ABSTRACT The long-term objective of UNC PREP in the Biomedical Sciences is to increase the number of highly trained under-represented (UR) biomedical scientists in leadership positions who can significantly impact the health-related research needs of the nation. The immediate goal of UNC PREP is to equip, encourage, and empower talented UR post-baccalaureates to matriculate and excel in top biological and biomedical graduate programs. Since its inception in 2010, UNC PREP has strived to support the unique needs of each scholar and to facilitate their transition into competitive PhD or MD/PhD programs and research careers. We will continue to provide immersive high-quality research experiences, relevant comprehensive professional development training, supportive program staff with scientific research backgrounds, and cohesive community of like-minded scholars with similar professional goals. An overarching theme of UNC PREP is for each scholar to develop their “science identity” and to acquire scientific self-efficacy, so that they see themselves as belonging in the greater scientific community. In addition, UNC PREP provides each trainee with a network of colleagues and mentors who can offer guidance and support success throughout their career. The specific aims for UNC PREP are 1) to formulate and carry out Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for each scholar, 2) to provide an immersive research experience under the direction of a UNC faculty member (75% time), 3) to provide comprehensive relevant coursework and professional development (25% time) for building additional skills important for a successful science career, and 4) to have at least 80% of scholars transition directly into competitive biomedical PhD programs. The program components will be continuously evaluated using quantitative and qualitative measures of student progress and outcomes and will drive evolution of program components to maximize positive outcomes and the development of well trained and prepared scholars. During the first six years of UNC PREP, 89% of our scholars transitioned directly into top biomedical PhD programs with 94% retention in or completion of these programs. This competitive renewal will continue to build upon the highly effective strategies of UNC PREP. Ultimate success of UNC PREP will be defined as scholars completing PhD programs and entering high-quality postdoctoral positions, and later, faculty and leadership positions in academia, government, or industry.

摘要 在生物医学科学中的长期目标是增加高度 受过培训的代表性不足（UR）的生物医学科学家在领导职位谁可以显着 影响国家的健康相关研究需求。该项目的近期目标是装备， 鼓励，并授权有才华的UR后学士学位，以录取并在顶级生物学中脱颖而出 和生物医学研究生课程。自2010年成立以来，该组织一直致力于支持 每个学者的独特需求，并促进他们过渡到竞争力博士或MD/博士 计划和研究事业。我们将继续提供沉浸式的高质量研究 经验，相关的全面专业发展培训，支持计划人员 具有科学研究背景，志同道合的学者组成的有凝聚力的社区， 专业目标。一个首要的主题是为每个学者发展他们的“科学” “身份”和获得科学的自我效能感，使他们认为自己属于更大的 科学界。此外，EMPREP还为每位学员提供同事网络， 能够在整个职业生涯中提供指导和支持的导师。具体目标为 奖学金准备是1）制定和实施个人发展计划（IDPs）为每个学者， 2)在一名教师的指导下提供身临其境的研究体验（75%） 3）提供全面的相关课程和专业发展（25%的时间）， 培养对成功的科学事业至关重要的额外技能，以及4）至少80%的 学者直接过渡到竞争激烈的生物医学博士课程。该计划的组成部分将 使用学生进步的定量和定性措施进行持续评估， 成果，并将推动方案组成部分的演变，以最大限度地发挥积极成果， 培养训练有素、准备充分的学者。在前六年的准备工作中，89%的 我们的学者直接过渡到顶级生物医学博士课程，94%的保留率或 完成这些方案。这种竞争性的更新将继续建立在高度 有效的策略。最终的成功将被定义为学者 完成博士课程，进入高质量的博士后职位，后来，教师和 在学术界、政府或工业界担任领导职务。
