RESEARCHERS IN GSSIMR PROGRAMS COME FROM MULTIFACETED DOMESTIC US AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES. Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE STOWERS INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH ("GSSIMR") IS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("CODE") AND FURTHER DESCRIBED AS AN EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 170(b)(1)(A)(ii) OF THE CODE. GSSIMR PROVIDES GRADUATE EDUCATION RELATING TO MEDICAL OR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH WITH AN EMPHASIS ON INNOVATIVE RESEARCH TECHNIQUES IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES. GSSIMR OFFERS A RESEARCH BASED PH.D. IN BIOLOGY AND OTHER INSTRUCTION PROGRAMS. GSSIMR IS COMMITTED TO CREATING A WELCOMING AND INCLUSIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL AND CONTINUALLY STRIVES TO CREATE A CULTURE WHERE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS HAVE EQUAL ACCESS AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION THE MISSION OF GSSIMR IS TO PREPARE A SUPERB CADRE OF PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR THE PURSUIT OF INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE INVESTIGATIONS IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES. ALL SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS SHARE A DEMONSTRATED ABILITY TO PERFORM BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH, AS EVIDENCED BY PREVIOUS RESEARCH EXPERIENCE. THE PROGRAM FOCUSES ON EXTENDING THE ABILITY OF PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS THROUGH HANDS-ON LABORATORY EXPERIENCE THAT STRESSES HIGHLY CRITICAL THINKING IN COMBINATION WITH IN-DEPTH EXPERIENCE IN THE LATEST METHODOLOGIES AND APPROACHES. PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS PERFORM THESIS RESEARCH IN LABORATORIES WORKING AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF MODERN BIOLOGICAL INQUIRY. IN AN AVERAGE TIME OF SIX YEARS FROM MATRICULATION, PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND EXECUTE A RESEARCH PROJECT THAT ADDRESSES A SIGNIFICANT BIOLOGICAL QUESTION, WHICH WILL RESULT IN A PH.D. IN BIOLOGY. THE PROGRAM OF GSSIMR STRESSES CRITICAL THINKING AND THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL PROWESS, INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL DIDACTIC COURSEWORK. IN AUGUST, THE PREDOCTORAL RESEARCH PROGRAM STARTS WITH A SERIES OF SEVEN INTENSIVE ALL-DAY MODULAR COURSES WITH TOPICS RANGING FROM GENE EXPRESSION TO DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION AND MODEL SYSTEMS. THE MODULES INCLUDE SIGNIFICANT LAB WORK, AS WELL AS LECTURES AND CRITICAL READING AND DISCUSSION OF RELEVANT PAPERS. IN SPRING OF THEIR FIRST YEAR, PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS ENGAGE IN THREE CONSECUTIVE TWO-MONTH ROTATIONS IN LABS OF THEIR CHOICE. UNDISTRACTED BY TRADITIONAL COURSEWORK, EXPECTATIONS ARE EXTREMELY HIGH FOR PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS TO FOCUS ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY ON A SHORT-TERM RESEARCH PROJECT. PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS ALSO PARTICIPATE IN A FIFTEEN-WEEK COURSE THAT IS DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NECESSARY PROFICIENCY IN SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION. PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS ENTER THEIR THESIS LABS IN JUNE OF THEIR FIRST YEAR AND UNDERGO AN ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE, PERFORMANCE, AND RESEARCH PROGRESS WITHIN THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF THEIR THESIS RESEARCH. UPON COMPLETION OF THEIR RESEARCH PROJECTS, PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY INTERESTING BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS, DEVISE AND CREATE INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES TO THOSE PROBLEMS, AND EXECUTE INVESTIGATIONS USING THE BEST TOOLS AVAILABLE. PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS ARE EXPECTED TO DEMONSTRATE PROFICIENCY IN THE CORE COMPETENCIES BY THE END OF THEIR PROGRAM. THE COMPLETION OF A BODY OF RESEARCH THAT ADDRESSES A SIGNIFICANT BIOLOGICAL PROBLEM AND IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN AT LEAST ONE PUBLICATION IN A HIGH-IMPACT JOURNAL IS REQUIRED FOR THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE PH.D. RESEARCH PROGRAM. THE PUBLICATION FORMS THE MAIN BODY OF A THESIS. A DETAILED LITERATURE REVIEW PRECEDES THE THESIS AND A DISCUSSION OF THE POSSIBLE NEXT STEPS IN THE RESEARCH FOLLOWS THE THESIS. PRESENTATION OF AN OPEN SEMINAR ALSO IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE RESEARCH PROGRAM. GSSIMR ADMITTED ITS FIRST CLASS TO BEGIN THE PH.D. PROGRAM IN AUGUST 2012 AND HAS ADMITTED A NEW CLASS EACH AUGUST. AS OF JUNE 30, 2023, THE PROGRAM CONSISTED OF 37 PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS WITH VARIOUS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH BACKGROUNDS FROM 12 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. 