Cornell Initiative for Maximizing Student Development

项目摘要/摘要 这是一项在康奈尔大学建立最大化学生发展倡议的新提案 (康奈尔国际管理学院)。这项提案旨在增加代表人数不足的少数族裔学生的数量，以及 康奈尔大学生物和生物医学研究生项目的残疾学生，同时也在准备 他们为成功的未来事业而努力。拟议中的计划将支持10名博士生进入11所大学中的任何一所 康奈尔大学生命科学研究生课程。该项目的优势在于其对指导和 其在康奈尔大学校园的广泛覆盖范围，拥有来自11个研究生项目的60名教师 生物和生物医学科学(生物医学工程、生物化学、细胞和分子生物学、 生物物理学、比较生物医学、免疫学与传染病、药理学、分子与 综合生理学、遗传学基因组学与发育、微生物学、神经生物学与行为学、营养学)， 代表7个系和5个学院。康奈尔大学可持续发展学院有3个可实现和可量化的具体目标： 1)招收10名代表不足的少数族裔/残疾IMSD学生参加11个生物和教育专业研究生课程 康奈尔大学的生物医学科学；2)提供个人定制和IMSD特定的学术、研究和 职业发展活动，为CIMSD学者为成功的研究生涯做准备。3)保留和 指导IMSD学者，使他们中90%的人毕业时拥有博士学位和高质量/有影响力的论文。在……里面 康奈尔大学管理学院将与11个参与的研究生项目合作，通过以下方式实现这些目标： 加强外联活动；利用独特的研究生录取程序；侧重于创造性地利用 个人发展计划(IDP)；加强研究培训机会；国际管理发展学院暑期课程；密集 写作和口头表达技能培训；培养创造力的练习；广泛的学术培训 机会；社会融合；提供全面的机会，以扩大在科学方面的经验 培训；繁重的指导；以及博士后培训的准备。我们的成功基准是 IMSD学者成功地完成了博士课程，发表了具有高影响力/高质量的出版物，并为 在他们选择的职业中，作为领导者的研究生涯，可以是学术或非学术的职业。我们预计 这些活动将导致传统上在生物医学领域代表性不足的学生数量增加 科学和残疾学生从生物和生物医学研究生课程中毕业 康奈尔大学。 PHS 398/2590(09/04版)第2页续格式页

Project Summary / Abstract This is a new proposal to establish an Initiative to Maximize Student Development at Cornell University (Cornell IMSD). This proposal aims to increase the number of both underrepresented minority students, and disabled students, in biological and biomedical science graduate programs at Cornell, while also preparing them for successful future careers. The proposed program will support 10 PhD students enrolled in any of 11 life science graduate programs at Cornell. The strength of the program is its intense focus on mentoring and retention, its broad reach across the Cornell campus, with 60 faculty from 11 graduate programs in the biological and biomedical sciences (Biomedical Engineering, Biochemistry, Cell & Molecular Biology, Biophysics, Comparative Biomedical Sciences, Immunology & Infectious Disease, Pharmacology, Molecular & Integrative Physiology, Genetics Genomics & Development, Microbiology, Neurobiology & Behavior, Nutrition), representing 7 departments and 5 colleges. The Cornell IMSD has 3 achievable and quantifiable specific aims: 1) Recruit 10 underrepresented minority/disabled IMSD students to the 11 graduate programs in biological and biomedical sciences at Cornell; 2) Provide individually tailored and IMSD specific academic, research and career development activities to prepare CIMSD Scholars for successful research careers. 3) Retain and mentor IMSD Scholars so that 90% of them graduate with their PhD and with high quality/impact papers. In collaborating with the 11 participating graduate programs, the Cornell IMSD will accomplish these aims by: enhanced outreach activities; utilizing a unique graduate admission process; focusing on creative use of the Individual Development Plan (IDP); enhanced research training opportunities; IMSD summer courses; intense writing and oral presentation skill training; exercises that foster creativity; broad academic training opportunities; social integration; providing comprehensive opportunities for broadening experiences in scientific training; heavy mentoring; and preparation for postdoctoral training. Our benchmarks for success are that IMSD Scholars successfully complete PhD programs, with high impact/quality publications, and prepared for a career in research as leaders in their chosen careers, be those careers academic or non-academic. We expect that these activities will result in increased numbers of students traditionally underrepresented in biomedical sciences and disabled students graduating from graduate programs in biological and biomedical sciences at Cornell.
