Project Summary An analysis of the results from the Survey of Earned Doctorates revealed that in 2013, only 4% of those awarded doctoral degrees in the biological / biomedical sciences were Black or African-Americans and 7% were Hispanics or Latinos. For those awarded doctoral degrees in the health sciences, 12% were Black or African-Americans and 4% were Hispanics or Latinos. To address the urgent need to create a diverse biomedical research workforce, the University of Massachusetts Medical School has launched the Pathway to Graduate Study Program in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Our program offers an outstanding opportunity to enhance student academic preparedness and laboratory-based or clinical research experience. The goal of the program is to prepare students so that they are competitive for admission into top-tier graduate programs. This institutionally supported post-baccalaureate training program has met with success. We therefore seek to expand our research education training program with this grant. The goals of our expanded program include: 1) The recruitment of eligible scholars from national and local pools of candidates, resulting in a diverse trainee population with respect to disciplinary perspectives; 2) To provide to PREP scholars strong mentoring teams, academic training tailored to their research goals and tailored to build on previous educational and research experiences; and opportunities to hone technical skills and professional skills (e.g. writing, presentations, time management) necessary to enhance academic preparedness for graduate school; 3) To provide “hands on” research experience embedded within research-intensive UMMS Departments, Centers, and Institutes. Our breadth of mentors, scientific disciplines, and academic programs offers the flexibility to individualize each trainee's experience while providing a strong foundation to increase the likelihood of future academic success. We expect that at least 75% of the PREP scholars will matriculate and successfully complete graduate programs contributing to the diversification of the trainee population, and workforce, in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.

项目摘要 对获得博士学位调查的结果的分析显示，2013年，其中只有4％ 生物学 /生物医学科学的博士学位是黑人或非裔美国人，7％ 是西班牙裔或拉丁美洲人。对于那些授予健康科学博士学位的人，有12％是黑人或 非裔美国人和4％是西班牙裔或拉丁美洲人。解决迫切需要创建潜水员 生物医学研究人员，马萨诸塞大学医学院已启动了通往 生物医学研究生院的研究生学习计划。我们的计划提供了出色的 增强学生学术准备和基于实验室或临床研究经验的机会。 该计划的目的是为学生做好准备，以便他们有竞选高级毕业生的竞争力 程序。这项由机构支持的后核后培训计划取得了成功。我们 因此，寻求通过这笔赠款扩大我们的研究教育培训计划。我们扩展的目标 计划包括：1）从国家和当地候选人游泳池招募合格的学者， 在学科观点方面，导致潜水员的受训者人口； 2）提供准备 学者们强大的心理团队，针对他们的研究目标量身定制的学术培训，并量身定制 以前的教育和研究经验；以及蜂蜜技术技能和专业的机会 技能（例如写作，演讲，时间管理），以增强学术准备 研究所; 3）提供嵌入在研究密集型UMMS中的“动手”研究经验 部门，中心和机构。我们的导师，科学学科和学术课程的广度 提供灵活性来个性化每个受训者的经验，同时为增加的基础提供强大的基础 未来学术成功的可能性。我们预计至少有75％的培训将矩阵 并成功完成促进学员人口多元化的研究生课程，并 劳动力，在生物医学和行为科学中。
