DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of Mount Sinai School of Medicine's Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP), for which renewed support is sought, are to: (i) increase enrollment of under-represented minority (URM) PhD and MD-PhD students in our own graduate programs and in other excellent programs. The longer-term goal is to contribute to greater URM participation in biomedical research careers at a high level of achievement. We will demonstrate to recent URM college graduates that a career in biomedical research is an exciting and achievable choice for them. The central activity in this demonstration is a cutting-edge mentored research experience, supplemented critically by special seminars, works-in-progress, journal clubs and opportunities to attend meetings, (ii) enhance PREP scholars' ability to succeed and, in significant numbers, to excel when they enter pre-doctoral programs. To achieve this, PREP scholars with be given the chance to adjust to a Graduate School/Medical Center environment as part of the supportive PREP mini-community and become full participants in the larger academic community before undertaking a full pre-doctoral course-load. PREP scholars will also have the option of taking or auditing appropriate course-work to experience the challenge of pre-doctoral academic work with a single course at a time and, when they succeed, gain confidence as well as a "leg-up" with respect to the requirements of their next program. An array of individualized development activities will enhance the skills of each PREP scholar from their own starting points, (iii) foster later participation in translational research and reduction of health care disparities by bringing them into the intense institutional efforts in these arenas as participants and/or learners. Mount Sinai's PREP will build on the success of its first 4 years during which a large majority of the first 17 PREP scholars to complete PREP entered doctoral programs; 13 of the 17 scholars entered PhD (11) or MD-PhD (2) programs and are progressing strongly, with one more now applying to PhD programs. To further enhance this success and foster an even deeper engagement with issues of health and health care disparities, we will refine the Program elements, will carefully monitor the long-term success of the Program and evaluate the contribution of specific Program elements by collecting and analyzing both short- and longterm outcomes data.

描述（由申请人提供）：西奈山医学院后的学院后研究教育计划（PREP）的目标，为此寻求新的支持，是：（i）增加代表性不足的少数群体（URM）博士学位和MD-PHD学生的入学率。长期目标是在高水平的成就中为更大的URM参与生物医学研究职业。我们将向最近的URM大学毕业生证明，生物医学研究的职业对他们来说是一个令人兴奋的和可实现的选择。该演示中的核心活动是一种尖端的指导研究经验，由特殊的研讨会，过程中的工作，期刊俱乐部和参加会议的机会进行批判性补充，（ii）增强了培训学者在输入博览会前计划时取得成功的能力，并具有重要的数量。为了实现这一目标，有机会有机会适应研究生院/医学中心环境，作为支持性的小型社区的一部分，并在进行完整的博学前课程之前，成为更大的学术界的正式参与者。培训学者还可以选择或审核适当的课程工作，以一门课程的一门课程来体验博士前学术工作的挑战，并且在成功时，就下一个计划的要求获得了信心以及“腿部”。一系列个性化的发展活动将从自己的起点从自己的起点提高每个预科学者的技能，（iii）随后促进了转化研究和减少医疗保健差异，通过将它们带入参与者和/或学习者中的这些领域的强烈机构努力。 西奈山的准备将建立在最初4年的成功基础上 17名预科学者完成了预先进入的博士课程； 17名学者中有13个进入了博士学位（11）或MD-PHD（2）计划，并且进步很强，现在另外一名适用于博士学位课程。为了进一步增强这一成功并促进与健康和医疗保健差异问题更深入的参与，我们将完善计划要素，将仔细监控该计划的长期成功，并通过收集和分析短期和长期结果数据来评估特定计划元素的贡献。
