项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The racial and ethnic diversity of the American population is not reflected in the biomedical research workforce or in the faculty at research universities and medical schools. Lack of intensive research experiences during their undergraduate studies leaves many underrepresented minority students unprepared to apply to highly competitive Ph.D. and MD-Ph.D. programs. The goal of this Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) is to provide underrepresented minority students who want to pursue a career in biomedical research with the intensive research experience and academic enrichment to make them competitive applicants to rigorous Ph.D. and MD-Ph.D. programs. Einstein has a long history of successfully mentoring underrepresented minority students through both its Ph.D. and MD-Ph.D. programs. We will use a layered mentoring system to support the PREP trainees and integrate them into the Einstein community. Each trainee will have a URM Ph.D. and MD-Ph.D. peer mentor, a faculty Program Advisor and a research mentor. The program will begin with a two week Orientation and Boot Camp period. Trainees will work with their Program Advisor and research mentor to formulate an Individual Development Plan (IDP). The mentored research project will emphasize the process of hypothesis-based research, the excitement and joy of scientific discovery, and the persistence and creativity needed to achieve success. The academic component of the program will include: 1) workshops on study skills/time management and library/bibliographic search techniques, 2) a graduate course in Biomedical Research Methods and Analysis, 3) a month long Medical Correlation and 4) a weekly PREP journal club. The course will provide a conceptual understanding of the major experimental approaches used in modern biomedical research. The PREP Journal Club will teach critical reading of the literature. Throughout the program special emphasis will be placed on development of oral, written and poster communication skills through lectures, workshops and individual practice. Trainees will perfect their professional skill through Career & Professional Development workshops and perform videotaped mock interviews to improve their ability to communicate their strengths in the interview process for Ph.D. or MD-Ph.D. programs. In collaboration with the Hispanic Center of Excellence, trainees will be involved in community outreach through visits to local Bronx high schools with a high percentage of URM students. This combination of didactic and experiential learning will prepare the applicants to apply successfully to highly competitive Ph.D. and MD-Ph.D. programs. We expect that more than 75% of the trainees will matriculate and successfully complete such programs. This will expand the diversity of our own graduate programs and ultimately the faculty at Einstein and beyond.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国人口的种族和民族多样性并未反映在生物医学研究队伍或研究型大学和医学院的教职人员中。本科学习期间缺乏深入的研究经验，导致许多少数族裔学生没有准备好申请竞争激烈的博士学位。和医学博士程序。该学士后研究教育计划 (PREP) 的目标是为想要从事生物医学研究职业的少数族裔学生提供深入的研究经验和丰富的学术知识，使他们成为严格的博士学位申请者的竞争者。和医学博士程序。爱因斯坦在通过其博士和博士学位成功指导少数族裔学生方面有着悠久的历史。和医学博士程序。我们将使用分层指导系统来支持 PREP 学员并将他们融入 Einstein 社区。每位学员都将拥有 URM 博士学位。和医学博士同行导师、教师项目顾问和研究导师。该计划将从为期两周的迎新和训练营开始。学员将与他们的项目顾问和研究导师一起制定个人发展计划（IDP）。指导的研究项目将强调基于假设的研究过程、科学发现的兴奋和喜悦，以及取得成功所需的坚持和创造力。该计划的学术部分将包括：1）学习技能/时间管理和图书馆/书目搜索技术研讨会，2）生物医学研究方法和分析研究生课程，3）为期一个月的医学相关性和4）每周一次的PREP期刊俱乐部。该课程将提供对现代生物医学研究中使用的主要实验方法的概念性理解。 PREP 期刊俱乐部将教授文献批判性阅读。在整个项目中，将特别强调通过讲座、研讨会和个人练习来发展口头、书面和海报沟通技巧。学员将通过职业和专业发展研讨会完善他们的专业技能，并进行录像模拟面试，以提高他们在博士面试过程中展示自己优势的能力。或医学博士学位程序。与西班牙裔卓越中心合作，学员将通过参观 URM 学生比例较高的当地布朗克斯高中来参与社区外展活动。这种教学和体验式学习的结合将为申请者成功申请竞争激烈的博士学位做好准备。和医学博士程序。我们预计超过 75% 的学员将入学并成功完成此类课程。这将扩大我们自己的研究生课程的多样性，并最终扩大爱因斯坦及其他学院教师的多样性。
