Georgetown University Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD)

项目摘要 乔治敦大学学生发展最大化倡议(IMSD)将汇集61名教职员工 从乔治敦的7个研究生项目和部门培养出一支多样化和 跨学科学者在生物医学科学劳动力中的职业生涯。主要的计划目标是 扩大我们博士生群体的多样性，建立跨学科学者社区，促进职业发展 自我效能感，并在包容性指导中建立实践共同体。每年有六名IMSD学员将 参加该计划，并在第一年和第二年获得支持。第一年将包括他们的基础课程 各自的学科，可以获得跨部门的选修课、队列开发活动和研究 旋转。所有IMSD学员将完成核心生存技能课程，重点是科学严谨、科学 沟通、提案开发和负责任的研究行为。学者们还将完成一项 庆祝不同之处的课程，帮助他们驾驭机构文化，发展领导技能，以及 协同他们的社会文化和科学身份。在第二年，学员将进入论文研究实验室。 并根据他们的个人兴趣和职业发展组建跨学科的导师团队 需要。指导团队的结构也将拓宽学员的科学技能和职业视角 促进跨部门的学术研究。此外，IMSD学者将培养跨行业的专业人才 通过完成项目管理和沟通课程，掌握管理和沟通技能。 学者还将与校园内或异地的行政合作伙伴一起完成体验式沉浸项目 行业或政策部门的合作伙伴。参与的教职员工将完成有效和包容的培训 使用入门指导培训员课程的指导实践，我们之前已经复制过 在乔治城大学。为配合学院的招聘工作，我们会与 哥伦比亚特区大学(UDC)，历史上的黑人学院和大学，提供带薪暑期 为本科生提供指导研究经验，以拓展我们的申请渠道。这条管道的开发 该计划将为未来的学生、IMSD学者、IMSD附属机构建立一个强大的导师网络 (已完成两年直接支持的高级研究生)和教职员工，建立 处于不同专业发展阶段的学者组成的“垂直”社区。此外，我们还将建立 IMSD学员的社区和同龄人责任，以及他们的教师导师，通过 利用同辈力量(POP)圈子同行教练模型框架。国际管理学院流行音乐圈提供参赛者 具有自我维持的结构，以解决问题和解决职业发展问题，与 同伴们。教师导师流行圈子将分享公平的导师实践，并建立一个强大的社区 在跨越部门界限的公平培训中进行实践。

Project Summary The Georgetown University Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) will bring together 61 faculty from 7 graduate programs and departments across Georgetown to develop a cadre of diverse and interdisciplinary scholars for careers in the biomedical scientific workforce. The overarching program goals are to expand diversity of our PhD student population, build a community of interdisciplinary scholars, facilitate career self-efficacy, and establish a community of practice in inclusive mentorship. Each year, six IMSD Trainees will enter the program and be supported for years 1 and 2. Year 1 will consist of foundational coursework in their respective disciplines with access to interdepartmental electives, cohort development activities, and research rotations. All IMSD Trainees will complete a core Survival Skills course that focuses on scientific rigor, science communications, proposal development, and responsible conduct of research. Scholars will also complete a course in Celebrating Difference that helps them navigate institutional cultures, develop leadership skills, and synergize their sociocultural and science identities. During year two, trainees will join thesis research laboratories and form cross-disciplinary mentorship teams tailored to their individualized interests and career development needs. The mentoring team structure will broaden the trainee’s scientific skills and career perspectives, as well as foster cross-departmental scholarship. Additionally, IMSD Scholars will develop cross-sector professional management and communications skills by completing project management and communications curriculum. Scholars will also complete experiential immersion projects with administrative partners on campus or with offsite partners in industry or policy sectors. Participating faculty will complete training in effective and inclusive mentoring practices using the Entering Mentoring Train the Trainer curriculum that we’ve previously replicated at Georgetown University. To integrate our faculty into the IMSD recruitment process, we will partner with the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), a Historically Black College and University, to provide paid summer mentored-research experiences to undergraduates to develop our applicant pipeline. This pipeline development initiative will build a strong mentorship network for prospective students, IMSD Scholars, IMSD Affiliates (advanced graduate students who have completed their 2 years of direct support), and faculty, establishing a ‘vertical’ community of scholars at different stages of their professional development. Furthermore, we will build community and peer accountability among our IMSD Trainees, and in parallel among their faculty mentors, by utilizing a Power of Peers (POP) circle peer-coaching model framework. IMSD POP circles provide participants with a self-sustaining structure to problem solve and address career development issues with a community of peers. Faculty mentor POP Circles will share equitable mentoring practices and build a robust community of practice in equitable training that spans department boundaries.
