UNT Health Science Center IMSD

项目概要/摘要 北德克萨斯大学健康科学中心致力于培养多样化的生物医学 通过生物医学科学硕士和博士课程的研究生院的科学劳动力。 通过一个协调计划，将K-12（A-School）与本科生（SMART，McNair）联系起来， 研究生（NIH MKITS和NSF K-12研究生/研究员教师计划）生物医学科学培训， 在过去几年中，研究生院的入学率低于20%。然而，在这方面， 这些成就仍然不足以满足发展反映任职人数不足的均等的需要 特别是在德克萨斯州的西班牙裔。具体目标是：目标1：创造可持续的 为代表人数不足的学生提供进入联合国人类住区中心博士研究生课程的途径;目标2： 并加强研究生培训干预措施，以产生基于证据的成果，同时考虑到 影响受训者成功的多种因素;目标3：实施基于能力的学术和研究 目标4：加强指导， 通过发展与培训相一致的指导和辅导基础设施，建立学员关系 多样化的受训者我们的全面计划与合作伙伴机构和过去的网络 成功地招收代表性不足的少数民族进入生物医学科学研究生课程 应提供成功的公式与拟议的UNTHS-IMSD方案。体制 对这些目标的承诺反映在学术事务执行副总裁的参与 以及研究院的院长和副院长。

Project Summary/Abstract The University of North Texas Health Science Center is committed to the training of a diverse biomedical sciences workforce through the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences masters and doctoral programs. Through a Coordinated Plan that links K-12 (Adopt-A-School) to undergraduate (SMART, McNair) and graduate (NIH MKITS and NSF K-12 Graduate/Fellow teacher programs) training in the biomedical sciences, the graduate school has achieved >20% underrepresented enrollment over the past several years. However, such accomplishments are still short of the need to develop parity that is reflective of the underrepresented population, particularly for Hispanics in Texas. The Specific Aims are: Aim 1: To create sustainable pathways for entry of underrepresented students into UNTHSC doctoral graduate programs; Aim 2: Develop and enhance graduate training interventions that produce evidence-based outcomes with the consideration of multiple factors influencing trainee success; Aim 3: To implement competency-based academic and research training driven by an individual development plan of each IMSD trainee; and Aim 4: Strengthen mentor- mentee relationships through the development of a mentoring and coaching infrastructure aligned with training a diverse population of trainees. Our comprehensive program with a network of partner institutions and past success in the recruitment of underrepresented minorities into graduate programs in the biomedical sciences should provide the formula for success with the proposed UNTHS-IMSD program. The institutional commitment to these goals is reflected in the participation of the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research, as well as the Dean and Associate Deans of the graduate school.
