PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The mission of the IMSD@U2 program is to build a diverse biomedical workforce reflective of our general population. In the past four years (2017-2020), the University of Utah’s commitment to diversity and inclusion has resulted in successful recruitment of Underrepresented (UR) students to the Biosciences PhD programs, so that UR students comprise 32% (49 UR/153 total) of the matriculated students. However, we recognize that these substantial gains in the diversity of our incoming PhD classes over the last four years might fail to produce the longer-term objectives of expanding diversity in the biomedical workforce, without effective, sustained and comprehensive inclusion efforts that fortify scientific career development for UR students. The aims of the IMSD@U2 are to train and launch the careers of diverse, creative, and talented underrepresented (UR) students by 1) continuing to build our successful recruitment program for UR students to our University of Utah Bioscience PhD programs; 2) developing and utilizing innovative programs to retain UR students through our ExCEEDS (Excellence in Career Enhancement, Education, Development and Diversity in Science) framework, thereby launching our UR trainees into successful careers; 3) preparing IMSD@U2 trainees to become confident leaders in biomedical research; and 4) mentoring faculty mentors, thus developing and fostering a research-intensive and inclusive environment in which UR trainees and scientists can flourish. In order to accomplish these goals, key proposed activities that augment the current program include: personalized and cohort mentoring, peer outreach efforts and community building, a dynamic onboarding experience to support a successful start to graduate school, leadership development, faculty mentoring and development to better meet the needs of the UR community. Ultimately, we intend for our trainees to complete their qualifying exams, publish original research, apply for and obtain fellowships, complete their PhDs (70% success rate) with a mean time to degree of 6 years, and advance to high-quality postdoctoral and career positions in science-intensive and science-related careers in academia, industry, and government.

项目摘要 /摘要 IMSD@U2计划的使命是建立一个反映我们一般的潜水员生物医学劳动力 人口。在过去的四年（2017 - 2020年）中，犹他大学对多样性和包容性的承诺 导致成功招募人数不足的学生（UR）学生参加了Biosciences博士课程，因此 您的学生完成了32％（49 UR/153总计）成熟的学生。但是，我们认识到 在过去四年中，我们传入的博士课程的多样性中的这些可观的收益可能无法产生 扩大生物医学劳动力多样性的长期目标，没有有效，持续和 为您的学生加强科学职业发展的全面纳入努力。目的 IMSD@U2将培训并启动潜水员，创造性和才华的人的职业生涯不足的学生（UR）学生 1）继续为犹他大学生物科学建立我们成功的学生招聘计划 博士课程； 2）制定和使用创新计划来保留我们的学生通过我们超越 （在职业增强，教育，发展和科学多样性方面的卓越表现）框架，从而 将我们的学员启动成功职业； 3）准备IMSD@U2学员成为自信的领导者 在生物医学研究中； 4）心理教师导师，从而开发和培养研究密集型 以及您的培训和科学家可以荧光的包容性环境。 为了实现这些目标，增加当前计划的关键建议活动包括： 个性化和队列的心理，同伴推广工作和社区建设，这是一个动态的入职 支持成功开始研究生院，领导力发展，教师指导和 开发以更好地满足您社区的需求。最终，我们打算让我们的培训完成 他们的合格考试，发布原始研究，申请并获得奖学金，完成博士学位（70％ 成功率）平均达到6年的时间，并晋升为高质量的博士后和职业 学术界，工业和政府的科学密集型和科学相关职业的职位。
