项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overall goal of the Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans (LSUHSC-NO) is to enhance the diversity of the research workforce by increasing competitiveness for acceptance and completion of PhD and MD/PhD programs by underrepresented minorities (URM). LSUHSC-NO PREP will accept 39 recent URM baccalaureate science graduates over 5 yrs for intensive research and innovative academic training experi- ences to foster success in BMS doctoral degree programs. Over 300 URM science baccalaureates are award- ed annually to URM students by universities located within 100 miles of LSUHSC-NO representing 32% of all science degrees; however, URM constitute only 10% of enrolled PhD and MD/PhD students nationwide, and 12% at LSUHSC-NO. The PREP will enhance competitiveness for acceptance, retention, and completion of BMS PhD programs by the Scholars by providing 1) intensive research experiences with committed research faculty, and 2) complementary skills development during the 1-yr training. PREP training will focus on building solid foundations in research skills by providing concentrated education in scientific critical thinking, analysis of results, statistics, and writing; inventive and personalized test-taking skills to improve GRE scores and success in graduate courses; oral and poster scientific presentations; responsible and ethical conduct in research; and writing a resume, personal statement, and selecting and applying to graduate schools. Scholars will participate in works-in-progress, journal clubs, and workshops hosted by PREP faculty, visitors, and recruitment contacts; join graduate students in skills development programs; present their research at the annual PREP poster sym- posium and local and national scientific conferences; mentor summer research fellows; and assist in communi- ty science education programs. The PREP will provide forums for the Scholars to engage in research and skills acquisition and active demonstration of knowledge. Over 60 LSUHSC-NO active research faculty, committed to the PREP, have extensive experience in mentoring high school, undergraduate, medical, predoctoral, and postdoctoral students representing URM in the BMS through NIH T32, R25, R35, and other funding mecha- nisms. There are 8 active LSUHSC-NO summer programs which provide research experiences to 75 URM fel- lows annually from which future PREP Scholars will be prescreened and recruited. Scholar recruitment efforts will extend to 4 local historically black colleges and 2 state universities to develop a community-wide mecha- nism to support the URM BMS workforce. The program will be critically evaluated using formative and summa- tive methodologies and descriptive, quantitative, and qualitative statistics to document success. The overall goal is for PREP Scholars to have an enhanced competitiveness for acceptance into rigorous graduate pro- grams with the confidence and essential research skills required to earn a PhD or MD/PhD degree, establish rewarding and successful BMS research careers, and serve as role-models for future URM students.

项目概要/摘要生物医学学士后研究教育计划（PREP）的总体目标新奥尔良路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心 (LSUHSC-NO) 的 (BMS) 旨在加强通过提高接受和完成博士学位的竞争力来实现研究人员的多样性和少数族裔（URM）的医学博士/博士项目。 LSUHSC-NO PREP 将接受 39 个最近的 URM 5年以上的理学学士学位毕业生进行深入研究和创新学术培训经验促进 BMS 博士学位课程取得成功的重要因素。超过 300 名 URM 科学学士学位获得者位于 LSUHSC-NO 100 英里范围内的大学每年向 URM 学生提供教育，占总数的 32% 科学学位；然而，URM 仅占全国注册博士生和 MD/PhD 学生的 10%，并且 LSUHSC-NO. 12% PREP 将增强接受、保留和完成的竞争力 BMS 博士课程由学者提供 1) 深入研究经验和致力于研究教师，以及 2) 在一年的培训期间补充技能发展。 PREP 培训将侧重于构建通过提供科学批判性思维、分析等方面的集中教育，为研究技能打下坚实的基础结果、统计数据和写作；创造性和个性化的考试技巧可提高 GRE 成绩并取得成功在研究生课程中；口头和海报科学演示；研究中负责任且符合道德的行为；和撰写简历、个人陈述以及选择和申请研究生院。学者将参与由 PREP 教员、访客和招聘联系人主办的正在进行的工作、期刊俱乐部和研讨会；与研究生一起参加技能发展项目；在年度 PREP 海报研讨会上展示他们的研究 posium 以及地方和国家科学会议；指导暑期研究员；并协助沟通 ty 科学教育计划。 PREP 将为学者提供参与研究和技能的论坛知识的获取和主动展示。超过 60 名 LSUHSC-NO 活跃的研究人员致力于到 PREP，在辅导高中、本科生、医学、博士前和通过 NIH T32、R25、R35 和其他资助机制在 BMS 中代表 URM 的博士后学生尼主义。有 8 个活跃的 LSUHSC-NO 夏季项目，为 75 名 URM 研究员提供研究经验每年的低点将用于预筛选和招募未来的 PREP 学者。学者招募工作将扩展到 4 所当地历史悠久的黑人学院和 2 所州立大学，以开发社区范围的机制支持 URM BMS 员工队伍的主义。该计划将使用形成性和总结性进行严格评估记录成功的方法论和描述性、定量和定性统计数据。整体 PREP 学者的目标是提高被严格的研究生专业录取的竞争力克具有获得博士学位或医学博士/博士学位所需的信心和基本研究技能，建立奖励和成功的 BMS 研究生涯，并为未来的 URM 学生树立榜样。
