DESCRIPTION: This is a proposal for the first competitive renewal for funding of The University of Mississippi's Biomedical Research Internship Program (BRIP) via the NIGMS's Initiative for Minority Student Development (IMSD) program. This IMSD program was designed to strengthen and expand The University's ability to champion the achievements of talented minority students in a new and challenging ways. The University of Mississippi is dedicated to expanding its commitment and support for minorities and women, especially African Americans. Our first four years of participation in the NIH-NIGMS's IMSD program has already begun to contribute to The University's capacity to address the needs of Mississippi and the nation, by tapping into the talents of minority and female students throughout the state and region. The BRIP project has provided them with the educational framework to develop into state, regional and national leaders in the biomedical sciences. The BRIP project is multifaceted program that extends from high school students and their teachers, to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing careers in the biomedical sciences. Our specific aim for the first four year period of IMSD funding was the recruitment of two minority into one of the four basic pharmaceutical science graduate programs at the University of Mississippi's School of Pharmacy (Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics and Pharmacognosy). In each subsequent year of funding an additional two students would be incorporated into the BRIP project. In addition, each year three minority undergraduate students were to be recruited to spend a one-year research internship in the laboratories of a biomedical researcher in the School of Pharmacy. Since our graduate student/advisor ratios (1:3 or smaller) are relatively small, it was predicted that at least 75% of the students entering into the proposed program would graduate and become of members of the biomedical research community. Within this proposal for continuation of IMSD funding, we will describe goals/aims met, lessons learned, and strategies to make this program even more successful. The proposed project decreases the total number of minority graduate student stipend in years 1 and 2 to six stipends per year, increases the number of undergraduate stipends to eight stipends per year, and increases the salary request for a half-time program coordinator.

描述：这是一份首次竞争性续延资金的提案 密西西比大学生物医学研究实习项目 （BRIP）通过NIGMS的少数民族学生发展倡议（IMSD） 程序.该IMSD计划旨在加强和扩大 大学为少数民族优秀学生的成就提供支持的能力 以一种新的和具有挑战性的方式。密西西比大学致力于 扩大对少数群体和妇女的承诺和支持， 非裔美国人我们参与NIH-NIGMS的前四年 IMSD计划已经开始有助于大学的能力， 解决密西西比和国家的需要，通过挖掘人才， 少数民族和女学生在整个国家和地区。BRIP项目 为他们提供了发展成为国家的教育框架， 生物医学科学领域的区域和国家领导人。BRIP项目是 多方面的计划，从高中学生和他们的老师， 本科生和研究生追求的职业生涯在生物医学 以理工科为重我们在IMSD资助的第一个四年期间的具体目标是 招聘两名少数民族人士成为四大基本医药之一 密西西比大学药学院的科学研究生课程 （药物化学，药理学，药剂学和生药学）。在每个 下一年的资助将增加两名学生 加入BRIP项目此外，每年有三名少数民族本科生 学生将被招募到花一年的研究实习， 在药学院的生物医学研究人员的实验室。由于我们 研究生/导师比例（1：3或更小）相对较小， 预计至少有75%的学生进入拟议的计划， 将毕业并成为生物医学研究界的一员。 在继续为IMSD提供资金的建议中，我们将介绍 达到的目标/目的，吸取的教训，以及使该计划更加 成功拟议的项目减少了少数族裔的总数 研究生奖学金在第一年和第二年每年增加到六个奖学金， 本科生奖学金的数量增加到每年8个奖学金， 兼职项目协调员的薪水申请
