项目摘要/摘要 在阿肯色州攻读生物医学科学博士学位的人数 而全国范围内的失业率一直很低。实际从生物医学专业毕业的UR学生人数 博士课程甚至更低，导致UR在生物医学研究劳动力中的教职员工人数很少。这个 阿肯色州医科大学(UAMS)最大限度地促进学生发展的倡议(IMSD) 该计划于2009年获得资助，旨在增加UR学生注册和毕业的人数 生物医学博士课程，并帮助这些学生过渡到生物医学研究 劳动力。UAMS生物医学博士项目的UR学生平均入学率目前为 15.2%，是加州大学攻读生物医学博士学位的学生比例的两倍多 IMSD项目始于2009年。然而，这个数字仍然低于全国平均水平，甚至更多。 需要干预措施来提高生物医学专业的UR学生的入学率、保留率和毕业率 理科课程。目前的IMSD计划包括学生发展和保留活动，旨在 旨在提高UR学生在学习过程中的成功，提高他们的毕业率。至 为了进一步帮助北卡罗来纳大学的生物医学学生，我们计划继续目前的IMSD项目 并建议增加新的培训活动，以确保UR学生的学业成功。在这项管理下 作为补充，我们计划举办一系列研讨会，重点关注隐性偏见、刻板印象威胁和冒名顶替者 综合症；针对研究生的复原力工作坊；小组复原力培训模块 针对研究生的课程；制定正式的指导和指导计划，利用以下成员 我们针对研究生的女性学院发展核心小组和学术委员会；并提供 通过将国际管理发展学院的研究生和本科生配对，提供点对点辅导的机会。 这项拟议的研究培训计划的具体目标是：1)加强现有管理学院的活动 重点关注健康和安全的课程；以及2)开发和实施新的IMSD课程，重点是 复原力、情商、认知失调和自我倡导；以及3)制定和实施 本科生近距离同行辅导计划。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The number of underrepresented (UR) students enrolled in biomedical sciences PhD programs in Arkansas and nationally is consistently low. The number of UR students who actually graduate from biomedical sciences PhD programs is even lower, resulting in a small pool of UR faculty in the biomedical research workforce. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences' (UAMS) Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) Program was funded in 2009 and aims to increase the number of UR students who enroll and graduate in biomedical sciences PhD programs, and assist these students in transitioning into the biomedical research workforce. The average UR student enrollment rate in UAMS biomedical science PhD programs is currently 15.2%, more than double the percent of UR students enrolled in biomedical science PhD programs before the IMSD program began in 2009. However, this number is still lower than the national average and more interventions are needed to increase UR student enrollment, retention, and graduation rates in biomedical sciences programs. The current IMSD program consists of student development and retention activities aimed at enhancing UR student success during their program of study and increasing their graduation rates. To further our efforts to assist UR biomedical science students, we plan to continue the current IMSD programs and propose adding new training activities to ensure UR student academic success. Under this administrative supplement, we plan to host a series of seminars focusing on implicit bias, stereotype threat and imposters syndrome; resilience workshops targeting graduate students; resilience training modules with small group sessions targeting graduate students; develop a formal mentoring and coaching program utilizing members of our Women's Faculty Development Caucus and Academic Senate that targets graduate students; and provide opportunities for peer-to-peer mentoring by pairing IMSD graduate students and UR undergraduate students. The specific aims of this proposed research training plan are to: 1) enhance activities in existing IMSD programs by focusing on wellness and safety; and 2) develop and implement new IMSD programs focusing on resilience, emotional intelligence, cognitive dissonance, and self-advocacy; and 3) develop and implement an undergraduate Near-Peer Mentoring program.
