DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The SMART PREP at BCM will continue to provide research and educational opportunities to better prepare promising underrepresented (UR) college graduates to enter and succeed in biomedical related Ph.D. programs and progress into biomedical research careers. BCM is ranked in the top 5% of US graduate schools granting biomedical Ph.D.s. BCM UR Ph.D. student enrollment increased by 400% from 1998 to 2007. UR students maximize their potential through individual development plans (IDP) and are often ranked among our best Ph.D. and MD/Ph.D. students. Creating IDPs for PREP apprentices is a key component of our PREPs. Participants will work 3 time as apprentice technicians and conduct research at the frontier of biomedical science. Apprentices will participate intellectually in the research through directed reading of scientific papers, lab meetings, journal clubs and seminars. A research project will provide opportunities for apprentices to progress toward more independent function developing hypotheses, designing and conducting experiments, interpreting data, drawing conclusions and contributing to the preparation of a manuscript describing the work. The culmination of the project will involve a PowerPoint talk on their research and writing a one-specific aim grant proposal using their work for the preliminary data to provide an experience that reflects most Ph.D. qualifying exams. Apprentices will build their knowledge in molecular and cellular biology (MCB) through a course that emphasizes experimental approaches, quantitative skills, ethical decision-making, URM health disparities and the contributions of URM scientists. There are ~ 80URM Ph.D. and MD/Ph.D. students enrolled in BCM programs. Some of these students will be selected as guest lecturers to present a "research relevance" for some MCB classes. Weekly analysis and problem solving meetings will enhance the ability to read and analyze the scientific literature and research with an emphasis on quantitative and writing skills. Standardized test preparatory workshops, graduate school application workshops, ethics and safety training, and skills building workshops will provide additional training in skills needed to succeed as a scientist. Individual or group tutoring and instruction will be provided in English, math or physical sciences as needed. Faculty and Ph.D. student mentoring and attending a UR student organization meetings, fall welcome and spring graduation receptions, and scientific conferences will help inspire and motivate participants to strive for excellence as they become members of the scientific community. Progression into Ph.D. programs will be facilitated by interacting with program directors (T32 training grant supported and other Ph.D. programs) through receptions and meetings with program directors and Ph.D. students. Formative and summative evaluations will assess progress and performance of apprentices, mentors, staff and the impact of the program on the institution and achievement of goals of the MORE Division of NIH, to diversify biomedicine.

描述（由申请人提供）：BCM的Smart Prep将继续提供研究和教育机会，以更好地准备有前途的代表性不足（UR）大学毕业生，以进入并成功获得与生物医学相关的博士学位。计划并晋升为生物医学研究职业。 BCM在授予生物医学博士学位的美国研究生院排名前5％。 BCM UR博士从1998年到2007年，学生入学率增加了400％。我们的学生通过个人发展计划（IDP）最大程度地发挥了潜力，并且通常被排名我们最好的博士学位。和MD/Ph.D。学生。为学徒创建IDP是我们准备的关键组成部分。参与者将担任学徒技术人员3次，并在生物医学科学领域进行研究。学徒将在智力上参与 在研究中，通过直接阅读科学论文，实验室会议，期刊俱乐部和研讨会。一个研究项目将为学徒提供机会，以朝着更独立的功能发展假设，设计和进行实验，解释数据，得出结论，并为描述工作的手稿做准备。该项目的高潮将涉及有关他们的研究的PowerPoint谈话，并使用他们的初步数据的工作撰写一项一项特定的AIM赠款建议，以提供反映大多数博士学位的经验。合格考试。学徒将通过强调实验方法，定量技能，道德决策，URM健康差异以及URM科学家的贡献的课程来建立他们在分子和细胞生物学（MCB）方面的知识。有〜80urm博士学位。和MD/Ph.D。学生参加了BCM课程。其中一些学生将被选为客座讲师，以介绍一些MCB课程的“研究相关性”。每周分析和解决问题会议将增强阅读和分析科学文献和研究的能力，重点是定量和写作技巧。标准化的测试预备研讨会，研究生院申请研讨会，道德和安全培训以及技能建设研讨会将提供有关成功作为科学家所需的技能的额外培训。根据需要，将以英语，数学或物理科学提供个人或小组的辅导和指导。教师和博士学位学生指导和参加您的学生组织会议，秋季欢迎和春季毕业招待会以及科学会议将有助于激励和激励参与者在成为科学界的成员时努力争取卓越。发展为博士学位通过与计划董事和博士学位的招待会和会议，将通过与计划主管（T32培训赠款和其他博士学位计划）进行互动来促进计划。学生。形成性和总结性评估将评估学徒，导师，员工的进度和绩效，以及该计划对NIH分工的制度和实现目标的影响，以使生物医学多样化。
