Louisiana State University is one of a select group of universities in the United States to establish an Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program.
The IMSD program has been supported since 2004 by the National Institutes of Health.


The mission of the IMSD Program at LSU is to provide a diverse group of graduate and undergraduate students
in the biomedical or behavioral sciences, research training, academic development, and career opportunities,
while enhancing diversity in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.

Our vision is to consistently produce graduates that rank among the most highly talented, motivated and
productive research scientists in the nation. The LSU IMSD Scholars pursue successful research careers and
leadership positions, and are among the most sought-after candidates nationwide for entrance
into Ph.D. or post-Ph.D. Programs.

Now accepting applications for Spring 2015!!!
