项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose an interdisciplinary Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD) program that takes advantage of Virginia Tech's history of excellence in engineering and the life sciences to train doctoral students in the biomedical sciences. In addition to providing a structure that will attract and help retain students underrepresented in the biomedical sciences and engineering, the initiative will further strengthen Virginia Tech's (VT) pipeline of successful NSF and USDA doctoral training programs. The VT-IMSD will focus on recruiting and training scholars in five core research programs in which VT has excelled, including: (1) Genetics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology, (2) Biomedical Engineering, (3) Psychological Sciences, and (4) Molecular and Cellular Biology. The program will provide a research experience for outstanding undergraduate and graduate students. In addition to engaging in programs in fulfillment of their degree requirements, both the undergraduate and graduate students will participate in scientific and enrichment activities that include a weekly IMSD forum, a weekly program area seminar, a monthly multicultural assembly, and an annual research symposium. All the doctoral students will be required to take core classes that include Seminar, Effective Grant Writing, Statistics in Research, Principles of Biochemistry, Computation for the Life Sciences, and Preparing for the Professorate.
This IMSD interdisciplinary program will build on successful minority recruitment, enrichment, retention and graduation programs at VT including: middle and high school student campus visitation programs, a pre-college initiative for Native Americans, a high school senior/parents visitation program, a 12-year-old Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates in the Sciences and Engineering, an NSF-funded Alliance for Minority Participation program, a Department of Education-funded McNair Scholars program, a USDA-funded Multicultural Scholars' program for undergraduates, and an NIH-NIGMS-funded PREP program. As a baseline, for example, the Multicultural Academic Opportunities Program (MAOP) supported about 65 students through graduate assistantships in the Agriculture and Life Sciences and Human Development and Nutrition from 1995 through 2003 with a retention and graduation rate in excess of 80%. The MAOP and other programs form the foundation for the successful recruitment of outstanding students who will be selected as IMSD undergraduate and graduate scholars. Specific objectives of the proposed IMSD program include: (1) Recruit 5 VT-IMSD Ph.D. and 10 undergraduate scholars annually for training/education in the labs of outstanding VT researchers and award-winning educators; (2) Develop activities and programs that will enrich and motivate students to stay in school and to stay focused on the pursuit of research careers in the behavioral, veterinary and biomedical sciences and engineering; 3) Create a critical mass in the five core disciplines of a diverse student body that is consistent with the Virginia Tech "Principles of Community."
Achieving these aims is made easier by recent developments at VT that pledge, through the "Principles of Community," a total commitment of the University administration, departmental leaders, and Board of Visitors to create a welcoming environment for all students, especially minorities. Consistent with this principle, the VT administration has pledged over $350,000 in direct support for IMSD program that includes tuition and stipend for 4 additional doctoral scholars. Other support, of approximately $120,000, has also been pledged for the recruitment activities and the IMSD forums to support speakers, meals at the forums, and the annual retreats.
描述(由申请人提供):我们提出了一个跨学科的倡议,最大限度地提高学生多样性(IMSD)计划,利用弗吉尼亚理工大学在工程和生命科学方面的卓越历史,培养生物医学科学博士生。除了提供一个结构,将吸引和帮助留住学生在生物医学科学和工程的代表性不足,该计划将进一步加强弗吉尼亚理工大学(VT)的成功的NSF和美国农业部博士培训计划的管道。VT-IMSD将专注于招募和培训VT擅长的五个核心研究项目的学者,包括:(1)遗传学,生物信息学和计算生物学,(2)生物医学工程,(3)心理科学,以及(4)分子和细胞生物学。该计划将为优秀的本科生和研究生提供研究经验。除了在履行他们的学位要求的方案从事,无论是本科生和研究生将参加科学和丰富的活动,包括每周IMSD论坛,每周计划区研讨会,每月多元文化集会,和年度研究研讨会。所有的博士生将被要求参加核心课程,包括研讨会,有效的赠款写作,研究统计,生物化学原理,生命科学计算,并准备教授。
这个IMSD跨学科计划将建立在成功的少数民族招聘,丰富,保留和毕业计划在VT包括:初中和高中学生校园访问计划,为美国原住民,高中高级/家长访问计划,12岁的暑期研究经验,为本科生在科学和工程,一个NSF资助的联盟少数民族参与计划,一个教育部资助的麦克奈尔学者计划,一个美国农业部资助的多元文化学者计划的本科生,和一个NIH-NIGMS资助的PREP计划。例如,作为基准,1995年至2003年,多文化学术机会方案通过农业和生命科学以及人类发展和营养的研究生助学金支助了大约65名学生,保留率和毕业率超过80%。该MAOP和其他方案形成的优秀学生谁将被选为IMSD本科和研究生学者成功招聘的基础。 拟议的IMSD计划的具体目标包括:(1)招募5名VT-IMSD博士。和10名本科生学者每年在实验室的培训/教育的优秀VT研究人员和获奖的教育工作者;(2)制定活动和计划,将丰富和激励学生留在学校,并保持专注于追求研究事业的行为,兽医和生物医学科学和工程; 3)在一个多样化的学生群体的五个核心学科中创造一个临界质量,这与弗吉尼亚理工大学的“社区原则”是一致的。"
实现这些目标是由VT的承诺,通过“社区的原则”,大学管理,部门领导和游客的董事会的总承诺,为所有学生,特别是少数民族创造一个温馨的环境最近的事态发展变得更加容易。根据这一原则,佛蒙特州政府已承诺提供超过35万美元直接支持IMSD计划,其中包括4名博士生的学费和津贴。还认捐了约120 000美元的其他支助,用于征聘活动和信息管理司论坛,以支助发言人、论坛餐会和年度务虚会。
