University of Chicago Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) - Renewal 01

项目摘要 芝加哥大学（U芝加哥）学生发展最大化倡议（IMSD）旨在 为新入学的博士研究生提供研究培训和教育机会 在生物医学和行为科学领域代表性不足（UR）的学生，以及将受益的非UR学生 IMSD的机会。该计划是分层的，重点是干预和发展活动，以配合 背景准备，研究经验，个别学生的学习风格以及他们的阶段 在研究生院的进步。学生加入IMSD在夏季学期在入境点毕业 学习，完成个人发展计划（IDP），将作为每个学生的路线图 课程在芝加哥大学IMSD的任期内，并参加“靴子营”，这将有助于他们融入 进入研究生课程，并为他们准备UChicago研究生教育的严格。导航 通过轮换和课程，以及发展沟通和应对技能， 通过互动学习模块（ILM），并通过同行和教师指导增强。的支持 该计划是为研究生院的第一年和第二年提供的。学生将继续成为IMSD的成员 计划，同时推进到博士学位的完成，受益于ILM旨在磨练科学技能， 提高领导技能，发展专业和网络技能，探索职业选择。虽然 程序将高度结构化和逻辑组织，它也将根据每个可定制 学生的需要。与此同时，教师将积极参与，以提高他们的指导技能，而所有 利益相关者共同努力，建立一个更加多样化的学者社区。IMSD的最终成功 该计划将通过学生的博士课程的完成来衡量，他们的长期成功， 随着时间的推移，生物医学研究界的多样性也在增加。

PROJECT SUMMARY The University of Chicago (UChicago) Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) is designed to provide research training and educational opportunities for newly admitted PhD graduate students from groups underrepresented (UR) in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and for non-UR students who would benefit from IMSD opportunities. The Program is tiered to focus intervention and developmental activities to match the background preparation, research experience, and learning styles of individual students as well as their stage of progression in graduate school. Students join the IMSD in the Summer term at the point of entry to graduate studies, complete an Individual Development Plan (IDP) that will serve as the roadmap for each student's course over their tenure in the UChicago IMSD, and participate in a “boot camp” that will help integrate them into the Graduate Programs and prepare them for the rigors of a UChicago graduate education. Navigation through rotations and coursework, as well as developing communication and coping skills will be facilitated through Interactive Learning Modules (ILMs) and augmented by peer and faculty mentoring. Support from the Program is provided for years one and two of graduate school. Students will remain members of the IMSD program while advancing to completion of the PhD, benefitting from ILMs designed to hone scientific skills, enhance leadership skills, develop professional and networking skills and explore career options. Although the Program will be highly structured and logically organized, it also will be customizable depending on each student's needs. Concomitantly, faculty will be actively engaged to improve their mentoring skills, while all stakeholders work together toward a more diverse community of scholars. The ultimate success of the IMSD Program will be measured by completion of the students' PhD programs, their long-term success as biomedical scientists, and an increase in the diversity of the biomedical research community over time.
