DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this proposal is to improve the diversity in biomedical research fields by increasing the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who enter and successfully complete graduate programs at the doctoral level. The biomedical research community at UC Santa Cruz has played a leading role in broadening participation in pre-graduate and graduate research training programs through extensive programming and a variety of support services based on best practices. The NIH has funded the MARC and IMSD programs at UCSC for the past 30 years, and this past year the 100th student trained by these programs earned her PhD. Many UCSC faculty members have trained URM post-graduates in their labs as entry-level technicians, and many have received minority training supplements to their NIH R01 awards to support these postbacs. Our expert program staff works closely with faculty to ensure our URM students have the resources and support needed to confidently move toward earning their PhD degrees in a timely manner, and to enter productive careers in biomedical research. In addition, UCSC has a T32 Graduate Training Program that has been involved in training minority PhD students. Through these experiences working with students from under-represented and under-served populations, it is clear to us that these individuals do not lack in potential for outstanding success in research careers - only in preparation and confidence. We have identified a clear need for a PREP program at UCSC and are seeking funding to establish this important resource. UCSC PREP will serve students who have faced barriers in their academic progress, making up for gaps in preparation and providing individualized training that will prepare them for the rigors of graduate school. !

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的目标是通过增加进入并成功完成博士级别研究生课程的代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）学生的数量来提高生物医学研究领域的多样性。加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的生物医学研究社区通过基于最佳实践的广泛规划和各种支持服务，在扩大研究生预科和研究生研究培训项目的参与方面发挥了主导作用。过去 30 年来，NIH 一直资助 UCSC 的 MARC 和 IMSD 项目，去年，这些项目培养的第 100 名学生获得了博士学位。许多 UCSC 教职人员在其实验室中将 URM 研究生培训为入门级技术人员，许多人还获得了 NIH R01 奖项的少数族裔培训补助，以支持这些后勤人员。我们的专家项目工作人员与教师密切合作，确保我们的 URM 学生拥有所需的资源和支持，自信地及时获得博士学位，并进入生物医学研究领域富有成效的职业生涯。此外，UCSC还有一个T32研究生培养项目，一直参与培养少数族裔博士生。通过与来自代表性不足和服务不足人群的学生一起工作的经验，我们清楚地知道，这些人并不缺乏在研究生涯中取得杰出成功的潜力 - 只是在准备和信心方面。我们已经确定 UCSC 对 PREP 计划的明确需求，并正在寻求资金来建立这一重要资源。 UCSC PREP 将为在学术进步中遇到障碍的学生提供服务，弥补准备方面的差距，并提供个性化培训，帮助他们为研究生院的严格要求做好准备。 ！
