IMSD at Emory University

项目摘要/摘要 这是最大限度地促进学生发展(IMSD)T32应用程序以支持研究生培养的新举措 在埃默里大学。拟议的培训利用了支持已建立的管理信息系统合并的活动 研究生/本科课程，但增加了专注于成功的研究生培训的创新部分 实现培养获得博士学位的多样化科学家队伍的目标，这些科学家拥有成功的技能 过渡到生物医学研究劳动力的职业生涯。埃默里大学的研究生培训机会包括 广泛的生物医学、公共卫生、计算和其他STEM学科。这一广度是实现的 通过在莱尼研究生的许多可能的研究生项目中的一个进行跨学科研究培训 学校(LGS)。跨学科的学术文化和环境以及在STEM方面的广泛专业知识 研究使埃默里成为培养下一代科学领袖的肥沃环境。这个雄心勃勃的人 拟议的T32将在17个研究生项目之一的1年级和2年级培训期间为学生提供支持 这涵盖了生物与科学研究生部的八(8)个跨学科研究生课程。 生物医学(GDBBS)，罗林斯公共卫生学院(RSPH)的六(6)个项目，两(2)个项目 在埃默里艺术与科学学院(ECAS)，以及与埃默里医学院(SOM)合作的一(1)人。 管理学院的活动旨在补充特定于课程的活动，以避免对管理学院的需求增加 T32支持的学生。支持拟议的国际管理学院培训的主要活动是一学分专业人员 发展研讨会，努力建立一个包容的社区，支持科学认同，提供 以技能为基础的学习，以补充以学科为基础的培训，并提供专业发展的途径 和网络机会。IMSD的其他培训活动包括入学前迎新课程和 在T32支助的两年期间，数量和科学写作课程的所需经费，以及 通过与IMSD领导层的年度签到会议和 国际管理学院年度务虚会和研讨会。该计划的创新方面包括一个MPI领导团队， 为学生培训带来不同的技能，同时还提供不同投资的埃默里单位的代表 (ECAs，RSPH，SOM)以及领导力，展示了研究生院在致力于 负责多样性、包容性和社区参与的副院长的努力。一名全职管理学院助理 主任将关键经验，包括STEM博士学位和STEM教育正式培训，带给 领导力。这种结构允许个性化地关注学生的成功和福祉，因为他们 通过研究生培训入学，并规划他们获得博士学位的道路。此外，T32要求每年 对所有教师顾问进行导师培训，以建立一个包容性的研究环境。水池的深度 被录取的有资格参加T32考试的学生，结合培训记录和潜力 进一步加强埃默里内部的影响，为这一拟议的培训方案提供了强有力的理由。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This is a new Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) T32 application to support graduate training at Emory University. The proposed training leverages activities that support an established IMSD combined graduate/undergraduate program but adds innovative components focused on successful graduate training to achieve the goal of developing a diverse pool of scientists earning a PhD, who have the skills to successfully transition into careers in the biomedical research workforce. Graduate training opportunities at Emory include a broad array of biomedical, public health, computational and other STEM disciplines. This breadth is achieved through interdisciplinary research training in one of many possible graduate programs within the Laney Graduate School (LGS). An interdisciplinary academic culture and environment coupled with extensive expertise in STEM research makes Emory a fertile environment for training the next generation of scientific leaders. This ambitious proposed T32 will support students during Year 1 and 2 of training in one of 17-participating graduate programs that span a set of eight (8) interdisciplinary graduate programs in the Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences (GDBBS), six (6) programs in the Rollins School of Public Health (RSPH), two (2) programs in Emory College of Arts and Sciences (ECAS), and one (1) in concert with the Emory School of Medicine (SOM). IMSD activities are designed to complement program-specific activities to avoid increased demand on IMSD T32-supported students. The primary activity supporting the proposed IMSD training is a one-credit Professional Development Seminar, which strives to build an inclusive community that bolsters scientific identity, provides skills-based learning to supplement discipline-based training, and provides access to professional development and networking opportunities. Other IMSD training activities include a pre-enrollment orientation session and requirements for both quantitative and scientific writing courses during the two years of T32 support, with continued engagement throughout graduate training via annual check-in meetings with IMSD leadership and a yearly IMSD retreat and symposium. Innovative aspects of the program include an MPI leadership team that brings distinct skills to student training while also providing representation of the different invested Emory units (ECAS, RSPH, SOM) as well as leadership demonstrating the commitment of the graduate school in dedicated effort from the Associate Dean for Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement. A full-time IMSD Assistant Director brings key experience, including a PhD in STEM and formal training in STEM education, to the leadership. This structure allows individualized attention to the success and wellbeing of students as they matriculate through graduate training and chart their path to the PhD. Furthermore, the T32 mandates annual mentor training for ALL faculty advisors to build an inclusive research environment. The depth of the pool of admitted students who would be eligible for this T32 combined with the track record of training and the potential for further enhanced impact within Emory provides a strong rationale for this proposed training program.
