DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The USC IMSD program was initiated in April 2006. One successful strategy was to use IMSD funds to provide funding for UR students in the first year of a Ph.D. program in the biomedical sciences. Since the UR applicants were no longer competing with the non-UR and international applicants, we were able to take a chance on UR students who were not as well qualified on paper as most non-UR domestic applicants. As a result of this strategy, the number of UR students in USC Ph.D. programs in the biomedical sciences has increased by 140%. We expect this number to continue to increase since UR students have been 21% of the IBMSGP total admissions for the past two years. This year, UR students who have been supported by the USC IMSD program have begun to complete their doctoral degrees. The first to graduate has already published four research papers, has four more submitted, and is now a post- doctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins University Medical School. During the next two years, we expect that six to eight additional UR students will complete their Ph.D. degrees. With continued funding, we anticipate that the number of UR students graduating from USC biomedical programs will reach at least seven per year, making a significant contribution the number of the UR students graduating with biomedical science doctorates in the United States. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The USC IMSD program will increase the number of minority students who earn Ph.D. degrees in the biomedical sciences in the U. S. One consequence of this increase in minority scientists will be a more diverse biomedical research workforce that will be in a better position to provide the insights needed to address the problems of health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：南加州大学IMSD项目于2006年4月启动。一个成功的策略是利用IMSD的资金为攻读生物医学博士学位的本科生提供第一年的资助。由于牛津大学的申请者不再与非牛津大学和国际申请者竞争，我们能够抓住机会，录取那些在书面上不像大多数非牛津大学国内申请者那么合格的牛津大学学生。这一策略的结果是，攻读南加州大学生物医学博士课程的UR学生数量增加了140%。我们预计这一数字将继续增加，因为在过去的两年里，UR的学生占IBMSGP总招生人数的21%。今年，在USC IMSD项目支持下的UR学生已经开始完成他们的博士学位。第一个毕业的人已经发表了四篇研究论文，还有四篇提交，现在是约翰霍普金斯大学医学院的博士后研究员。在接下来的两年里，我们预计还会有六到八名学生完成博士学位。在持续的资金支持下，我们预计每年从南加州大学生物医学专业毕业的UR学生人数将达到至少7人，对美国生物医学科学博士毕业的UR学生人数做出重大贡献。
