项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To provide deeper and longer exposure of bright, underrepresented minority students to biomedical science, the University of South Carolina has formed a consortium of HBCUs to provide a stream of potential applicants to a proposed new PREP program. The PREP program will increase the level of qualified URM applicants to our graduate programs by offering minority students the opportunity to work full-time in biomedical research laboratories while preparing for Graduate School. The cooperating HBCUs will provide a large pool of students, well educated in the theory of biology but deficient in research exposure. The specific goals of the PREP program are: 1) To recruit qualified underrepresented minorities with a Bachelor's degree in a bio-medically relevant field to participate in active, funded research programs. 2) To improve research skills of PREP scholars through active laboratory participation in a mentored relationship with a faculty member and with graduate students/postdoctoral fellows. 3) To improve the analytical, English and quantitative skills of all students through hands on training, special course offerings (including GRE preparation), and participation in seminars and journal clubs so that all PREP scholars have competitive GRE scores to enter a well-respected graduate program as a doctoral student. 4) To help the students establish relationships among peers and faculty at USC and elsewhere in the research community so that the PREP scholar has well-defined career goals.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了让聪明、代表性不足的少数族裔学生更深入、更长时间地接触生物医学科学，南卡罗来纳大学成立了一个 HBCU 联盟，为拟议的新 PREP 项目提供一系列潜在申请人。 PREP 计划将为少数族裔学生提供在生物医学研究实验室全职工作的机会，同时为研究生院做准备，从而提高合格 URM 研究生课程申请者的水平。合作的 HBCU 将提供大量学生，他们在生物学理论方面受过良好教育，但缺乏研究接触。 PREP 计划的具体目标是： 1) 招募具有生物医学相关领域学士学位的合格的、代表性不足的少数群体，参与活跃的、受资助的研究计划。 2) 通过积极参与实验室并与教职人员和研究生/博士后建立指导关系，提高 PREP 学者的研究技能。 3) 通过实践培训、特殊课程（包括 GRE 准备）以及参加研讨会和期刊俱乐部，提高所有学生的分析、英语和定量技能，使所有 PREP 学者都拥有有竞争力的 GRE 分数，进入受人尊敬的大学作为博士生的研究生课程。 4) 帮助学生在南加州大学和研究界其他地方的同行和教师之间建立关系，以便 PREP 学者有明确的职业目标。