29 PH.D. DEGREES HAVE BEEN CONFERRED SINCE THE 2016-2017 ACADEMIC YEAR. Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION GSSIMR HAS AN INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM KNOWN AS THE STOWERS SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM. THE MISSION OF THE STOWERS SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE AN INVALUABLE LABORATORY EXPERIENCE FOR UNDERGRADUATE SCIENCE SCHOLARS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT GRADUATE SCHOOL AND A FUTURE IN ACADEMIC RESEARCH. EACH SCHOLAR PARTICIPATING IN THE STOWERS SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM WORKS ON AN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH PROJECT. THE PROGRAM OFFERS SCHOLARS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME IMMERSED IN A RESEARCH TOPIC FOR A FULL-TIME EIGHT-WEEK PERIOD. STOWERS SCHOLARS HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO INTERACT AND COLLABORATE WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THEIR LABORATORY AND THE STOWERS COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. IN THIS WAY, STOWERS SCHOLARS EXPERIENCE NOT ONLY THE INTELLECTUAL BUT ALSO THE COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT OF RESEARCH. IN ADDITION, STOWERS SCHOLARS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH THE LATEST TECHNIQUES IN LABORATORIES AND SUPPORTING CORE CENTERS, WHICH ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. STOWERS SCHOLARS SPEND THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEIR TIME IN THE LABORATORY. ALL SCHOLARS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND WEEKLY SCIENTIFIC SEMINARS ON AN ARRAY OF RESEARCH TOPICS. OTHER ACTIVITIES INCLUDE A WEEKLY LUNCH WHERE SCHOLARS HEAR PRESENTATIONS BY STOWERS SCIENTISTS, SHARE IDEAS, AND DISCUSS INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS AND EXPERIMENTS. AT THE COMPLETION OF THE PROGRAM, SCHOLARS PRESENT THEIR WORK IN AN ALL-INSTITUTE POSTER SESSION. IN 2023, THE STOWERS SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM HAD 21 PARTICIPANTS FROM SEVEN COUNTRIES, REPRESENTED 21 SCHOOLS, AND PERFORMED RESEARCH IN 14 DIFFERENT LABS AT THE STOWERS INSTITUTE. Form 990, Part III, Line 4c PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION GSSIMR HAS AN ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM, STOWERS RESEARCH SCHOLARS, A MENTORED ONE-YEAR POSTBACCALAUREATE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP IN LABS AT THE STOWERS INSTITUTE. THROUGH GUIDED RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AND ACADEMIC CAREER MENTORING, THIS PROGRAM AIMS TO BROADEN PARTICIPATION IN BASIC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND PREPARE PARTICIPANTS FOR ADVANCEMENT INTO SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH CAREERS. STOWERS RESEARCH SCHOLARS ARE ELIGIBLE TO ACCESS COURSES AND PROGRAMMING ASSOCIATED WITH THE GSSIMR PH.D. PROGRAM. IN ADDITION, RESEARCH SCHOLARS HAVE ACCESS TO CAREER DEVELOPMENT COUNSELING AND GRADUATE SCHOOL APPLICATION MENTORING FROM GSSIMR STAFF. THE PROGRAM REQUIRES PARTICIPANTS TO DEMONSTRATE A PASSION FOR BASIC BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES AND HAVE RECEIVED A BA OR BS DEGREE IN A STEM FIELD. FOR THE 2022-2023 PROGRAM YEAR, THE PROGRAM HAD TWO PARTICIPANTS PERFORMING RESEARCH IN TWO DIFFERENT LABS AT THE STOWERS INSTITUTE. Form 990, Part III, Line 4d PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION GSSIMR HAS ANOTHER INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM, POSTDOCEDGE. POSTDOCEDGE IS A RIGOROUS, FIVE-YEAR POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING PROGRAM DESIGNED TO PREPARE AND POSITION POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS FOR SUCCESSFUL INDEPENDENT SCIENTIFIC CAREERS. THE INSTITUTE'S STRONG TRADITION OF VALUING CURIOSITY-DRIVEN SCIENCE AFFORDS POSTDOCS AN UNMATCHED RANGE OF RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES TO ASK BOLD QUESTIONS AND ADVANCE THE FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE CRITICAL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE BIOLOGICAL BASIS OF BOTH HEALTH AND DISEASE. WORKING IN THE LAB OF A HIGHLY DISTINGUISHED STOWERS INVESTIGATOR AND GUIDED BY TEAMS OF SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS, POSTDOCS ARE EXPECTED TO LEVERAGE COMPREHENSIVE AND UNPARALLELED SUPPORT TO PERFORM RIGOROUS, IMPACTFUL RESEARCH AT THE FOREFRONT OF THEIR FIELDS.
