PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The UCSC IMSD Graduate Training Program aims to create an inclusive training experience that increases the recruitment and retention of a diverse population of Ph.D. students into the biomedical sciences and related fields. Building on decades of experience in promoting STEM diversity at the graduate and undergraduate levels, we will support Ph.D. students during the crucial transition at the beginning of graduate training. We will arm these students with the research and professionals skills to have successful careers in academia, industry and related fields. At the same time, our program will promote an inclusive training environment by engaging our faculty, staff and wider student population in discussions about the sources and consequences of bias that remains in the many corners of academia. The UCSC IMSD Graduate Training Program proposes to provide two years of support to 12 students who are admitted into one of four tracks of the Program in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering (PBSE), which serves as an interdisciplinary umbrella program involving over 70 investigators who study diverse topics in biomedical science. We will select students who 1) have high potential for success in graduate studies, based on their demonstrated resilience in overcoming a variety challenges, and 2) are motivated to become leaders in improving inclusivity in the biomedical sciences during their future careers. In their first year, IMSD students will participate in the PBSE laboratory rotation program and take core courses that emphasize rigor and reproducibility in experimental design and conduct. They will also receive formal training in the responsible conduct of research and teaching. Each student will also be paired with a faculty “master” mentor, who will aid in choosing rotation labs, completing an IDP, and identifying a supportive thesis advisor. In the summer of their first year, IMSD students will participate in a new “Proposal Bootcamp” designed to develop a thesis research proposal for fellowship applications and a plan of study for qualifying exams that will take place in spring of their second year. In the summer of their second year, students will participate in the IMSD Graduate Leadership Academy for Diversity (GLAD), which we piloted last year. The program includes seminars, workshops, social justice journal club and community events IMSD Graduate aimed at helping students develop independent research initiative and mentorship skills. It also provides opportunities to explore career pathways and create a concrete career plan. Finally, the program prepares students to further impact the campus' overall research climate by projecting their own leadership skills to positively influence diversity and inclusion.

项目总结/摘要 UCSC IMSD毕业生培训计划旨在创造一种包容性的培训体验， 增加招聘和留住不同人口的博士。学生进入生物医学科学 和相关领域。基于数十年来在促进STEM多样性方面的经验， 本科阶段，我们将支持博士。学生在毕业之初的关键过渡期 训练我们将武装这些学生的研究和专业技能，有成功的职业生涯， 学术界、工业界和相关领域。与此同时，我们的计划将促进包容性的培训， 环境，让我们的教师，工作人员和更广泛的学生群体参与讨论的来源和 偏见的后果仍然存在于学术界的许多角落。UCSC IMSD毕业生培训 该计划建议为12名被录取进入四个轨道之一的学生提供两年的支持。 生物医学科学与工程计划（PBSE），作为跨学科的保护伞 该计划涉及70多名研究人员，他们研究生物医学科学的各种主题。我们将选择 学生谁1）有很高的潜力，成功的研究生学习，根据他们表现出的弹性， 克服各种挑战，2）有动力成为提高包容性的领导者， 生物医学科学在他们未来的职业生涯。在第一年，IMSD学生将参加PBSE 实验室轮换计划，并采取核心课程，强调实验的严谨性和可重复性 设计和执行。他们还将接受负责任的研究和教学行为的正式培训。 每个学生还将与一位教师“大师”导师配对，他将帮助选择轮换实验室， 完成IDP，并确定支持性论文导师。在第一年的夏天，IMSD的学生 我将参加一个新的“建议训练营”，旨在制定一个论文研究建议的奖学金 申请和学习计划的资格考试，将在春季举行的第二年。在 他们的第二年夏天，学生将参加IMSD研究生领导学院的多样性 （GLAD），我们去年进行了试点。该方案包括研讨会，讲习班，社会正义杂志俱乐部， 社区活动IMSD毕业生旨在帮助学生发展独立的研究计划， 指导技能。它还提供了探索职业道路和制定具体职业计划的机会。 最后，该计划准备学生通过预测进一步影响校园的整体研究气氛 他们自己的领导技能，以积极影响多样性和包容性。
