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. false true 401514 0 1458200 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. PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS PERFORM THESIS RESEARCH IN LABORATORIES WORKING AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF MODERN BIOLOGICAL INQUIRY. IN AN AVERAGE TIME OF FIVE 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 INCLUDING TRANSCRIPTION AND CHROMATIN, DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY, GENOMICS, AND NEUROSCIENCE. 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 CRITICAL THINKING, READING, AND WRITING. 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. AT THE END OF 2020, THE PROGRAM CONSISTED OF 44 PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS WITH VARIOUS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH BACKGROUNDS FROM 13 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. 15 PH.D. DEGREES HAVE BEEN CONFERRED SINCE THE 2016-2017 ACADEMIC YEAR. 5592 0 0 GSSIMR HAS ANOTHER INSTRUCTION PROGRAM KNOWN AS THE STOWERS SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM. THE MISSION OF THE STOWERS SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE AN INVALUABLE LABORATORY EXPERIENCE FOR THOSE SERIOUS 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. BECAUSE OF LABORATORY AND TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS DUE TO COVID-19, THE 2020 STOWERS SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM WAS CANCELLED. 407106 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 10 0 true 51 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 4 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false X KATY GRAHAM 8169264000 1000 E 50TH STREET KANSAS CITY MO 64110 X RODERICK L STURGEON CFO/ TREASURER 2.0 48.0 X 0 1725854 66518 DAVID A WELTE SECRETARY 2.0 48.0 X 0 1426753 72966 R SCOTT HAWLEY FORMER VICE PRESIDENT & DEAN 0.0 40.0 X 0 370653 63771 GEORGE SATTERLEE HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER 2.0 40.0 X 0 316220 63952 STEVE BELLIS DIRECTOR 2.0 40.0 X 0 303020 62848 MATTHEW GIBSON DEAN 2.0 40.0 X 0 273937 69793 SARAH ZANDERS VICE DEAN 2.0 40.0 X 0 166332 49422 ALEJANDRO SANCHEZ ALVARADO DIRECTOR 2.0 42.0 X 0 153798 15703 SUSAN WEIGEL ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR ADMIN 40.0 0.0 X 112869 0 37889 BETTY DREES DIRECTOR & PRESIDENT 8.0 0.0 X X 102744 0 15412 CARL RHODES DIRECTOR 2.0 0.0 X 2000 0 0 PHILIP SILVERMAN DIRECTOR 2.0 0.0 X 2000 0 0 CAROLINE KANE DIRECTOR 2.0 0.0 X 2000 0 0 LOIS NORA DIRECTOR 2.0 0.0 X 2000 0 0 223613 4736567 518274 2 true true false 0 0 PER CAPITA APPROPRIATION FROM SIMR 561000 1458200 1458200 1458200 78149 0 0 78149 0 0 0 0 0 1550000 1489964 60036 60036 60036 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISSOURI TIMELY FILING DISCOUNT 900099 445 445 445 1596830 1458200 0 138630 X 0 0 0 0 213462 213462 0 583795 214456 369339 57224 57224 96436 75253 21183 47778 11695 36083 0 71212 0 71212 0 0 0 0 0 36814 20253 16561 0 6514 4520 1994 36581 29629 6952 0 0 43814 28778 15036 0 15495 15495 0 0 0 0 SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT 5500 3399 2101 DUES, SUBS & REGISTRATIONS 5895 332 5563 OTHER EXPENSES -5371 3296 -8667 1215149 407106 808043 0 0 0 123130 352053 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3884 121 0 0 5077 5120 0 0 4724374 5061520 0 0 0 0 0 0 314627 139008 5171092 5557822 131389 132811 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 131389 132811 X 4749417 5150506 290286 274505 5039703 5425011 5171092 5557822 381681 3627 X false true X true false X 0 0 X PART X, LINE 2: FIN 48 FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTE FROM THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF SIMR AND ITS RELATED ORGANIZATIONS, COLLECTIVELY ("THE INSTITUTE"), OF WHICH GSSIMR IS A SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION, IS AS FOLLOWS: THE INSTITUTE RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS ONLY IF THOSE POSITIONS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT OF BEING SUSTAINED.
