DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To provide deeper and longer exposure of bright, underrepresented minority students to biomedical science, the University of South Carolina has formed a consortium of HBCUs to provide a stream of potential applicants to a proposed new PREP program. The PREP program will increase the level of qualified URM applicants to our graduate programs by offering minority students the opportunity to work full-time in biomedical research laboratories while preparing for Graduate School. The cooperating HBCUs will provide a large pool of students, well educated in the theory of biology but deficient in research exposure. The specific goals of the PREP program are: 1) To recruit qualified underrepresented minorities with a Bachelor's degree in a bio-medically relevant field to participate in active, funded research programs. 2) To improve research skills of PREP scholars through active laboratory participation in a mentored relationship with a faculty member and with graduate students/postdoctoral fellows. 3) To improve the analytical, English and quantitative skills of all students through hands on training, special course offerings (including GRE preparation), and participation in seminars and journal clubs so that all PREP scholars have competitive GRE scores to enter a well-respected graduate program as a doctoral student. 4) To help the students establish relationships among peers and faculty at USC and elsewhere in the research community so that the PREP scholar has well-defined career goals.

描述(由申请者提供)：为了让聪明、代表性不足的少数族裔学生更深入、更长时间地接触生物医学科学，南卡罗来纳大学成立了HBCU联盟，为拟议中的新预科项目提供潜在申请者流。预科计划将通过为少数族裔学生提供在准备研究生院期间在生物医学研究实验室全职工作的机会，提高我们研究生课程合格的URM申请者的水平。合作的HBCU将提供一大批学生，他们受过良好的生物学理论教育，但缺乏研究接触。PREP计划的具体目标是：1)招募在生物医学相关领域拥有学士学位的合格的未被充分代表的少数民族参加积极的、受资助的研究计划。2)通过积极参与实验室与教员和研究生/博士后研究员的指导关系，提高预科学者的研究技能。3)通过实际操作培训、提供特殊课程(包括GRE准备)以及参加研讨会和期刊俱乐部，提高所有学生的分析、英语和量化技能，使所有预科学者都有有竞争力的GRE成绩，以进入备受尊敬的研究生项目。4)帮助学生在南加州大学和其他研究社区的同行和教职员工之间建立关系，以便预科学者有明确的职业目标。
