Project Summary Nationally, underrepresented minorities (e.g., first-generation, low income, women, people of color, and people with disabilities) significantly and consistently lag behind non-underrepresented peers in earning life science doctorate degrees. While the foundation for the development of biomedical Ph.D. and MD/Ph.D. graduates primarily focuses on the recruitment of younger students, gaps in the Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. pipeline still exists with underrepresented populations, due to limited role models, expectations, and resources to pursue excep- tional doctoral training. Nationally, the step between undergraduate and graduate school is often a barrier in the biomedical doctoral degree pipeline. This barrier is exacerbated by limited access to substantive biomedi- cal research opportunities to prepare for graduate school. To address this critical need in our region and beyond, the University of Kentucky (UK) Neuroscience - Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (UKNeu- PREP) is uniquely positioned to provide access to an extensive biomedical research experience in neuroscience, while preparing program Participants through educational and professional development oppor- tunities to acquire the knowledge, research experience, communication skills, and confidence to successfully navigate the admissions process into a strong, neuroscience graduate program. UKNeu-PREP will leverage existing state, regional, and national networks to recruit Participants to become integrated into campus student supports, active research programs, and pipeline programs. Existing pipeline programs include our associated T32 training program “Neurobiology of CNS Injury”, the Department of Neuroscience UK START (“STEM Through Authentic Research and Training”), and the Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center (SCo- BIRC)- “African American Research Training Scholars” (AARTS) programs. Collectively UKNeu-PREP will train Participants to be lifelong career scientists while creating representational diversity at all levels. UKNeu-PREP will contribute to innovation and excellence in research environments and strengthen the entire research train- ing enterprise.

项目摘要 在全国范围内，代表性不足的少数民族（例如第一代，低收入，妇女，有色人种和人民 残疾）在赚取生命科学方面显着，始终如一地落后于非代表性的同龄人 博士学位。而生物医学博士的发展基础和MD/Ph.D。毕业生 主要的重点是招募年轻学生，博士学位的差距。或MD/Ph.D。管道仍然存在 由于人口不足的人口，由于榜样，期望和资源有限，购买例外 - 教学博士培训。在全国范围内，本科和研究生院之间的步骤通常是 生物医学博士学位管道。通过有限的实质性生物囊性，这种障碍加剧了这种障碍 CAL研究机会为研究生院做准备。解决我们地区的这种关键需求， 超越肯塔基大学（英国）神经科学 - 后果研究教育计划 （UKNEU-PREP）独特的位置，可以提供获得广泛的生物医学研究经验 神经科学，在通过教育和专业发展准备计划参与者的同时， 隧道以获取知识，研究经验，沟通技巧和信心 将入学过程导航到一个强大的神经科学研究生课程中。 Ukneu-Prep将利用 现有的州，区域和国家网络，招募参与者以融入校园学生 支持，积极的研究计划和管道计划。现有的管道程序包括我们关联的 T32培训计划“ CNS伤害神经生物学”，英国神经科学系开始（“ STEM） 通过真实的研究和培训”），以及脊髓和脑损伤研究中心（SCO- BIRC） - “非裔美国人研究培训学者”（AARTS）计划。统称UKNEU-PREP将训练 参与者成为终身职业科学家，同时在各个层面创造代表性多样性。 UKNEU-PREP 将有助于研究环境的创新和卓越，并加强整个研究培训 - 企业。
