DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a program designed to increase the number of post-baccalaureates from currently under-represented groups who become leading biomedical research scientists. It is based on the idea that an enriched hands-on experience in research is the best preparation for PhD training. The training typically consists of a one year academic research laboratory apprenticeship pursuing a hypothesis-driven research project. This core experience is complemented with interactive training to increase skills in scientific writing, oral presentation and the critical reading and interpretation of scientific literature. Trainees will be offered additional elective didactic training appropriate to their research project. Collegiality and cooperation will be fostered. The Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences and Tufts University School of Medicine propose a training plan that will be built on the foundation of well funded and highly regarded research laboratories; highly successful experiences in PhD training in biomedical research and several successful training programs that target underrepresented groups. Assessment of the trainees' understanding of their own research, their bench skills, writing skills, presentation technique and leadership skills will be conducted regularly. Evaluation instruments are in place that will provide measurements for improving the training experience. The ultimate success of this PREP training program will be measured by outcomes: the aim is to have more than 80% of entering trainees go on to obtain an MD/PhD or PhD from a research-intense school.

描述(由申请者提供)：这是一个计划，旨在增加从目前代表不足的群体毕业后成为领先生物医学研究科学家的人数。它是基于这样一种理念，即丰富的研究实践经验是为博士培训做的最好准备。培训通常包括为期一年的学术研究实验室学徒培训，以追求假设驱动的研究项目。这一核心经验与互动培训相辅相成，以提高科学写作、口头陈述以及科学文献的批判性阅读和解释方面的技能。学员将接受与他们的研究项目相适应的额外选修课教学培训。促进共事合作。萨克勒生物医学研究生院和塔夫茨大学医学院提出了一项培训计划，该计划将建立在资金充足和备受尊敬的研究实验室、在生物医学研究方面非常成功的博士培训经验以及针对代表性不足群体的几个成功培训计划的基础上。将定期评估学员对自己的研究的了解、他们的板凳技能、写作技能、陈述技巧和领导技能。评价工具已经到位，将提供改善培训体验的措施。这一预备培训计划的最终成功将以结果来衡量：其目标是让80%以上的新学员继续从研究密集型学校获得医学博士学位或博士学位。
