PROJECT SUMMARY To address the lack of diversity in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce, the UMB IMSD program aims to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities (URs) in biomedical PhD programs, increase their retention rates, and provide career development to prepare these students for a future career in STEM. UR participation and retention in graduate school is hampered by multiple factors. Institutional environment, the lack of a large cohort, and encountering racial microaggressions are all contributing factors to UR attrition in PhD programs. Further, a lack of strong mentoring connections is also a mitigating factor. To address these issues, the UMB IMSD will provide programming to increase retention and better prepare these students for their future careers. The program will provide workshops on scientific writing and provide opportunities for students to hone their presentation skills. Workshops on stress management, mindfulness, and dealing with microaggressions will also be provided. To strengthen student-mentor relationships, faculty will be provided workshops to educate them on the unique challenges that UR students face and open discussions between faculty and students will be carried out. Trainees will be educated on the various career tracks in the STEM field via a Diversity Seminar series. The IMSD plans to recruit 10 students per year and trainees will be appointed for one year, their first year of graduate school. This program will help students transition to successful careers in the STEM workforce.

项目概要 解决科学、技术、工程和数学领域缺乏多样性的问题 (STEM) 劳动力，UMB IMSD 计划旨在提高 生物医学博士项目中代表性不足的少数群体（UR），提高他们的保留率 率，并提供职业发展，为这些学生未来的职业生涯做好准备 干。 UR 参与和保留研究生院受到多种因素的阻碍 因素。制度环境、缺乏大群体、遇到种族问题 微攻击都是导致 UR 博士项目流失的因素。进一步地，一个 缺乏强有力的指导联系也是一个缓解因素。为了解决这些 问题，UMB IMSD 将提供编程来提高保留率并更好地 为这些学生未来的职业生涯做好准备。该计划将举办研讨会 科学写作，并为学生提供磨练演讲技巧的机会。 关于压力管理、正念和应对微侵犯的研讨会将 也可提供。为了加强学生与导师的关系，将提供教师 举办研讨会，让他们了解 UR 学生面临的独特挑战并开设 教师和学生之间将进行讨论。学员将接受教育 通过多元化研讨会系列了解 STEM 领域的各种职业轨迹。 IMSD 计划每年招收10名学员，实习生任期一年，其 研究生院第一年。该计划将帮助学生过渡到成功 STEM 劳动力中的职业生涯。
