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.

项目总结/摘要 IMSD@U2计划的使命是建立一个反映我们的一般生物医学劳动力的多元化 人口在过去的四年里（2017-2020年），犹他州的大学致力于多元化和包容性 导致了代表性不足（UR）的学生成功招聘到生物科学博士课程，所以 UR学生占录取学生的32%（49 UR/153总数）。然而，我们认识到， 在过去四年中，我们在博士课程的多样性方面取得的这些实质性进展可能不会产生 扩大生物医学劳动力多样性的长期目标，如果没有有效的，持续的， 全面的包容性努力，加强了UR学生的科学职业发展。的目标 IMSD@U2旨在培养和启动多元化，创造性和有才华的代表性不足（UR）的学生的职业生涯 通过1）继续为我们的犹他州生物科学大学的UR学生建立成功的招聘计划 博士课程; 2）开发和利用创新计划，通过我们的ExCEEDS留住UR学生 （卓越的职业提升，教育，发展和科学多样性）框架，从而 帮助我们的UR学员走向成功的职业生涯; 3）培养IMSD@U2学员成为自信的领导者 在生物医学研究;和4）指导教师导师，从而发展和培养研究密集型 和包容性的环境中，UR学员和科学家可以蓬勃发展。 为了实现这些目标，加强当前方案的主要拟议活动包括： 个性化和群组辅导，同行外联工作和社区建设，动态的入职培训 经验，以支持一个成功的开始研究生院，领导力发展，教师指导和 发展，以更好地满足社区的需求。最终，我们打算让我们的学员完成 他们的资格考试，发表原创研究，申请并获得奖学金，完成博士学位（70%） 成功率），平均学位时间为6年，并晋升为高质量博士后和职业生涯 在学术界，工业界和政府的科学密集型和科学相关的职业职位。
