描述(摘自申请)：维护21世纪的公共健康 需要解决当前和新出现的地方、国家、 和国际水平。美国国家卫生研究院已经认识到，应对这一挑战 要求建立一个更具种族多样性的生物医学研究社区。洛玛·琳达 加州大学(LLU)是南加州的一家私立健康科学机构， 致力于学生和教师的多样性。一支外筹资金的干部队伍 研究生院/医学院的少数族裔和非少数族裔教员 通过NIGMS PAR-O0-022寻求支持，以建立全面的LSU-NIH 少数民族学生发展计划(MSDP)。该程序将完成 增加代表不足的少数族裔学生人数所需的渠道 在路易斯安那州立大学的生物医学研究项目。 具体目标一是增加少数民族本科生数量 有生物医学研究的职业目标和录取竞争力 博士或医学博士/博士课程。通过本科生研究学者 计划(URSP)，高年级的大学生将学习到他们可以扮演一个 在解决明天的医疗问题上发挥重要的领导作用。要么是 暑期研究项目或暑期/高年级研究项目-与他们的 技能培养和职业发展模块--将帮助参与者竞争 才能进入这些项目。 具体目标2是增加少数族裔研究生的数量 在路易斯安那州立大学获得生物医学博士学位。通过五年的时间 研究生少数民族发展计划(GMDP)，学生将获得学术成就 成就和研究成就。技能建设的进步 模块将增强基本的沟通技能，这将转化为 有效的科学沟通、教学和职业发展技能。 具体目标3是增加少数民族医学生的数量 在LLU接受生物医学研究培训。医学部的少数民族学生 科学家培训计划(MSTP)将在#年参加GMDP活动 他们医学博士/博士训练中的博士部分。少数族裔医学生将 通过医学生研究参与暑期研究项目 计划(MSRP)。 将这些项目整合到少数民族学生发展办公室 (OMSD)将提高成本效益，促进计划评估，以及 提供协同效应带来的其他好处。所有学生都参加了每月的 MSDP研讨会和年度MSDP研究研讨会将有助于建立支持 系统，鼓励学生对学生的指导，并展示未来的博士和医学博士。 研究人员了解合作中的机会和好处。

DESCRIPTION (From Application): Maintaining public health in the 21st Century requires solving current and emerging medical problems at the local, national, and international level. The NIH has recognized that meeting this challenge demands a more ethnically diverse biomedical research community. Loma Linda University (LLU), a private health sciences institution in Southern California, is committed to student and faculty diversity. A cadre of extramurally-funded minority and non-minority faculty in the Graduate School/School of Medicine seeks support through NIGMS PAR-O0-022 to establish a comprehensive LSU-NIH Minority Student Development Program (MSDP). This program will complete the pipeline necessary to increase the number of underrepresented minority students in biomedical research programs at LLU. Specific Aim 1 is to increase the number of minority undergraduate students with a biomedical research career goal and their competitiveness for admission to Ph.D. or M.D/Ph.D. programs. Through the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program (URSP), senior college students will learn that they can play an important leadership role in solving tomorrow's medical problems. Either the Summer Research Project or the Summer/Senior Year Research Project - with their skill-building and career development modules -- will help participants compete for admission to these programs. Specific Aim 2 is to increase the number of minority graduate students who receive their Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences at LLU. Through the five-year Graduate Minority Development Program (GMDP), students will attain academic achievement and research accomplishment. A progression of skill-building modules will enhance basic communication skills, which will be translated into effective scientific communication, teaching, and career development skills. Specific Aim 3 is to increase the number of minority medical students who receive biomedical research training at LLU. Minority students in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) will participate in GMDP activities during the Ph.D. portion of their M.D./Ph.D. training. Minority medical students will participate in summer research projects through the Medical Student Research Program (MSRP). Integration of these programs within an Office of Minority Student Development (OMSD) will increase cost-effectiveness, facilitate program evaluation, and offer other benefits from synergy. Participation of all students in the monthly MSDP Seminar and Annual MSDP Research Symposium will help build a support system, encourage student-to-student mentoring, and show future Ph.D. and M.D. researchers the opportunities and benefits in collaboration.
