 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many talented minority students have the ability to do well in a biomedical science Ph. D. program, but either they do not have the necessary background or their credentials do not reflect their abilities. To provide deeper and longer exposure of bright, underrepresented minority students to biomedical science, the University of South Carolina established a PREP program that has increased the number of qualified URM applicants to biomedical Ph. D. programs by offering minority students the opportunity to work full-time in biomedical research laboratories while preparing for graduate school. Specific goals for the next period of USC PREP include: 1. To recruit qualified URM students who have both a recent BS degree in a biomedically relevant field and a strong commitment to earning a PhD in the biomedical sciences. 2. To improve the research skills of PREP Scholars through employment as a research technician in a mentored relationship with a faculty member and with graduate students/postdoctoral fellows. 3. To improve the analytical, verbal and quantitative skills of all USC PREP Scholars through hands on training, special course offerings, and participation in seminars and journal clubs so that all PREP Scholars are competitive to enter a well-respected PhD program. 4. To help the PREP Scholars to establish relationships among peers and faculty at USC and elsewhere in the research community so that each has well-defined career goals and a strong support network. 5. To help PREP Scholars to form a network of colleagues outside USC to enhance their career prospects by supporting their attendance at scientific meetings. 6. To help PREP Scholars gain acceptance into a high quality PhD program. It is our expectation that at least 75% of USC PREP Scholars will be accepted by such a program and that at least 80% those accepted will earn PhD degrees.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：许多有才华的少数族裔学生都能在生物医学科学博士学位上表现出色，但是他们没有必要的背景，或者他们的凭证不能反映他们的能力。为了提供更深入，更长的少数族裔学生对生物医学科学的暴露，南卡罗来纳大学建立了一个预备计划，该计划增加了生物医学博士学位的合格URM申请的数量。下一阶段PREP的具体目标包括：1。招募合格的URM学生，他们既有生物医学相关领域的近期学士学位，又要在生物医学科学领域获得博士学位的坚定承诺。 2。通过就业作为研究技术的研究技巧，以与教职员工和研究生/博士后研究员的研究技术进行研究。 3。通过动手进行培训，特殊课程优惠以及参与Semianars和Journal Journal Clubs的所有USC培训学者的分析，口头和定量技能，以便所有培训学者都有竞争力的竞争力。 4.为了帮助学者在USC和研究界其他地方建立同行和教职员工之间的关系，以便每个人都有明确的职业目标和强大的支持网络。 5。为了帮助学者在南加州大学以外的同事网络形成网络，以支持他们参加科学会议的出席人士。 6.为了帮助学者们接受高质量的博士学位计划。我们期望至少有75％的USC培训学者将被这样的计划接受，并且至少80％被接受的人将获得博士学位。
