UW Initiative for Minority Student Development

该MBRS IMSD计划的长期目标是增加进入生物医学研究生领域和生物医学研究专业的代表性不足的少数民族学生的数量。华盛顿大学是太平洋西北地区主要的生物医学研究型大学。因此，在这个国家的重要角落，建立一个有效的方案来促进代表性不足的少数民族科学家的发展至关重要。该计划旨在激发代表性不足的少数民族学生对生物医学研究职业的兴趣，并为他们在这些职业中脱颖而出做好准备。它将提供一套完整的学术和研究活动，连接整个本科到研究生范围，并将一些更广泛的资源和社区支持从大学的少数民族事务办公室集中到特定的IMSD计划目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of this MBRS IMSD Program is to increase the number of under-represented minority students entering the biomedical graduate fields and biomedical research professions. The University of Washington is the primary biomedical research university for the Pacific Northwest. The establishment of an effective program to promote the development of under-represented minority scientists is thus crucial in this vital corner of the country. This program is designed to excite under-represented minority students about biomedical research careers, and to prepare them to excel at those careers. It will provide an integrated set of academic and research activities that connect across the undergraduate to graduate spectrum, and focus some of the wider resources and community support from the university's office of Minority Affairs to specific IMSD program objectives.
