DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Colorado at Boulder (CU-Boulder) proposes the continuation of a comprehensive effort to offer academic and enrichment activities to prepare underrepresented students for graduate school, and to recruit and graduate underrepresented Ph.D. students in biomedical science fields. CU-Boulder will continue its successful NIH/HHMI Scholars program, which was begun in 2003 with initial IMSD funding. This multi-year program allows undergraduate students to engage in research under the guidance of a faculty mentor, learn laboratory techniques and explore scientific ethics, develop the skills required to critically read and integrate research articles, and acquire competence in presenting research results through papers and scientific presentations. The program also provides GRE preparation and workshops on both the application process for graduate school and writing personal statements. CU-Boulder recruits and prepares students for the program by exposing incoming engineering freshmen to bioengineering research through a summer bridge program offered by the Multicultural Engineering Program, and by offering lab experience to early career undergraduates through an IMSD-funded Exploring Research program. CU-Boulder's IMSD effort at the undergraduate level is designed to identify talented students early in their academic careers and keep them in the pipeline for graduate school. The proposed IMSD program will also support 6 doctoral students each year for one to two years each. CU-Boulder targets funding to attract first year doctoral students to CU-Boulder, to move advanced students from teaching to research assistantships, and to provide bridge funding between other external sources when necessary. CU-Boulder's efforts to date have been highly successul. Of the eleven NIH/HHMI Scholars that have graduated with baccalaureate degrees, one is in a Ph.D. program, two are in M.D. programs, and three are in post-baccalaureate programs with plans to apply to Ph.D. or M.D. programs. The one Ph.D. graduate is a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University. Our graduate and undergraduate participants have produced 15 peer-reviewed publications.

描述（由申请人提供）：科罗拉多大学博尔德分校（CU-Boulder）提议继续进行全面的努力，提供学术和丰富活动，为研究生院准备代表性不足的学生，并招募和毕业代表性不足的生物医学科学领域的博士生。科罗拉多大学博尔德分校将继续其成功的NIH/HHMI学者项目，该项目于2003年在IMSD的初始资助下开始。这个为期多年的课程允许本科生在导师的指导下从事研究，学习实验室技术和探索科学伦理，培养批判性阅读和整合研究论文所需的技能，并获得通过论文和科学报告展示研究成果的能力。该项目还提供GRE准备和研究生院申请流程和个人陈述写作的研讨会。科罗拉多大学博尔德分校通过多元文化工程项目提供的夏季桥梁项目，让即将入学的工程新生接触生物工程研究，并通过imsd资助的探索研究项目，为早期职业本科生提供实验室经验，为项目招募和培养学生。加州大学博尔德分校的IMSD在本科阶段的努力旨在发现有才华的学生在他们的学术生涯早期，并保持他们进入研究生院的管道。拟议的IMSD项目还将每年支持6名博士生，每人1至2年。科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的目标资金是吸引一年级博士生到科罗拉多大学博尔德分校，将高级学生从教学转移到研究助理，并在必要时提供其他外部来源之间的桥梁资金。
