 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new application from the University of Iowa (U Iowa) for an R25 Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP). It draws upon the collective talent and commitment of >40 experienced faculty to provide an exceptional experience to 10 talented participants each year who are members of under- represented (UR) groups. This application is based on an innovative employment initiative undertaken two years ago that enabled recent college graduates with career aspirations in the health professions and biomedical sciences to secure research positions in laboratories for 1-2 years without competing for positions with career research staff. The program has been a great success. With this experience, we are now positioned to develop a program specific to individuals interested in the PhD or MD/PhD. This mechanism will provide the financial support, infrastructure, resources, and programmatic activities necessary to enhance the qualifications and experiences of its participants, making them highly competitive for top-tier graduate programs - including those at U Iowa. The program includes an introductory class in fundamental laboratory skills, followed by two 3-week research rotations, selection of a laboratory and identification of a research problem, and submission of an individual development plan that is revisited quarterly. Participants will attend monthly career development workshops, weekly scientific seminars and laboratory meetings, present updates on their research at quarterly work-in-progress meetings, and present their research at multiple local and one national meeting. They will take one graduate level course in the fall and spring semester, and will be provided a GRE preparatory course. Each participant will have a research committee comprised of their mentor, a faculty member from the Advisory Committee, and another faculty member so that knowledgeable letters of recommendation can be written on their behalf. Participants will be carefully mentored through the graduate school application and interview processes. In order to maximize the mentoring experience and foster learning environments that are conducive to inclusive excellence, mentors will participate in professional development seminars that will focus on cross-cultural mentoring. In addition, the institution will cover the costs of visits by five gradute program directors each year to highlight the program, showcase its participants and develop pipelines to top programs. The participants will be integrated into the activities of first-year graduate students. Metrics of success for the initial 5 years include the number of participants who apply for and are accepted in a graduate program, that author or co-author a publication, the number of invitations received to interview and the quality of those programs, and the number who eventually secure independent funding by appointment to T32 or F31 mechanisms. Mentors, participants and programs into which the participants matriculate will be surveyed annually for feedback and as a means to track the career paths of our participants. The program will undergo continual assessment so that it can adapt to the needs of the participants.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：这是爱荷华大学（U IOWA）的新应用程序，用于R25-BACCALAULEATE研究教育计划（PREP）。它借鉴了40位经验丰富的教师的集体人才和承诺，每年为10名才华横溢的参与者提供出色的经验，这些参与者是（UR）团体的成员。该申请是基于两年前开展的一项创新的就业计划，该计划使最近的大学毕业生在卫生专业和生物医学科学领域具有职业愿望，以确保实验室的研究职位1 - 2年，而没有与职业研究人员竞争职位。该计划取得了巨大的成功。有了这一经验，我们现在可以制定针对对博士或MD/博士有兴趣的个人的计划。这种机制将提供经济支持，基础架构，资源和程序化活动，以增强参与者的资格和经验，从而使他们对顶级研究生计划（包括爱荷华州的毕业生计划）具有很高的竞争力。该计划包括一个基本实验室技能的介绍课程，然后进行两次为期3周的研究轮换，选择实验室和研究问题的识别以及提交每季度重新审视的个人发展计划。参与者将参加每月一次的职业发展研讨会，每周的科学半手和实验室会议，介绍他们在季度进行的工作会议上的研究最新信息，并在多次本地和一次全国会议上介绍他们的研究。他们将在秋季和春季学期参加一个研究生级课程，并将提供GRE准备课程。每个参与者将完成一个研究委员会的精神，咨询委员会的教职员工和另一位教职员工，以便可以代表他们写出可知的推荐信。参与者将通过研究生院的申请和面试过程进行仔细指导。为了最大程度地提高指导经验和促进卓越卓越的导电环境，导师将参与专业发展的半少数，将专注于跨文化指导。此外，该机构每年将支付五年级计划董事的访问费用，以突出该计划，展示其参与者并开发为顶级计划的管道。参与者将被整合到第一年研究生的活动中。最初5年成功的成功指标包括申请并被研究生课程接受的参与者人数，作者或合着者出版物，所收到的邀请函数以及这些计划的质量的数量以及最终通过任命T32或F31机制获得独立资金的人数。导师，参与者和计划将每年调查参与者矩阵的反馈，并作为跟踪参与者的职业道路的一种手段。该计划将进行持续的评估，以便可以适应参与者的需求。
