UMB IMSD

项目摘要 为了解决科学、技术、工程和数学领域缺乏多样性的问题， （STEM）劳动力，UMB IMSD计划旨在增加参与 在生物医学博士课程中代表性不足的少数民族（URs），提高他们的保留率 率，并提供职业发展，以准备这些学生未来的职业生涯， 茎UR参与和保留在研究生院受到多重阻碍 因素体制环境，缺乏大的队列，遇到种族歧视， 微攻击都是导致博士课程UR流失的因素。此外，A 缺乏强有力的指导关系也是一个减轻处罚的因素。解决这些 问题，UMB IMSD将提供编程，以提高保留率， 为这些学生未来的职业生涯做好准备。该计划将提供研讨会， 科学写作，并为学生提供机会，磨练他们的表达技巧。 关于压力管理，正念和处理微攻击的研讨会将 也提供。为了加强学生与导师的关系，将提供教师 讲习班，教育他们对UR学生面临的独特挑战和开放 教师和学生将进行讨论。学员将接受教育 通过多样性研讨会系列，了解STEM领域的各种职业轨道。IMSD 计划每年招收10名学生，学员任期一年， 研究生院的第一年该计划将帮助学生过渡到成功 在STEM劳动力中的职业生涯。

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.
