DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Arizona (UA) seeks to continue and expand the effective implementation of a comprehensive training program to increase the number of underrepresented minority students (URMs) who enter and successfully complete doctoral degrees in the biomedical sciences and pursue biomedical research careers. In this grant, we propose 1) to increase the number of URM graduate students enrolled in 16 participating UA Ph.D. programs to 12 students per year or 60 in the 5 years of the grant, and ensure that 90% of them complete the Ph.D.; 2) to enlarge the pool of UA URM undergraduates who have the grades, research experience, preparation and motivation to enter biomedical Ph.D. programs to 12 per year or 60 in the 5 years of the grant, with the expectation that 60% of them will directly enter a Ph.D. program upon completion of the bachelor's degree; 3) to increase our understanding of the motivational, psychological and other factors that allow our IMSD graduate students to consistently maintain a lead in the completion of their Ph.D., compared to other graduate students not in the IMSD program in each of the participating 16 UA biomedical Ph.D. programs; 4) to develop online modules and podcasts to help URM IMSD Ph.D. students improve their understanding of biomedical science, learn allied skills, and develop teaching skills, thus further preparing them for an academic or research career, in partnership with Brown University; 5) to identify best practices on mentoring of URM undergraduate and graduate students by convening a group of exemplary MORE Division program directors and writing a manuscript, in partnership with the University of New Mexico IMSD program.

亚利桑那大学（UA）旨在继续和扩大全面培训计划的有效实施，以增加进入并成功完成生物医学科学博士学位并从事生物医学研究事业的代表性不足的少数民族学生（URM）的数量。在这项补助金中，我们建议1）增加URM研究生在16个参与UA博士学位的人数。计划每年12名学生或60名学生在5年的补助金，并确保他们中的90%完成博士学位; 2)扩大具有进入生物医学博士学位的成绩，研究经验，准备和动机的UA URM本科生的库。计划每年12个或60个在5年的赠款，预计其中60%将直接进入博士学位。3）增加我们对动机，心理和其他因素的理解，使我们的IMSD研究生能够始终保持领先地位，完成博士学位，与其他研究生相比，在参与的16个UA生物医学博士中，项目; 4）开发在线模块和播客，以帮助URM IMSD博士。学生提高他们对生物医学科学的理解，学习相关技能，并发展教学技能，从而进一步为他们的学术或研究生涯做好准备，与布朗大学合作; 5）通过召集一组模范MORE部门项目主任和撰写手稿，与新墨西哥州大学IMSD项目合作，确定URM本科生和研究生指导的最佳实践。
