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.

项目摘要/摘要 这项提案寻求继续支持布朗大学(更名)的毕业后课程 ‘PREP@Brown)来推进我们的工作，培养一批知识渊博、训练有素的人 他们将继续攻读博士学位，并从事生物医学科学方面的工作。这项工作是对 需要扩大美国STEM员工队伍并使其多样化。从最佳做法和经验教训中吸取信息 我们早期的工作以及与IMSD项目和领导力联盟的关系，我们描述了一个创新的 以一套全面的、可定制的干预措施为特征的计划，以支持和推进 没有充分代表学生的学业和职业发展和成功。 每年，我们的计划将招聘和支持6名研究型学士学位毕业生 代表不足的背景(学者)，并为他们提供跨学科的研究经验， 个性化的学术规划、专业发展和技能培养活动，以增加他们的 对高素质博士项目的竞争力和准备程度。Brown‘s的参与部门 Prep@Brown项目是生命和医学部门的项目，包括生物学、神经科学、 分子微生物学和免疫学、病理生物学、公共卫生、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开发外，多个 辅导和社区建设的机会渗透在PREP@Brown的活动中。这将创建一个 学者社区，将帮助学员顺利完成为毕业做好准备所需的培训 学习。个人发展计划(IDP)的使用将确保Prep@Brown研究、教育 专业发展活动是为满足每位学者的学术和职业目标而量身定做的。这个 Prep@Brown计划还将为教职员工创造机会，让他们参与关于 在生物医学和行为科学领域培养多样化的劳动力。我们已经开发出一种 全面评价计划，以评估实现总目标和目的的成果和进展 这一项目并监测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人数不足的生产 获得生物医学博士学位的学生；将培训和培训的最佳做法制度化 指导不同的学者--可以在布朗社区和更远的地方分享的做法。
