DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long term goal of this PREP is to recruit and prepare students from underrepresented groups for careers in the biomedical sciences. We will build on our already successful program with innovative approaches to assist motivated students to achieve their goals of becoming scientists and thus be positioned to serve as role models for others and to reduce the health care disparities they view in their communities. By the use of detailed individualized developmental plans (IDPs), we will help the trainees take charge of their own learning by having them define learning goals consistent with their own interests and values and develop systems to monitor and assess their progress in achieving them. These IDPs, developed in conjunction with research mentors and program leadership, will serve as the foundation of the program. Following assessment of individual strengths and weaknesses, programs will be designed for each individual student that will allow them to increase their base of scientific knowledge, develop research and laboratory skills, acquire oral presentation and writing expertise and improve their leadership, interpersonal and time management skills. The basis of this will be development of an independent research project in a funded investigator's laboratory that will allow them to acquire and practice all of the skills necessary to be a scientist. They will be aided in this by a mentorial committee composed of faculty and peers and a program Steering Committee that will regularly monitor their progress. They will participate in a weekly Scientific Skills and Communication course as well as graduate level classes. They will be advised and provided direct support for the application process to graduate schools including preparation for the GRE, assistance in the choice of schools, preparation of assays, and mock interviews. They will have the opportunity to attend regional and national scientific meetings, host a visiting seminar speaker of their choice, and will be expected to present and orally defend their research project at the end of the program as well as assist in writing a manuscript of their scientific findings.

描述（由申请人提供）：该 PREP 的长期目标是招募来自代表性不足群体的学生并为他们从事生物医学科学的职业做好准备。我们将在已经成功的计划的基础上，采用创新方法，帮助有积极性的学生实现成为科学家的目标，从而成为他人的榜样，并减少他们在社区中看到的医疗保健差距。通过使用详细的个性化发展计划（IDP），我们将帮助学员掌控自己的学习，让他们定义符合自己兴趣和价值观的学习目标，并开发系统来监控和评估他们实现目标的进度。这些 IDP 是与研究导师和项目领导共同开发的，将作为该项目的基础。在评估个人优势和劣势后，将为每个学生设计课程，使他们能够增加科学知识基础，发展研究和实验室技能，获得口头演讲和写作专业知识，并提高他们的领导能力、人际交往和时间管理技能。其基础将是在受资助的研究人员实验室中开发一个独立的研究项目，使他们能够获得并实践成为科学家所需的所有技能。他们将得到由教师和同行组成的指导委员会以及定期监测他们进展的项目指导委员会的帮助。他们将参加每周的科学技能和沟通课程以及研究生课程。他们将为研究生院的申请流程提供建议并提供直接支持，包括准备 GRE、协助选择学校、准备测试和模拟面试。他们将有机会参加地区和国家科学会议，主持自己选择的访问研讨会演讲者，并有望在项目结束时介绍和口头辩护他们的研究项目，并协助撰写其科学发现的手稿。
