Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity at UNC Chapel Hill

The Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD) is an educational research grant awarded to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), National Institutes of Health (NIH). The primary goal of this initiative is to increase the number of underrepresented student populations that attain PhDs and successful careers in biomedical research and biostatistics.

Through admission via the BBSP program, IMSD graduate students interested in pursuing a PhD in the biomedical sciences can select from over 400 research labs and 14 doctoral programs to conduct their dissertation research.

Through admission to the Department of Biostatistics in the School of Public Health, IMSD graduate students interested in pursuing a PhD in biostatistics apply innovative statistical methods to problems of human health and disease, including basic medical sciences.
