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(由申请者提供)：南加州大学国际管理发展学院项目于2006年4月启动。一个成功的策略是利用IMSD的资金为UR生物医学博士项目的第一年的学生提供资金。由于UR申请者不再与非UR和国际申请者竞争，我们能够抓住UR学生的机会，他们在纸面上的资格不如大多数非UR国内申请者。作为这一战略的结果，南加州大学生物医学博士项目的UR学生数量增加了140%。我们预计这一数字将继续增长，因为在过去的两年里，UR学生占IBMSGP总招生人数的21%。今年，获得南加州大学IMSD项目支持的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，还有四篇提交了，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，我们预计将有6到8名UR学生完成他们的博士学位。在持续的资助下，我们预计每年从南加州大学生物医学项目毕业的UR学生人数将至少达到7人，这将对UR学生毕业于美国生物医学博士学位的人数做出重大贡献。 公共卫生相关性：南加州大学IMSD计划将增加在美国获得生物医学科学博士学位的少数族裔学生的数量。少数族裔科学家人数增加的一个结果是，将有一个更加多样化的生物医学研究队伍，他们将处于更好的地位，提供解决健康差距问题所需的见解。
