DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A major challenge for the scientific community is to increase diversity in the biomedical workforce and subsequent leadership in the professoriate. To address this need, we propose interventions in the Case PREP to prepare recent college graduates in natural sciences to be successful in doctoral study in the biomedical sciences. This proposal requests support for 8 Scholars per year to engage in research in biochemistry, biomedical engineering, genetics, molecular biology and microbiology, neuroscience, nutrition, pathology, pharmacology or physiology and biophysics within in an integrated postgraduate training program. Participating faculty mentors all have active and well-funded research programs and strong training experience. The participating mentors are located at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine (CWRU SOM) and already interact in the training of graduate students through our interdisciplinary PhD programs. In addition to a full year as a laboratory apprentice, scholars will complete graduate academic coursework to augment their quantitative skills and to explore biomedical research areas. Scholars will have direct tutoring in standardized test content and strategies, and assistance in the preparation of graduate school applications. Scholars will be recruited from a national pool of applicants using existing relationships and comprehensive recruitment strategies. Measurable outcomes that assay student research skill development, matriculation into graduate programs, changes in standardized test performance, and science attitudes will be evaluated. This combination of interventions is designed to convey the excitement and culture of scientific research along with the academic and programmatic skill development to prepare Scholars to transition to doctoral study and a biomedical research career. Public Health Relevance Statement: The biomedical workforce at CWRU SOM and other research-intensive institutions nationally is not as diverse as the public at large or even as diverse as baccalaureate earners in Biology, and reflects academic and social factors that must be overcome. We propose that a postbaccalaureate program with extensive research experience in modern, competitive research laboratories, coupled with individualized coursework and professional development will help recent college graduates in natural sciences become fully qualified for doctoral study.

描述（由申请人提供）：科学界的一个主要挑战是增加生物医学劳动力的多样性以及随后在教授中的领导力。为了满足这一需求，我们建议对案例进行干预措施，以准备近期的自然科学大学毕业生在生物医学科学的博士研究中取得成功。该提案要求每年支持8个学者，以从事综合研究生培训计划中的生物化学，生物医学工程，遗传学，分子生物学和微生物学，神经科学，病理学，药理学或生理学和生理学的研究。参加教师的导师都拥有积极且资助良好的研究计划和强大的培训经验。参与的导师位于Case Western Reserve University医学院（CWRU SOM），并且已经通过我们的跨学科博士课程在研究生培训中进行了互动。除了全年作为实验室学徒的一年外，学者还将完成研究生学术课程，以增强其定量技能并探索生物医学研究领域。学者将直接辅导标准化的测试内容和策略，并在准备研究生院申请中提供帮助。学者将使用现有关系和全面招聘策略从全国申请人群中招募。将评估学生研究技能发展，研究生课程的入学，标准化测试表现的变化以及科学态度的可衡量结果。这种干预措施的结合旨在传达科学研究的兴奋和文化以及学术和程序化技能发展，以准备学者过渡到博士研究和生物医学研究职业。 公共卫生相关性声明：CWRU SOM和其他研究密集型机构的生物医学劳动力在全国范围内不像公众那样多样化，甚至不像生物学学士学位者那样多样化，并且反映了必须克服的学术和社会因素。我们建议，在现代，竞争性研究实验室中具有丰富研究经验的后果后计划，再加上个性化的课程和专业发展，将有助于自然科学的近期大学毕业生变得完全有资格获得博士研究。
