A $3 million grant will help fund a program that Wayne State University students say helps prepare them for careers in research. The National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a five-year grant of more than $3 million to support the Wayne State University Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program. WSU's IMSD program, established in 1978 as the Minority Biomedical Research Support program with NIH support, "aims to provide undergraduate and graduate students with a more personalized experience to foster career development while enhancing persistence and success in science majors."
