Advancing the Culture of Ph.D. Learning and Scholarship in Biology and Health Science

推进生物学和健康博士学习和奖学金的文化 科学 项目摘要： 我们建议解决国家科学领域代表性不足群体的短缺问题，并建立能力 在这些领域培养和培养乌拉圭的博士。我们将重点关注代表性不足的少数群体（URM）： a）增加美国UR学生完成博士学位和追求科学事业的人数， B）将我们成功的生物医学项目扩展到大学的所有非生物医学STEM博士项目。 a）在IMSD的做法引发了积极的催化变化的情况下，我们将加强生物医学合作 并通过与同样致力于以下方面的机构建立新的合作关系， 扩大STEM参与。IMSD帮助增加了生物医学的UR博士生（特别是URMs） 从4%到19.6%。这一人群占我们所有URM STEM博士生的66%。在 2014年，作为一个IMSD的结果，布朗排名第11位，在全国生产非洲裔美国人博士学位持有者在 生物和生物医学科学。我们将努力为所有其他工发组织代表团在这些领域取得类似的里程碑。 B）IMSD纳入13个非生物医学STEM博士课程将通过建立一个关键质量的UR启动 学生在学科结盟和收敛与生物公共卫生领域，导致在这些职业生涯 领域的我们将在5年内将这些大学生的人数从目前的4.2%增加到15%。 年学员将在应用数学，化学，认知，语言学和心理科学， 计算机科学，4个工程博士课程，物理和4个公共卫生博士课程。 在将Brown BioMed IMSD计划转变为Brown Institutional IMSD计划的过程中，我们将建立 布朗是培养科学家和学者的全国领导者。我们的成熟计划将： ●将BioMed的UR研究生人口从IMSD时代前的5%左右增加到25%。 ●将非生物医学（大学）大学毕业生人数从目前的约4.2%增加到15%。 最大限度地扩大和支持所有未来的IMSD学生和非IMSD学生（旁观者效应） ●将IMSD的做法制度化，使其在布朗大学和我们的伙伴机构中得到广泛继承 布朗IMSD的目标将通过实现以下具体目标来实现： 1)通过扩大内部和外部计划，扩大布朗IMSD计划的范围和影响 2）建立IMSD的多方面，个性化的教育和培训计划活动 3）通过改善机构范围内的多样性实践，扩大IMSD的机构影响。 在本提案的正文中，我们提供了背景，并对布朗大学的STEM培训状况进行了评估 并提供a）一个计划，将布朗移动到前10名，在全国生产UR博士学位在所有科学，B） 将布朗提升为“最重要的人”，c）使布朗成为有吸引力的目的地和包容性的严谨 PhD培养环境。布朗承诺支持另外8个国家， URM STEM博士生称赞14将由这个建议的支持。

ADVANCING THE CULTURE OF PhD LEARNING & SCHOLARSHIP IN BIOLOGY & HEALTH SCIENCES Project Summary: We propose to address the national shortage of underrepresented (UR) groups in science and to build capacity to train and produce UR PhDs in these fields. With emphasis on under-represented minorities (URMs) we will: a) Increase the numbers of U.S. UR students completing PhDs and pursuing science careers, and b) Expand our successful BioMed program to all non-BioMed STEM PhD programs in the university. a) We will strengthen BioMed collaborations where IMSD practices have triggered positive catalytic changes and capitalize on achievements by building new collaborations with institutions similarly committed to broadening STEM participation. IMSD has helped to increase BioMed's UR PhD student (specifically URMs) numbers from ~4% to 19.6%. This population accounts for 66% of all of our URM STEM PhD students. In 2014, as an IMSD outcome, Brown ranked 11th in the nation in producing African-American PhD holders in the biological & biomedical sciences. We will strive for similar milestones for all other UR groups in these fields. b) IMSD's inclusion of 13 non-BioMed STEM PhD programs will be initiated by building a critical mass of UR students in disciplines allied & convergent with the biological public health fields that lead to careers in these fields. We will increase the number of these university students from the current level of ~4.2% to ~15% in 5 years. Trainees will be supported in Applied Math, Chemistry, Cognitive, Linguistics & Psychological Sciences, Computer Science, 4 Engineering PhD programs, Physics and 4 Public Health PhD programs. In transforming the Brown BioMed IMSD Program into the Brown Institutional IMSD Program we will establish Brown as a national leader in producing scientists & scholars. Our maturing program will: ● Increase BioMed's UR graduate student population from our pre-IMSD era low of ~5% to 25%. ● Increase the non-BioMed (university) UR graduate population from its current level of~4.2% to 15%. ● Maximize outreach & support of all future IMSD students and non-IMSD students (the bystander effect) ● Institutionalize IMSD practices so that they are inherited broadly at Brown and at our partner institutions Brown IMSD's objectives will be met by achieving the following specific aims: 1) Expand the reach and impact of the Brown IMSD program through expanded internal and external program partnerships, 2) Build on IMSD's Multi-Faceted, Individualized Educational and Training Programs activities and 3) Broaden IMSD's institutional impact by improving institution-wide diversity practices. In the body of this proposal we provide background, and an assessment of the state of STEM training at Brown and provide a) a plan that will move Brown to the top10 in the nation in producing UR PhDs in all sciences, b) elevate Brown to `first among Ivies' and c) make Brown at attractive destination and inclusive rigorous environment for PhD training. Institutional support is provided by Brown's commitment to support 8 additional URM STEM PhD students to compliment the 14 that will be support by this proposal.
