DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Colorado at Boulder (CU-Boulder) proposes the continuation of a comprehensive effort to offer academic and enrichment activities to prepare underrepresented students for graduate school, and to recruit and graduate underrepresented Ph.D. students in biomedical science fields. CU-Boulder will continue its successful NIH/HHMI Scholars program, which was begun in 2003 with initial IMSD funding. This multi-year program allows undergraduate students to engage in research under the guidance of a faculty mentor, learn laboratory techniques and explore scientific ethics, develop the skills required to critically read and integrate research articles, and acquire competence in presenting research results through papers and scientific presentations. The program also provides GRE preparation and workshops on both the application process for graduate school and writing personal statements. CU-Boulder recruits and prepares students for the program by exposing incoming engineering freshmen to bioengineering research through a summer bridge program offered by the Multicultural Engineering Program, and by offering lab experience to early career undergraduates through an IMSD-funded Exploring Research program. CU-Boulder's IMSD effort at the undergraduate level is designed to identify talented students early in their academic careers and keep them in the pipeline for graduate school. The proposed IMSD program will also support 6 doctoral students each year for one to two years each. CU-Boulder targets funding to attract first year doctoral students to CU-Boulder, to move advanced students from teaching to research assistantships, and to provide bridge funding between other external sources when necessary. CU-Boulder's efforts to date have been highly successul. Of the eleven NIH/HHMI Scholars that have graduated with baccalaureate degrees, one is in a Ph.D. program, two are in M.D. programs, and three are in post-baccalaureate programs with plans to apply to Ph.D. or M.D. programs. The one Ph.D. graduate is a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University. Our graduate and undergraduate participants have produced 15 peer-reviewed publications.

描述(由申请人提供)：科罗拉多大学博尔德分校(CU-Boulder)建议继续开展综合努力，提供学术和丰富活动，为研究生培养代表性不足的学生，并在生物医学领域招收和毕业代表性不足的博士生。CU-Boulder将继续其成功的NIH/HHMI学者项目，该项目始于2003年，最初由IMSD提供资金。这一多年制课程允许本科生在教师导师的指导下从事研究，学习实验室技术并探索科学伦理，培养批判性阅读和整合研究文章所需的技能，并获得通过论文和科学演示来展示研究结果的能力。该计划还提供GRE准备和研讨会，包括申请研究生院的过程和撰写个人陈述。CU-Boulder通过多元文化工程项目提供的暑期桥项目让即将入学的工程学新生接触生物工程研究，并通过IMSD资助的探索研究项目为早期职业本科生提供实验室经验，从而招募和准备学生参加该项目。科罗拉多州立大学博尔德管理学院在本科阶段的努力旨在发现有才华的学生在他们的学术生涯早期，并保持他们进入研究生院的管道。拟议的IMSD项目还将每年支持6名博士生，每人为期一到两年。CU-Boulder的目标是提供资金，吸引一年级的博士生来到CU-Boulder，将高级学生从教学转移到研究助理奖学金，并在必要时在其他外部来源之间提供过渡性资金。 到目前为止，CU-Boulder的努力非常成功。在11名获得学士学位的NIH/HHMI奖学金获得者中，一人在攻读博士学位，两人在攻读医学博士学位，三人在攻读学士学位后计划申请博士或医学博士学位。这位博士毕业生是哥伦比亚大学的博士后研究员。我们的研究生和本科生参与者已经出版了15份同行评议的出版物。
