DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a program designed to increase the number of minority post-baccalaureates who successfully pursue careers as health related research scientists. It is based on the idea that an enriched experience in research is the best preparation for PhD training in the biomedical sciences. The training consists of a two-year academic research laboratory apprenticeship at the interface of basic and clinical science. This will be complemented with interactive training that is designed to increase skills in scientific writing, seminar presentation and the critical reading of scientific literature. Additional elective didactic training will be offered. This will be structured around the needs of the trainee, ranging from remedial work to graduate biomedical science courses. Collegiality, cooperation and a relationship to the community outside the walls of academe will be fostered. The Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences and Tufts University School of Medicine propose a program that will be built on the foundation of well funded and highly regarded research laboratories; highly successful PhD training in biomedical research and several successful minority-oriented programs already in existence at Tufts. Assessment of the trainees' understanding of their own research, their bench skills, presentation technique and writing skills will be conducted regularly. The ultimate success of this PREP training program will be measured by outcomes: the aim is to have all entering trainees go on to complete MD/PhD or PhD training in a biomedical area.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划旨在增加成功从事健康相关研究科学家职业的少数族裔学士后人数。它基于这样的理念：丰富的研究经验是生物医学博士培训的最佳准备。培训包括基础科学和临床科学交叉领域的为期两年的学术研究实验室学徒期。这将辅之以互动培训，旨在提高科学写作、研讨会演讲和科学文献批判性阅读的技能。将提供额外的选修教学培训。这将围绕学员的需求进行构建，范围从补习工作到研究生生物医学科学课程。将培养学术界之外的共同、合作和与社区的关系。萨克勒生物医学研究生院和塔夫茨大学医学院提出了一项计划，该计划将建立在资金充足且备受推崇的研究实验室的基础上；塔夫茨大学已经开展了非常成功的生物医学研究博士培训和几个成功的面向少数族裔的项目。将定期评估学员对自己研究的理解、工作技能、演示技巧和写作技巧。该 PREP 培训计划的最终成功将通过结果来衡量：目标是让所有进入的学员继续完成生物医学领域的 MD/PhD 或博士培训。
