Project Summary Although undergraduate enrollment in STEM majors has increased in the last two decades, graduate enrollment and retention in STEM disciplines has remained largely unchanged for a number of minoritized and underrepresented groups. Indeed, representation from diverse groups decreases as trainees progress along the training and career pathway from undergraduate to graduate programs, through postdocs, and ultimately to research careers. The proposed postbaccalaureate research program, the University of Oregon Program to Increase Resilience and Enhance Persistence in Biomedical Sciences (UO PREP Bio), aims to address challenges in the recruitment, retention, and success along the biomedical training pathway for scholars from underrepresented backgrounds. The transition between a highly structured, course-based undergraduate curriculum to a largely unstructured apprenticeship model of graduate education can be a formidable challenge. This is particularly true for students who have not had the benefit of prior experiences in science that included mentored research. By offering intentional community building activities, individualized mentorship, productive research experiences, and academic and professional development—all evidence-informed practices for increasing persistence in STEM fields for underrepresented groups—UO PREP Bio will enable the successful transition from undergraduate to graduate training among our cohort of scholars. Recruitment efforts will target trainees for whom intensive mentorship and research experience at an RI institution would make the most significant impact in their ability to secure admission to a doctoral program and who would benefit from community building and professional development to be able to thrive and persist in a challenging PhD environment. UO PREP Bio will fund four scholars annually for a one-year training program. In order to build community among the cohort, as well as with participants in other UO research training programs, UO PREP Bio scholars will begin their training with a summer bridge program in which they live on campus and engage in rigorous writing and graduate application workshops. Scholars will be matched with a Mentor Team who will support them in developing an Individual Development Plan, ensuring that their research and training schedule addresses the scholar’s personal and professional goals for their postbac training and graduate school aspirations. By employing practices demonstrated to increase persistence in STEM among historically underrepresented trainees, UO PREP Bio will address a significant transition period in the academic pathway and enhance representation of scholars from diverse backgrounds in biomedical research.

项目概要 尽管过去二十年来 STEM 专业的本科生入学人数有所增加，但研究生入学人数和 对于一些少数群体和代表性不足的群体来说，STEM 学科的保留率基本上没有变化。 事实上，随着学员在培训和职业道路上不断进步，来自不同群体的代表性会减少。 从本科生到研究生课程，再到博士后，最后到研究职业。 研究计划，俄勒冈大学提高生物医学科学韧性和持久性的计划 （UO PREP Bio），旨在解决生物医学培训途径中招聘、保留和成功方面的挑战 针对来自代表性不足的背景的学者，从高度结构化、基于课程的本科生之间的过渡。 将课程设置转变为基本上非结构化的研究生教育学徒模式可能是一项艰巨的挑战。 对于那些没有从先前的科学经验（包括指导性研究）中受益的学生来说尤其如此。 通过提供有意识的社区建设活动、个性化指导、富有成效的研究经验和 学术和专业发展——所有以证据为依据的实践，旨在增强 STEM 领域的持久性 代表性不足的群体——UO PREP Bio 将实现从本科到研究生培训的成功过渡 我们的学者群体中的招募工作将针对接受深入指导和研究的学员。 在 RI 机构的经历将对他们获得 RI 博士录取的能力产生最重大的影响 计划以及谁将从社区建设和专业发展中受益，从而能够蓬勃发展并坚持下去 充满挑战的博士环境。 UO PREP Bio 每年将资助四名学者进行为期一年的培训计划，以在学生之间建立社区。 队列以及其他俄勒冈大学研究培训项目的参与者，俄勒冈大学 PREP Bio 学者将开始他们的培训 参加夏季桥梁课程，他们住在校园里并进行严格的写作和研究生申请 学者们将与导师团队相匹配，导师团队将支持他们发展个人发展。 计划，确保他们的研究和培训计划能够满足学者的个人和职业目标 通过实践来提高对 STEM 的坚持。 在历史上代表性不足的学员中，UO PREP Bio 将解决学术界的一个重要过渡期 途径并增强来自不同背景的学者在生物医学研究中的代表性。
