项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Arizona proposes to implement a comprehensive program that will enhance our ability to increase the number of underrepresented minority students who obtain doctoral degrees in the biomedical sciences. Through the proposed IMSD-funded Initiative for Minority Ph.D.s program, the UA's Graduate College seeks (1) to provide research skills and motivation to enter biomedical Ph.D. programs to 80 underrepresented students (20 in each year of the program plus 5 supported by other universities) attending universities throughout the U.S. including Puerto Rico and Hawaii; (2) to increase the number of UA underrepresented minority graduate students enrolled in Ph.D. programs in thirteen biomedical programs by 44 students in 4 years (10 new students in years 1 and 2 and 12 new students in years 3 and 4), and provide them the financial and academic support to ensure that they complete the Ph.D. in a timely fashion; (3) to test whether addition of a thematic focus that explicitly links laboratory research with health problems disproportionately borne by minority communities increases the motivation of underrepresented students to enter and finish doctoral degrees in biomedical fields, and (4) to identify psychosocial factors that may help predict graduate student success and Ph.D. completion. The program proposes two components: an annual Summer Research Opportunity Program for juniors and seniors attending universities throughout the U.S. including Puerto Rico and Hawaii during the months of June-August, and a graduate component, the Sloan Scholars program, that supports first year student stipends, requires 3-4 laboratory rotations, and provides additional skills training, conference travel, and dissertation supplies support for 44 Ph.D. students in thirteen biomedical graduate programs at UA. Each of the thirteen graduate programs collaborating in this effort has committed four years of financial support to IMP students as well as faculty salaries. The Graduate College has committed tuition waivers, health insurance, and $15,000 per year toward the implementation of an aggressive recruitment plan. Both formative and summative evaluations will be integral parts of the program.

描述（由申请人提供）：亚利桑那大学提议实施一项综合计划，以增强我们增加代表性不足的少数族裔学生人数，这些学生获得了生物医学科学博士学位。通过拟议的IMSD资助的少数族裔博士学位计划，UA的研究生学院寻求（1）提供研究技能和动力，以进入生物医学博士学位。为80名代表性不足的学生提供计划（该计划的每年有20名，以及其他大学支持的5个），包括波多黎各和夏威夷在内的全美大学；（2）增加博士学位的UA代表性不足的少数群体研究生人数。在4年内有44名学生（在第1和第2年和4年级的12年级和12年的新学生中，有44名学生在13个生物医学计划中的课程），并为他们提供财务和学术支持，以确保他们完成博士学位。及时的方式；（3）要测试将实验室研究与健康问题明确联系起来的主题重点是否会增加少数民族社区承担的不成比例，这会增加代表性不足的学生进入生物医学领域的博士学位和完成博士学位的动机，（4）可以识别有助于预测研究生成功和PH.D的心理社会因素。完成。该计划提出了两个组成部分：针对大三和老年人参加美国各地大学的年度夏季研究机会计划，包括波多黎各和夏威夷在6月至8月的几个月中，以及一个研究生组成的Sloan Scholars计划，Sloan Scholars计划，该计划支持一年级的学生津贴，需要3-4个实验室培训，并提供其他技能培训，并提供其他技能培训。 UA的13个生物医学研究生课程的学生。在这项工作中合作的13个研究生课程中的每一个都为IMP学生和教师的薪水提供了四年的财政支持。该研究生学院已承担学费豁免，健康保险和每年15,000美元的实施，以实施积极的招聘计划。形成性评估和总结性评估都将是该计划的组成部分。
