UM'S BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

描述：这是一份首次竞争性续签资金的提案 密西西比大学生物医学研究实习计划 (BRIP)通过NIGMS的少数民族学生发展倡议(IMSD) 程序。这一IMSD项目旨在加强和扩大 高校对少数民族优秀学生成就的支持能力 以一种新的、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，特别是 非裔美国人。我们参加NIH-NIGMS的头四年 IMSD项目已经开始为大学的能力做出贡献 解决密西西比州和国家的需求，通过挖掘 全州和地区的少数民族和女性学生。金砖四国项目 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者。BRIP项目是 从高中生和他们的老师开始的多方面的计划， 致寻求生物医学职业生涯的本科生和研究生 科学。我们在首四年资助的具体目标是 招募两名少数人进入四大基本药物之一 密西西比大学药学院理科研究生课程 (药物化学、药理学、药剂学和生药学)在每一个中 在下一年的资助中，另外两名学生将被纳入公司 投入到BRIP项目中。此外，每年三名少数民族本科生 学生们将被招募到英国进行为期一年的研究实习。 一名生物医学研究人员在药学院的实验室。因为我们的 研究生/导师的比例(1：3或更低)相对较小， 预计至少75%的学生进入拟议的项目 将毕业并成为生物医学研究社区的成员。 在这项建议中，我们会详细说明 达到了目标/目的，吸取了经验教训，并制定了使该计划更加完善的战略 成功。拟议的项目减少了少数民族的总数 研究生一年级和二年级至六年级的津贴，每年增加 本科生津贴的数量增加到每年八份津贴，并增加 半职项目协调员的薪资要求。

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.
