Project Summary/Abstract This proposal seeks continued support for the Postbaccalaueate program at Brown University (renamed ‘PREP@Brown) to advance our work in developing a diverse pool of knowledgeable and well-trained individuals who go on to pursue Ph.D. degree training and careers in the biomedical sciences. This work responds to the need to expand and diversify the U.S. STEM workforce. Informed by best practices and lessons learned from our early work and relationships with our IMSD program and the Leadership Alliance, we describe an innovative program characterized by a comprehensive and customizable set of interventions to support and advance underrepresented students' academic and career development and success. Each year, our program will recruit and support six research-oriented baccalaureate graduates from underrepresented backgrounds (The Scholars) and provide them with interdisciplinary research experiences, individualized academic planning, professional development, and skill-building activities to increase their competitiveness and readiness for high-caliber doctoral programs. Participating departments for Brown's PREP@Brown program are those in the Life and Medical Sciences Division and include biology, neuroscience, molecular microbiology and immunology, pathobiology, public health, and cognitive, linguistic, and psychological sciences. In addition to intensive interdisciplinary research experiences and knowledge development, multiple mentorship and community-building opportunities permeate the activities of PREP@Brown. This will create a community of scholars that will help Participants successfully navigate training needed for readiness for graduate studies. The use of Individual Development Plans (IDP) will ensure that PREP@Brown research, educational and professional development activities are tailored to address each Scholar’s academic and career goals. The PREP@Brown Program will also create opportunities for faculty to engage in conversations about the importance of developing a diverse workforce in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. We have developed a comprehensive evaluation plan to assess outcomes and progress toward meeting the overall goal and aims of this project and monitor quality assurance across the proposed interventions. As designed, PREP@Brown has begun to, and will continue to increase the production of underrepresented students who obtain a doctoral degree in the biomedical sciences; institutionalize best practices on training and mentoring of diverse scholars – practices that can be shared among the Brown community and beyond.

项目概要/摘要 该提案寻求继续支持布朗大学学士后项目（更名为 ‘PREP@Brown) 推进我们的工作，培养知识渊博、训练有素的多元化人才库 继续攻读博士学位的人生物医学科学的学位培训和职业。这项工作响应了 需要扩大美国 STEM 劳动力并使其多样化。汲取最佳实践和经验教训 我们的早期工作以及与 IMSD 计划和领导力联盟的关系，我们描述了一种创新的 计划的特点是提供一套全面且可定制的干预措施来支持和推进 学生的学术和职业发展及成功的代表性不足。 每年，我们的计划都会招募和支持来自以下国家的六名研究型学士学位毕业生： 代表性不足的背景（学者）并为他们提供跨学科研究经验， 个性化的学术规划、专业发展和技能建设活动，以提高他们的能力 高水平博士课程的竞争力和准备度。布朗大学的参与部门 PREP@Brown 项目是生命和医学科学部门的项目，包括生物学、神经科学、 分子微生物学和免疫学、病理学、公共卫生以及认知、语言和心理学 科学。除了密集的跨学科研究经验和知识发展之外，多个 指导和社区建设机会贯穿于 PREP@Brown 的活动中。这将创建一个 学者社区将帮助参与者成功完成研究生准备所需的培训 研究。个人发展计划 (IDP) 的使用将确保 PREP@Brown 研究、教育 和专业发展活动都是针对每位学者的学术和职业目标而量身定制的。这 PREP@Brown 计划还将为教师创造机会参与有关重要性的对话 在生物医学和行为科学领域培养多元化的劳动力。我们开发了一个 全面评估计划，评估实现总体目标和目标的成果和进展 该项目并监督拟议干预措施的质量保证。 按照设计，PREP@Brown 已经开始并将继续增加代表性不足的人的产量 获得生物医学博士学位的学生；将培训和培训方面的最佳实践制度化 对不同学者的指导——可以在布朗社区内外共享的做法。
