Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity: - The Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Program was created in response to a legislative mandate to increase the numbers of underrepresented minority faculty, investigators and students engaged in biomedical and behavioral research, and to broaden the opportunities for underrepresented minority faculty and students for participation in biomedical and behavioral research. To accomplish this goal, the Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD) program seeks to facilitate and promote, at research institutions with significant number of mentors with NIH or other extramural research support, the entry into biomedical or behavioral research fields of undergraduate and graduate students from groups underrepresented in these fields. The Program provides institutional support for existing or innovative student development activities, including research internships, that will increase students' knowledge, skills, and information as they move to! more advanced levels and ultimately attain the Ph.D. degree in biomedical or behavioral research fields. - It is anticipated that approximately $4 million will be available annually to fund eight to ten four-year renewable awards under the NIH institutional education project (R25) award mechanism. - Applications may be submitted by domestic public or non-profit private research institutions that award the baccalaureate, research master's or doctoral degree in biomedical or behavioral science fields with a significant number of full-time matriculated students from groups underrepresented in these fields. - Any individual with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research education program, and who has a regular full-time appointment at the applicant institution may serve as the Principal Investigator. - An IMSD application must include goals and specific measurable objectives, a proposed institutional plan for the development of the student activities and an evaluation plan. - An applicant institution may apply for and hold only one IMSD grant. IMSD grants are renewable. - See Section IV.1 for application materials. - Telecommunications for the hearing impaired is available at TTY 301-451-0088.
