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）：该计划旨在为代表性不足的少数民族学生和来自弱势群体的学生提供临时职位，这些学生有兴趣攻读研究生教育。重点是在强大的研究导师的指导下进行研究培训，导师将提供支持性的实验室环境，以开发受训者在生物医学研究领域的潜力。项目总监将与学员合作，根据他们所陈述的兴趣和与他们选择的教师的面试分配给导师。招聘将通过访问地区少数民族机构，全国邮件和出席全国少数民族会议，网站，并与学生接触参与其他研究培训方案在该机构。该计划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。目的和目标：1）在五年内将进入WFUSM研究生课程的少数民族学生人数从13%增加到18%; 2）保持少数民族研究生与大多数学生的保留率; 3）提高参与者的GRE分数，以增加他们的研究生课程证书;和4）有100%的参与者申请，75%进入博士或MD/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，根据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，介绍科学的负责任行为，提高应用程序和简历的准备，并通知在WFUSM生物医学研究生课程，特别是研究生教育一般。我们将介绍生物医学研究，通过动手参与研究项目和批判性的科学评价和期刊文章的介绍，通过参加期刊俱乐部。科学写作和演讲是通过编写摘要和研究项目的演示文稿作为幻灯片和海报演示每年在PREP研讨会和讲座。学生将接触到研究教师，无论是基础科学和临床，以促进长期致力于追求职业生涯在生物医学科学通过体验，体现了研究的兴奋和挑战。学生，包括以前的参与者和导师的评估将每年进行一次。 该计划是一个学士学位后的研究培训计划，旨在为代表性不足的少数民族学生和弱势群体的学生提供临时职位，以参与研究项目和学术技能的发展，以鼓励进入博士课程。
