UMDNJ-RUTGERS UNIVERSITY PIPELINE PROGRAM

描述（来自应用程序）：本提案旨在继续支持 UMDNJ-罗格斯大学援助代表性不足的管道计划 少数民族（URM）学生进入生物医学研究的职业生涯。这个程序的 名称反映了我们的信念，即需要更广泛的管道来增加数量 为科学事业接受培训的学生。这个项目的中心目标 是增加URM学生攻读博士学位的人数。或医学博士/博士在 生物医学科学这一目标将通过提供夏季和学术 为URM本科生提供为期一年的研究计划，为他们做好准备并激励他们 研究生学习。我们还通过建立一个 灵活的课程，认知技能援助和机会， 来自教育背景不利的URM学生入学， 弱势少数民族学生进入竞争激烈的研究生 在分子生物科学的计划，7之间的合作努力 这两所大学的研究生课程。UMDNJ-Robert Wood约翰逊医疗 学校（RWJMS）是招聘和毕业URM医学生的领导者。 我们计划增加URM学生在医学博士的数量。追求的程序 研究型职业。该计划将包括支持夏季和 URM医学生的学年研究计划，以及增加 URM招聘到医学博士/博士程序.这项建议是根据 两所大学在教育和研究方面的合作，以及 现有的促进统一记录管理系统科学培训的方案。

DESCRIPTION (From Application): This proposal is for continued support of the UMDNJ-Rutgers University Pipeline Program for assisting underrepresented minority (URM) students to enter careers in biomedical research. This program's name reflects our belief that a wider pipeline is needed to increase the number of students in training for science careers. The central goal of this project is to increase the number of URM students seeking the Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences. This goal will be met by providing summer and academic year research programs for URM undergraduates, to prepare and motivate them for graduate studies. We have also "widened the pipeline" by establishing a flexible curriculum, cognitive skills assistance and an opportunity for admission by URM students from educationally disadvantage backgrounds to enable disadvantaged minority students to enter the highly competitive graduate programs in the Molecular Biosciences, a collaborative effort between 7 graduate programs of these two universities. UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) is a leader in recruiting and graduating URM medical students. We plan to increase the number of URM students in the M.D. program who pursue research-oriented careers. This program will include support for summer and academic year research programs for URM medical students, as well as increased URM recruitment into the M.D./Ph.D. program. This proposal is based on the collaboration between the two universities in education and research, and their existing programs promoting scientific training of URMs.
