Biomedical Science Research Career Enhancement Program

加州大学旧金山分校(UCSF)提议继续实施该倡议 为少数民族学生发展“加州大学旧金山分校生物医学科学研究职业提升计划” (IMSD项目)。这一计划有力地促进了在学术和研究生涯准备方面的卓越表现。 来自代表不足的群体的学生正在攻读生物医学和健康科学博士学位。 加州大学公共高等教育机构寻求提供研究生教育机会 所有有前途的学生，包括那些在教育和经济上处于不利地位的学生。 尽管入学费用相对较低，但公立大学没有足够的资源来提供 为研究生提供足够的生活支持。处境不利的学生受到的影响最大 由于这种财政状况，导致年内来自代表性不足群体的学生人数较少 博士学位课程。拟议的IMSD项目使加州大学旧金山分校能够确保研究生从 代表不足的群体有足够的经济、学术、智力和社会支持来取得成功 短期的，长期的，当寻找和进入生物医学和 健康科学。IMSD项目组成部分将指导研究助学金与学术研究相结合 丰富活动和团队建设活动，以实现：研究生支助的最佳组合； 加强学术指导和社会支持，以防止学生被孤立和/或边缘化。这个 IMSD项目旨在促进跨学科学习；团队科学；批判性思维；增强 研究技能；教职员工对学术进步和职业规划的密切关注； 与国家科学界的联系；以及培养通常不包括在研究生中的技能 课程--如研究经费的开发和管理、资源管理、 科学写作和出版，口头陈述研究结果，准备简历，以及职业生涯 规划技巧。两个整体目标是：(A)确保及时完成国际管理学院学生的研究生课程 (B)促进生物医学和健康科学 IMSD毕业生晋升为独立调查人员领导职位的研究职业生涯， 职业教育者和永久文学的贡献者。

The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), proposesto continue the implementation of the Initiative for Minority Student Development "UCSF Biomedical Science Research Career Enhancement Program" (IMSD Program). This program strongly promotes excellencein scholarship and research career preparation of students from underrepresented groups pursuing the Ph.D. degree in biomedical and health sciences. University of California public institutions of higher education seek to provide access to graduate education to all promising students including those from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Though cost of attendance is relatively low, public universities do not have sufficient resources to provide adequate subsistence support for graduate students. Disadvantaged students are most adversely affected by this fiscal situation, which contributes to the low numbers of students from underrepresented groups in Ph.D. programs. The proposed IMSD Program enables UCSF to ensurethat graduate students from underrepresented groups have sufficient financial, academic, intellectual, and social support to succeed in short-term, and, in the long-term when seeking and entering researchcareer positions in the biomedical and health sciences. IMSD Program components combine mentored research assistantships with academic enrichment activities and team-building activities to achieve: an optimal mix of graduate student support; intensive academic mentorship, and social support to prevent student isolation and/or marginalization. The IMSD Program aims to promote cross-disciplinary learning; team science; critical thinking; enhancement of research skills; close attention from faculty members regardingacademic progress and career planning; linkages with a national scientific community; and development of skills not normally included in graduate curricula ¿such as training in research grant development and administration, resource management, scientific writing and publishing, oral presentation of findings, preparation of the curriculum vitae, andcareer planning skills. The two overall goals are: (a) to ensure timely completion of IMSD students' graduate studies with the highest degree of excellence and academic success, and (b) to foster biomedical and health science research careers in which IMSD graduates advance to leadership positions as independent investigators, career educators, and contributors to the permanent literature.
