DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Georgia (UGA) proposes a program in "Post-baccalaureate Training in Infectious Diseases Research" in response to the NIGMS call for Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP R25) proposals. UGA is strongly committed to enhancing diversity at all university levels, and has made major strides in recruiting and successfully graduating students belonging to historically underrepresented groups, including racial and ethnic minorities and students with disabilities. The UGA PREP will draw on UGA's remarkable strength in infectious diseases research, as well as strong graduate programs in several of its biology-related departments and mathematics, to provide intensive research experiences for eight underrepresented minority and disabled trainees each year. Thirty-three faculty drawn from the UGA Faculty of Infectious Diseases, who belong to the departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology, Ecology, Entomology, Genetics, Infectious Diseases, Mathematics, Microbiology, and Population Health, will incorporate UGA PREP trainees into their laboratories, providing a unique, structured and mentored one-year research experience. Coupled with a number of PREP-specific and integrative (with PhD student) group activities, the latter enriched by NIH T32 training programs in Genetics and Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases, as well as existing programs designed to enhance and support the success of graduate students belonging to underrepresented groups, these research experiences will provide trainees with the skills and attributes the UGA faculty feel are essential for successful entrance to and completion of bioscience PhD programs. Each trainee will be guided by a specifically designed, individualized development plan (IDP) to further enhance development of these skills and attributes, with guidance by a mentoring team and with the support of a personal mentor. The UGA PREP will recruit well-qualified candidates from UGA programs as well as via networks with undergraduate advisors and graduate coordinators established by UGA PREP faculty and the UGA Graduate School to ensure that the Program trains young scientists who are committed to a career in biomedical research and who need to gain additional research experience and academic credentials to achieve this goal.

描述（由申请人提供）：佐治亚大学 (UGA) 提出了一项“传染病研究学士后培训”计划，以响应 NIGMS 对学士后研究教育计划 (PREP R25) 提案的呼吁。佐治亚大学坚定地致力于增强大学各级的多样性，并在招收历史上代表性不足的群体（包括少数种族和族裔以及残疾学生）的学生并成功毕业方面取得了重大进展。 UGA PREP 将利用 UGA 在传染病研究方面的卓越实力，以及其多个生物学相关系和数学系的强大研究生课程，每年为八名代表性不足的少数族裔和残疾人学员提供深入的研究经验。来自 UGA 传染病学院生物化学和分子生物学、细胞生物学、生态学、昆虫学、遗传学、传染病、数学、微生物学和人口健康系的 33 名教员将把 UGA PREP 学员纳入其中他们的实验室提供独特的、结构化的、受指导的一年研究经验。再加上一些针对 PREP 的综合性（与博士生）小组活动，后者通过 NIH T32 遗传学、热带和新兴全球疾病培训计划以及旨在增强和支持研究生成功的现有计划而得到丰富属于代表性不足的群体，这些研究经验将为学员提供佐治亚大学教师认为对于成功进入和完成生物科学博士课程至关重要的技能和品质。每位学员都将接受专门设计的个性化发展计划 (IDP) 的指导，在指导团队的指导和个人导师的支持下，进一步加强这些技能和特质的发展。 UGA PREP将从UGA项目中招募合格的候选人，并通过UGA PREP教师和UGA研究生院建立的本科生导师和研究生协调员网络招募合格的候选人，以确保该项目培养致力于生物医学研究事业的年轻科学家以及需要获得额外研究经验和学术证书才能实现这一目标的人。
