项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The UTMB ‘PREPing for SUCCESS’ PREP program is designed to provide promising post-baccalaureate trainees from groups underrepresented in the sciences (underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, socioeconomically disadvantaged students) demonstrating an aptitude for research, with a rigorous and enriching one-year training experience that will enhance their skills and confidence to successfully matriculate into and complete a PhD program. The program provides scholars/trainees with an immersive research experience in a funded top-tier laboratory (75% full-time effort) with development activities (25% full-time effort) that will help them build academic and professional skills, develop a science identity, reinforce the motivation to pursue and obtain a PhD. UTMB’s PREP program will help increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who successfully pursue and complete a PhD in the biomedical sciences, and enter the biomedical research workforce - a benefit expected to heighten our nation’s scientific innovation, discovery and global impact, with outcomes that are more likely to benefit underserved populations. Our recruitment strategy makes use of long-standing partnerships with faculty advisors from minority-serving universities across Texas to identify and attract students with high potential for pursuing a PhD that will benefit from focused research and professional skills development to matriculate into a PhD program. Actively working with our academic partners, 8 students/year will be recruited from a competitive pool of applicants to enroll in the year- long PREP program. The program strategy to reach our goal of > 75% matriculation and graduation rate, includes student-level interventions to develop each individual’s academic and research skills and confidence, as well as interventions designed to reduce external factors that impede success, including enhanced mentor training to optimize mentor-scholar relationships. Scholars will have multiple lines of mentoring and personal counseling. Additional special features of PREP involve the use of an innovative individual student development plan that includes a skills matching workshop to maximize potential for success, the involvement of PREP alumni and graduate students and postdocs from underrepresented groups in the program, training in responsible conduct of research, the ability of scholars to earn a graduate certificate, and continued mentoring beyond the PREP program for enhancing retention. Our goal is that we not only meet, but also exceed, the target of 75% of PREP scholars entering a doctoral program at a top tier research intensive graduate school.

项目摘要 UTMB 'PREPing for SUCCESS' PREP计划旨在提供有前途的学士学位后来自在科学领域代表性不足的群体（代表性不足的少数民族，残疾人，社会经济上处于不利地位的学生）表现出研究能力，具有严格和丰富的一年培训经验，将提高他们的技能和信心，成功入学完成博士课程该计划为学者/学员提供沉浸式研究在受资助的顶级实验室（75%全职工作）和开发活动（25%全职工作）的经验这将帮助他们建立学术和专业技能，发展科学身份，加强动力，追求并获得博士学位。UTMB的PREP计划将有助于增加来自代表性不足的群体谁成功地追求并完成了生物医学科学博士学位，并进入生物医学研究队伍-预期将提高我们国家的科学创新，发现和全球影响，其结果更有可能使服务不足的人群受益。我们的招聘战略利用与少数民族服务大学的教师顾问的长期伙伴关系，德克萨斯州将确定和吸引具有高潜力的学生攻读博士学位，这将受益于专注于研究和专业技能发展，以进入博士课程。积极与我们的学术合作伙伴，8名学生/年将从竞争激烈的申请人中招募，在这一年入学- 长PREP程序该计划的战略，以达到我们的目标> 75%的入学率和毕业率，包括学生层面的干预措施，以发展每个人的学术和研究技能和信心，以及旨在减少阻碍成功的外部因素的干预措施，包括加强导师培训，优化师生关系。学者将有多条指导和个人咨询线。 PREP的其他特色包括使用创新的学生个人发展计划，包括一个技能匹配研讨会，以最大限度地提高成功的潜力，PREP校友的参与，研究生和博士后从代表性不足的群体在该计划中，培训负责任的行为研究，学者获得研究生证书的能力，以及PREP之外的持续指导计划，以提高留存率。我们的目标是，我们不仅要达到，而且要超过PREP的75%的目标。学者进入一个顶级研究密集型研究生院的博士课程。
