IMSD at UC Davis

项目摘要/摘要 我们提议的加州大学戴维斯分校国际管理发展学院培训计划的首要目标是增加 通过增加完成博士学位的不同学生的数量来培养生物医学研究队伍 生物医学相关科学领域。为此，我们建议实施一项综合干预计划， 有专门针对一年级研究生的严谨的研究和教育活动。我们期待着 我们的浓缩活动将增加生命科学管道的多样性，通过促进成功 加州大学戴维斯分校的博士生将进入生物医学研究的下一阶段。我们建议 每年挑选10名研究生参加这个项目，该项目有四个主要目标。第一个是 增加获得生命科学学科博士学位的多元化学生的数量。与这一目标相一致， 我们预计(A)对任职人数不足(UR)、经济困难和残疾人的接受率 (B)进入目标毕业生组别的学生的比率，不会低於非这些组别的学生； 学员的口头和书面沟通能力将得到提高；(C)学员选择第二和第三期 加州大学戴维斯分校其他T32项目的年度名额将增加，进一步扩大它们的跨学科视野；(D) 学院院士晋身候选人资格的时间和成功率将会提高；及。(五)最少有80% 这些研究员将完成他们的博士学位。我们建议的管理学院院士计划的第二个主要目标是 加强导师与学员的关系。这将通过以下方式实现：(A)执行年度 导师-学员关系讲习班，其中将包括来自成功的高级研究生的建议； (B)实施/利用一年一度的国内发展方案，以提高生产率和清晰度；以及(C)让导师采取 专门的导师培训工作坊。我们的第三个目标是发展外展/沟通和事业 通过(A)在经济上实施与本科生UR的结构化互动，提高IMSD学员的技能 弱势和/或残疾学生，为这些本科生提供相关的榜样；b)辅导 更多高级R25级及T32级研究生入读管理学院学员；及c)发展 通过实施体验式学习机会获得重要的职业技能。第四个目标是利用 方案评估，以不断改进方案，并提供便利的结果传播。 这将通过以下方式完成：(A)在整个培训方案中实施评价；(B)出版我们的 提高其他T32计划有效性的成功和失败；(C)每年重新审查计划计划 纳入计划评估提出的改进建议；以及(D)创建一个出色的管理信息系统网站 面向不同类型的研究生。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overarching goal of our proposed IMSD at UC Davis Training Program is to increase diversity of the biomedical research workforce via increasing the number of diverse students that complete PhDs in biomedical-related science fields. For this, we propose to implement a comprehensive intervention program that has rigorous research & education activities specifically for first-year graduate students. We anticipate that our enrichment activities will increase diversity of the life science pipeline by facilitating successful advancement of UC Davis PhD students to the next step of their biomedical research career. We propose to select 10 graduate students per year to participate in this program, which has four major objectives. The first is to increase the number of diverse students awarded PhDs in life science disciplines. In alignment with this goal, we expect that (a) the rate of acceptance of underrepresented (UR), economically disadvantaged, and disabled students into the target graduate groups will not be less than the rate for students not in those categories; (b) the trainees’ oral and written communication skills will be enhanced; (c) the trainees’ selection for 2nd and 3rd year slots on other UC Davis T32 programs will be increased, further expanding their interdisciplinary vistas; (d) time to and success rate of IMSD Fellows in advancing to candidacy will be enhanced; and (e) at least 80% of the Fellows will complete their PhD. Our second major objective of the proposed IMSD Fellows program is enhancement of the mentor trainee relationship. This will be accomplished by (a) implementing an annual workshop on mentor-trainee relationships which will include advice from successful senior graduate students; (b) implementing/utilizing an annual IDP to improve productivity and clarity; and (c) having mentors take specialized mentor training workshops. Our third objective is to develop outreach/communication and career skills of the IMSD trainees via (a) implementing structured interaction with undergraduate UR, economically disadvantaged and/or disabled students, providing relevant role models for these undergraduates; b) mentoring of entering IMSD trainees by more senior R25 IMSD and IMSD T32 graduate students; and c) development of important career skills by implementing experiential learning opportunities. The fourth objective is to utilize program evaluations to continuously improve the program and provide expedient dissemination of the results. This will be done by (a) implementation of evaluations throughout the Training Program; (b) publishing our success and failures to enhance the effectiveness of other T32 programs;(c) annually revisit the program plan incorporating improvements suggested by program evaluations; and (d) creation of an outstanding IMSD website for diverse graduate students.
