项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) at the University of California Irvine (UCI) aims to increase the pool of admitted underrepresented minority graduate students by encouraging, orienting and better preparing recent baccalaureate recipients during the critical transition from undergraduate work to enrollment in a graduate research doctorate program. The program ultimately aims to produce highly trained investigators to lead research in health problems that disproportionately affect minorities and the medically underserved population. During the course of the program, PREP scholars work as apprentice scientists to acquire advanced research skills and the competitiveness necessary for the successful pursuit of a graduate degree. The program also educates scholars about health disparities among minorities and motivates scholars to pursue research careers in this area. Scholars receive paid research training and practical experience in a faculty mentor's laboratory, undergraduate and graduate coursework, GRE test preparation, training in scientific writing and oral communication as well as opportunities to attend faculty seminars about health disparities and various topics in biomedical sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：加利福尼亚大学欧文分校（UCI）的核后研究教育计划（PREP）旨在通过鼓励，使近期学士学位的接收者在研究生研究中的重要过渡过程中，通过鼓励，取向和更好地准备好学士学位的学士学位，以鼓励，取向和更好地准备学士学位的接受者，从而增加录取不足的少数群体研究生。该计划最终旨在培养训练有素的研究人员，以领导对健康问题的研究，这些研究对少数群体和医疗服务不足的人群不成比例。在该计划的过程中，学者们担任学徒科学家，以获得高级研究技能和成功追求研究生学位所必需的竞争力。该计划还向学者教育少数群体之间的健康差异，并激励学者从事该领域的研究职业。学者在教职导师的实验室，本科和研究生课程，GRE测试准备，科学写作和口头交流的培训以及参加教师研讨会上有关健康状况和生物医学科学主题的教师研讨会的机会。
