PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of this new Initiative to Maximize Student Diversity (IMSD) proposal is to build on an existing IMSD program at Emory University to increase the diversity of the scientific workforce. In spite of many years of increased focus on diversity, the rate of enrollment and graduation of under-represented (UR) students in undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the biological and behavioral sciences is markedly lower that of the general population. Emory University is a highly rated teaching and research institution with over 14,200 students that is located in Atlanta, Georgia. Emory’s record of recruiting, retaining and graduating diverse students is significant. Approximately 15% of each entering graduate class is underrepresented (UR); undergraduate classes are 20%, having doubled since the early 90’s. The biomedical and behavioral science departments at Emory awarded 1,667 BS, 805 MS and 149 PhD degrees to UR students in the most recent fifteen-year period. After receiving only three years of support in 2013, Emory’s Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program has made significant progress towards enhancing the mentoring environment and providing career development and support to undergraduate and graduate students. The long- term goal of the Emory IMSD is to increase the average number of UR students obtaining PhDs in the biomedical sciences by placing at least two-thirds of IMSD Undergraduate Scholars in graduate programs and graduating 90% of IMSD Graduate Fellows and placing them in strong postdoctoral positions. In this new IMSD proposal, we seek to continue our success and further enhance the impact of the Emory IMSD as we develop an inclusive community and a continuum of mentoring and career development programming via three specific aims and a structured plan to transition from the prior leadership to a new leadership team. Aim 1 will continue with efforts to build a learning community of IMSD Undergraduate Scholars. We will increase the number of Emory undergraduate UR students majoring in the biomedical/behavioral/quantitative sciences who receive a Ph.D. in a science-related field to 12 per year. This will more than double our ten-year average that existed when the Emory IMSD program was first proposed (4.8 per year from 2003-2012) and remove all demographic disparity. Aim 2 will enhance and build a learning community of IMSD Graduate Fellows. Through these efforts, we will recruit 40 additional UR PhD students over five years, with over 90% completing the PhD. Finally, Aim 3 will provide formal training in mentoring for both faculty and graduate students in the Emory community and the greater Atlanta area by continuing efforts to develop a community of mentors, the Atlanta Society of Mentors (ASOM), with transferable skills applicable at all levels and adept in issues of diversity. These aims will have significant impact by building on our prior success with creating an inclusive and integrated community of undergraduate scholars, graduate fellows and program faculty that enhances the culture of learning at Emory University and increases diversity within the scientific workforce.

项目摘要 这个新的倡议，以最大限度地提高学生多样性（IMSD）的建议的目标是建立在现有的IMSD 埃默里大学的一项计划，以增加科学劳动力的多样性。尽管多年来 更加注重多样性，入学率和代表性不足（UR）学生的毕业率， 生物和行为科学的本科和研究生学位课程明显低于 普通大众的。埃默里大学是一个高度评价的教学和研究机构，拥有超过14，200名 位于格鲁吉亚亚特兰大的学生。埃默里大学在招聘、留住和毕业方面的记录 学生是重要的。每一个进入研究生班的学生中大约有15%的人代表性不足（乌拉圭）; 本科班占20%，自90年代初以来翻了一番。生物医学和行为科学 埃默里大学的各系在最近的一年里向UR学生颁发了1,667个学士学位、805个硕士学位和149个博士学位 十五年的时间。在2013年仅获得三年的支持后，埃默里大学的最大化计划 学生发展（IMSD）计划在加强指导方面取得了重大进展 环境和提供职业发展和支持本科生和研究生。很长的- 埃默里IMSD的长期目标是增加UR学生获得生物医学博士学位的平均人数 通过将至少三分之二的IMSD本科学者放在研究生课程和毕业 90%的IMSD研究生研究员，并把他们放在强大的博士后职位。在这个新的IMSD提案中， 我们寻求继续我们的成功，并进一步提高埃默里IMSD的影响，因为我们制定了一个包容性的 通过三个具体目标， 以及从前任领导过渡到新领导团队的结构化计划。目标1将继续 努力建立IMSD本科学者的学习社区。我们将增加埃默里大学的人数 本科UR学生主修生物医学/行为/定量科学谁获得博士学位。在 科学相关的领域每年增加到12个。这将是十年平均水平的两倍多， 埃默里IMSD计划首次提出（从2003年至2012年每年4.8），并消除所有人口差异。 目标2将加强和建立一个由IMSD研究生研究员组成的学习社区。通过这些努力， 在五年内招收40名额外的UR博士生，超过90%的人完成博士学位。最后，Aim 3将 为埃默里社区的教师和研究生提供正式的指导培训， 通过继续努力发展一个导师社区，亚特兰大导师协会， （ASOM），具有适用于各级的可转移技能，并擅长处理多样性问题。这些目标将 通过建立我们先前的成功，创造一个包容和一体化的社区， 本科生学者，研究生研究员和项目教师，增强了埃默里大学的学习文化 大学和增加科学劳动力的多样性。
