DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program is designed to provide interim positions for under-represented minority students and students from disadvantaged groups with post- baccalaureate degrees interested in pursuing graduate education. The focus is on research training under a strong research mentor who will provide a supportive laboratory environment to develop the trainee's potential for a career in biomedical research. The Program Director will work with trainees for assignment to mentors according to their stated interests and interviews with faculty they select. Recruitment will be by visiting area minority institutions, national mailings and attendance at national minority conferences, a web site, and contact with students involved in other research training programs at the institution. The program takes advantage of broad, multidisciplinary research activities at Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSM) and the commitment of the Dean of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences to increase diversity. Goals and objectives: 1) increase the number of minority students entering graduate programs at WFUSM from 13% to 18% over five years; 2) maintain retention of minority graduate students comparable to majority students; 3) increase GRE scores of participants to increase their credentials for graduate programs; and 4) have 100% of the participants apply, 75% enter a PhD or MD/PhD program and 60% enter programs at WFUSM. The program includes the opportunity for coursework to strengthen the academic scientific background, based on area of interest and prior strengths and weaknesses. Other courses/information will be provided to improve GRE scores, introduce responsible conduct of science, improve application and resume preparation, and inform on biomedical graduate programs at WFUSM in particular and graduate education in general. We will introduce biomedical research via hands-on participation in a research project and critical scientific evaluation and presentation of journal articles by participation in a journal club. Scientific writing and speaking is developed by writing abstracts and presentation of the research project as a slide and poster presentation each year at the PREP Symposium and lecture. Students will be exposed to research faculty, both basic science and clinical, to foster a long-term commitment to pursue a career in the biomedical sciences through an experience that exemplifies the excitement and challenges of research. Evaluation by students, including former participants, and mentors will be performed annually. This program is a post-baccalaureate research training program designed to provide interim positions for under-represented minority students and students from disadvantaged groups to participate in research projects and academic skills develop to encourage entry into a PhD program.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目旨在为少数民族学生和弱势群体的学生提供临时职位，这些学生拥有学士学位，有兴趣进行研究生教育。重点是在一个强大的研究导师的指导下进行研究培训，他将提供一个支持性的实验室环境，以发展受训者在生物医学研究领域的职业潜力。项目主管将根据学员陈述的兴趣，与他们选择的教师面谈，将学员分配给导师。招聘将通过访问地区少数民族机构、发送全国性邮件、参加全国少数民族会议、网站以及与参与该机构其他研究培训项目的学生联系等方式进行。该项目利用了维克森林大学医学院（WFUSM）广泛的多学科研究活动，以及艺术与科学研究生院院长的承诺，以增加多样性。目标和目标：1)在五年内将少数民族学生进入WFUSM研究生课程的人数从13%增加到18%；2)保持少数民族研究生与多数民族研究生相媲美；3)提高参与者的GRE成绩，以增加其研究生课程的资格；4) 100%的参与者申请，75%进入博士或医学博士/博士课程，60%进入WFUSM课程。该计划包括课程的机会，以加强学术科学背景，基于感兴趣的领域和先前的优势和劣势。将提供其他课程/信息，以提高GRE成绩，介绍负责任的科学行为，改进申请和简历的准备，特别是WFUSM的生物医学研究生课程和研究生教育。我们将通过亲身参与一个研究项目来介绍生物医学研究，并通过参加一个期刊俱乐部来进行批判性的科学评估和发表期刊文章。科学写作和演讲是通过每年在PREP研讨会和讲座上撰写研究项目的摘要和幻灯片和海报展示来发展的。学生将接触到基础科学和临床研究人员，通过体验研究的兴奋和挑战，培养他们在生物医学科学领域的长期职业生涯。由学生，包括以前的参与者和导师每年进行一次评估。
