项目摘要

SUMMARY Minority graduates are significantly underrepresented in biomedical PhD programs nationwide. Montana State University (MSU), a research-intensive public land-grant university, serves a significant number of first- generation rural and low-income students who rarely enroll in PhD programs. Likewise, Montana is home to twelve Indigenous tribes, with >6.5% of Montana residents considered American Indians, but only 4.7% of MSU’s undergraduates identify as Native, and no Native Americans have graduated from MSU’s biomedical PhD programs in the past five years. To address these inequities, we have designed an evidence-based postbaccalaureate program, PREP-MT, to prepare underrepresented minority graduates including first- generation, rural, low-income students and Native Americans in Montana for a successful transition into doctoral degree programs in the biomedical sciences. PREP-MT will equip recent minority graduates (PREP scholars) with the experience, confidence, knowledge, and research skills to become highly successful PhD students and graduates. Specifically, our program will pursue the following Specific Aims: (1) Provide in-depth, mentored biomedical research experiences to PREP-MT scholars; (2) Enable PREP-MT to develop professional and career skills relevant to a successful career in biomedical science; (3) Build a professional support network for the PREP-MT scholars to create a sense of belonging as members of the biomedical research community. Additionally, we will perform regular program evaluations, incorporate changes to improve the PREP-MT program, and disseminate our findings to appropriate audiences. Our program is highly feasible, because PREP-MT is synergistically integrated with established undergraduate and graduate research training programs at MSU, increasing the opportunities for the scholars and maximizing our resources. Our Multi-PI leadership team is uniquely positioned to manage the proposed program, since we have a strong background in leading collaborative research and training, promoting minority involvement in biomedical research, and collaborating with tribal and rural communities. More than 30 faculty with biomedical research programs from ten departments who have demonstrated a commitment to training the next generation of scientists have agreed to serve as mentors for the PREP-MT program. All mentors will receive mentorship training through the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experience in Research and MSU’s Indigenous Mentoring Program. The proposed PREP-MT program is innovative, because of its focus on Native American and first generation rural and low-income graduates and because it emphasizes instilling a sense of belonging in our PREP participants. In summary, we are confident that the PREP-MT program will significantly enhance biomedical workforce development by increasing the access of minority groups in Montana to high- quality PhD programs and impactful careers.

概括蒙大拿州全国生物医学博士项目中少数民族毕业生的比例明显不足。州立大学 (MSU) 是一所研究密集型公立赠地大学，为大量一流大学提供服务同样，蒙大拿州也是很少参加博士学位课程的一代农村和低收入学生。 12 个土著部落，其中超过 6.5% 的蒙大拿州居民被视为美洲印第安人，但只有 4.7% 密歇根州立大学的本科生被认为是原住民，并且没有美洲原住民从密歇根州立大学的生物医学专业毕业为了解决这些不平等问题，我们设计了一个基于证据的博士项目。学士后项目 PREP-MT，旨在培养代表性不足的少数族裔毕业生，包括第一蒙大拿州的一代、农村、低收入学生和美洲原住民成功过渡到 PREP-MT 将为应届少数民族毕业生提供生物医学博士学位课程（PREP-MT）。学者）拥有成为非常成功的博士的经验、信心、知识和研究技能具体来说，我们的计划将追求以下具体目标：（1）提供深入的、 (2) 使PREP-MT能够发展（三）打造专业队伍为 PREP-MT 学者建立支持网络，以创造作为生物医学成员的归属感此外，我们将定期进行计划评估，并纳入更改。改进 PREP-MT 计划，并将我们的发现传播给适当的受众。可行，因为 PREP-MT 与已建立的本科生和研究生协同整合密歇根州立大学的研究培训项目，增加了学者的机会并最大限度地提高我们的能力我们的多 PI 领导团队具有独特的优势来管理拟议的计划，因为我们在领导合作研究和培训、促进少数群体参与方面拥有强大的背景生物医学研究，并与部落和农村社区合作 30 多名生物医学教师。来自十个部门的研究计划，这些部门已表现出对培训下一代的承诺一代科学家已同意担任 PREP-MT 项目的导师所有导师都将获得。通过研究指导经验改进中心和密歇根州立大学进行指导培训拟议的 PREP-MT 计划具有创新性，因为它重点关注原住民。美国和第一代农村和低收入毕业生，因为它强调灌输一种意识总之，我们相信 PREP-MT 计划将发挥显着的作用。通过增加蒙大拿州少数群体获得高水平的机会来加强生物医学劳动力的发展优质的博士课程和有影响力的职业。
