DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the last decade the University of Iowa has graduated only 38 underrepresented minority M.S. and Ph.D.s, even though the percentages of minorities graduating with bioscience B.S. degrees are similar to non-minorities. We hypothesize that students are not appropriately prepared and/or informed for entrance into competitive postgraduate degree bioscience programs. To address this, the overall goal of the University of Iowa Initiative for Minority Student Development, the Iowa Biosciences Advantage (IBA) program, is to effectively recruit and retain underrepresented minorities aiming to matriculate into biomedical research training programs leading to Ph.D.s, Ph.D./M.D., D.D.S., Ph.D., or M.P.H./Ph.D.s. The breadth and strength of research programs within the biomedical research community of the University of Iowa provides an enriched setting to expose students early in their undergraduate careers to the myriad of opportunities available in the participating colleges. Our specific aims are: 1) to improve diversity of gifted URM students interested in bioscience graduate careers, over and above state means. We will also recruit from within the University of Iowa, focusing on URM candidates already in research laboratories, 2) assist students in making successful high school-first year transitions by providing entering URM students with diverse program initiatives designed to develop students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes, as well as their personal identity, 3) to expose URM biosciences majors to mentored research to promote interest in bioscience Ph.D. programs. We will foster mentoring relationships between IBA students and successful biomedical research faculty, and 4) to provide professional and leadership opportunities to enhance progression into graduate and leadership positions. To achieve these objectives requires the concerted efforts of IBA staff, the Admissions Office, undergraduate faculty, academic advisors, student support services, and support of the participating colleges and departments.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的十年里，爱荷华大学只有38名少数族裔的硕士和博士毕业，尽管少数族裔获得生物科学学士学位的比例与非少数族裔相似。我们假设学生没有适当的准备和/或被告知进入竞争激烈的研究生学位生物科学课程。为了解决这个问题，爱荷华大学的少数族裔学生发展倡议，即爱荷华生物科学优势（IBA）计划的总体目标是有效地招募和留住那些被忽视的少数族裔，他们的目标是进入生物医学研究培训项目，获得博士学位、博士/医学博士学位， D.D.S, Ph.D.或M.P.H./Ph.D.。爱荷华大学生物医学研究社区的研究项目的广度和实力为学生在本科生涯早期提供了丰富的环境，使他们能够接触到参与学院的无数机会。我们的具体目标是：1)超越国家手段，提高对生物科学研究生事业感兴趣的资优URM学生的多样性。我们还将从爱荷华大学内部招聘，重点关注已经在研究实验室的URM候选人，2)通过为进入URM的学生提供旨在发展学生知识，技能和态度以及个人身份的各种项目倡议，帮助学生成功完成高中一年级的过渡，3)让URM生物科学专业的学生接触指导研究，以提高他们对生物科学博士课程的兴趣。我们将促进IBA学生与成功的生物医学研究教师之间的师徒关系，4)提供专业和领导机会，以促进研究生和领导职位的发展。为了实现这些目标，需要IBA工作人员、招生办公室、本科教师、学术顾问、学生支持服务以及参与学院和部门的支持共同努力。
