DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program is designed to provide interim positions for under-represented minority students and students from disadvantaged groups with post- baccalaureate degrees interested in pursuing graduate education. The focus is on research training under a strong research mentor who will provide a supportive laboratory environment to develop the trainee's potential for a career in biomedical research. The Program Director will work with trainees for assignment to mentors according to their stated interests and interviews with faculty they select. Recruitment will be by visiting area minority institutions, national mailings and attendance at national minority conferences, a web site, and contact with students involved in other research training programs at the institution. The program takes advantage of broad, multidisciplinary research activities at Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSM) and the commitment of the Dean of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences to increase diversity. Goals and objectives: 1) increase the number of minority students entering graduate programs at WFUSM from 13% to 18% over five years; 2) maintain retention of minority graduate students comparable to majority students; 3) increase GRE scores of participants to increase their credentials for graduate programs; and 4) have 100% of the participants apply, 75% enter a PhD or MD/PhD program and 60% enter programs at WFUSM. The program includes the opportunity for coursework to strengthen the academic scientific background, based on area of interest and prior strengths and weaknesses. Other courses/information will be provided to improve GRE scores, introduce responsible conduct of science, improve application and resume preparation, and inform on biomedical graduate programs at WFUSM in particular and graduate education in general. We will introduce biomedical research via hands-on participation in a research project and critical scientific evaluation and presentation of journal articles by participation in a journal club. Scientific writing and speaking is developed by writing abstracts and presentation of the research project as a slide and poster presentation each year at the PREP Symposium and lecture. Students will be exposed to research faculty, both basic science and clinical, to foster a long-term commitment to pursue a career in the biomedical sciences through an experience that exemplifies the excitement and challenges of research. Evaluation by students, including former participants, and mentors will be performed annually. This program is a post-baccalaureate research training program designed to provide interim positions for under-represented minority students and students from disadvantaged groups to participate in research projects and academic skills develop to encourage entry into a PhD program.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划旨在为代表性不足的少数族裔学生和来自处于弱势群体的学生提供临时职位，并具有有兴趣追求研究生教育的学士学位。重点是在强大的研究导师下的研究培训上，他们将提供支持性实验室环境，以发展受训者在生物医学研究中的潜力。该计划主管将根据他们选择的兴趣和访谈，与受训者合作，将其分配给导师。招聘将是通过访问地区少数民族机构，全国邮件和参加全国少数民族会议，网站的出勤以及与该机构其他研究培训计划的学生的联系。该计划利用了维克森林大学医学院（WFUSM）的广泛的多学科研究活动，以及艺术与科学研究生院长的承诺，以增加多样性。目标和目标：1）将WFUSM研究生课程的少数族裔学生的人数从五年来从13％增加到18％； 2）维持与多数学生相当的少数族裔研究生的保留； 3）提高参与者的GRE分数以增加研究生课程的资格； 4）有100％的参与者申请，75％的参与者进入博士学位或MD/PHD计划，而60％的参与者在WFUSM上输入计划。该计划包括基于感兴趣的领域以及先前的优势和劣势，进行课程加强学术科学背景的机会。还将提供其他课程/信息，以提高GRE分数，引入负责任的科学行为，改善应用程序和恢复准备，并涉及WFUSM的生物医学研究生课程，尤其是研究生教育。我们将通过动手参与研究项目以及通过参与期刊俱乐部的批判性科学评估以及对期刊文章的批判性科学评估和介绍来介绍生物医学研究。科学写作和口语是通过将研究项目的摘要和介绍作为幻灯片和海报演示来开发的，每年在预科研讨会和讲座上介绍。学生将通过基础科学和临床研究来接触研究教师，以促进长期承诺，致力于通过体验研究的兴奋和挑战，从而从事生物医学科学的职业。包括前参与者在内的学生和导师的评估每年将每年进行。 该计划是一项后核研究培训计划，旨在为弱势群体中代表不足的少数族裔学生和来自处境不利的小组的学生提供临时职位，以参与研究项目和学术技能，以鼓励进入博士学位课程。
