DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of this program are to: 1) increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students choosing a research career in the biomedical sciences, 2) enhance the quantity and quality of URM students enrolled in the doctoral program in the College of Graduate Studies, 3) prepare them for a successful career in biomedical sciences, 4) provide structured activities that enhance the interaction of minority and majority students and 5) increase the number of URMs in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP). To accomplish these goals a Minority Recruitment Committee will be developed to assist in recruiting URMs. An MUSC "Science Day" will be implemented to expose minority students to the excitement of biomedical science research. Undergraduate science advisors will nominate potential URM Ph.D. applicants who will attend "Science Day" with a parent and the advisor. The SURP will be expanded by five students, designated as E.E. Just Scholars. These SURP participants will interact with minority graduate students via a Big Brother/Sister program. A summer pre-matriculation course to review basic biochemical and molecular concepts will be available for all new students. All students will participate in a "Diversity in Science" course that will foster the interaction of minority and majority students that focuses on issues related to minorities in biomedical science. URM graduate students will serve as Graduate Student Ambassadors to HBCUs and present seminars to undergraduates. Funds will be provided for URM graduate students to present their research at a national meeting. A Mentoring Committee will be developed to 1) monitor and advise URM doctoral students through the graduate training program, 2) assist with career development and 3) organize the content of the "Diversity in Science" course as well as career workshops. Internal and External Advisory Committees will provide oversight for the program. These programmatic elements will increase the number of minority students participating in biomedical science research and prepare them for a successful career.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的目标是：1）增加代表性不足的少数群体（URM）学生的数量选择在生物医学科学领域的研究职业，2）增强在研究生学院中入学的URM学生的数量和质量和质量增加夏季本科研究计划（SERP）的URM数量。为了实现这些目标，将成立一个少数民族招聘委员会来协助招募URM。将实施MUSC的“科学日”，以使少数族裔学生对生物医学科学研究的兴奋。本科科学顾问将提名潜在的URM博士。将与父母和顾问一起参加“科学日”的申请人。表面将由五名学生扩大，被指定为E.E.只有学者。这些超级兄弟/姐妹计划将与少数族裔研究生互动。所有新学生都将获得夏季记录前的审查基本生化和分子概念的课程。所有学生都将参加“科学多样性”课程，该课程将促进少数族裔和多数学生的相互作用，这些学生专注于与生物医学科学中少数群体有关的问题。 URM研究生将担任HBCUS的研究生大使，并向本科生举办研讨会。将为URM研究生提供资金，以便在全国会议上介绍他们的研究。 1）通过研究生培训计划，2）协助职业发展和3）组织“科学多样性”课程以及职业研讨会的内容。内部和外部咨询委员会将为该计划提供监督。这些程序化因素将增加参加生物医学科学研究的少数族裔学生的数量，并为成功的职业做好准备。
