DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a broad IMSD Program for Duke University to promote student development and diversity at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. At the undergraduate level, we will provide both academic support and cultural engagement components, including research experiences. Undergraduate IMSD Scholars will experience independent mentored research for at least four semesters and one 10-week summer program, and present their research at the national ABCRMS or SACNAS conference. They will also benefit from additional mentoring, a unique first-year seminar course, and group learning during gateway courses. Graduate IMSD Scholars will participate in Early Start, beginning graduate school a month ahead of time with career development activities, community engagement, and an early start to research rotations. Graduate IMSD Scholars will also benefit from unusually early travel to a scientific conference or workshop/minicourse (e.g. Woods Hole Course) and from additional mentoring from an IMSD-connected faculty member and continued career and community engagement activities (beyond the Early Start). Several program activities are also designed to integrate the Undergraduate and Graduate IMSD Scholars and Duke faculty members into a more cohesive community and to facilitate connections between faculty/students at Duke and those at North Carolina institutions, particularly feeder institutions with a significant underrepresented (UR) undergraduate population. The goals of the Duke IMSD Program are to increase retention of undergraduate UR students in the biomedical/behavior fields, to eliminate achievement gaps between UR and non-UR undergraduates in gateway courses, to double the percentage of UR students in our biomedical/behavioral PhD programs, to create a more robust sense of community for UR students in these programs, and to improve communication with neighboring institutions of higher education.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提出了一个广泛的IMSD计划杜克大学，以促进学生的发展和多样性在本科和研究生水平。在本科阶段，我们将提供学术支持和文化参与组件，包括研究经验。本科IMSD学者将经历至少四个学期和一个为期10周的暑期课程的独立指导研究，并在国家ABCRMS或SACNAS会议上展示他们的研究。他们还将受益于额外的指导，独特的第一年研讨会课程，以及网关课程期间的小组学习。研究生IMSD学者将参加早期启动，提前一个月开始研究生院的职业发展活动，社区参与，并尽早开始研究轮换。研究生IMSD学者还将受益于不寻常的早期旅行到一个科学会议或研讨会/迷你课程（例如伍兹霍尔课程），并从IMSD连接的教师和持续的职业生涯和社区参与活动（超越早期开始）的额外指导。一些计划活动也旨在将本科生和研究生IMSD学者和杜克教师融入一个更具凝聚力的社区，并促进教师/学生之间的联系在杜克和那些在北卡罗来纳州机构，特别是馈线机构与显着的代表性不足（UR）本科生人口。杜克IMSD计划的目标是增加本科UR学生在生物医学/行为领域的保留率，消除UR和非UR本科生在网关课程中的成绩差距，使UR学生在我们的生物医学/行为博士课程中的比例增加一倍，为UR学生在这些课程中创造更强大的社区意识，并改善与邻近高等教育机构的沟通。
