项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is imperative that diverse populations of individuals engage in scientific research. However, there are a number of targeted populations that are not adequately represented in graduate schools and involved in biomedical research. The objective of the PREP is to guide individuals, from underrepresented groups and who have baccalaureate degrees, into graduate school to pursue biomedical research. Students will be selected from individuals who have graduated within the past 36 months and have indicated a strong desire to pursue a PhD. We outline in our five AIMs a plan to select and train 10 individuals a year from the defined targeted groups. The specific goals of PREP at the University of Pennsylvania are to provide skills necessary to be successful in graduate school, research experience through an Individual Student Development Plan (IDP). The PREP and IDP is based on the success of our program over the past 4 years as well as feedback from our students and mentors. Specifically we will help each scholar enrich their skills necessary to be successful in the application process for graduate school through GRE course, seminars on oral and written presentation skills, and an enriched experience in a graduate research laboratory. In addition, the students will be provided training in scientific integrity and ethics in the conduct of research. We will plan a supportive and nurturing environment that is distinct to each PREP scholar. For each person enrolled in the PREP program, we will develop an Individual Student Development Plan (IDP). Finally, we will support the application process to doctoral programs. The students are also encouraged to attend a conference. Conferences provide an excellent opportunity for students to meet faculty members from graduate schools. We will provide advice and direct support for the application process to graduate school such as selection of graduate schools, advice on graduate school essays, and mock interviews. Public Health Relevance Statement: There exist disparities in health care. Diversity is critical to approaching health care from different perspective and eliminating these disparities. Increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in biomedical research provides the underpinning to advances in health care. Underrepresented minority students are lost at many transition steps on the pathway towards a research career. One of these steps is the transition between undergraduate and graduate education.

描述（由申请人提供）：不同人群参与科学研究势在必行。然而，有一些目标人群在研究生院和生物医学研究中没有得到充分的代表。 PREP 的目标是引导来自代表性不足群体和拥有学士学位的个人进入研究生院进行生物医学研究。学生将从过去 36 个月内毕业并表现出攻读博士学位强烈愿望的个人中挑选。我们在五个 AIM 中概述了每年从既定目标群体中选择和培训 10 名人员的计划。宾夕法尼亚大学 PREP 的具体目标是通过个人学生发展计划 (IDP) 提供在研究生院取得成功所需的技能和研究经验。 PREP 和 IDP 基于我们过去 4 年项目的成功以及我们学生和导师的反馈。具体来说，我们将通过 GRE 课程、口头和书面演讲技巧研讨会以及研究生研究实验室的丰富经验，帮助每位学者丰富成功申请研究生院所需的技能。此外，还将为学生提供研究过程中科学诚信和道德方面的培训。我们将为每位 PREP 学者设计一个独特的支持和培育环境。对于参加 PREP 计划的每个人，我们都会制定一份学生个人发展计划 (IDP)。最后，我们将支持博士课程的申请过程。还鼓励学生参加会议。会议为学生提供了与研究生院教师见面的绝佳机会。我们将为研究生院的申请过程提供建议和直接支持，例如研究生院的选择、研究生院论文的建议和模拟面试。公共卫生相关性声明：医疗保健方面存在差异。多样性对于从不同角度看待医疗保健并消除这些差异至关重要。生物医学研究中代表性不足的少数群体数量的增加为医疗保健的进步提供了基础。代表性不足的少数族裔学生在走向研究职业的道路上的许多过渡步骤中迷失了方向。其中之一是本科教育和研究生教育之间的过渡。
