Advancing the Culture of Ph.D. Learning and Scholarship in Biology and Health Science

弘扬生物与健康领域的博士学习与学术文化 理科 项目总结： 我们建议解决全国科学代表性不足(UR)群体短缺的问题，并建设能力 培训和培养这些领域的UR博士。我们将把重点放在代表性不足的少数族裔上： A)增加完成博士学位和从事科学事业的美国学生人数，以及 B)将我们成功的BioMed项目扩展到该大学的所有非BioMed STEM博士项目。 A)我们将加强与BioMed的合作，在那里，IMSD的做法已经引发了积极的催化变化 并通过与类似致力于 扩大STEM参与度。国际管理发展学院帮助增加了BioMed的UR博士生(特别是URM) 数字从~4%到19.6%。这一群体占我们所有URM STEM博士生的66%。在……里面 2014年，作为IMSD的结果，布朗在培养非裔美国人博士学位方面在全国排名第11 生物和生物医学科学。我们将为这些领域的所有其他UR团体争取类似的里程碑。 B)IMSD纳入13个非BioMed STEM博士课程将通过建立一个临界质量的UR来启动 与生物公共卫生领域相关和融合的学科的学生，这些领域将导致在这些领域的职业生涯 菲尔兹。我们将在5年内将这些大学生的数量从目前的~4.2%增加到~15% 好几年了。学员将获得应用数学、化学、认知、语言学和心理科学等方面的支持， 计算机科学，4个工程学博士学位，物理学和4个公共卫生博士学位。 在将Brown BioMed IMSD计划转变为Brown Institution IMSD计划时，我们将建立 布朗被评为全国培养科学家和学者的领先者。我们即将成熟的计划将： 将BioMed的UR研究生人数从IMSD之前的低点~5%增加到25%。 将非生物医学(大学)毕业生人数从目前的约4.2%增加到15%。 最大限度地扩大和支持所有未来的IMSD学生和非IMSD学生(旁观者效应) 将IMSD的做法制度化，以便在Brown和我们的合作机构广泛继承这些做法 布朗国际管理学院的目标将通过实现以下具体目标来实现： 1)通过扩大内部和外部计划，扩大Brown IMSD计划的覆盖范围和影响 伙伴关系，2)加强国际管理发展学院的多方面、个性化的教育和培训计划活动 3)通过改进机构范围的多样性做法，扩大管理学院的机构影响。 在这份提案的正文中，我们提供了背景，以及对布朗大学STEM培训状况的评估 并提供a)一项计划，该计划将使Brown在所有科学领域的UR博士培养方面跻身全国前10名，b) 将布朗提升为常春藤名列前茅，c)使布朗在有吸引力的目的地和包容的严谨 博士培养的环境。机构支持是由布朗承诺支持另外8个 URM STEM博士生对这项提案将支持的14名学生表示赞赏。

ADVANCING THE CULTURE OF PhD LEARNING & SCHOLARSHIP IN BIOLOGY & HEALTH SCIENCES Project Summary: We propose to address the national shortage of underrepresented (UR) groups in science and to build capacity to train and produce UR PhDs in these fields. With emphasis on under-represented minorities (URMs) we will: a) Increase the numbers of U.S. UR students completing PhDs and pursuing science careers, and b) Expand our successful BioMed program to all non-BioMed STEM PhD programs in the university. a) We will strengthen BioMed collaborations where IMSD practices have triggered positive catalytic changes and capitalize on achievements by building new collaborations with institutions similarly committed to broadening STEM participation. IMSD has helped to increase BioMed's UR PhD student (specifically URMs) numbers from ~4% to 19.6%. This population accounts for 66% of all of our URM STEM PhD students. In 2014, as an IMSD outcome, Brown ranked 11th in the nation in producing African-American PhD holders in the biological & biomedical sciences. We will strive for similar milestones for all other UR groups in these fields. b) IMSD's inclusion of 13 non-BioMed STEM PhD programs will be initiated by building a critical mass of UR students in disciplines allied & convergent with the biological public health fields that lead to careers in these fields. We will increase the number of these university students from the current level of ~4.2% to ~15% in 5 years. Trainees will be supported in Applied Math, Chemistry, Cognitive, Linguistics & Psychological Sciences, Computer Science, 4 Engineering PhD programs, Physics and 4 Public Health PhD programs. In transforming the Brown BioMed IMSD Program into the Brown Institutional IMSD Program we will establish Brown as a national leader in producing scientists & scholars. Our maturing program will: ● Increase BioMed's UR graduate student population from our pre-IMSD era low of ~5% to 25%. ● Increase the non-BioMed (university) UR graduate population from its current level of~4.2% to 15%. ● Maximize outreach & support of all future IMSD students and non-IMSD students (the bystander effect) ● Institutionalize IMSD practices so that they are inherited broadly at Brown and at our partner institutions Brown IMSD's objectives will be met by achieving the following specific aims: 1) Expand the reach and impact of the Brown IMSD program through expanded internal and external program partnerships, 2) Build on IMSD's Multi-Faceted, Individualized Educational and Training Programs activities and 3) Broaden IMSD's institutional impact by improving institution-wide diversity practices. In the body of this proposal we provide background, and an assessment of the state of STEM training at Brown and provide a) a plan that will move Brown to the top10 in the nation in producing UR PhDs in all sciences, b) elevate Brown to `first among Ivies' and c) make Brown at attractive destination and inclusive rigorous environment for PhD training. Institutional support is provided by Brown's commitment to support 8 additional URM STEM PhD students to compliment the 14 that will be support by this proposal.
