3 National Institute of General Medical Sciences NIGMS (NIGMS) Supports programs that foster research training and the development of a highly trained and diverse biomedical and behavioral research workforce. Ins;tute funds research training, career development, diversity and capacity- building ac;vi;es through a variety of programs at the undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral and faculty levels. 3

4 NIGMS Divisions 4 Research Divisions: Biomedical Technology, Bioinformatics, & Computational Biology (BBCB) Cell Biology and Biophysics (CBB) Genetics and Developmental Biology (GDB) Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biological Chemistry (PPBC) 1 Training Division: Training Workforce Development and Diversity (TWD) 4

5 NIGMS Training Strategic Plan Theme 4: Diversity is an indispensable component of research training excellence, to be advanced across the entire research enterprise. Champion and articulate the societal benefits of a diverse biomedical workforce that mirrors the diversity of the U.S. population. Establish and apply high standards for institutions to actively recruit, effectively mentor and diligently nurture students through the completion of their programs. Assure that potential trainees are evaluated in an unbiased and inclusive manner. Encourage institutions to examine their own demographic and performance data on trainees. 5

7 Bridges to the Baccalaureate (R25) Objective: Improve the rate of students from underrepresented groups completing baccalaureate degrees in biomedical or behavioral science. Strategy: Support of comprehensive student development programs through institutional partnerships. Explicit Partners: 2 year colleges and B.S. granting institutions. Program Director: Michelle Hamlet, Ph.D. 7

8 MARC U-STAR Training Grant (T34) Objective: Increase the pool of honors students from underrepresented groups in biomedical sciences with the academic and research skills to succeed in Ph.D. programs. Strategy: Support institutional programs of academic and research training that support undergrardute students. Explicit Partners: MARC Institutions partner with Research Intensive Institutions. Program Director: Shawn Gaillard, Ph.D. 8

9 RISE (R25) Objective: Increase the number of students from underrepresented groups in biomedical and behavioral sciences completing doctorate degrees. Strategy: Support institutions that enroll students from UR groups that provide developmental activities designed to strengthen academic, research, and professional skills. Implicit Partners: Institutions with significant UR enrollment may partner with Institutions with active research and training programs. Program Director: Robin Broughton, Ph.D. 9
