 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Chicago (UC) Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) is designed to provide research training and educational opportunities for newly admitted PhD graduate students from groups underrepresented (UR) in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and for non-UR students who would benefit from IMSD opportunities. The Program is tiered to focus intervention and developmental activities to match the background preparation, research experience, and learning styles of individual students as well as their stage of progression in graduate school. Students will join the IMSD in the Summer term at the point of entry to graduate studies, complete an Individual Development Plan (IDP) that will serve as the roadmap for each student's course over their tenure in the University of Chicago IMSD, and participate in a boot camp that will prepare them for the rigors of a UC graduate education. Navigation through rotations and coursework, as well as developing communication and coping skills will be facilitated through Interactive Learning Modules (ILMs) and augmented by peer and faculty mentoring. Support from the Program is provided for years one and two of graduate school. Students will remain members of the IMSD program while advancing to completion of the PhD, benefitting from ILMs designed to hone scientific skills, enhance leadership skills, develop professional and networking skills and explore career options. Although the Program will be highly structured and logically organized, it also will be customizable depending on each student's needs. Concomitantly, faculty will be actively engaged to improve their mentoring skills, while all stakeholders work together toward a more diverse community of scholars. The ultimate success of the IMSD Program will be measured by completion of the students' PhD programs, their long-term success as biomedical scientists, and an increase in the diversity of the biomedical research community over time.

 描述（由申请人提供）：芝加哥大学（UC）学生发展最大化倡议（IMSD）旨在为新入学的博士研究生提供研究培训和教育机会，这些研究生来自生物医学和行为科学领域代表性不足的群体（UR），以及将受益于IMSD机会的非UR学生。该计划分层集中干预和发展活动，以匹配背景准备，研究经验和个别学生的学习风格以及他们在研究生院的发展阶段。学生将在夏季学期加入IMSD，进入研究生学习，完成个人发展计划（IDP），这将作为每个学生在芝加哥IMSD大学任职期间课程的路线图，并参加靴子营地，为他们准备加州大学研究生教育的严格要求。通过轮换和课程导航，以及发展沟通和应对技能将通过互动学习模块（ILM）促进，并通过同行和教师指导增强。该方案为研究生院的一年级和二年级提供支助。学生将继续IMSD计划的成员，同时推进到博士学位的完成，受益于ILM旨在磨练科学技能，提高领导能力，发展专业和网络技能，探索职业选择。虽然该计划将是高度结构化和逻辑组织，它也将根据每个学生的需求定制。与此同时，教师将积极参与，以提高他们的指导技能，而所有利益相关者朝着一个更多样化的学者社区共同努力。IMSD计划的最终成功将通过学生博士课程的完成，他们作为生物医学科学家的长期成功以及随着时间的推移生物医学研究社区的多样性增加来衡量。
