Abstract Although substantial progress has been made in attracting individuals from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical research (URiBR) to STEM careers, the number of URiBR students in biomedical graduate programs remain suboptimal. Attrition along the career development path attenuates the impact of diversity programs targeting early stages of the pipeline. Reasons for this attrition are many, but include under-preparation, insufficient mentorship and networking opportunities, and lack of belonging stemming from inadequate representation at the faculty level. Weill Cornell Medicine has a longstanding institutional commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, scientific excellence, and mentoring the next generation of scientists and physician scientists. The proposed program, Advancing Success and Persistence in Research Education, ASPiRE will augment current WCM efforts by focusing on a population not targeted by existing pathway/capacity building programs: postbaccalaureate scholars. ASPiRE will leverage existing programs, relationships with local and regional partner institutions (Cornell University, Hunter College, Brooklyn College) and WCM presence at national graduate and medical school recruitment meetings to recruit talented scholars who will benefit from additional support to be competitive for admission in PhD and MD/PhD programs. The selected scholars will be paired with a primary research faculty mentor based on their career interests, collegiate research experiences and the expertise of the faculty member. An additional faculty member, at an academic rank different from the research mentor, will serve as a career mentor. In addition, the scholars will be paired with current 1st or 2nd year URiBR graduate students who will serve as near-peer mentors. This tiered mentorship structure will ensure that our scholars have mentors and advisors at multiple levels of the professional development spectrum and thus exposure to the many factors and considerations along the academic scientific career path. The experiential research training will be complemented with professional development advising, coaching and skill building. We will also provide the expertise of an educational psychologist who will meet with students collectively and individually to assess and build personalized academic success strategies relevant to their roles as research trainees, graduate school applicants and future graduate/medical students. We expect that the combination of research education, career development coaching, tiered mentorship and community building activities will yield short- and long-term dividends. In the short term, we expect scholars to progress successfully to PHD or MD/PhD programs within two years of program participation. In the long term, we project that program participation will produce longevity as academic research faculty.

抽象的 尽管在吸引个人代表性不足的个人方面取得了重大进展 生物医学研究（URIBIB）从事STEM职业，生物医学研究生课程中的尿学学生人数 保持次优。沿着职业发展道路的流失会减轻多样性计划的影响 针对管道的早期阶段。这种流失的原因很多，但包括准备不足， 指导和网络机会不足，并且缺乏由于不足而导致的 教师的代表。威尔·康奈尔（Weill Cornell）医学对机构的长期承诺 多样性，公平和包容性，科学卓越，并指导下一代科学家和 医师科学家。拟议的计划，提高了研究教育的成功和持久性， ASPIRE将通过关注未针对现有途径/能力的人口来增加当前的WCM努力 建筑计划：后库后学者。 Aspire将利用现有计划，与当地的关系 以及区域合作伙伴机构（康奈尔大学，亨特学院，布鲁克林学院）和WCM的存在 全国研究生和医学院招聘会议，以招募有才华的学者 在博士学位和MD/PHD计划中入学的额外支持。选定的学者将是 大学研究经验与一位主要的研究教师导师搭配 以及教师的专业知识。另一个教职员工，在学术阶段与 研究导师将担任职业导师。此外，学者将与当前的第一年或第二年配对 将担任亲密导师的尿学研究生。这种分层的指导结构将确保 我们的学者在专业发展范围的多个层面上都有导师和顾问，因此 在学术科学职业道路上接触许多因素和考虑因素。体验 研究培训将补充专业发展，辅导，教练和技能。我们 还将提供教育心理学家的专业知识，他将共同与学生会面 单独评估和建立与他们作为研究角色有关的个性化学术成功策略 学员，研究生院申请人和未来的研究生/医学生。我们期望的结合 研究教育，职业发展教练，分层指导和社区建设活动将产生 短期和长期股息。在短期内，我们预计学者将成功晋升为博士学位或MD/PHD 计划参与的两年内。从长远来看，我们预测计划参与将 作为学术研究教师生产长寿。
