DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Miami's (UM) IMSD program will have three broad impacts: 1) increase the number of underrepresented (UR) students who graduate with a Ph.D. in biomedical/behavioral-related disciplines; 2) reduce differences in Ph.D. completion rates between URs and non-URs in those disciplines while increasing the overall rate; and 3) increase the number of UR Ph.D.s who enter competitive post-doctoral or faculty positions. For IMSD undergraduate scholars, our three goals are to increase their academic competitiveness, stimulate and sustain their interest in research, and increase the numbers who enter Ph.D. programs. A series of emerging scholars workshops in gate-keeper courses will improve academic performance. Exposure to research early in the freshman year in innovative research-based labs, followed by a mix of intramural and extramural research experiences will engender interest in research. Gaining parental support through Family Science Sunday, an intensive two-part workshop on applying to graduate school, and mentoring by IMSD graduate fellows will encourage transition to graduate programs. For IMSD graduate fellows, our two goals are to foster their completion of the Ph.D. in six years and to ensure they are competitive for a post-doctoral or tenure-track faculty position. Close mentoring through bi-weekly meetings with the IMSD leadership team and special workshops for professional development will enable fellows to meet these goals. We actively will recruit undergraduates in all biomedical/behavioral-related majors from UM's Program in Integrated Science and Math, from Miami-Dade County high schools, and from the Miami Dade College-UM Bridge program. We will recruit graduate fellows from among IMSD undergraduate scholars, at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) and the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) conferences, and through faculty from minority-serving institutions assisting as "talent scouts." An Institutional Advisory Committee and an external evaluator will advise the two co-program directors. Formative evaluation will comprise focus groups, questionnaires, and monitoring student progress. Summative evaluation will track graduation rates and numbers proceeding to Ph.D.s or post- doctoral/faculty positions. We will disseminate best practices through presentations, publications, and a webinar using Web 2.0 technology.

描述（由申请人提供）：迈阿密大学（UM）的IMSD计划将有三个广泛的影响：1）增加代表性不足（UR）的学生谁毕业的博士学位的数量。生物医学/行为学相关学科; 2）减少博士学位的差异。完成率之间的UR和非UR在这些学科，同时提高整体率;和3）增加UR博士谁进入竞争激烈的博士后或教师职位的数量。对于IMSD本科学者，我们的三个目标是提高他们的学术竞争力，激发和维持他们对研究的兴趣，并增加进入博士学位的人数。程序.在守门人课程中举办的一系列新兴学者讲习班将提高学习成绩。在大学一年级的早期，在创新的研究型实验室中接触研究，然后是校内和校外研究经验的混合，这将产生对研究的兴趣。通过家庭科学星期日获得父母的支持，一个关于申请研究生院的密集的两部分研讨会，以及IMSD研究生研究员的指导将鼓励过渡到研究生课程。对于IMSD研究生研究员，我们的两个目标是促进他们完成博士学位。并确保他们在博士后或终身教职职位上具有竞争力。通过与信息管理司领导小组每两周举行一次会议和举办专业发展特别讲习班，提供密切指导，将使研究员能够实现这些目标。我们将积极从UM的综合科学和数学课程，迈阿密戴德县高中和迈阿密戴德学院-UM桥梁课程中招募所有生物医学/行为相关专业的本科生。我们将从IMSD本科学者中招募研究生研究员，在少数民族学生年度生物医学研究会议（ABRCMS）和科学促进奇卡诺人和美洲原住民协会（SACNAS）会议上，并通过少数民族服务机构的教师协助“人才球探”。“一个机构咨询委员会和一名外部评估员将为两名联合方案主任提供咨询。形成性评估将包括焦点小组，问卷调查和监测学生的进步。总结性评估将追踪毕业率和博士或博士后/教师职位的人数。我们将使用Web 2.0技术，通过演示、出版物和网络研讨会传播最佳实践。
