项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The minority population in Texas surpassed the non-Anglo population in 2004, and is projected to increase substantially in the coming years. Projections for educational attainment in these ethnic populations, historically low because of socioeconomic and other factors, suggest continued disparity among minorities for college, graduate and professional school enrollment. Entry of underrepresented minority students into doctoral study in the biomedical sciences in Texas, and indeed, in the nation, remains low despite population changes in Texas, the second most populous in the country. There is an urgent need to train an increased number of health professionals, including biomedical scientists, to serve the minority population in Texas in the near future. UNTHSC is a leader among the health science centers in Texas in training minority biomedical scientists. We have developed an integrated plan to increase the number of minorities in biomedical research. The goal of our Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program and Retention Enhancement (PREPARE) program is to provide underrepresented minority individuals who have received undergraduate degrees in science a challenging, focused post-baccalaureate experience that will prepare them for acceptance into doctoral programs and allow them to successfully complete these programs, thus obtaining their doctoral degrees. We have developed the following measurable objectives along with a detailed evaluation plan: 1. Recruitment/Matriculation. The PREPARE Program will maintain ten post-baccalaureate trainees with an estimated five new trainees admitted each year. 2. Research Experience. PREP trainees will participate in frontline research in biomedical sciences under the mentorship of outstanding faculty. 3. GRE Preparation. PREP trainees will be given training to improve their GRE scores. 4. Academic Preparedness. PREP trainees will receive a thorough academic preparation program that provides the tools for success in a doctoral program in biomedical sciences. 5. Didactic Exposure. PREP trainees will receive coursework to prepare for the rigors of graduate education in biomedical sciences. 6. Graduate School Admission. A high percentage of PREP trainees (at least 80%) will enter doctoral level programs in biomedical sciences. In order to achieve these objectives in the award period, we have developed detailed plans for training, mentoring and evaluation as described in the application. Our expectations are that the PREPARE program will increase the number of minority students entering PhD programs in the biomedical sciences area, increase student retention in the PhD programs through the academic and laboratory preparation provided to the PREP trainees, and result in increased number of minority PhDs in biomedical sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）： 2004 年，德克萨斯州的少数族裔人口超过了非盎格鲁人人口，预计未来几年将大幅增加。由于社会经济和其他因素，这些族裔人口的受教育程度预测历来较低，这表明少数族裔在大学、研究生和职业学校入学方面仍然存在差距。尽管得克萨斯州是美国第二大人口大国，但人口数量发生了变化，在德克萨斯州甚至全国范围内，进入生物医学科学博士学位的少数族裔学生的入学率仍然很低。迫切需要培训更多的卫生专业人员，包括生物医学科学家，以便在不久的将来为德克萨斯州的少数民族人口提供服务。 UNTHSC 是德克萨斯州健康科学中心中培训少数族裔生物医学科学家的领导者。我们制定了一项综合计划，以增加生物医学研究中少数群体的数量。我们的学士后研究教育计划和保留增强 (PREPARE) 计划的目标是为已获得科学本科学位的少数族裔提供具有挑战性、重点突出的学士后经历，为他们接受博士课程做好准备，并让他们能够成功完成这些课程，从而获得博士学位。我们制定了以下可衡量的目标以及详细的评估计划： 1. 招聘/入学。 PREPARE 计划将保留 10 名学士学位后学员，估计每年录取 5 名新学员。 2.研究经历。 PREP学员将在优秀教师的指导下参与生物医学科学的前沿研究。 3. GRE准备。 PREP 学员将接受培训以提高 GRE 成绩。 4. 学业准备。 PREP 学员将接受全面的学术准备计划，为生物医学博士课程的成功提供工具。 5. 教学暴露。 PREP 学员将接受课程作业，为严格的生物医学研究生教育做好准备。 6. 研究生入学。很高比例的 PREP 学员（至少 80%）将进入生物医学科学博士级别课程。为了在奖励期内实现这些目标，我们制定了申请中所述的详细培训、指导和评估计划。我们的期望是，PREPARE 计划将增加进入生物医学科学领域博士课程的少数族裔学生数量，通过为 PREPAR 学员提供学术和实验室准备，提高博士课程的学生保留率，并导致少数族裔博士人数的增加在生物医学科学中。
