MINORITY STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

少数民族学生发展方案将协助UNC-CH 招收和支持越来越多的学生， 代表性不足的少数群体。UNC-CH MSD的基石 将指导，并将包括多个组件， UNC-CH本科生，研究生，医学和牙科学生。 此外，来自其他学校的本科生将通过一个 夏季研究计划，形成一个管道，以UNC-CH毕业生 课程（以及其他研究生课程）。该计划将 利用UNC-CH强大的研究活动及其 努力加强和促进其毕业生和 专业的学生团体。该计划还将允许少数 医学院和牙科学生花暑假和一整年的时间获得 研究经验，并建立一个基础， 可以建立研究和学术生涯。在稳定状态下，程序 每年将为至少58名学生提供支持（包括MSD 研究生助理）。通过医务司，UNC-CH将 加强和扩大现有的方案，并将制定更多的 计划，以提高研究竞争力的代表性不足 本科生、研究生和医学/牙科的少数民族学生 学校水平，以促进他们在生物医学研究的职业生涯。

The Minority Student Development (MSD) Program will assist UNC-CH in enrolling and supporting increased numbers of students from underrepresented minority groups. The cornerstone of MSD at UNC-CH will be mentoring and will consist of multiple components involving UNC-CH undergraduate, graduate, medical, and dental students. Moreover, undergraduates from other schools will be involved via a summer research program to form a pipeline to UNC-CH graduate programs (and to other graduate programs as well). The program will build on the strengths of UNC-CH's strong research activities and its efforts in enhancing and promoting diversity among its graduate and professional student body. The program will also allow minority medical and dental students to spend summers and a full year gaining research experiences and establishing a foundation upon which they can build research and academic careers. At steady state, the program will provide annual support for at least 58 students (including MSD graduate assistants) across all components. Through MSD, UNC-CH will strengthen and expand current programs, and will develop additional programs to enhance the research competitiveness of underrepresented minority students at the undergraduate, graduate, and medical/dental school level to facilitate their careers in biomedical research.
