Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD)(R25)
PAR-09-104
URL for complete guidelines: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-09-104.html
Brief Description:
Both IUPUI and IUB have current IMSD grants, therefore IU is ineligible this year.
The Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Program was created in response to a legislative mandate of increasing the numbers of underrepresented (UR) faculty, investigators and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, and to broaden the opportunities for their participation in biomedical and behavioral research. To accomplish this goal, the Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program provides institutional grants to establish research training programs at institutions with research intensive environments that will increase the preparation and skills of UR students in the biomedical and behavioral sciences as they academically advance in the pursuit of the Ph.D. degree in these fields.
Purpose The goal of the IMSD Program is to increase the number of students from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences that complete the Ph.D. degree in these fields at institutions with research intensive environments.
