Abstract There is strong evidence for a significant race and gender gap in academia, and first generation graduates face inequity in becoming tenured faculty. Moreover, Kentucky (KY) is a state with a large economically disadvantaged population, including first generation/rural graduates, who are underrepresented in STEM fields. A highly effective approach to remediating the paucity of diversity in STEM is to provide underrepresented students with the tools they need to apply to and succeed in graduate school. The goal of the University of Louisville (UofL) Biomedical Integrative Opportunity for Mentored Experience Development-PREP (UL-BIOMED- PREP) is to train the next generation of underrepresented scientists in STEM fields, including Medicine, Dentistry, Arts and Sciences, and Engineering. UL-BIOMED-PREP is a unique integrated education program among these four schools; it will provide students from Kentucky and surrounding areas who are underrepresented in the STEM fields with extensive mentored development and research opportunities in these disciplines with access to a large array of scientific projects, tailored courses designed to develop skills that will prepare students to successfully apply to and complete graduate school, and cohort-building activities geared toward building resiliency and developing critical thinking and life-long learning skills necessary for becoming a scientific leader. There are currently no PREP programs in Kentucky and this initiative aligns very well with the current strategic plan of UofL to pursue inclusiveness in education. Seven to eight UL-BIOMED-PREP scholars will be recruited from the UofL and regional programs/colleges geared to facilitate achievement of underrepresented students in STEM, with an emphasis on African American and Latino, first generation graduates and economically underserved students from both rural and urban areas in KY. A personal development plan will be developed for each scholar at the start of the program based on individual skills and needs, that will be re-evaluated regularly. An experienced research mentor will be chosen at the end of two laboratory rotations, a research committee assigned to evaluate monthly progress, and a student mentor assigned to provide personalized advising. UL-BIOMED-PREP scholars will present any program outcome regularly at regional/national meetings and via social media. In addition to courses designed to aid in the preparation of graduate school applications and complete graduate school, monthly career development activities will help foster an inclusive community, networking and help scholars develop confidence and a growth mindset. Internal and External Advisory Committees will regularly evaluate the program and provide ongoing feedback that will be used to improve the program. Upon program completion, UL-BIOMED-PREP scholars will possess improved research and analytical skills, a better understanding of graduate school expectations, and the resiliency and self-confidence to handle the challenging demands of graduate school. Our goal is to reach the target of 85% of UL-BIOMED-PREP scholars being admitted and completing graduate school.

抽象的 有充分的证据表明学术界有重大的种族和性别差距，第一代毕业生面临 成为终身教师的不平等。此外，肯塔基州（肯塔基州）是一个经济上庞大的州 不利的人口，包括在STEM领域中人数不足的第一代/农村毕业生。 解决STEM中多样性缺乏的一种高效方法是提供代表性不足 学生使用他们需要申请并在研究生院取得成功的工具。大学的目标 路易斯维尔（UOFL）的生物医学综合机会，用于指导经验发展prep（UL-BIOMED- PREP）是培训下一代人代表性不足的STEM领域的科学家，包括医学， 牙科，艺术和科学以及工程。 UL-BIOMED-PREP是一项独特的综合教育计划 在这四所学校中；它将为来自肯塔基州及周边地区的学生提供 在STEM领域的代表性不足，在这些方面有广泛的指导发展和研究机会 学科可以进入大量科学项目，量身定制的课程，旨在发展技能 为学生准备成功申请并完成研究生院，并构建同时建设活动 旨在建立弹性，发展批判性思维和终身学习技巧，成为成为一个 科学领袖。目前，肯塔基州没有准备计划，该计划与 UOFL的当前战略计划，以追求教育的包容性。七到八个UL-BIOMED-PREP学者 将从UOFL和区域课程/学院招募，以促进实现 STEM的代表性不足，重点是非裔美国人和拉丁裔，第一代 来自肯塔基州农村和城市地区的毕业生和经济不足的学生。个人 在计划开始时，将根据个人技能和 需要，这将定期重新评估。经验丰富的研究导师将在两个结束时选择 实验室轮换，分配每月进度的研究委员会，学生导师 分配提供个性化建议。 UL-BIOMED-PREP学者将提出任何计划结果 定期在区域/国家会议和社交媒体上。除了旨在帮助的课程 准备研究生院申请和完整的研究生院，每月职业发展 活动将有助于建立一个包容性的社区，网络和帮助学者发展信心和增长 心态。内部和外部咨询委员会将定期评估该计划并提供持续的 将用于改进程序的反馈。计划完成后，UL-BIOMED-PREP学者将 具有提高的研究和分析技能，对研究生院期望的更好理解，以及 应对研究生院挑战的要求的弹性和自信。我们的目标是达到 85％的UL-BIOMED-PREP学者被录取并完成研究生院的目标。
