 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) 学生发展最大化计划 (IMSD) 旨在为来自生物医学和行为科学领域代表性不足群体 (UR) 的新入学博士研究生以及将从 IMSD 机会中受益的非 UR 学生提供研究培训和教育机会。该计划分层侧重于干预和发展活动，以匹配学生个人的背景准备、研究经验和学习风格以及他们在研究生院的升学阶段。学生将在夏季学期进入研究生学习时加入 IMSD，完成个人发展计划 (IDP)，该计划将作为每个学生在芝加哥大学 IMSD 任期内的课程路线图，并参加新兵训练营，为他们接受 UC 研究生教育的严格要求做好准备。互动学习模块（ILM）将促进轮换和课程作业的导航，以及培养沟通和应对技能，并通过同伴和教师指导得到加强。该计划为研究生院第一年和第二年提供支持。学生将仍然是 IMSD 项目的成员，同时继续完成博士学位，受益于旨在磨练科学技能、增强领导技能、发展专业和网络技能以及探索职业选择的 ILM。尽管该计划将具有高度结构化和逻辑性组织，但它也可以根据每个学生的需求进行定制。与此同时，教师将积极参与提高他们的指导技能，而所有利益相关者将共同努力建立一个更加多元化的学者社区。 IMSD 项目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生物医学研究社区的多样性随着时间的推移而增加来衡量。
