DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recently, New Mexico was recognized as the first 'minority-as-majority' state in the contiguous 48 states, with the highest proportion of Hispanics among the states, and the highest proportion of Native Americans in the continental U.S. The University of New Mexico (UNM) today is rapidly reflecting these demographics, but more is needed to encourage some of our very talented underrepresented minority students to enter doctoral degree programs to prepare for biomedical research careers. This proposal for funding for a UNM Post-Baccalaureate Research and Education Program (PREP) is precisely what is needed. The UNM PREP program is designed with various program elements to encourage and prepare up to 60 post-baccalaureate participants in its first five years to gain acceptance into and to complete doctoral degrees in biomedical research fields. UNM PREP scholars will have a full schedule of activities that all of them participate in: conduct full-time research, be assigned to a peer mentor, attend a year long set of tours of research laboratories, participate in the graduate admission colloquium series. All PREP scholars will attend speakers' events with IMSD and MARC participants, and networking with several programs at UNM during formal activities and informal community-building events. PREP scholars will present posters at the UNM Research Fair and Research Symposium and attend professional conferences. Seminars will help prepare our PREP scholars for pursuing a research career, covering experimental research design approaches, technical writing, research ethics, and public communication. Our PREP scholars will also have the experience of teaching undergraduates about their research topic and methods. Each PREP scholar will be assessed individually to ensure later succeed in graduate studies, and a faculty advisor will work with the student to develop the study plan, and then each scholar will take up to 15 credit hours of coursework to fulfill this plan. Administrative management of the UNM PREP program will be a coordinated effort by a Program Director, a Program Coordinator, and an Executive Board and committees (Recruitment, Education & Research, Events), each responsible for a specific set of activities. Coordination with other funded programs at UNM is planned with the Program Director and Program Coordinator attending and working with the Program Officers and staff of the IMSD and MARC programs as partners in the UNM Unified Plan. Evaluations will be conducted for all activities and mentoring relations on a set schedule, and the data that is collected will be used by both the internal evaluation team and the External Steering Committee, who will assess progress in achieving goals and measurable objectives, and make recommendations for changes in the program plans. Dissemination efforts will include posting pdf documents of PREP scholar poster presentations, having PREP scholars co-author research articles with their faculty mentors, and with the Program Director and faculty mentors writing about the lessons learned in implementing PREP and presenting their results at professional conferences.

描述（由申请人提供）：最近，新墨西哥州被公认为是连续的48个州中的第一个“少数群体”状态，在各州中，西班牙裔在西班牙裔的比例最高，而美国大陆上的美国原住民比例最高的是新墨西哥大学（UNM），如今已迅速反映出这些人口的较小程度，这是我们对这些人群的迅速发展，而我们却需要一些人的才华，而我们却需要一些人的才华横溢，而我们的人口却是多个人的企业。为生物医学研究事业做准备。 这项为联合国统计局后的研究和教育计划（PREP）提供资金的建议正是所需的。 UNM PREP计划的设计具有各种计划要素，可在头五年中鼓励和准备多达60名年龄时代后的参与者，以获得生物医学研究领域的博士学位并填写博士学位。 UNM预科学者将有一个完整的活动时间表，所有活动都参加：进行全日制研究，分配给同伴导师，参加一年的研究实验室，参加研究生录取座谈会系列。 所有培训学者将与IMSD和MARC参与者一起参加演讲者的活动，并在正式活动和非正式社区建设活动中与UNM的多个计划进行联网。 学者将在UNM研究博览会和研究研讨会上介绍海报，并参加专业会议。 研讨会将帮助我们的培训学者为从事研究职业做好准备，涵盖实验研究设计方法，技术写作，研究道德和公共交流。 我们的培训学者还将拥有有关其研究主题和方法的教学本科生的经验。 每个预科学者将进行单独评估，以确保以后在研究生学习中取得成功，并且教师顾问将与学生合作制定学习计划，然后每个学者最多需要15个学分的课程工作来履行该计划。 UNM准备计划的行政管理将是计划主任，计划协调员和执行委员会和委员会（招聘，教育与研究，活动）的协调努力，每个人都负责一组特定的活动。计划与计划主管和计划协调员与IMSD和MARC计划的计划官员和计划协调员一起，作为UNMS和MARC计划的工作人员与UNM的其他资助计划进行协调。 将对所有活动和指导关系进行评估，内部评估团队和外部指导委员会将使用收集的数据进行评估，他们将评估实现目标和可衡量目标的进度，并为计划计划的更改提出建议。 传播工作将包括发布预科学者海报演示文档的PDF文件，与学者合着者的研究文章与他们的教师导师，以及计划主任和教师导师写有关实施Prep和在专业会议上介绍其成果的经验教训的文章。
