DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine is highly committed towards training and educating underrepresented minority (URM) students in biomedical research. In order to increase the number of these students, we have developed the Penn Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program (Penn PREP), which will function as a bridge between undergraduate and graduate school. The specific aim of this program is to provide a comprehensive training experience that will empower these students to be successful at applying to and succeeding in graduate programs in biomedical research. The Un iversity of Pennsylvania School of Medicine is uniquely situated to provide such a program because of the outstanding infrastructure that already exists through Biomedical Graduate Studies (BGS) for supporting, training, and mentoring biomedical research students, as well as our previous experience at mentoring minority students at all levels. The cornerstone of Penn PREP will be the opportunity to become immersed in first-rate research by undertaking a long-term (one to two-year) research project. PREP scholars will be able to take courses to supplement their undergraduate academic background. All PREP scholars will benefit from courses in biostatisics, writing and public speaking, as well as GRE preparation. PREP scholars will have their own PREP seminar series, in which they will learn to review literature and understand/synthesize research studies. In addition, they will be invited to participate in all other activities that exist for graduate students, including research seminars, symposium, retreats, conferences, and Bioethics training. PREP scholars will be encouraged to present their research at a national science meeting. Mentoring will be provided from a combined effort of faculty, students, and staff. Finally, PREP scholars will be assisted through every step of the graduate school application process. This preparation should provide the Penn PREP scholars with the background and foundation to excel in graduate school and their future careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：宾夕法尼亚大学医学院高度致力于在生物医学研究方面培训和教育代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生。 为了增加这些学生的数量，我们开发了宾夕法尼亚大学学士后研究教育计划（Penn PREP），该计划将充当本科生和研究生院之间的桥梁。 该计划的具体目标是提供全面的培训经验，使这些学生能够成功申请并在生物医学研究研究生课程中取得成功。 宾夕法尼亚大学医学院在提供此类项目方面拥有得天独厚的优势，因为生物医学研究生 (BGS) 已经拥有用于支持、培训和指导生物医学研究学生的出色基础设施，以及我们之前在指导方面的经验各级少数民族学生。 宾夕法尼亚大学 PREP 的基石将是通过开展长期（一到两年）研究项目来沉浸于一流研究的机会。 PREP 学者将能够参加课程来补充他们的本科学术背景。 所有 PREP 学者都将受益于生物统计学、写作和公开演讲以及 GRE 准备课程。 PREP 学者将拥有自己的 PREP 研讨会系列，在其中他们将学习回顾文献并理解/综合研究成果。 此外，他们还将被邀请参加为研究生举办的所有其他活动，包括研究研讨会、专题讨论会、务虚会、会议和生物伦理学培训。 我们将鼓励 PREP 学者在全国科学会议上展示他们的研究成果。 指导将由教师、学生和工作人员共同努力提供。 最后，PREP 学者将在研究生院申请过程的每一步得到帮助。 这种准备应该为宾夕法尼亚大学 PREP 学者提供在研究生院和未来职业生涯中取得优异成绩的背景和基础。
