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)。该项目将由圣地亚哥州立大学管理，最初将涉及圣地亚哥州立大学的细胞与分子生物学小组（13 名教授）以及来自加州大学圣地亚哥分校生物医学科学博士项目的细胞与分子生物学家（30 名教授）。医学院的计划。将从两个机构的各种研究/培训项目中招募学生（每年 10 名）。近期目标是增加被博士学位录取的申请人数量。和医学博士/博士圣地亚哥州立大学-加州大学圣地亚哥分校和全国的基础生物医学科学项目。长期目标是增加研究型大学教职中代表性不足的少数族裔科学家的数量。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作为受薪入门级实验室技术员参加为期两年的计划，该计划强调通过执业生物医学科学家对学员进行指导。 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 准备以及（第二年）准备和提交研究生院、生物统计学、期刊俱乐部和研讨会的申请，并每月与 PI 和协调员举行小组会议。 3）让每个一年级学员与导师一起参加全国科学会议。 4）让每个第二年的学员在导师的陪同下作为演讲者（海报会议）参加全国科学会议。 5）让每个学生在第二年年底之前准备并提交一篇科学论文以供发表。 6）让每个学生都被录取为博士学位。或医学博士/博士生物医学科学培训计划。 7) 提供一个培养少数族裔学生的作品集和批判性思维技能的项目，以便他们在生物医学科学研究生项目中具有竞争力。外部顾问委员会将每年评估整个计划。该 PREP 项目的独特性源于两个相邻校区的优势结合，这两个校区拥有联合研究生项目以及少数族裔研究/培训项目；注重数据的研究和交流；以及参与博士学位的强大教师的参与。教育。
