PREP@UC (Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program at the University of Cincinnati) will prepare college graduates from underrepresented minority groups, disadvantaged backgrounds or with disabilities (URM/DA) to succeed in a biomedical doctoral program. PREP@UC will be based in the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and mentors will be drawn from the College of Medicine and the adjacent Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The two institutions have a history of successfully mentoring URM/DA students and our experienced Program Faculty mentor both graduate and undergraduate students. PREP@UC will fill a gap in PREP program coverage in the Appalachian region and a need expressed to us by students and institutions from our PREP program service area. Cincinnati sits at the edge of Appalachia, a region that is considered economically distressed, and the city is home to large Black and Appalachian populations and a growing Hispanic population, all with high rates of poverty. When URM/DA students from our region make it to university they frequently attend institutions that lack a PhD or masters level infrastructure for career progression. The goal of PREP@UC is to enable these individuals to enter doctoral programs and then progress to careers in biomedical research. To achieve this goal, we propose an evidence- based program incorporating established educational concepts and tailored learning. PREP Scholars will have individualized mentoring and training plans (IDPs) designed to teach research skills, increase academic preparedness, build internal scientific identity and build external credentials needed for doctoral studies. The program goal will be met through the following aims. Aim 1. Empower Scholars with the confidence and sense of self-efficacy needed to succeed in doctoral studies by providing strong social support and mentoring. Scholars will have a social support network and mentoring team to help them adjust to the academic environment, develop confidence they can succeed as a scientist and build enthusiasm for this career. Aim 2. Develop Scholars' research skills using intensive mentored experiential learning. Each Scholar will be matched with a highly qualified faculty mentor and work on their own project in the mentor's lab. They will receive training in all aspects of scientific research and will experience life as a graduate student. Aim 3. Increase Scholars' readiness for biomedical doctoral programs through individually tailored academic preparation. Activities will include taking a graduate level course, training in critiquing scientific papers, oral presentations, scientific writing and preparation of graduate school applications. Through Aims 1-3, we will significantly increase Scholars' internal readiness, and academic preparedness for entry into a doctoral program. PREP@UC is unique in its focus on Black and Appalachian populations from our region and it will help boost the number of PhD-level biomedical researchers from these underrepresented groups.

PREP@UC（辛辛那提大学学士后研究教育计划）将准备 来自代表性不足的少数群体、弱势背景或残疾人的大学毕业生 （URM/DA）成功完成生物医学博士课程。 PREP@UC 将设在大学 辛辛那提医学院和导师将从医学院和邻近的学院中选拔 辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心。这两个机构都有成功指导的历史 URM/DA 学生和我们经验丰富的项目教师指导研究生和本科生。 PREP@UC 将填补阿巴拉契亚地区 PREP 计划覆盖范围的空白以及向我们表达的需求 由我们 PREP 项目服务领域的学生和机构提供。辛辛那提坐落在阿巴拉契亚山脉的边缘， 该地区被认为经济困难，该市是大型黑人和阿巴拉契亚人的家园 人口和不断增长的西班牙裔人口，所有这些都具有很高的贫困率。当来自 URM/DA 的学生 我们地区进入大学的人经常就读缺乏博士或硕士学位的机构 职业发展的基础设施。 PREP@UC 的目标是使这些人能够进入博士学位 计划，然后进入生物医学研究领域。为了实现这一目标，我们提出了一个证据—— 基础课程融合了既定的教育理念和量身定制的学习。 PREP 学者将 拥有个性化的指导和培训计划（IDP），旨在教授研究技能、提高学术水平 准备，建立内部科学身份并建立博士研究所需的外部证书。这 计划目标将通过以下目标来实现。目标 1. 赋予学者信心和 通过提供强有力的社会支持和在博士研究中取得成功所需的自我效能感 指导。学者将拥有社会支持网络和指导团队来帮助他们适应 学术环境，培养他们能够成为一名成功科学家的信心，并为此激发热情 职业。目标 2. 通过强化指导的体验式学习来培养学者的研究技能。每个 学者将与一位高素质的导师相匹配，并在导师的指导下开展自己的项目 实验室。他们将接受科学研究各方面的培训，并体验研究生的生活。 目标 3. 通过个性化定制提高学者对生物医学博士课程的准备 学术准备。活动将包括参加研究生课程、批判科学的培训 论文、口头报告、科学写作和研究生院申请的准备。通过目标 1-3，我们将显着提高学者的内部准备和进入学术界的准备 博士课程。 PREP@UC 的独特之处在于它关注我们地区的黑人和阿巴拉契亚人口 它将有助于增加来自这些代表性不足群体的博士级生物医学研究人员的数量。
