Project Summary/Abstract The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health SA) is one of the nation’s leading Health Universities and is a chief catalyst for San Antonio’s $42 billion bioscience and health care industry, the leading sector of the largest minority (Latino)-majority city in the United States. The institution is committed in all its missions to diversity, inclusive excellence and accessibility. The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences is one of the five component schools and has 21 graduate programs. The flagship doctoral program is the Integrated Biomedical Sciences (IBMS) Program that has strategically progressed from 6 departmental programs, through a transitional umbrella program, and finally to its current state of a truly single, integrated, multidisciplinary program. It is the IBMS program serves as the pool of underrepresented (UR) students that have fed two rounds of the current IMSD R25 and will continue to be the feeder for the new IMSD (T32) program. This proposal builds upon a highly successful intervention program that has resulted in exceptional metrics. These include UR representation increasing from 17% to 39% in the last decade, and parity with non-UR trainees in average publications (5) and retention (96%). Time to degree for UR, while shorter than the national average, remains lagging behind the general IBMS population, likely due to the focus on scientific output. Undergirded by an asset-based theoretical framework of action that integrates Social Cognitive Career Theory and Community Cultural Wealth, our strategies in recruitment, research training, faculty development, and career exploration, will serve to extend our successes and strengthen our contributions to diversity in the biomedical sciences workforce. Enhanced focus and support related to timely translation of progress into written outputs (fellowship applications, manuscripts, dissertation etc.) will shorten the time to degree. By the end of this cycle, we are optimistic we can reach our original goal of graduating a culturally diverse, yet scientifically-uniform, pool of IBMS (including IMSD UR) students all of whom, by virtue of this diversity, empowering training experience, and innovative co-curricular activities, are exceptional in their professional skills and attributes and positioned for career success and leadership in the biomedical sector.

项目总结/摘要 位于圣安东尼奥的德克萨斯大学健康科学中心（UT Health SA）是美国领先的 是圣安东尼奥价值420亿美元的生物科学和医疗保健产业的主要催化剂， 美国最大的少数民族（拉丁美洲人）占多数的城市的主要部门。该机构致力于所有 其使命是多样性，包容性卓越和可访问性。生物医学科学研究生院是 五个组成学校之一，有21个研究生课程。旗舰博士课程是 综合生物医学科学（IBMS）计划，已从6个部门的战略进展 计划，通过过渡性的伞式计划，最终达到真正单一的，综合的， 多学科计划。这是IBMS计划作为代表性不足（UR）的学生， 已经喂养了两轮目前的IMSD R25，并将继续成为新的IMSD（T32）计划的馈线。 该提案建立在一个非常成功的干预计划的基础上，该计划产生了特殊的指标。 其中包括工发组织代表在过去十年中从17%增加到39%，并与非工发组织代表学员平等 平均出版量（5）和保留率（96%）。UR的学位时间虽然比全国平均水平短， 仍然落后于一般IBMS人口，可能是由于对科学产出的关注。以...为支撑 基于资产的行动理论框架，整合了社会认知职业理论和社区 文化财富，我们在招聘，研究培训，教师发展和职业探索的战略， 将有助于扩大我们的成功，加强我们对生物医学科学多样性的贡献 劳动力加强对及时将进展转化为书面产出的关注和支持（研究金 申请、手稿、论文等）会缩短时间到一定程度。在这个周期结束时，我们 乐观地说，我们可以达到我们最初的目标，毕业的文化多样性，但科学统一，池IBMS （包括IMSD UR）所有学生，凭借这种多样性，赋予培训经验， 创新的课外活动，在他们的专业技能和属性，并定位为 在生物医学领域的职业成功和领导力。
