DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): San Diego State University (SDSU) and University of California San Diego (UCSD) propose a joint Post Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP). The program will be administered by SDSU and will initially involve the Cell & Molecular Biology group (13 professors) of SDSU and the cell & molecular biologists (30 professors) from the UCSD-Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. Program at the School of Medicine. Students (10 per year) will be recruited from the various research/training programs at both institutions. The immediate goal is to increase the number of under-represented applicants accepted to the Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. programs in basic biomedical sciences both at SDSU-UCSD and nationally. The longer-term goal is to increase the number of under-represented minority scientists in faculty positions at research universities. We propose to achieve these goals by focusing on the following specific aims: 1) Annually to accept 10 underrepresented recent college graduates to enter training as salaried entry-level laboratory technicians for a two-year program that emphasizes mentoring of trainees by practicing biomedical scientists. 2) To provide strong coursework to all trainees, including (year 1) development of writing and speaking skills, ethical issues in biomedical research, and GRE preparation and (year 2) preparation and submission of applications to graduate school, bio-statistics, journal club, and seminars, with monthly group meeting with PI and coordinator throughout. 3 ) To have each 1st year trainee attend a national scientific meeting with the mentor. 4) To have each 2nd year trainee attend a national scientific meeting as a presenter (poster session), accompanied by the mentor. 5 ) To have each student prepare and submit for publication a scientific paper by the end of the second year. 6) To have each student accepted into a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. training program in the biomedical sciences. 7) To provide a program that develops the portfolios and critical thinking skills of minority students so that they will be competitive for any graduate program in biomedical sciences. An external Advisory Board will assess the entire Program annually. The unique character of this PREP program derives from the combination of the strengths of two neighboring campuses that have joint Graduate programs as well as minority research/training programs; the focus on research and communication of data; and the participation of strong faculty who are involved in Ph.D. education.

描述（由申请人提供）：圣地亚哥州立大学（SDSU）和加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）提出联合学士学位后研究教育计划（PREP）。该项目将由SDSU管理，最初将涉及SDSU的细胞与分子生物学小组（13名教授）和ucsd -生物医学科学博士项目的细胞与分子生物学家（30名教授）。学生（每年10名）将从两个机构的各种研究/培训项目中招募。当前的目标是增加被博士和医学博士/博士录取的人数。在加州大学圣地亚哥分校和全国范围内开展基础生物医学科学项目。长期目标是增加在研究型大学担任教职的少数族裔科学家的人数。我们建议通过关注以下具体目标来实现这些目标：1)每年接受10名代表性不足的应届大学毕业生进入为期两年的受薪入门级实验室技术人员培训项目，该项目强调由执业生物医学科学家指导学员。2)为所有学员提供强有力的课程，包括（第一年）写作和口语技能的发展，生物医学研究中的伦理问题，GRE准备，（第二年）准备和提交研究生院申请，生物统计学，期刊俱乐部和研讨会，每月与PI和协调员举行小组会议。3)让每位一年级学员与导师一起参加一次全国科学会议。4)让每个二年级学员在导师的陪同下，作为演讲者（海报会议）参加一次国家科学会议。5)每位学生在第二年年底前准备并提交一篇科学论文。6)让每个学生都被博士或医学博士录取。生物医学方面的培训项目。7)提供一个培养少数民族学生作品集和批判性思维技能的项目，使他们在任何生物医学科学研究生项目中都具有竞争力。外部咨询委员会将每年对整个项目进行评估。这个PREP项目的独特之处在于两个相邻校区的优势相结合，这两个校区有联合研究生项目和少数民族研究/培训项目；注重数据的研究和交流；以及参与博士教育的强大教师的参与。
