DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Stony Brook University IMSD Maximizing Excellence in Research for Graduate Education (IMSD MERGE) aims to increase the number of underrepresented students (URM) completing highly productive biomedical sciences degrees at Stony Brook University, and prepare them for seamless advancement into successful research careers. Our previous successes in attracting and graduating UR students to our programs have transformed our focus beyond enrollment and degree production, to that of the quality of the academic experience and the long-term outcomes for our UR students. This program will benefit from a dual leadership model that combines two campus leaders in STEM education: an accomplished biomedical researcher and a faculty member nationally recognized for his science education and mentoring activities. We have also garnered significant expertise from 62 tenured faculty representing 12 biological and biomedical research areas (applied math, biochemistry, biomedical engineering, chemistry, computational biology, ecology and evolution, marine sciences, medicine, microbiology, neurobiology, pathology, pharmacology and physiology/biophysics). Our goals will be accomplished through enhanced and funded research opportunities for five new undergraduate students and direct financial support for five new doctoral students annually with provision for broader institutional impact. In close collaboration with the biomedical sciences faculty, particularly the research advisors of IMSD MERGE fellows, and departmental leadership, we will address critical issues that serve as impediments to training and career success for UR scientists with targeted preparation for key junctures in academic development to enhance persistence and performance outcomes. This project has the following three specific aims: 1) Increase to 70% the annual number of UR undergraduate students that are persisting in the biomedical science majors past their sophomore year for a total of 50 new biological sciences UR undergraduate majors in each class and ensure 80% of IMSD MERGE undergraduate scholars pursue doctoral study upon graduation through exposure to meaningful research experiences and professional development; 2) Enhance our present efforts to provide academic enrichment and advancement skills for our incoming doctoral students to reach parity in performance with their non UR peers in core courses, qualifying exams and thesis proposal outcomes; and 3) Provide a rigorous professional development regimen for IMSD doctoral students with an emphasis on improving skills related to research project selection, design, and execution in order to increase a) the average number and quality of publications among UR students by 100% (to 2 publications) to achieve parity with the average publications among the non-UR students and b) the total number of UR students entering postdoctoral positions upon graduation from 46% to 65%. Our strong institutional commitment to the objectives of the proposed IMSD MERGE goes beyond the enthusiastic support of senior leadership and commitment of in-kind support. As stated in their letters of support, our President has made a $100,000 commitment to IMSD MERGE to be used for administrative and programmatic expenses not covered by the project budget; our Graduate Dean has committed two recruitment Teaching Assistant lines to support additional IMSD fellows, allowing us to train a total of 25 IMSD doctoral fellows over the initial project period. he program will also benefit from a strong network of collaborators on campus with numerous program leaders and faculty members serving on our Advisory Committee and subcommittees and strong support from our Provost on efforts to bring synergy to our activities across the campus. To further enhance the proposed research training program, we are instituting a Mentor Workshop, an Individualized Development Plan, and monthly networking opportunities with postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty.

描述（由申请人提供）：Stony Brook University IMSD最大化研究生教育研究卓越（IMSD Merge）旨在增加在Stony Brook University完成高生产力生物医学科学学位的代表性不足的学生（URM）的数量，并为他们提供无缝的研究护理人员的准备。我们以前在吸引和毕业的学生参加我们的课程方面取得了成功，将我们的重点超出了入学和学位生产，转变为学术经验的质量以及我们的学生的长期成果。该计划将受益于双重领导模式，该模型结合了STEM教育领域的两个校园领导者：一位成就卓著的生物医学研究人员和一名因其科学教育和指导活动而获得全国认可的教职员工。我们还从62位终身教师中获得了重要的专业知识，代表12个生物学和生物医学研究领域（应用数学，生物化学，生物医学工程，化学，计算生物学，生态学和进化，海洋学，医学，微生物学，微生物学，神经生物学，病理学，病理学，药理学和生理学/生物学/生物学/生物学/生物学/生物学）。我们的目标将通过为五个新的本科生的增强和资助的研究机会实现，并每年为五个新的博士生提供直接的财务支持，并提供更广泛的机构影响。在与生物医学科学教师（尤其是IMSD合并研究员的研究顾问和部门领导力的研究顾问）的密切合作中，我们将解决关键问题，这些问题是对我们的科学家的障碍和职业成功，他们有针对性地准备在学术发展中为关键的建立准备，以增强持久性和绩效的影响。该项目具有以下三个具体目的：1）增加到70％的年度UR本科生数量，这些学生在大二年前的生物医学科学专业的学生中持续存在，在每个班级中总共有50个新的生物科学专业的本科专业的学生，​​并确保IMSD合并的80％通过IMSD Merge Merge通过毕业的研究经验，从事培养经验，从事培养经验，并有意义地发展了有意义的研究经验。 2）加强我们目前的努力，为即将到来的博士学生提供学术丰富和进步技能，以与他们的非同龄人在核心课程，合格的考试和论文提案成果中达到绩效； 3）为IMSD博士生提供一种严格的专业发展方案，重点是提高与研究项目选择，设计和执行相关的技能，以增加a）我们的学生中的平均数量和质量在100％（至2个出版物）中，以与非净国公司的平均出版物的平均出版物和b的平均出版物相等。我们对拟议的IMSD合并目标的强烈机构承诺超出了对高级领导力和实物支持的致力的热情支持。正如他们的支持信中所述，我们的总统对IMSD合并做出了100,000美元的承诺，用于用于行政和计划费用，而项目预算未涵盖的行政费用；我们的毕业生院长已承诺两条招聘助教线路，以支持其他IMSD研究员，使我们能够在最初的项目期间培训25名IMSD博士学位研究员。他的计划还将受益于校园内的强大合作者网络，众多计划负责人和教职员工在我们的咨询委员会和小组委员会中任职，并得到我们教务长的强烈支持，以使我们在整个校园的活动中努力使协同作用。为了进一步增强拟议的研究培训计划，我们正在建立一个导师研讨会，个性化的发展计划以及通过博士后研究员和初级教师的每月网络机会。
