计划提供服务。 该提案建立在一项非常成功的干预计划的基础上，该计划已产生了出色的指标。 其中包括过去十年中 UR 学员比例从 17% 增加到 39%，以及与非 UR 学员的平等 UR 的平均出版物 (5) 和保留时间 (96%)，虽然短于全国平均水平， 仍然落后于一般 IBMS 人群，可能是由于对科学产出的关注。 整合社会认知职业理论和社区的基于资产的行动理论框架 文化财富，我们在招聘、研究培训、师资发展和职业探索方面的策略， 将有助于扩大我们的成功并加强我们对生物医学多样性的贡献 加强与及时将进展转化为书面成果相关的关注和支持（奖学金） 申请、手稿、论文等）将缩短获得学位的时间。 我们乐观地认为，我们能够实现最初的目标，即培养一批文化多元化、科学统一的 IBMS 人才库 （包括 IMSD UR）学生，凭借这种多样性，他们获得了培训经验，并且 创新的课外活动，其专业技能和属性非常出色，适合 职业成功和生物医学领域的领导地位。
