DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Colorado at Boulder (UCB) proposes to implement a comprehensive effort that will increase the number of high achieving underrepresented minority students entering research careers in the biomedical sciences. The foundation for the UCB MBRS IMSD initiatives will be existing recruitment, retention, and educational programs for minority undergraduate and graduate students. These programs include successful summer bridge programs for incoming minority freshmen, educational and research opportunities through the HHMI funded Biological Sciences Initiative, a summer research internship program that prepares minority undergraduates for graduate school (SMART), a NSF funded Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program, and membership in the Leadership Alliance. The UCB MBRS IMSD effort will build upon these programs by creating new research and academic enrichment activities to keep minority undergraduates in the pipeline for graduate school, and to attract minority PhD students and encourage them to pursue biomedical research careers upon graduation. UCB will increase the numbers of undergraduate students who graduate prepared for graduate school and careers in biomedical research by: 1) Increasing the participation of incoming minority freshmen who express an interest in biomedical science majors in existing UCB summer bridge programs, 2) Increasing the number of underrepresented students who successfully complete Calculus, a requirement for students majoring in biomedical science programs, 3) Offering additional opportunities for biomedical science majors to participate in UCB's SMART program, and 4) Providing minority UCB undergraduate students with hands on laboratory training, research experiences, and enrichment activities through a new NIH Scholars Program. At the graduate level, the NIH MBRS IMSD effort will become aligned with UCB's NSF AGEP program to provide funding and other support for additional Chancellor's Teaching Fellowships for incoming minority doctoral students in biomedical science fields. UCB also plans to establish additional partnerships with other institutions through its membership in the Leadership Alliance, a national consortium of research and minority serving institutions that seeks to increase the representation of minorities in doctoral programs and in faculty careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：位于博尔德的科罗拉多大学（UCB）建议实施一项全面的努力，以增加进入生物医学科学研究职业的高成就代表性不足的少数民族学生的数量。 UCB MBRS IMSD计划的基础将是少数民族本科生和研究生的现有招聘，保留和教育计划。 这些计划包括成功的夏桥计划，为即将到来的少数民族新生，教育和研究机会，通过HHMI资助的生物科学倡议，暑期研究实习计划，为少数民族本科生准备研究生院（SMART），NSF资助的研究生教育联盟和教授（AGEP）计划，以及领导联盟的成员资格。 UCB MBRS IMSD的努力将建立在这些计划的基础上，通过创建新的研究和学术充实活动，以保持少数民族本科生在研究生院的管道，并吸引少数民族博士生，并鼓励他们在毕业后从事生物医学研究事业。 UCB将通过以下方式增加本科生毕业生的数量，为研究生院和生物医学研究职业做好准备：1）增加对现有UCB夏桥课程中的生物医学科学专业感兴趣的少数民族新生的参与，2）增加成功完成微积分的代表性不足的学生人数，这是生物医学科学专业学生的要求，3）为生物医学科学专业的学生提供更多的机会参加UCB的SMART计划，以及4）通过新的NIH学者计划为少数民族UCB本科生提供实验室培训，研究经验和丰富活动。 在研究生阶段，NIH MBRS IMSD的努力将与UCB的NSF AGEP计划保持一致，为生物医学科学领域的少数民族博士生提供额外的校长教学奖学金提供资金和其他支持。UCB还计划通过其在领导联盟，研究和少数民族服务机构的国家联盟，旨在增加少数民族在博士课程和教师职业生涯的代表性的成员与其他机构建立更多的伙伴关系。
