DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Achieving a diverse biomedical and behavioral science research workforce is important to effectively advance knowledge and create innovative technologies and treatments. Diversity among research professionals is crucial to reduce healthcare disparities and to bring critical social and cultural perspectives to bear on issues related to biomedical and behavioral research among groups who are typically underrepresented. NC State University's Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program has been funded since 2008, and with renewed funding will continue to use a two-tier approach to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who receive PhD degrees and engage in research in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The goals of the IMSD Program are to: (1) Increase the talent pool of URM students who enroll in biomedical or behavioral sciences; (2) Increase the number of URM graduate students who successfully pursue and complete doctorates in biomedical or behavioral research; and (3) Increase the number of URM undergraduates achieving a bachelor's degree and graduate students achieving a doctorate in biomedical or behavioral sciences at the institutional level. The first tir supports and trains 25 undergraduate students by: (1) providing courses and seminars to introduce students to explore potential careers in biomedical and behavioral sciences; (2) enhancing our current educational and professional development activities; (3) expanding support for mentored research opportunities; and (4) training and preparing students to pursue a PhD in the biomedical or behavioral sciences. The second tier creates 30 graduate student research assistantships in supported disciplines. Students will receive two years of financial support from IMSD, with subsequent support coming from their respective departments, external funding, or individual research fellowships. IMSD graduate students will be assisted and mentored throughout their entire graduate careers, beyond the IMSD support period. Integration with other existing programs will provide for additional graduate preparation and retention activities to ensure the completion of the PhD. Existing IMSD students will serve as mentors for incoming IMSD-supported students. Additionally, undergraduate and graduate IMSD students will complete courses and training modules on Responsible Conduct of Research. Rigorous evaluation will systematically assess IMSD progress and assist in continuous improvement and institutionalization of IMSD.

描述（由申请人提供）：实现多样化的生物医学和行为科学研究队伍对于有效地推进知识和创造创新技术和治疗非常重要。研究专业人员之间的多样性是至关重要的，以减少医疗保健的差距，并带来关键的社会和文化观点，以承担与生物医学和行为研究的群体谁是典型的代表性不足的问题。北卡罗来纳州立大学的学生发展最大化倡议（IMSD）计划自2008年以来一直得到资助，并与新的资金将继续使用两级方法，以增加来自代表性不足的群体谁获得博士学位，并从事生物医学和行为科学研究的学生人数。IMSD计划的目标是：（1）增加URM学生谁在生物医学或行为科学注册的人才库;（2）增加URM研究生谁成功地追求和完成生物医学或行为研究博士学位的数量;以及（3）增加在大学获得生物医学或行为科学学士学位的本科生和获得生物医学或行为科学博士学位的研究生的人数，体制层面。第一个tir通过以下方式支持和培训25名本科生：（1）提供课程和研讨会，介绍学生探索生物医学和行为科学的潜在职业;（2）加强我们目前的教育和专业发展活动;（3）扩大对指导研究机会的支持;（4）培训和准备学生攻读生物医学或行为科学博士学位。第二层在支持的学科中创建30个研究生研究助理。学生将获得IMSD两年的财政支持，随后的支持来自各自的部门，外部资金或个人研究奖学金。IMSD研究生将在其整个研究生职业生涯中获得协助和指导，超出IMSD支持期。与其他现有计划的整合将提供额外的研究生准备和保留活动，以确保博士学位的完成。现有的IMSD学生将担任即将到来的IMSD支持学生的导师。此外，本科生和研究生IMSD学生将完成课程和培训模块的负责任的研究行为。严格的评价将系统地评估IMSD的进展情况，并协助IMSD的不断改进和制度化。
