PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT California is the most populous state in the nation but, in contrast to the racial and ethnic diversity of the Californian population, the research workforce in the biological science is relatively homogeneous. One of the reasons lies in the limited number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who enter PhD programs. To address this issue, a Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) will be developed at UC Berkeley to provide URM and disabled students, who want to pursue a career in biomedical research, with the intensive research experience and academic enrichment necessary to prepare them successfully for graduate school application and their subsequent careers in academia. The goals of this application are three-fold: (1) P rovide exceptional research opportunities to underrepresented recent college graduates; (2) Establish strong mentoring relationships and community building through a mentoring system providing the trainees with the support network they need to flourish in the program and beyond; and (3) Provide state of the art professional development tools and coaching to support scholars’ development and optimally prepare them to succeed in a biomedical research career. Annual support is sought for 6 “post-bac” students who will be placed in productive research laboratories which are actively funded by federal grants. Throughout the year long program, scholars will participate in enrichment activities including: writing personal statements for graduate applications; mock interviews; assistance in completing graduate applications; GRE Preparation; travel to scientific meetings; and improvement of communication skills. To achieve the success of this program, the Program Directors Prof. Gian Garriga, Associate Dean of Equity and Inclusion in the Biological Sciences, and Dr. Schaletzky, Executive Director of the Center of Emerging and Neglected Diseases (CEND) at UC Berkeley have recruited 38 faculty members to provide, not only intensive laboratory research training, but also relevant professional development guidance. An asset for the program, CEND is known within UC Berkeley for excellence in administration and a commitment to enhancing participation of underrepresented groups in STEM. CEND will bring excellent management and leadership and individual mentoring to the program and also provide a comprehensive career development program, involving individual development plans supported by a variety of career development workshops tailored to participating scholars. We are confident that scholars graduating from this program will be in an excellent position to successfully compete for graduate schools, contributing to equal representation of all groups in STEM and strengthening the innovation capacity of the scientific community in a sustainable fashion.

项目概要/摘要 加利福尼亚州是美国人口最多的州，但与种族和民族多样性形成鲜明对比的是 加利福尼亚州的生物科学研究人员队伍是相对单一的之一。 原因在于进入博士学位的少数族裔（URM）学生数量有限 为了解决这个问题，将实施学士学位后研究教育计划（PREP）。 加州大学伯克利分校开发的项目，旨在为 URM 和想要在以下领域从事职业的残疾学生提供服务： 生物医学研究，具有必要的深入研究经验和学术丰富 为他们成功申请研究生院以及随后在学术界的职业生涯做好准备。 该应用程序的目标有三个：（1）为代表性不足的人提供特殊的研究机会 应届大学毕业生；(2) 通过建立牢固的指导关系和社区建设 指导系统为学员提供他们在项目中蓬勃发展所需的支持网络， 超越；(3) 提供最先进的专业发展工具和辅导，以支持学者的发展 发展并为他们在生物医学研究事业中取得成功做好最佳准备。 寻找 6 名“学士后”学生，他们将被安置在积极开展富有成效的研究实验室中 在为期一年的计划中，学者们将参与强化活动。 活动包括：为毕业生申请撰写个人陈述；协助模拟面试； 毕业生完成申请；GRE 准备；参加科学会议和改进； 沟通技巧。 为了使该项目取得成功，项目主任、副院长 Gian Garriga 教授 生物科学的公平与包容性，以及生物科学中心执行主任 Schaletzky 博士 加州大学伯克利分校新发和被忽视疾病 (CEND) 招募了 38 名教职人员，以提供： 不仅有密集的实验室研究培训，还有相关的专业发展指导。 作为该项目的资产，CEND 在加州大学伯克利分校以其卓越的管理和 致力于加强 CEND 中代表性不足群体的参与将带来卓越的成果。 该计划的管理和领导以及个人指导，并提供全面的 职业发展计划，涉及由各种职业支持的个人发展计划 为参与学者量身定制的发展研讨会我们对毕业生充满信心。 该计划将处于成功竞争研究生院的有利位置，有助于 所有群体在 STEM 中的平等代表性，并加强科学界的创新能力 以可持续的方式社区。
