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致力于培训和教育代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的生物医学研究。 为了增加这些学生的数量，我们已经开发了宾夕法尼亚州后的研究教育计划（Penn Prep），该计划将充当本科和研究生院之间的桥梁。 该计划的具体目的是提供全面的培训经验，该经验将使这些学生能够成功地申请并成功地申请生物医学研究的研究生课程。 宾夕法尼亚州医学学院的联合国知识是为了提供这样一个计划的独特位置，因为出色的基础设施已经通过生物医学研究生研究（BGS）来支持，培训和指导生物医学研究专业的学生，​​以及我们以前在各级指导少数级学生的经验。 Penn Prep的基石将有机会通过长期（一到两年）的研究项目进行一流的研究。 培训学者将能够参加课程来补充其本科学术背景。 所有培训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。 培训学者将拥有自己的预科研讨会系列，他们将学习回顾文学并理解/综合研究。 此外，将邀请他们参加研究生的所有其他活动，包括研究研讨会，研讨会，务虚会，会议和生物伦理学培训。 将鼓励学者在国家科学会议上介绍他们的研究。 指导将由教师，学生和教职员工的共同努力提供。 最后，在研究生院申请过程的每个步骤中，学者将得到协助。 这项准备工作应为宾夕法尼亚大学的学者提供背景和基础，以在研究生院及其未来的职业中表现出色。
