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）：UCLA Prep计划的目标是准备最近代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学士学位的接受者，以成功进入和完成生物医学科学的研究生计划。每个预科学者将制定一项学术和研究计划（发展计划），以便与PREP计划主任协商合适的研究生计划的入学和成功。 学者们将在经验丰富的教师导师和其余的时间进行研究的时间中，将有75％的时间用于适当的课程，讲习班，期刊俱乐部等。具体目标是：（1）增强学者对生物医学研究职业的兴趣； （2）确保学者在研究生院的入学和成功的学术准备； （3）增强学者在标准化测试（GRE）上的表现； （4）增强学者在研究生课程中取得成功至关重要的学术技能； （5）发展学者在研究生院和研究职业中取得成功所必需的研究技能。预备计划的目标与加利福尼亚大学的使命一致，以准备毕业生的生活成功。 PREP计划的重点也与UCLA致力于增加包括科学劳动力在内的所有行业的多样性的承诺。 UCLA准备计划的特定可测量目标是：（1）每年将8-10名URM学生录入PREP计划； （2）让80％的培训学者获得竞争性研究生课程的入学； （3）让40％的培训学者获得壁外研究金，以支持其研究生工作； （4）让100％进入研究生课程的学者成功获得博士学位。学位。由于PREP计划是新的，因此没有基线数据存在此类努力的成功或失败。
