DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) was inaugurated in 2009 at the University of Michigan to increase the ability of underrepresented students to be accepted into and succeed in obtaining doctoral degrees from excellent doctoral (Ph.D.) programs in the biological, bioengineering and biomedical disciplines throughout the country. This request for renewal of the program now expands the program to three top-ranked schools and colleges at the University of Michigan: Medicine, Engineering and Public Health. Through a combination of NIH support and institutional support, PREP trainees will be able to receive training in research in biomedical sciences, bioengineering and chemical engineering in the College of Engineering and public health disciplines, including epidemiology and biostatistics in the School of Public Health. A second year of PREP support will be available to trainees who are not admitted to excellent programs in these disciplines after their fist 4.5 to5 months in the program (i.e. in "year one"). These students can remain in the program for a second year of research training, insufficient research experience being the usual reason such students do not achieve graduate admission in year 1. The University of Michigan has long had a strong history of encouraging undergraduates to engage in research careers and in recent years has gained national attention through its commitment to recruiting a diverse and talented student population at all levels (from undergraduate to graduate programs to professional programs). In the biosciences, engineering and public health, there are extensive research opportunities for PREP students and strong and coordinated graduate programs in all these disciplines that have been successful in recruiting and graduating a diverse student body. The U of M has ranked in the top 10 among universities granting doctoral degrees to under-represented students for more than a decade. The expansion of the current, highly successful PREP at Michigan to Engineering and Public Health disciplines and to allow students to engage in research in these areas will provide promising students from around the country with the needed preparation both to apply successfully to strong graduate programs and to succeed once they matriculate. The inclusion of two new assistant program directors, both of whom are recent PhD graduates of the U of M, and themselves from under-represented populations will also allow the PREP trainees to receive mentoring from role models who have successfully accomplished what they aspire to do. It will also allow the program to help in the training of young and able program administrators to carry on the training of future generations of scientists for a diverse workforce.

描述(由申请人提供)：密歇根大学于2009年启动了一个学士后研究教育计划(PREP)，以提高未被录取并成功获得优秀博士(博士)学位的学生的能力。在全国生物、生物工程和生物医学学科的项目。这一续签申请现在将该项目扩展到密歇根大学的三所顶尖学校和学院：医学、工程和公共卫生。通过国立卫生研究院的支持和机构支持的结合，预科学员将能够在工程学院接受生物医学科学、生物工程和化学工程方面的研究培训，并在公共卫生学院接受公共卫生学科，包括流行病学和生物统计学的培训。第二年的预备支持将提供给那些在这些学科的优秀课程后，在他们的拳头4.5到5个月后(即在“第一年”)没有被录取的学员。这些学生可以继续在该项目进行第二年的研究培训，研究经验不足是这些学生在第一年无法获得研究生录取的常见原因。密歇根大学长期以来一直鼓励本科生从事研究职业，近年来，该大学通过在各个级别(从本科生到研究生课程再到专业课程)招收多样化和有才华的学生，获得了全国的关注。在生物科学、工程和公共卫生领域，预科学生有广泛的研究机会，所有这些学科都有强大和协调的研究生项目，成功地招收了多样化的学生并使其毕业。十多年来，密歇根大学一直在向人数不足的学生授予博士学位的大学中排名前十。密歇根大学目前非常成功的预科课程扩展到工程和公共卫生学科，并允许学生从事这些领域的研究，将为来自全国各地的有前途的学生提供必要的准备，既可以成功申请强大的研究生课程，也可以在被录取后取得成功。纳入两名新的助理项目主任，他们都是密歇根大学最近毕业的博士，他们自己也来自代表性不足的人群，这也将使预科学员能够接受成功完成他们渴望做的事情的榜样的指导。它还将使该计划能够帮助培训年轻和有能力的计划管理人员，以便为多样化的劳动力培训未来几代科学家。
