DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Minnesota Duluth (UM-D) will establish an undergraduate student, Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD) program. The program titled "Pathways to Advanced Degrees in Life Science" (PADLS) will prepare students for admission to research doctoral degree programs. Developmental activities will include workshops in Responsible Conduct in Research, scientific writing, presentation skills, computer modeling, quantitative methods and critical thinking. Trainees will discuss career options in biomedical research and prepare for entry into graduate school through PADLS research forums, offered throughout the academic year. Trainees will gain experience in research laboratories at UM-D during the first summer and during the academic year. The second summer will be a total immersion into a research laboratory; trainees can enter the Life Science Summer Undergraduate Research Program (LSSURP) at the University of Minnesota Minneapolis (UMM) or remain at UM-D for this experience. The PADLS trainees accepted into the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMTC) graduate school will enter the Community of Scholars Program (COSP) prior to entering graduate school. The COSP provides early exposure for entry-level graduate students to the diverse resources available at UMTC. The PADLS program will train eight students per year during a four year period; a minimum of 19 trainees will enter doctoral programs during this period. Public health relevance: The University of Minnesota Duluth (UM-D) will establish an Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD) entitled "Pathway to Advanced Degrees in Life Sciences" (PADLS). The undergraduate students will participate in academic enrichment activities and science research during their junior and senior years at UM-D. The students will be prepared to directly enter into a doctoral biomedical research program after graduation.

描述（由申请人提供）：明尼苏达大学德卢斯分校 (UM-D) 将设立一个本科生“学生多样性最大化倡议”(IMSD) 项目。该项目名为“生命科学高级学位途径”（PADLS），将为学生进入研究型博士学位课程做好准备。发展活动将包括负责任的研究行为、科学写作、演示技巧、计算机建模、定量方法和批判性思维的研讨会。学员将讨论生物医学研究的职业选择，并通过整个学年提供的 PADLS 研究论坛为进入研究生院做好准备。学员将在第一个夏季和学年期间在密西根大学迪尔分校的研究实验室获得经验。第二个夏天将完全沉浸在研究实验室中；学员可以参加明尼苏达大学明尼阿波利斯分校 (UMM) 的生命科学暑期本科生研究计划 (LSSURP) 或留在 UM-D 获得这种体验。被明尼苏达大学双城分校 (UMTC) 研究生院录取的 PADLS 学员将在进入研究生院之前进入学者社区计划 (COSP)。 COSP 让入门级研究生尽早接触 UMTC 提供的各种资源。 PADLS 项目将在四年内每年培训八名学生；在此期间，至少有19名学员将进入博士课程。 公共卫生相关性：明尼苏达大学德卢斯分校 (UM-D) 将制定一项名为“生命科学高级学位之路”(PADLS) 的学生多样性最大化计划 (IMSD)。本科生将在 UM-D 的大三和大四期间参加学术充实活动和科学研究。学生毕业后将准备直接进入生物医学博士研究项目。
