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 false 547413 1285700 THE MISSION OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE STOWERS INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH 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 SEMINARS 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. A CONCURRENT FIFTEEN-WEEK SEMINAR SERIES IS DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NECESSARY PROFICIENCY IN CRITICAL THINKING, READING, AND WRITING. 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 ENTER THEIR THESIS LABS IN JUNE OF THEIR FIRST YEAR AND UNDERGO AN ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE, PERFORMANCE, AND RESEARCH PROGRESS WITHIN THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF THE PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM CULMINATES WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT EACH PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IS ABLE TO IDENTIFY INTERESTING BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS, DEVISE INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES TO THOSE PROBLEMS, AND EXECUTE INVESTIGATIONS USING THE BEST TOOLS AVAILABLE. 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. AFTER A PERIOD OF ORGANIZATION, PREPARATION AND RECRUITMENT, THE FIRST CLASS OF GSSIMR BEGAN THE PH.D. PROGRAM IN AUGUST 2012. AT THE END OF 2019, THE PROGRAM CONSISTED OF EIGHT CLASSES, MADE UP OF 43 PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS WITH VARIOUS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH BACKGROUNDS FROM 14 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. 194134 181289 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. IN 2019, THE STOWERS SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM HAD 30 PARTICIPANTS FROM EIGHT COUNTRIES, REPRESENTED 30 SCHOOLS, AND PERFORMED RESEARCH IN 16 DIFFERENT LABS AT THE STOWERS INSTITUTE. 741547 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false true true false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 5 0 true 55 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 3 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 2.0 48.0 X 0 1704983 64605 DAVID A WELTE SECRETARY 2.0 48.0 X 0 1425034 70740 ROBERT E KRUMLAUF DIRECTOR THRU 07/2019 2.0 42.0 X 0 631407 63105 R SCOTT HAWLEY DEAN EMERITUS AS OF 07/2019 2.0 40.0 X 0 372647 61908 GEORGE SATTERLEE HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER 2.0 40.0 X 0 317237 62088 MATTHEW GIBSON DEAN AS OF 07/2019 2.0 40.0 X 0 273748 68248 SARAH ZANDERS VICE DEAN AS OF 07/2019 2.0 40.0 X 0 166210 48213 ALEJANDRO SANCHEZ ALVA DIRECTOR AS OF 09/2019 2.0 42.0 X 0 154210 16751 SUSAN WEIGEL ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR ADMIN 40.0 0.0 X 113522 0 36847 ANA PEDRAZA ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR ACADMC AFF. 40.0 0.0 X 114112 0 17834 BETTY DREES DIRECTOR & PRESIDENT 8.0 0.0 X X 102931 0 15440 CARL RHODES DIRECTOR 2.0 0.0 X 8000 0 0 PHILIP SILVERMAN DIRECTOR 2.0 0.0 X 6000 0 0 STEVE BELLIS DIRECTOR 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 344565 5045476 525779 3 false true false PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS ADVISORY SER PO BOX 75647 CHICAGO IL 60675 CONSULTING-ACCREDITA 203275 1 569000 569000 PER CAPITA APPROPRIATION FROM SIMR 561000 1285700 1285700 1285700 94303 94303 0 0 0 0 0 2861731 2822995 38736 38736 0 38736 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISSOURI TIMELY FILING DISCOUNT 900099 446 446 446 1988185 1285700 0 133485 X 0 181289 181289 0 0 132371 132371 0 0 713464 272557 440907 0 52877 0 52877 0 122337 71566 50771 0 43381 9133 34248 0 0 3791 3791 0 0 0 0 0 13915 6209 7706 0 5552 2850 2702 0 23470 10644 12826 0 0 0 107849 99302 8547 0 0 73014 70304 2710 0 0 0 0 SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT 16262 12217 4045 0 DUES, SUBS & REGISTRATIONS 15999 0 15999 0 OTHER EXPENSES 5476 5476 1511047 741547 769500 0 0 0 71312 123130 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2530 3884 0 0 5046 5077 0 0 2846419 4724374 0 0 0 0 0 0 1969271 314627 4894578 5171092 331649 131389 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 331649 131389 X 4562929 4749417 0 290286 4562929 5039703 4894578 5171092 477138 -364 X false true X true false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED INTERCOMP.
