DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This competing IMSD grant renewal from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is designed to continue to provide support for students from underrepresented groups to complete the PhD in biomedical and behavioral research and to advance to competitive postdoctoral and academic positions. The proposed program will increase opportunities for underrepresented students to thrive in the biomedical and behavioral sciences by providing them with the necessary tools, skills, and resources to complete their PhDs at UCSF in a timely fashion and to prepare for productive careers in research. Strong academic and professional mentoring leading to the successful completion of PhDs will increase the proportion of underrepresented students who join the biomedical workforce. Robust implementation and evaluation of measurable objectives, milestones, and outcomes will help create a more diverse population of future research scientists. The overall goal of this program will be achieved by the following specific objectives: 1) To ensure that IMSD Fellows' first-year research rotations and thesis lab placements are with renowned faculty in prestigious research programs who are also proven mentors supportive of new students and sensitive to unique issues facing many minority students. Strong mentorship by established researchers is key to the retention of students in the graduate program as well as for meaningful guidance toward obtaining postdoctoral positions and academic appointments after graduation. 2) To promote sustained success of IMSD students throughout their PhD work by fostering a community network of Fellows. Group learning, social engagement, peer mentoring, group discussions with role models, and participation in community service projects will create a support network to promote the progression of the group as a whole. 3) To accelerate IMSD Fellows' academic achievement by developing strong communication and organizational skills in order to maximize their research career progress and success. Progress can be measured by timely completion of milestones toward the degree; success can be measured by Fellows' presentations of their research in local and national settings, awards of competitive extramural fellowships, and eventual publications in high-impact journals. 4) To facilitate Fellows' ability t take a pro-active approach to career planning, by providing them with opportunities for career exploration and with tools and strategies to be competitive in the academic research job market. 5) To nurture a mindset that will encourage IMSD Fellows to serve as mentors, led by example, and support IMSD and similar programs throughout their academic careers by encouraging Fellows who have moved off IMSD funding to remain engaged with the Program through group activities, mentoring of junior fellows, and participation in campus outreach and diversity efforts With multi-faceted institutional support systems at UCSF, this proposed program will help to foster and sustain diversity in tomorrow's biomedical workforce.

描述（由申请人提供）：来自加利福尼亚大学旧金山大学（UCSF）的竞争IMSD授予续签旨在继续为来自代表性不足的团体的学生提供支持，以完成生物医学和行为研究博士学位，并促进竞争性的博士后和学术职位。拟议的计划将通过为他们提供必要的工具，技能和资源来及时在UCSF完成博士学位并为研究中的生产力做准备，从而增加代表性不足的学生在生物医学和行为科学中蓬勃发展的机会。强大的学术和专业指导导致成功完成博士学位将增加加入生物医学劳动力的代表性不足的学生的比例。强大的实施和评估可衡量的目标，里程碑和成果将有助于创造更多样化的未来研究科学家。该计划的总体目标将通过以下特定目标来实现：1）确保IMSD研究员的第一年研究轮换和论文实验室安排与著名的著名教职员工在著名的研究计划中，他们也被证明支持新生，并对许多少数少数学生面临的独特问题敏感。成熟研究人员的强大指导是学生在研究生课程中保留的关键，也是毕业后获得博士后职位和学术任命的有意义的指导。 2）通过培养研究员的社区网络，在整个博士学位工作中促进IMSD学生的持续成功。小组学习，社交参与，同伴指导，与榜样的小组讨论以及参与社区服务项目将创建一个支持网络，以促进整个小组的发展。 3）通过发展强大的沟通和组织技能来加快IMSD研究员的学术成就，以最大程度地提高他们的研究职业进步和成功。可以通过及时完成里程碑来衡量进度；成功可以通过研究员在本地和国家环境中的研究，竞争性校外研究金的奖励以及最终在高影响力期刊上的出版物来衡量。 4）通过为他们提供职业探索的机会以及在学术研究工作市场上具有竞争力的工具和策略，以促进研究员的能力来采取积极主动的方法。 5）培育一种思维方式，该思维方式通过榜样为导演，以榜样为导师，并通过鼓励搬迁IMSD资金的研究员来支持IMSD和类似计划，这些人通过团体活动，指导初级伙伴以及参与校园外界和多样性的努力，以帮助跨越的Instrational Programsing Progrance in Instrative for for for for for for for for for forsf，以保持ucsf and of the ucsf offersf。生物医学劳动力。
