项目摘要

ABSTRACT The UIC Portal to Biomedical Research Careers (UIC PBRC) proposal is an R25 grant application to develop a comprehensive post-baccalaureate research education program (PREP) in the biomedical sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago. UIC is noted for the diversity of its student body, and we take great pride in giving talented and highly motivated students from the broadest possible backgrounds the opportunity for achieving success and excellence at all levels of higher education. The UIC PBRC PREP will identify and recruit eight recent baccalaureate science degree recipients who are strongly motivated to pursue a PhD or MD/PhD degree, but who would benefit from a year engaged in cutting-edge research and building their critical thinking and scientific communication skills to become competitive applicants to top PhD and MD/PhD programs. UIC PBRC Scholars will be predominantly recruited from the significant pool of recent underrepresented baccalaureates at UIC and five partner universities: Chicago State University, Florida A & M University, Northeastern Illinois University, Oakwood University, and Roosevelt University. UIC PBRC Scholars will participate in an intensive, mentored research experience with a UIC faculty member, and will be provided with individually designed academic programming and professional development activities. Unique aspects of this program will be scholar participation in a rigorous critical thinking course that includes scientific writing and oral communication exercises designed to enhance their development as competitive research scientists and a multi-level approach for mentoring, including individualized near-peer mentoring. These activities combined with the intensive research experience will be strong preparation enabling UIC PBRC Scholars to enter and succeed in top graduate programs nationwide. A broader impact of the UIC PBRC PREP will be achieved through expanded interactions with our partner universities to exchange and implement best practices for promoting the entry of underrepresented students into biomedical careers.

抽象的 UIC 生物医学研究职业门户网站 (UIC PBRC) 提案是一项 R25 拨款申请制定综合性学士学位后研究教育计划 UIC 伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校生物医学科学专业 (PREP) 因学生群体的多样性，我们为培养才华横溢且积极进取的学生感到非常自豪来自最广泛背景的学生获得成功的机会 UIC PBRC PREP 将确定并招募八名优秀的高等教育学生。最近获得科学学士学位并有强烈攻读博士学位或博士学位的人 MD/PhD 学位，但谁会从从事尖端研究和研究一年中受益培养他们的批判性思维和科学沟通技巧以提高竞争力顶尖博士和医学博士/博士项目的申请者将主要是 UIC PBRC 学者。从 UIC 近期代表性不足的学士学位毕业生中招募，并从 5 名合作大学：芝加哥州立大学、佛罗里达农工大学、伊利诺伊州东北部大学、奥克伍德大学和罗斯福大学的 PBRC 学者将参加。与 UIC 教职人员一起进行密集的、受指导的研究经验，并将提供单独设计的学术规划和专业发展活动。该计划的独特之处在于学者参与严格的批判性思维课程。其中包括旨在提高他们的科学写作和口头交流练习发展成为有竞争力的研究科学家和多层次的指导方法，包括个性化的近同伴指导这些活动与强化相结合。研究经验将为 UIC PBRC 学者进入和进入做好充分的准备 UIC PBRC PREP 的更广泛影响将是在全国顶尖研究生课程中取得成功。通过扩大与我们的合作大学的互动来实现交流和实施最佳实践，促进代表性不足的学生进入生物医学领域职业生涯。
