IMSD PROGRAM AT WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY

韦恩州立大学正在提交一份倡议提案， 少数民族学生发展（IMSD），将作为一个延续 我们目前的MBRS合作伙伴计划。该计划将使 创新我们目前的计划，以解决增加的目标， 21世纪世纪生物医学研究的少数民族参与。我们 该计划将涉及本科生和研究生 成分本科部分将确定学生在 新生水平和以下识别十六将确定 学生在一年级和以下鉴定16 学生每年将被选中两次参加课程“介绍 调查科学”。本课程旨在提高 学生在数学、化学、物理方面已经发展起来的技能 和生物学。但更重要的是，这门课也旨在提高 学生的能力（1）使用计算机辅助学习技术， 科学入门课程，（2）发展和提高写作技能， (3)提高演讲技巧和（4）小组工作，以实现他们的 学术目标。这些学生将由他们的 参加“自主学习”课程。本课程旨在 与这些学生保持联系，并跟踪他们的进展， 发展这些学生中的一些将被安置在IMSD中 支持的研究或其他支持的研究计划。导师将 直接的研究经验，旨在提高他们的 科学发展设计将使我们有机会 影响大量的少数民族学生（32/年），并指导大多数 认真做好调研工作。将招收研究生 通过我们的计划或个别部门的大学。一旦 确定这些学生将被引导向最好的导师 与他们的职业目标相一致的学术领域。在 此外，这些研究生将花时间与 辅导本科生在这两个“介绍， 调查科学”类和“独立研究”课程。 在各个部门与导师一起工作， 与本科生一样，这些研究生将拥有 有机会发展教学和演讲技巧。这 与其他研究生和本科生的互动将 建立一个发展的连续体，并建立所有 韦恩州立大学的IMSD学生。跟踪学生的方法 和计划评估正在实施，以便我们能够满足我们的 明确的目标。

Wayne State University is submitting a proposal for the Initiative for Minority Student Development (IMSD) that will serve as a continuation for our current MBRS Associates Program. This program will make innovations to our current program to address the goal of increasing minority participation in biomedical research for the 21st century. Our program will involve both an undergraduate and graduate student component. The undergraduate component will identify students at the freshman level and following identification sixteen will identify students at the freshman level and following identification sixteen students will be selected twice per year to take a course "Introduction to investigative Sciences". This course is designed to sharpen the students' already developed skills in mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology. But more importantly this class is also designed to enhance students' ability to (1) use computer assisted learning techniques for introductory science courses, (2) develop and improve writing skills, (3) enhance presentation skills and (4) work in groups to achieve their academic goals. These cohort of students will be tracked by their participation in the "Independent Study" class. This class is designed to maintain contact with these students and follow their progress and development. Select numbers of these students will be placed in the IMSD supported research or other supported research programs. Mentors will direct research experiences that are designed to enhance their scientific development. The design will give us the opportunity to impact a large pool of minority students (32/year) and guide the most serious into research positions. The graduate students will be recruited to the university by our program or individual departments. Once identified these students will be guided toward the very best mentors and academic areas that are consistent with their career goals. In addition, these graduate students will spend time working with and tutoring undergraduate students in both the "Introduction to Investigative Sciences" class and the "Independent Study" course. Working in the individual departments with their mentors plus working with the undergraduate students, these graduate students will have the opportunity to develop teaching and presentation skills. This interaction with other graduate and undergraduate students will establish a continuum of development, and esprit de corps of all the IMSD students at Wayne State University. Methods for tracking students and program evaluation are being implemented so that we can meet our defined goals.
