DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program (MCCOM PREP) are to identify and enrich future minority leaders in biomedical research. Our program positively impacts the progression of recent minority college graduates toward careers in disease-oriented basic and translational research. Research at Mayo provides PREP scholars with evidence of the value of their work in the context of a leading academic health sciences center. With this vision, we have found that PREP scholars go on to include research as a component of their professional careers. Qualitative research based on our 10 years of NIH-funded experience with the Initiative to Maximize Student Diversity (IMSD) has revealed common characteristics shared by individuals likely to persist into laboratory research careers. These principles guide selection of our PREP scholars. Funding will allow our successful MCCOM PREP to continue to reach graduating students who wish to pursue PhD or MD/PhD training but require additional research experience and other skills to successfully compete for acceptance into top graduate and professional programs. The MCCOM PREP is intended both for those likely to succeed and those for whom focused enrichment may be truly pivotal in their career trajectories. The MCCOM PREP provides a 1-2 year mentored research experience. A weekly group meeting introduces exercises in oral and written presentation skills (including grant proposal composition), discussions of the graduate admissions process, analysis of current topics, and sessions where URM mentors and near peers from Mayo share life and career experiences. Extensive individualized guidance prepares MCCOM PREP scholars to become future national leaders in biomedical research. Lay description: The Mayo Clinic College of Medicine Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program is an ongoing activity conceived and pioneered 10 years ago at Mayo. The program identifies minority students with the potential for leading careers in scientific research, but who will benefit from 1-2 years of research experience and related academic training prior to entering graduate school. The program includes mentored research, academics, individualized guidance, and weekly group meetings with leaders and peers. All research and training will take place at Mayo Medical Center, Rochester, Minnesota.

描述（由申请人提供）：梅奥诊所医学院学士后研究教育计划 (MCCOM PREP) 的目标是识别和丰富生物医学研究领域未来的少数领导者。我们的项目对近期少数族裔大学毕业生在以疾病为导向的基础和转化研究领域的职业发展产生了积极影响。梅奥的研究为 PREP 学者提供了他们在领先的学术健康科学中心背景下的工作价值的证据。怀着这一愿景，我们发现 PREP 学者继续将研究作为其职业生涯的一部分。 基于 NIH 资助的 10 年学生多样性最大化计划 (IMSD) 经验的定性研究揭示了可能坚持实验室研究职业的个人的共同特征。这些原则指导我们选择 PREP 学者。资金将使我们成功的 MCCOM PREP 能够继续吸引那些希望攻读博士学位或医学博士/博士培训但需要额外研究经验和其他技能才能成功竞争进入顶尖研究生和专业课程的毕业生。 MCCOM PREP 既适合那些可能成功的人，也适合那些那些专注于丰富自己的职业轨迹可能真正至关重要的人。 MCCOM PREP 提供 1-2 年的指导研究经验。每周一次的小组会议介绍口头和书面演讲技巧的练习（包括资助提案的撰写）、研究生招生流程的讨论、当前主题的分析，以及 URM 导师和来自梅奥的同事分享生活和职业经验的会议。广泛的个性化指导使 MCCOM PREP 学者成为未来国家生物医学研究的领导者。 简单描述：梅奥诊所医学院学士后研究教育计划是梅奥 10 年前构思和开创的一项持续活动。该计划识别出有潜力在科学研究领域取得领先地位的少数族裔学生，但他们将在进入研究生院之前从 1-2 年的研究经验和相关学术培训中受益。该计划包括指导研究、学术、个性化指导以及每周与领导者和同行举行的小组会议。 所有研究和培训都将在明尼苏达州罗彻斯特的梅奥医疗中心进行。
