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）：加州州立大学洛杉矶分校 (Cal State LA) 是一所提供 MS 作为其最高学位的少数族裔机构，在发展少数族裔美国人在生物医学科学领域的职业生涯方面拥有悠久的成功传统，建议更新其成功的生物医学学士后研究教育计划（BIOMED PREP）。拟议和扩大的计划旨在将有能力的少数族裔人才保留在生物医学人力资本管道中，否则他们的能力可能会因生物医学研究而丧失。结果是，该计划的参与者随后将进入主要研究机构攻读博士学位的研究生课程。在第一个资助期内，超过 80% 的参与本科后学生在全国顶尖机构继续攻读生物医学或行为学博士学位课程。我们提议的更新项目以两个重要方式进行扩展：我们将少数族裔 PREP 学者的数量从目前的每年 6 名增加到 12 名，并与两个主要的生物医学研究机构——南加州大学和纽约市合作。霍普/贝克曼 研究所将为我们的学生提供额外的研究培训和教育场所。 12 名 PREP 学者将被加州州立大学洛杉矶分校聘为技术人员，同时通过旨在提高研究技能的学士学位后项目获得职业发展；增强他们在生物医学科学方面的学术背景；将他们融入更广泛的南加州生物医学研究社区；让他们接触广泛的生物医学科学和科学家；并促进他们直接进入博士课程，或在攻读博士学位期间进入硕士课程；并为他们在生物医学领域的成功研究生涯奠定基础。 我们的目标是增加少数族裔博士级生物医学和行为科学家的数量， 人们期望许多人会被激励去解决那些对少数族裔人口造成不成比例影响并导致美国人健康差距的问题。
