PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overall goal of the renewal of the 2017-2022 Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans (LSUHSC- NO) is to enhance the diversity of the BMS research workforce by continuing equitable and expanded access to research skills and training, thereby yielding increased competitiveness, acceptance, and completion of Ph.D. BMS programs by individuals who are underrepresented in science, such as persons from backgrounds that have been historically-excluded, and/or socioeconomically disadvantaged, and/or persons with disabilities. In the U.S. during 2018-2019, 19% of STEM Bachelor’s degrees were conferred to students from groups un- derrepresented in the sciences; while 10% earned Master’s degrees, and only 7% earned a PhD degree. In Louisiana during 2019-2020, 31% of Biological and Biomedical Sciences Bachelor’s degrees were earned by students from groups underrepresented in science, while 18% earned Master’s degrees, and only 6% earned a PhD degree. Sixty-two percent of our former PREP Scholars are currently enrolled in PhD programs. LSUHSC- NO PREP will accept 30 recent eligible baccalaureate science graduates over 5 years for intensive research and innovative academic training experiences to foster success in BMS doctoral degree programs. The PREP will enhance competitiveness for acceptance, retention, and completion of BMS Ph.D. programs by providing: 1) intensive research experiences with committed and funded faculty mentors; and 2) essential skills development training during the 1-yr training. Solid foundations in research skills will be provided by the following: 1) concen- trated education in scientific critical thinking, analysis of results using statistics, and writing; 2) inventive and personalized test-taking skills to improve GRE scores and success in graduate courses; 3) experience in oral and poster scientific presentations; 4) training in responsible and ethical conduct in research, rigor, and repro- ducibility; and 5) writing a personal statement, selecting, applying, and interviewing for graduate schools. Schol- ars will participate in weekly skills and career development workshops hosted by PREP faculty, internal and external scientists; join graduate students in skills development programs, courses, and seminars; present their research at the annual PREP symposium and local and national scientific conferences; mentor summer research fellows; assist in community science education programs; and participate in community outreach. Thirty-six LSU- HSC-NO active research faculty, committed to the PREP, have extensive experience in mentoring high school, undergraduate, medical, predoctoral, and postdoctoral students representing students underrepresented in the BMS through NIH R01, P20, T32, R25, R35, and other funding mechanisms. Scholar recruitment efforts will extend to 4 local historically black colleges and 2 state universities, to develop a community-wide mechanism to support the BMS workforce. The program will be evaluated using formative and summative methodologies & quantitative and qualitative statistics to document success.

项目总结/摘要 2017-2022年学士后研究教育计划（PREP）更新的总体目标 位于新奥尔良的路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心的生物医学科学（BMS）（LSUHSC- NO）是通过继续公平和扩大获得BMS研究人员的多样性， 研究技能和培训，从而提高竞争力，接受，并完成博士学位。 BMS计划的个人谁是在科学代表性不足，如来自背景的人， 在历史上被排斥，和/或社会经济上处于不利地位，和/或残疾人。在 在2018-2019年期间，美国19%的STEM学士学位授予了来自非政府组织的学生， 在科学领域，只有10%的人获得硕士学位，只有7%的人获得博士学位。在 路易斯安那州在2019-2020年期间，31%的生物和生物医学科学学士学位是由 来自科学领域代表性不足的群体的学生中，18%获得了硕士学位，只有6%获得了 博士学位。我们的前PREP学者的百分之六十二目前就读于博士课程。LSUHSC- 没有准备将接受30个最近合格的学士学位科学毕业生超过5年的深入研究， 创新的学术培训经验，以促进BMS博士学位课程的成功。PREP将 提高竞争力的接受，保留，并完成BMS博士学位。通过提供方案：1） 密集的研究经验与承诺和资助教师导师;和2）基本技能的发展 在1年的培训中。在研究技能的坚实基础将提供以下：1）浓度- 科学批判性思维，使用统计学分析结果和写作的教育; 2）创造性和 个性化的应试技巧，以提高GRE成绩和研究生课程的成功; 3）口语经验 和海报科学演示; 4）在研究，严谨性和复制方面进行负责任和道德行为的培训， 5）写个人陈述，选择，申请和面试研究生院。学校 ars将参加由PREP教师，内部和外部主办的每周技能和职业发展研讨会， 外部科学家;加入技能发展计划，课程和研讨会的研究生;呈现他们的 在年度PREP研讨会和地方和国家科学会议上进行研究;导师夏季研究 研究员;协助社区科学教育计划;并参与社区外展。三十六个路易斯安那州立大学- HSC-NO积极的研究教师，致力于PREP，在指导高中有丰富的经验， 本科生，医学，博士前和博士后学生代表学生在代表性不足， BMS通过NIH R 01，P20，T32，R25，R35和其他资助机制。学者招募工作将 扩大到4所地方历史悠久的黑人学院和2所州立大学，以建立一个全社区的机制， 支持BMS员工。该计划将使用形成性和总结性方法进行评估& 定量和定性统计，以记录成功。
