项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overall goal of the renewal of the 2017-2022 Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans (LSUHSC- NO) is to enhance the diversity of the BMS research workforce by continuing equitable and expanded access to research skills and training, thereby yielding increased competitiveness, acceptance, and completion of Ph.D. BMS programs by individuals who are underrepresented in science, such as persons from backgrounds that have been historically-excluded, and/or socioeconomically disadvantaged, and/or persons with disabilities. In the U.S. during 2018-2019, 19% of STEM Bachelor’s degrees were conferred to students from groups un- derrepresented in the sciences; while 10% earned Master’s degrees, and only 7% earned a PhD degree. In Louisiana during 2019-2020, 31% of Biological and Biomedical Sciences Bachelor’s degrees were earned by students from groups underrepresented in science, while 18% earned Master’s degrees, and only 6% earned a PhD degree. Sixty-two percent of our former PREP Scholars are currently enrolled in PhD programs. LSUHSC- NO PREP will accept 30 recent eligible baccalaureate science graduates over 5 years for intensive research and innovative academic training experiences to foster success in BMS doctoral degree programs. The PREP will enhance competitiveness for acceptance, retention, and completion of BMS Ph.D. programs by providing: 1) intensive research experiences with committed and funded faculty mentors; and 2) essential skills development training during the 1-yr training. Solid foundations in research skills will be provided by the following: 1) concen- trated education in scientific critical thinking, analysis of results using statistics, and writing; 2) inventive and personalized test-taking skills to improve GRE scores and success in graduate courses; 3) experience in oral and poster scientific presentations; 4) training in responsible and ethical conduct in research, rigor, and repro- ducibility; and 5) writing a personal statement, selecting, applying, and interviewing for graduate schools. Schol- ars will participate in weekly skills and career development workshops hosted by PREP faculty, internal and external scientists; join graduate students in skills development programs, courses, and seminars; present their research at the annual PREP symposium and local and national scientific conferences; mentor summer research fellows; assist in community science education programs; and participate in community outreach. Thirty-six LSU- HSC-NO active research faculty, committed to the PREP, have extensive experience in mentoring high school, undergraduate, medical, predoctoral, and postdoctoral students representing students underrepresented in the BMS through NIH R01, P20, T32, R25, R35, and other funding mechanisms. Scholar recruitment efforts will extend to 4 local historically black colleges and 2 state universities, to develop a community-wide mechanism to support the BMS workforce. The program will be evaluated using formative and summative methodologies & quantitative and qualitative statistics to document success.

项目概要/摘要更新2017-2022学士后研究教育计划（PREP）的总体目标新奥尔良路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心 (LSUHSC-) 生物医学科学 (BMS) NO）是通过继续公平和扩大获得研究人员的机会来增强 BMS 研究人员的多样性研究技能和培训，从而提高竞争力、接受度和完成博士学位。 BMS 计划由在科学领域代表性不足的个人实施，例如来自以下背景的人历史上被排除在外的人、和/或处于社会弱势地位的人、和/或残疾人。 2018-2019 年期间，美国 19% 的 STEM 学士学位被授予来自非以下群体的学生：科学领域的比例较低；而 10% 的人获得了硕士学位，只有 7% 的人获得了博士学位。 2019-2020 年路易斯安那州 31% 的生物和生物医学科学学士学位由来自科学领域代表性不足群体的学生，18% 获得了硕士学位，只有 6% 获得了硕士学位 62% 的前 PREP 学者目前正在攻读 LSUHSC- 博士学位。 NO PREP 将接受 30 名最近符合资格的科学学士学位毕业生，为期 5 年以上，进行深入研究和创新的学术培训经验，以促进 BMS 博士学位课程的成功。通过提供以下内容来提高 BMS 博士课程的接受、保留和完成的竞争力：1) 与忠诚且受资助的教师导师一起进行深入的研究经验；2）基本技能的发展；在为期一年的培训中，将通过以下内容提供扎实的研究技能基础：1）集中精力。科学批判性思维、统计结果分析和写作方面的教育；2) 创造性和写作；个性化的考试技巧，以提高 GRE 成绩和研究生课程的成功 3) 口语经验；和海报科学演示；4）在研究、严谨性和再现方面负责任和道德行为的培训； 5）撰写个人陈述，选择、申请和面试研究生院。 ars 将参加由 PREP 教员、内部和外部人员主办的每周技能和职业发展研讨会外部科学家；与研究生一起参加技能发展计划、课程和研讨会；在年度 PREP 研讨会以及地方和国家科学会议上进行研究；导师夏季研究；研究员；协助社区科学教育计划；并参与社区外展活动。 HSC-NO 活跃的研究教师致力于 PREP，在指导高中、代表在该领域代表性不足的学生的本科生、医学生、博士生和博士后学生 BMS 将通过 NIH R01、P20、T32、R25、R35 和其他资助机制开展学者招募工作。扩展到 4 所当地历史悠久的黑人学院和 2 所州立大学，建立一个社区范围的机制支持 BMS 员工队伍。该计划将使用形成性和总结性方法进行评估。定量和定性统计数据来记录成功。
