DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the proposed ASU Biomedical PREP program is to provide 1-2 years of preparation beyond the undergraduate level to prepare underrepresented minority graduates to smoothly transition into highly competitive graduate programs, to successfully complete those programs and to go on to pursue careers as strong investigators who address important current and future biomedical problems, including health issues and disparities in minority populations. The aims of the program are to (1) provide students with a strong intensive mentored research experience, (2) strengthen communication and quantitative skills, (3) provide insight into all biomedical career options, including information about biomedical research focused on health improvement of minority populations. Funds are requested to support five PREP scholars in the first year and five additional scholars in each of the subsequent years, resulting in ten scholars being in residence in years two through five. PREP scholars will be recruited from the three ASU campuses and through contact points established with the University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University and universities and organizations throughout the country. Scholars will spend 70-75% of their time in the laboratory doing research. A selection committee consisting of the Program Director and representative participating faculty will match scholars with mentors, based on available projects and interests expressed by the scholars. PREP scholars will attend seminars to broaden their perspective of biomedical research and provide opportunities to meet and interact with successful scientist. Scholars will also attend and present in a weekly journal club to learn how to critically review, present and discuss scientific data. Each scholar wil attend the local graduate student symposium during their first year and will present data from their research project during the second year. Scholars will attend one national meeting with the mentor during their first year and will be expected to present their research results at a meeting during their second year. Scholars will take one course each semester to strengthen or enhance their academic background. All scholars will be given training in bioethics during their first year. The Program Director, Steering Committee, participating mentors and evaluator will evaluate the ASU Biomedical PREP program on a continuing basis. External advisors/reviewers will be included in the review the program at the end of years 2 and 4.

描述（由申请人提供）：提议的亚利桑那州立大学生物医学预科项目的总体目标是提供1-2年的准备，使未被充分代表的少数民族毕业生顺利过渡到竞争激烈的研究生项目，成功完成这些项目，并继续追求职业生涯，成为解决重要的当前和未来生物医学问题的强有力的研究人员，包括少数民族人口的健康问题和差异。该计划的目的是(1)为学生提供强大的密集指导研究经验，(2)加强沟通和定量技能，(3)提供对所有生物医学职业选择的见解，包括关注少数民族健康改善的生物医学研究信息。资金要求在第一年支持五名PREP学者，随后每年额外支持五名学者，从而在第二到第五年有十名学者居住。预科学者将从亚利桑那州立大学的三个校区招募，并通过与亚利桑那大学和北亚利桑那大学以及全国各地的大学和组织建立的联络点招募。学者们将花70-75%的时间在实验室做研究。一个由项目主任和参会教师代表组成的评选委员会将根据可用的项目和学者表达的兴趣为学者匹配导师。PREP学者将参加研讨会，以扩大他们对生物医学研究的看法，并提供机会与成功的科学家见面和互动。学者们还将参加每周的期刊俱乐部，学习如何批判性地审查、展示和讨论科学数据。每位学者将在第一年参加当地的研究生研讨会，并在第二年展示他们研究项目的数据。学者将在第一年与导师一起参加一次全国会议，并将在第二年的会议上展示他们的研究成果。学者每学期选修一门课程，以加强或提高他们的学术背景。所有学者在第一年都将接受生物伦理学方面的培训。项目主任，指导委员会，参与导师和评估人员将持续评估亚利桑那州立大学生物医学预科项目。外部顾问/审稿人将在第2年和第4年结束时参与该计划的审查。
