项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The UTMB ‘PREPing for SUCCESS’ PREP program is designed to provide promising post-baccalaureate trainees from groups underrepresented in the sciences (underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, socioeconomically disadvantaged students) demonstrating an aptitude for research, with a rigorous and enriching one-year training experience that will enhance their skills and confidence to successfully matriculate into and complete a PhD program. The program provides scholars/trainees with an immersive research experience in a funded top-tier laboratory (75% full-time effort) with development activities (25% full-time effort) that will help them build academic and professional skills, develop a science identity, reinforce the motivation to pursue and obtain a PhD. UTMB’s PREP program will help increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who successfully pursue and complete a PhD in the biomedical sciences, and enter the biomedical research workforce - a benefit expected to heighten our nation’s scientific innovation, discovery and global impact, with outcomes that are more likely to benefit underserved populations. Our recruitment strategy makes use of long-standing partnerships with faculty advisors from minority-serving universities across Texas to identify and attract students with high potential for pursuing a PhD that will benefit from focused research and professional skills development to matriculate into a PhD program. Actively working with our academic partners, 8 students/year will be recruited from a competitive pool of applicants to enroll in the year- long PREP program. The program strategy to reach our goal of > 75% matriculation and graduation rate, includes student-level interventions to develop each individual’s academic and research skills and confidence, as well as interventions designed to reduce external factors that impede success, including enhanced mentor training to optimize mentor-scholar relationships. Scholars will have multiple lines of mentoring and personal counseling. Additional special features of PREP involve the use of an innovative individual student development plan that includes a skills matching workshop to maximize potential for success, the involvement of PREP alumni and graduate students and postdocs from underrepresented groups in the program, training in responsible conduct of research, the ability of scholars to earn a graduate certificate, and continued mentoring beyond the PREP program for enhancing retention. Our goal is that we not only meet, but also exceed, the target of 75% of PREP scholars entering a doctoral program at a top tier research intensive graduate school.

项目概要 UTMB“PREPing for SUCCESS”PREP 计划旨在提供有前途的学士学位后课程来自科学领域代表性不足的群体（代表性不足的少数群体、残疾人、社会弱势学生）表现出研究能力，具有严谨和丰富一年的培训经验，这将增强他们成功入学的技能和信心该计划为学者/学员提供身临其境的研究。在受资助的顶级实验室（75% 全职工作）从事开发活动（25% 全职工作）的经验这将帮助他们培养学术和专业技能，培养科学认同，增强学习的动力攻读并获得博士学位 UTMB 的 PREP 计划将有助于增加来自 UTMB 的学生数量。成功攻读并完成生物医学博士学位并进入生物医学研究人员——预计将提高我们国家的科学创新、发现的效益和全球影响，其结果更有可能惠及服务不足的人群。该战略利用了与来自少数族裔服务大学的教师顾问的长期合作伙伴关系德克萨斯州将识别并吸引具有攻读博士学位潜力的学生，这些学生将受益于专注研究和专业技能发展，以进入我们的博士学位课程。学术合作伙伴，每年将从竞争激烈的申请者库中招募 8 名学生入学 - 长期 PREP 计划旨在实现入学率和毕业率 > 75% 的目标，包括学生层面的干预措施，以发展每个人的学术和研究技能和信心，以及旨在减少阻碍成功的外部因素的干预措施，包括加强导师培训优化导师与学者的关系。学者将获得多方面的指导和个人咨询。 PREP 的其他特色包括使用创新的学生个人发展计划，该计划包括一个技能匹配研讨会，以最大限度地发挥成功的潜力、PREP 校友的参与和来自该计划中代表性不足群体的研究生和博士后，进行负责任行为培训研究的能力、学者获得研究生证书的能力以及 PREP 之外的持续指导我们的目标是不仅达到而且超过 PREP 75% 的目标。进入顶级研究密集型研究生院攻读博士学位的学者。
