DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): California State University Los Angeles (Cal State LA), a minority institution offering the MS as its highest degree, and with a long tradition of success in developing the careers of minority Americans in the biomedical sciences, proposes to renew its successful Biomedical Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program (BIOMED PREP). The proposed and expanded program seeks to keep in the biomedical human capital pipeline the talents of capable minority individuals whose abilities might otherwise be lost to biomedical research. The result is that the participants in this program will subsequently enter graduate programs leading to the PhD at major research institutions. In the first grant period, over 80% of participating post-baccalaureate students proceeded to biomedical or behavioral PhD programs at top institutions nationwide. The project we propose for renewal is expanded in two significant ways: we will increase the number of minority PREP Scholars from the current six to 12 per year, and by partnering with two major biomedical research institutions, the University of Southern California and The City of Hope/Beckman Research Institute, will provide additional research training and education sites for our students. The 12 PREP Scholars will be employed as technicians by Cal State LA while undergoing career advancement through a post-baccalaureate program designed to increase their research skills; enhance their academic background in the biomedical sciences; integrate them into the broader Southern California biomedical research community; expose them to a broad range of biomedical sciences and scientists; and enhance their entry directly into PhD programs, or to MS programs en route to the PhD; and establish the foundation for their successful research careers in the biomedical sciences. We aim to increase the number of minority PhD-level biomedical and behavioral scientists, with the expectation that many will be motivated to work on those problems that disproportionately affect minority populations and have resulted in health disparities among Americans.

描述（由申请人提供）：加利福尼亚州立大学洛杉矶（Cal State La）是少数族裔机构，将MS作为最高程度，并且在生物医学科学领域培养少数美国人的职业方面具有悠久的成功传统，旨在更新其成功的生物医学后生物医学后研究后的研究教育计划（Biomed Prep）。拟议的和扩展的计划旨在保留生物医学人力资本管道的能力，否则他们的能力可能会失去生物医学研究。结果是该计划的参与者将随后进入研究生课程，从而在主要研究机构获得博士学位。在第一个赠款时期，超过80％的参与后的后学生在全国顶级机构开始了生物医学或行为博士学位计划。我们提出的更新项目的扩展有两种重要的方式：我们将每年将少数群体学者的数量从目前的六个增加到12个，并与两个主要的生物医学研究机构合作，南加州大学和霍普/贝克曼市 研究所将为我们的学生提供其他研究培训和教育地点。 Cal State La将通过一项旨在提高其研究技能的后掌la饮料计划，在实现职业发展的同时，将受雇12名培训。增强他们在生物医学科学方面的学术背景；将它们整合到更广泛的南加州生物医学研究界；将它们暴露于广泛的生物医学科学和科学家中；并在进入博士学位的途中直接提高他们进入博士学位课程或MS计划；并为其在生物医学科学中成功的研究职业建立基础。 我们旨在增加少数族裔博士学位生物医学和行为科学家的数量， 期望许多人会促使许多问题处理那些不成比例的问题，并导致美国人的健康差异。
