PROJECT SUMMARY The creation of highly innovative solutions to complex problems impacting human health requires research teams that are rich in cognitive diversity. Cognitive diversity represents the bringing together of people with different backgrounds, viewpoints, and life experiences and is a hallmark of highly innovative teams. Cognitive diversity correlates with identity diversity; it is thus imperative that the translational biomedical sciences workforce includes strong representation of Ph.D. scientists from diverse backgrounds that may imbue new ideas and perspectives to maximize scientific innovation. Unfortunately, cognitive diversity in research teams is currently limited because individuals from specific racial and ethnic groups, those with disabilities, and individuals with low socioeconomic backgrounds, remain significantly underrepresented (UR) in the biomedical sciences. Here, we propose to develop, apply, and evaluate a Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) that will help prepare recent college graduates from UR backgrounds to enter and successfully complete a Ph.D. or dual- doctoral degree program in translational biomedical sciences. At Purdue University, PREP Scholars will have the opportunity to enhance their skill set in four main areas: research aptitude; academics; professional development and career planning; and community and resiliency. Scholars will engage in a yearlong, mentored research experience with an emphasis on preclinical translational studies. The Purdue PREP curriculum is adaptive; Scholars will use an Individual Development Plan (IDP) as a framework and will participate in the educational, professional development, and career planning activities that prepare them for admission to high caliber graduate programs and are aligned with their future career goals. Scholars will be introduced to the breadth of biomedical research and research- related careers along the translational pipeline available to a Ph.D. scientist. The Purdue PREP will adopt a multi-layered, hierarchical approach to mentoring in which each Scholar will work with a network of faculty and near-peer mentors with complementary skills that will provide a broad range of expertise and psychosocial support to enhance Scholars' success. PREP faculty mentors and Scholars will undergo parallel cultural competency training focused on issues of diversity and inclusion as they relate to the academic research environment in order to improve cross-cultural communication and enhance UR student experience. Success will be measured by > 75% of Scholars entering a high quality Ph.D. or dual-doctoral (e.g. DVM-Ph.D.; MD-Ph.D.) degree program upon completion of the one-year Purdue PREP. Formative and summative evaluations will be used to assess Scholars' persistence and progression to a Ph.D. and also the impact of the PREP on fostering an institutional climate of diversity that may enhance UR retention.

项目摘要 创建高度创新的解决方案来影响影响人类健康的复杂问题 具有丰富认知多样性的研究团队。认知多样性代表着汇聚 具有不同背景，观点和生活经验的人，是高度创新的标志 团队。认知多样性与身份多样性相关；因此，必须翻译 生物医学科学的劳动力包括博士学位的强大代表。来自多元化的科学家 可能会掩盖新思想和观点以最大化科学创新的背景。 不幸的是，研究团队的认知多样性目前受到限制，因为来自特定的个人 种族和族裔，残疾人以及社会经济背景低的个人， 在生物医学科学中，保持不足（UR）。在这里，我们建议开发， 申请并评估一项后库后研究教育计划（PREP），该计划将有助于准备 来自UR背景的最近的大学毕业生进入并成功完成了博士学位。或双重 - 转化生物医学科学博士学位课程。在普渡大学，学者将 有机会在四个主要领域提高其技能：研究能力；学术界； 专业发展和职业计划；以及社区和弹性。学者将参与 一年一度的指导研究经验，重点是临床前翻译研究。这 普渡学准备课程是自适应的；学者将使用个人发展计划（IDP）作为 框架并将参加教育，专业发展和职业计划 使他们准备入学高素质研究生课程的活动，并与他们的 未来的职业目标。学者将被引入生物医学研究和研究的广度 - 沿翻译管道的相关职业可用于博士学位。科学家。普渡准备会 采用多层，分层的指导方法，每个学者都可以与网络合作 具有互补技能的教师和近亲导师，这些技能将提供广泛的专业知识 和心理社会支持，以增强学者的成功。准备教师的导师和学者将 接受平行的文化能力培训，重点是多样性和包容性问题 进入学术研究环境，以改善跨文化交流并增强您 学生经验。成功将通过> 75％的学者衡量，进入高质量博士学位。或者 一年一年的普渡大学完成后，双折线（例如DVM-PH.D。; MD-PH.D。）学位课程 准备。形成性和总结性评估将用于评估学者的持久性和 发展为博士学位。以及准备对培养多样性机构气氛的影响 这可能会增强您的保留率。
