DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A major challenge for the scientific community is to increase diversity in the biomedical workforce and subsequent leadership in the professoriate. To address this need, we propose interventions in the Case PREP to prepare recent college graduates in natural sciences to be successful in doctoral study in the biomedical sciences. This proposal requests support for 8 Scholars per year to engage in research in biochemistry, biomedical engineering, genetics, molecular biology and microbiology, neuroscience, nutrition, pathology, pharmacology or physiology and biophysics within in an integrated postgraduate training program. Participating faculty mentors all have active and well-funded research programs and strong training experience. The participating mentors are located at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine (CWRU SOM) and already interact in the training of graduate students through our interdisciplinary PhD programs. In addition to a full year as a laboratory apprentice, scholars will complete graduate academic coursework to augment their quantitative skills and to explore biomedical research areas. Scholars will have direct tutoring in standardized test content and strategies, and assistance in the preparation of graduate school applications. Scholars will be recruited from a national pool of applicants using existing relationships and comprehensive recruitment strategies. Measurable outcomes that assay student research skill development, matriculation into graduate programs, changes in standardized test performance, and science attitudes will be evaluated. This combination of interventions is designed to convey the excitement and culture of scientific research along with the academic and programmatic skill development to prepare Scholars to transition to doctoral study and a biomedical research career.

描述（由申请人提供）：科学界面临的一个主要挑战是增加生物医学工作人员的多样性和随后的教授领导能力。为了解决这一需求，我们在案例准备中提出了干预措施，以帮助自然科学专业的应届大学毕业生在生物医学科学的博士研究中取得成功。该提案要求每年支持8名学者在综合研究生培训计划中从事生物化学，生物医学工程，遗传学，分子生物学和微生物学，神经科学，营养学，病理学，药理学或生理学和生物物理学的研究。参与的教师导师都有活跃的、资金充足的研究项目和丰富的培训经验。参与的导师位于凯斯西储大学医学院（CWRU SOM），他们已经通过我们的跨学科博士课程参与了研究生的培训。除了作为实验室学徒的一整年，学者们还将完成研究生学术课程，以增强他们的定量分析技能并探索生物医学研究领域。学生将在标准化考试内容和策略方面获得直接指导，并在准备研究生院申请方面获得帮助。将利用现有关系和综合招聘策略从全国申请者中招聘学者。将评估学生研究技能发展、研究生入学、标准化考试成绩变化和科学态度等可衡量的结果。这种干预的组合旨在传达科学研究的兴奋和文化，以及学术和编程技能的发展，为学者们过渡到博士学习和生物医学研究生涯做好准备。
