The University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) proposes to develop a new T32 training program that will train predoctoral graduate students from groups that are underrepresented in biomedical research to become successful scientists pursuing careers in the biomedical workforce. Underrepresented (UR) groups include students from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds (underrepresented minorities or URM) as well as students with disabilities. The mission of our training program is to facilitate the transformation of our trainees into independent scientists who are active producers of new biomedical knowledge and are adept at solving the complex problems of disease and illnesses that adversely affect human health. To accomplish this mission, we have established the following six objectives: Objective #1: To increase the participation of UR students in the participating biomedical predoctoral programs from the current level of 16% to 20%, such that our programs reflect the diversity of the state of Missouri’s population. Objective #2: To improve the PhD completion rate of UR students in the participating biomedical predoctoral programs from the current level of 84% to 90%, such that UR students complete their PhD at the same rate as students from well-represented backgrounds. Objective #3: To equip our trainees with the skills to communicate their science, such that 30% of UR trainees in the participating programs are awarded external fellowships during their predoctoral training. Objective #4: To increase the number of publications by our trainees, such that our UR PhD graduates will publish, on average, 2 first-author papers while contributing to, on average, 2 additional publications over the course of their doctoral training. Objective #5: To strengthen the inclusive and supportive nature of our training environment, as well as improve the mentoring skills of our faculty. Objective #6: To develop robust levels of science self-efficacy, science identity, perceived supports, and satisfaction with mentoring relationships among UR trainees, all of which are predictors of academic satisfaction and persistence outcomes among students from UR backgrounds. The IMSD T32 program will implement a wide-ranging set of programmatic activities to achieve the stated Objectives. The programmatic activities, based on best practices for retention of students from UR backgrounds, as described in the literature, will develop the technical, operational and professional skills that will enable our trainees to flourish in their independent scientific careers.

密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校 (MU) 提议开发新的 T32 培训计划 将培训来自生物医学领域代表性不足的群体的博士前研究生 研究成为在生物医学劳动力中追求职业生涯的成功科学家。 代表性不足 (UR) 群体包括来自不同种族和民族背景的学生 （代表性不足的少数群体或 URM）以及残疾学生。我们的使命 培训计划旨在促进我们的学员转变为独立科学家 是新生物医学知识的积极创造者，并且善于解决复杂的问题 对人类健康产生不利影响的疾病问题。为了实现这一点 使命，我们制定了以下六个目标： 目标 1：增加 UR 学生参与生物医学博士前项目 目前的水平为 16% 至 20%，这样我们的计划就能反映国家的多样性 密苏里州的人口。目标#2：提高 UR 学生的博士学位完成率 生物医学博士前项目的参与率从目前的84%提高到90%，这样 UR 学生完成博士学位的速度与来自知名大学的学生相同 背景。目标#3：让我们的学员具备传播科学的技能， 参与项目的 UR 学员中有 30% 获得外部奖学金 在博士前培训期间。目标#4：增加我们的出版物数量 实习生，这样我们的 UR 博士毕业生平均将发表 2 篇第一作者论文，同时 在博士培训过程中平均另外发表 2 篇出版物。 目标#5：加强我们培训环境的包容性和支持性， 并提高我们教师的指导技能。目标 6：开发稳健的水平 科学自我效能感、科学认同、感知支持以及对指导的满意度 UR 学员之间的关系，所有这些都是学业满意度和 来自 UR 背景的学生的坚持结果。 IMSD T32 计划将 实施一系列广泛的计划活动以实现既定目标。这 基于留住 UR 背景学生的最佳实践的计划活动， 如文献中所述，将培养技术、操作和专业技能 这将使我们的学员能够在独立的科学事业中蓬勃发展。
