Project Summary / Abstract IMSD at Stony Brook University: Maximizing Excellence in Research for Graduate Education The Stony Brook University Initiative for Maximizing Student Development: Maximizing Excellence in Research for Graduate Education (IMSD MERGE) provides a comprehensive and inclusive academic, research, and professional development training that will increase the number of underrepresented (UR) biomedical science doctoral trainees advancing onto academic and research career paths. This training program provides academic support and professional development opportunities that are specific and customized to the needs of UR trainees. The goal of the IMSD MERGE training program will be carried out through three objectives: 1. Providing incoming UR doctoral students with the academic training and financial support required to ensure that they reach parity in performance outcomes with their well-represented (WR) peers in core courses, qualifying exams and navigation of first- year laboratory rotations. 2. Providing rigorous, inclusive research training and mentoring to prepare trainees to become ethical, independent scientists while fostering their self-efficacy and science identity. 3. Providing trainees with opportunities to develop professional skills to prepare them to secure independent funding and succeed as faculty and researchers at the highest levels of the scientific workforce. These aims will be accomplished through strategic activities carefully designed to support IMSD MERGE trainees’ academic, research, and career success: 1) Funded research opportunities for a steady-state of ten doctoral students. 2) Academic preparation focused on metacognitive skill development and support in gateway courses to ensure UR doctoral students achieve parity in grade performance with their majority peers. 3) Promoting scientific engagement by fostering productive mentoring relationships and opportunities through structured mentor training for trainees and their research advisors. 4) Professional development training focused on the development of advanced writing ability, preparing trainees for successful acquisition of research funding and entry into the academic and research workforce. IMSD MERGE collaborates with biomedical science faculty from eight graduate programs at Stony Brook, addressing critical issues impeding training and career success for UR scientists. Project leadership will identify key junctures in academic development and design interventions and support efforts to improve underrepresented doctoral students’ persistence and performance outcomes. Stony Brook is strongly committed to the objectives of IMSD MERGE, with various units committing additional funding support to expand the population of underrepresented Stony Brook doctoral students benefiting from the activities implemented for this training program.

项目总结/摘要 斯托尼布鲁克大学的IMSD：最大限度地提高研究生的卓越性 教育 斯托尼布鲁克大学学生发展最大化倡议： 研究生教育卓越研究（IMSD MERGE）提供了一个全面的， 包容性的学术，研究和专业发展培训，将增加 代表性不足（UR）的生物医学科学博士生进入 学术和研究职业道路。该培训计划提供学术支持， 专业发展机会，是具体和定制的UR的需求 实习生 IMSD MERGE培训计划的目标将通过三个目标来实现： 1.为即将入学的UR博士生提供学术培训和财务支持。 为确保它们在业绩成果方面与其 在核心课程，资格考试和导航的良好代表（WR）同行- 年实验室轮换。 2.提供严格的、包容性的研究培训和指导，使学员做好准备， 成为有道德的独立科学家，同时培养他们的自我效能感和科学 身份 3.为受训人员提供发展专业技能的机会， 确保独立的资金，并成功地作为教师和研究人员在最高 科学劳动力的水平。 这些目标将通过精心设计的战略活动来实现， MERGE学员的学术，研究和职业成功： 1)资助的研究机会，为一个稳定的状态十名博士生。 2)学术准备侧重于元认知技能的发展和支持， 网关课程，以确保UR博士生实现平等的等级 与大多数同龄人的表现。 3)通过培养富有成效的指导关系促进科学参与 通过对受训人员及其家属进行有组织的导师培训， 研究顾问。 4)专业发展培训侧重于高级开发 写作能力，为学员成功获得研究资助做好准备 以及进入学术和研究队伍的机会。 IMSD MERGE与八个研究生课程的生物医学科学教师合作， 斯托尼布鲁克，解决阻碍乌尔科学家培训和职业成功的关键问题。 项目领导将确定学术发展和设计干预措施的关键节点 并支持努力提高代表性不足的博士生的坚持， 业绩成果。斯托尼布鲁克坚定地致力于IMSD合并的目标， 各单位承诺提供额外的资金支持，以扩大人口 代表性不足的斯托尼布鲁克博士生受益于为 这个训练计划。
