Initiatives to Maximize Student Development in Translational Medicine (IMSDTM) Summary Statement Over the last 20 years many professional organizations have documented that an insufficient number of underrepresented students are being trained in biomedical sciences, including those trained for research in translational medicine (TM) despite the significant increase in job opportunities for well-trained TM scientists. Lack of exposure and training opportunities for historically underrepresented populations (URPs) severely hampers their capacity to fill this national need. The College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVMBS) at Colorado State University (CSU) proposes to create a unique training opportunity for URM Pre-doctorates to earn a PhD or DVM/PhD in TM. CVMBS has a strong history of T32 pre-doctoral training programs as well as T35 summer research experiences for DVM, DVM/MS, and DVM/PhD students interested in TM, but has seen just a moderate increase in URPs entering graduate programs. We seek to enhance our efforts in training and recruiting URPs by leveraging pre-existing training programs; as well as develop new pre- doctorate programs specifically designed to provide URPs with a an inclusive, supportive and comprehensive training environment for research, communication, and career development in TM. The proposed plan provides comprehensive and flexible TM training to facilitate basic biomedical and clinical research. To achieve these goals, five objectives are proposed: (1) Increase the number of PhD students from under-represented backgrounds with interest and aptitude for TM research to enter a mentored training program. (2) Enhance existing programs by building a flexible and rigorous research training program for students in basic and clinical research. (3) Encourage, support and enhance TM training and collaboration through CSU’s new Translational Medicine Institute (4) Facilitate entry into the workforce by providing training in team research, science communication and professional development experiences. (5) Build social and learning networks to provide a supportive and inclusive environment, enabling timely completion of the PhD degree. These frameworks will support our IMSDTM students through individualized counseling, mentoring and advising relationships at multiple levels. Success will be determined by a comprehensive assessment by the CSU Institute for Research in the Social Sciences. We will recruit historically underrepresented students to our IMSDTM training program from CSU’s NSF CO-WY AMP program; Fort Lewis College, a non-Tribal College Native American serving institution; CSU-Pueblo, a Hispanic Serving Institution with well-established undergraduate training program for Hispanic students; CVMBS undergraduates from three Departments of Microbiology, Immunology, Pathology, Biomedical Sciences, Environmental Radiological Health Sciences, and the Cellular & Molecular biology program. This comprehensive training approach will prepare IMSDTM scholars to successfully complete their PhD degrees and enter careers in the multiple discipline areas found in translational medicine The IMSDTM cohort will enhance the experience of all our students by increasing diversity of experiences, thought and perspectives in our graduate programs.

最大限度地提高转化医学学生发展的举措（IMSDTM） 简要说明 在过去20年中，许多专业组织都证明， 学生正在接受生物医学科学的培训，包括那些接受转化医学研究培训的学生。 尽管训练有素的TM科学家的就业机会显著增加。缺乏接触和培训 历史上代表性不足的人口的机会严重阻碍了他们填补这一国家空缺的能力。 需要的科罗拉多州立大学（CSU）的兽医学与生物医学科学学院（CVMBS）建议， 为URM博士预科生创造一个独特的培训机会，以获得TM的博士学位或DVM/博士学位。CVMBS有着悠久的历史 T32博士前培训课程以及DVM，DVM/MS和DVM/PhD的T35夏季研究经验 对TM感兴趣的学生，但进入研究生课程的URP只有适度的增加。我们寻求增强 我们在培训和招聘URP的努力，利用现有的培训计划，以及开发新的预， 博士学位课程专门为URPs提供包容性，支持性和全面的培训 TM的研究，交流和职业发展环境。该计划提供了全面的 和灵活的TM培训，以促进基础生物医学和临床研究。为了实现这些目标，五个目标是 建议：（1）增加来自代表性不足背景的博士生人数，他们对以下方面感兴趣并有能力 TM研究进入一个指导培训计划。(2)通过建立一个灵活而严格的 为基础和临床研究的学生提供研究培训计划。(3)鼓励、支持和加强TM培训， 通过CSU新的转化医学研究所进行合作（4）通过提供 团队研究、科学传播和专业发展经验培训。(5)建立社交和学习 网络提供一个支持性和包容性的环境，使博士学位的及时完成。这些 框架将支持我们的IMSDTM学生通过个性化的咨询，指导和建议的关系， 多层次的成功与否将取决于CSU社会研究所的全面评估。 以理工科为重我们将从CSU的NSF CO-WY招募历史上代表性不足的学生参加我们的IMSDTM培训计划 AMP计划;刘易斯堡学院，一个非部落学院的美洲土著服务机构; CSU普韦布洛，一个西班牙裔服务机构 为西班牙裔学生提供完善的本科生培训计划的机构;来自 微生物学、免疫学、病理学、生物医学科学、环境放射卫生三个系 科学，和细胞与分子生物学计划。这种全面的培训方法将使IMSDTM 学者成功地完成他们的博士学位，并进入翻译中发现的多个学科领域的职业生涯 医学IMSDTM队列将通过增加经验的多样性来增强我们所有学生的经验， 思想和观点在我们的研究生课程。
