项目摘要

Project Summary An analysis of the results from the Survey of Earned Doctorates revealed that in 2013, only 4% of those awarded doctoral degrees in the biological / biomedical sciences were Black or African-Americans and 7% were Hispanics or Latinos. For those awarded doctoral degrees in the health sciences, 12% were Black or African-Americans and 4% were Hispanics or Latinos. To address the urgent need to create a diverse biomedical research workforce, the University of Massachusetts Medical School has launched the Pathway to Graduate Study Program in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Our program offers an outstanding opportunity to enhance student academic preparedness and laboratory-based or clinical research experience. The goal of the program is to prepare students so that they are competitive for admission into top-tier graduate programs. This institutionally supported post-baccalaureate training program has met with success. We therefore seek to expand our research education training program with this grant. The goals of our expanded program include: 1) The recruitment of eligible scholars from national and local pools of candidates, resulting in a diverse trainee population with respect to disciplinary perspectives; 2) To provide to PREP scholars strong mentoring teams, academic training tailored to their research goals and tailored to build on previous educational and research experiences; and opportunities to hone technical skills and professional skills (e.g. writing, presentations, time management) necessary to enhance academic preparedness for graduate school; 3) To provide “hands on” research experience embedded within research-intensive UMMS Departments, Centers, and Institutes. Our breadth of mentors, scientific disciplines, and academic programs offers the flexibility to individualize each trainee's experience while providing a strong foundation to increase the likelihood of future academic success. We expect that at least 75% of the PREP scholars will matriculate and successfully complete graduate programs contributing to the diversification of the trainee population, and workforce, in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.

项目摘要对耳朵博士调查的结果的分析，对2013年只有4％授予生物 /生物医学科学的文档学位是黑人或非裔美国人，7％是西班牙裔还是拉丁美洲人，在健康科学中获得的学位，有12％非裔美国人和4％的西班牙裔或拉丁裔是迫切需要创造多样的马萨诸塞大学医学院生物医学研究人员已经启动了通往的途径生物医学研究生院的研究生学习计划。增强学生学术准备和基于工人或电影研究经验的机会。该计划的目的是为学生做好准备，以便他们有竞选级别毕业生的竞争力该研究所支持的课程培训计划已成功因此，寻求通过这笔赠款扩大我们的饱和培训计划。计划包括：1）从国家和当地人的候选人招募合格的学者，导致多样化的受训者人口对纪律观点； 2 学者们强大的指导团队，针对他们的研究目标量身定制的学术培训，并为基础量身定制以前的教育和研究经验；技能（例如写作，演讲，时间管理），以增强学术准备研究生院; 3）提供“动手”的研究经验部门，中心和机构。提供灵活性来个性化每个受训者的经验，同时为增加的基础提供强大的基础未来的学术成功的可能性。并成功完成促进学员人口多元化的研究生课程，并劳动力，在生物医学和行为科学中。
