PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The mission of the IMSD@U2 program is to build a diverse biomedical workforce reflective of our general population. In the past four years (2017-2020), the University of Utah’s commitment to diversity and inclusion has resulted in successful recruitment of Underrepresented (UR) students to the Biosciences PhD programs, so that UR students comprise 32% (49 UR/153 total) of the matriculated students. However, we recognize that these substantial gains in the diversity of our incoming PhD classes over the last four years might fail to produce the longer-term objectives of expanding diversity in the biomedical workforce, without effective, sustained and comprehensive inclusion efforts that fortify scientific career development for UR students. The aims of the IMSD@U2 are to train and launch the careers of diverse, creative, and talented underrepresented (UR) students by 1) continuing to build our successful recruitment program for UR students to our University of Utah Bioscience PhD programs; 2) developing and utilizing innovative programs to retain UR students through our ExCEEDS (Excellence in Career Enhancement, Education, Development and Diversity in Science) framework, thereby launching our UR trainees into successful careers; 3) preparing IMSD@U2 trainees to become confident leaders in biomedical research; and 4) mentoring faculty mentors, thus developing and fostering a research-intensive and inclusive environment in which UR trainees and scientists can flourish. In order to accomplish these goals, key proposed activities that augment the current program include: personalized and cohort mentoring, peer outreach efforts and community building, a dynamic onboarding experience to support a successful start to graduate school, leadership development, faculty mentoring and development to better meet the needs of the UR community. Ultimately, we intend for our trainees to complete their qualifying exams, publish original research, apply for and obtain fellowships, complete their PhDs (70% success rate) with a mean time to degree of 6 years, and advance to high-quality postdoctoral and career positions in science-intensive and science-related careers in academia, industry, and government.

项目概要/摘要 IMSD@U2 计划的使命是建立一支多元化的生物医学队伍，反映我们的总体情况 人口。过去四年（2017-2020），犹他大学对多元化和包容性的承诺 成功招募了代表性不足 (UR) 的学生进入生物科学博士项目，因此 UR 学生占已录取学生的 32%（49 UR/153 人）。然而，我们认识到 过去四年来我们即将入学的博士班在多样性方面取得的这些实质性成果可能无法产生 扩大生物医学劳动力多样性的长期目标，如果没有有效、持续和 全面的包容性努力，加强UR学生的科学职业发展。该组织的目标 IMSD@U2 旨在培训多元化、富有创造力和才华横溢的弱势群体 (UR) 学生并为其开启职业生涯 1) 继续为犹他大学生物科学学院的学生建立成功的招生计划 博士课程； 2) 开发和利用创新计划，通过我们的 ExCEEDS 留住 UR 学生 （卓越的职业提升、教育、发展和科学多样性）框架，从而 帮助我们的 UR 学员走向成功的职业生涯； 3) 帮助 IMSD@U2 学员成为自信的领导者 生物医学研究； 4）指导教师导师，从而发展和培育研究密集型 UR 学员和科学家能够蓬勃发展的包容性环境。 为了实现这些目标，增强当前计划的关键拟议活动包括： 个性化和群体指导、同行外展工作和社区建设、动态入职培训 支持成功进入研究生院、领导力发展、教师指导和 的发展，以更好地满足 UR 社区的需求。最终，我们希望我们的学员能够完成 他们的资格考试，发表原创研究，申请并获得奖学金，完成博士学位（70% 成功率），平均获得学位时间为6年，并晋升为高质量的博士后和职业 在学术界、工业界和政府的科学密集型和与科学相关的职业中担任职位。
