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弱势群体、拥有学士学位后、有兴趣攻读研究生教育的学生提供临时职位。重点是在强大的研究导师的指导下进行研究培训，导师将提供支持性的实验室环境，以开发学员在生物医学研究领域的职业潜力。项目总监将与受训者一起根据他们陈述的兴趣和他们选择的教师的面试分配给导师。招募将通过访问地区少数民族机构、全国邮寄和参加少数民族会议、网站以及与参与该机构其他研究培训项目的学生进行联系。该项目利用维克森林大学医学院 (WFUSM) 广泛的多学科研究活动以及艺术与科学研究生院院长对增加多样性的承诺。目的和目标： 1) 在五年内将进入世界联邦州立大学研究生课程的少数民族学生人数从 13% 增加到 18%； 2）保持少数族裔研究生的保留率与多数学生相当； 3）提高参与者的GRE成绩，以提高他们研究生课程的资格； 4) 100% 的参与者申请，75% 进入博士或医学博士/博士课程，60% 进入 WFUSM 课程。该计划包括根据兴趣领域和先前的优势和劣势进行课程作业以加强学术科学背景的机会。我们还将提供其他课程/信息，以提高 GRE 成绩、介绍负责任的科学行为、改进申请和简历准备，并为 WFUSM 的生物医学研究生课程和一般研究生教育提供信息。我们将通过亲身参与研究项目来介绍生物医学研究，并通过参加期刊俱乐部来对期刊文章进行批判性的科学评估和介绍。科学写作和演讲是通过每年在 PREP 研讨会和讲座上撰写摘要和以幻灯片和海报形式介绍研究项目来发展的。学生将接触基础科学和临床研究人员，通过体现研究的兴奋和挑战的经历，培养长期致力于生物医学科学职业的决心。学生（包括以前的参与者）和导师的评估将每年进行一次。 该计划是一个学士学位后研究培训计划，旨在为代表性不足的少数族裔学生和弱势群体学生提供临时职位，让他们参与研究项目和发展学术技能，以鼓励进入博士学位课程。
