Abstract
Establishing and maintaining student pipelines is an important and challenging endeavor. We discuss how to create an inclusive environment, make connections to build pipelines, and provide continuing maintenance. The emphasis is on pipelines between undergraduate and graduate programs; however, analogous strategies can be employed between high schools and undergraduate programs.

Acknowledgments
The ISIB program has been funded by NIH/NHLBI as both T15 and R25 grants (T15 HL097622-01; T15 HL097622-04; R25 HL131467-01; R25 HL147231-01), and we thank the NIH/NHLBI for their generous support. Dr. Dawson was the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) from 2003 to 2012 and is still actively involved in the ISIB program. Dr. Zamba is the principal investigator of the ISIB program and was the program co-leader with our department head Dr. Kathryn Chaloner from 2007 until her passing in 2014. All faculty in the department, as well as many staff and students, have been actively involved in the recruitment and mentoring efforts described herein. We particularly recognize Ms. Terry Kirk (Graduate Program Coordinator), Dr. Jacob Oleson (current DGS and chair of admissions and recruitment committee), and Dr. Joseph Cavanaugh (current department head) for their efforts over the years. Dr. Brian Smith (UI Professor of Biostatistics) and Dr. Kate Cowles (UI Professor of Statistics and Actuarial Science) were also key to the inception and ongoing development of the ISIB program since the beginning. We especially want to thank so many excellent ISIB and graduate students, as well as their undergraduate mentors, who have helped us attract and recruit new students.
