DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the UCLA PREP Program is to prepare recent underrepresented minority (URM) baccalaureate recipients for successful entry into and completion of a graduate program in the biomedical sciences. Each PREP Scholar will develop an academic and research plan (Development Plan) to prepare them for admission and success in an appropriate graduate program in consultation with the PREP Program Director. Scholars will devote 75% of their time performing research with an experienced faculty mentor and the remainder to appropriate coursework, workshops, journal club, etc. The specific objectives are: (1) to heighten scholars' interest in a career in biomedical research; (2) to ensure scholars' academic preparation for entry and success in graduate school; (3) to enhance scholars' performance on standardized tests (GRE); (4) to enhance scholars' academic skills essential for success in graduate programs; and (5) to develop scholars' research skills necessary for success in graduate school and a research career. The goal of the PREP Program is consistent with the mission of the University of California - to prepare its graduates for success in life. The focus of the PREP Program is also consistent with UCLA's commitment to increase the diversity of all professions including the scientific workforce. The specific measurable objectives of the UCLA PREP Program are: (1) to enroll 8-10 URM students per year in the PREP Program; (2) to have 80% of PREP Scholars gain admission to competitive graduate programs; (3) to have 40% of PREP Scholars obtain extramural fellowships to support their graduate work; and (4) to have 100% of PREP Scholars entering graduate programs successfully obtain Ph.D. degrees. Because the PREP Program is new, no baseline data exists for the success or failure of such efforts.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学洛杉矶分校 PREP 计划的目标是为最近代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学士学位获得者做好准备，以便成功进入并完成生物医学科学研究生课程。每位 PREP 学者将与 PREP 项目主任协商，制定一份学术和研究计划（发展计划），为他们进入适当的研究生项目并取得成功做好准备。 学者们将投入75%的时间与经验丰富的导师一起进行研究，其余时间用于适当的课程作业、研讨会、期刊俱乐部等。具体目标是：（1）提高学者对生物医学研究职业的兴趣； (2) 确保学者为进入研究生院并取得成功做好学术准备； (3) 提高学者的标准化考试（GRE）成绩； (4) 提高学者在研究生课程中取得成功所必需的学术技能； (5) 培养学者在研究生院和研究生涯中取得成功所必需的研究技能。 PREP 项目的目标与加州大学的使命是一致的——帮助毕业生为人生的成功做好准备。 PREP 计划的重点也与加州大学洛杉矶分校致力于增加包括科学劳动力在内的所有职业多样性的承诺一致。 UCLA PREP 计划的具体可衡量目标是： (1) 每年招收 8-10 名 URM 学生参加 PREP 计划； (2) 让 80% 的 PREP 学者获得竞争性研究生课程的录取； (3) 让 40% 的 PREP 学者获得校外奖学金以支持他们的研究生工作； (4) 100% 进入研究生项目的 PREP 学者成功获得博士学位。度。由于 PREP 计划是新的，因此不存在此类工作成功或失败的基线数据。
