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)：科罗拉多大学博尔德分校(UCB)建议实施一项综合努力，以增加进入生物医学科学研究生涯的优秀、代表性不足的少数族裔学生的数量。UCB MBRS IMSD计划的基础将是针对少数族裔本科生和研究生的现有招生、保留和教育计划。这些计划包括为即将入学的少数族裔新生提供的成功的暑期过渡计划、通过HHMI资助的生物科学计划提供的教育和研究机会、为少数族裔本科生准备研究生学习(SMART)的暑期研究实习计划、NSF资助的研究生教育联盟和教授(AGEP)计划，以及领导力联盟的成员资格。UCB MBRS IMSD的努力将以这些项目为基础，通过创建新的研究和学术充实活动，让少数族裔本科生继续攻读研究生，并吸引少数族裔博士生，鼓励他们在毕业后从事生物医学研究事业。 UCB将通过以下措施增加毕业后准备进入研究生院和生物医学研究职业的本科生人数：1)增加对生物医学专业有兴趣的少数民族新生参加现有的UCB暑期桥项目；2)增加成功完成微积分课程的人数，这是生物医学专业学生的必修课；3)为生物医学专业的学生提供更多参与UCB SMART项目的机会；4)通过新的NIH学者计划为UCB本科生提供动手实验室培训、研究经验和丰富活动的机会。在研究生层面，NIH MBRS IMSD的努力将与UCB的NSF AGEP计划保持一致，为即将入学的生物医学领域的少数族裔博士生提供额外的校长教学奖学金和其他支持。UCB还计划通过加入领导力联盟与其他机构建立更多的合作伙伴关系，领导力联盟是一个由研究机构和少数族裔服务机构组成的全国性联盟，旨在增加少数族裔在博士课程和教师职业生涯中的代表性。
