项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The scientific workforce in biomedical research is chronically underrepresented in certain populations. While the reasons for this failure are many and complex, major research universities have also failed to recruit and retain enough underrepresented minority (URM) students, particularly at the doctoral level. This proposal aims to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups in biomedical graduate programs by introducing a one year program that will provide research experiences and mentorship to recent graduates with baccalaureate degrees in the sciences and from underrepresented populations The basic hypothesis underlying this proposal is that an intense experience in research is the best preparation for successful application to graduate school and then for a successful graduate career. Therefore, the foundation of this training plan is a group of highly accomplished and well-funded research laboratories at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; all participating scientists have shown past commitment to mentor underrepresented undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students. Existing highly successful Ph.D. training programs in biomedical research, combined with several successful recent efforts aimed at recruiting underrepresented groups at the University of Washington, provide a strong foundation for this PREP program. The training will consist of one year in an academic research laboratory under the supervision of two mentors with related but not identical research interests. The trainees will pursue a hypothesis-driven research project through an interdisciplinary approach enabled by the dual mentorship. This core research experience will be supplemented with training to increase scientific skills in writing, oral presentations and in the interpretation of the scientific literature. Additionally, the trainees will receive supplemental didactic training to fill any outstanding gap in their scientific preparation. Self-confidence and scientific identity will be fostered through a variety of scientific and social forums within the group of trainees and with existing URM groups at the University of Washington. A set of rigorous evaluation instruments will be created to objectively measure their progress and to guide improvements in the program. The central goals of the program are to ensure that all of the trainees apply for graduate school admission, that at least 75% of them enter graduate school, and to ensure that they are optimally prepared for success in a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. program at a research-intensive institution.
PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The goal of the UW PREP is to annually recruit eight students from an underrepresented background to a post- baccalaureate program that will prepare them for success in graduate school in the biomedical sciences. The trainees will engage in a one-year intensive research project in a field of interest, under the supervision of two faculty mentors with complementary expertise. The students will also receive training in scientific writing and communication. We anticipate that all of the trainees will apply for admission into graduate school, during their tenure in the program and at least 75% of them will be accepted. A rigorous set of indicators will be employed to evaluate the long-term success of the program.
描述(由申请人提供):生物医学研究的科学工作人员在某些人群中长期代表性不足。虽然这种失败的原因很多而且很复杂,但主要的研究型大学也未能招募和留住足够的代表性不足的少数民族(URM)学生,特别是在博士阶段。该提案旨在通过引入一个为期一年的项目来增加来自代表性不足群体的生物医学研究生项目的学生数量,该项目将为拥有科学学士学位的应届毕业生和代表性不足的人群提供研究经验和指导。该提案的基本假设是,丰富的研究经验是成功申请研究生院和成功毕业的最佳准备职业生涯。因此,这一培训计划的基础是华盛顿大学和弗雷德哈钦森癌症研究中心的一批成就卓著、资金充足的研究实验室;所有参与的科学家都表现出过去对本科生、研究生和博士后的指导承诺。现有的非常成功的生物医学研究博士培训项目,加上最近在华盛顿大学招募代表性不足群体的成功努力,为这个PREP项目提供了坚实的基础。培训将包括一年的学术研究实验室,由两名研究兴趣相关但不相同的导师指导。受训者将通过双重指导下的跨学科方法进行假设驱动的研究项目。这一核心研究经验将辅以培训,以提高在写作、口头陈述和科学文献解释方面的科学技能。此外,学员将接受补充教学培训,以填补他们在科学准备方面的任何突出空白。将通过受训人员群体内的各种科学和社会论坛以及与华盛顿大学现有的研究资源管理小组合作,培养自信和科学认同。将建立一套严格的评估工具来客观地衡量他们的进展,并指导项目的改进。该项目的核心目标是确保所有的受训者申请研究生入学,至少75%的人进入研究生院,并确保他们为博士或医学博士/博士学位的成功做好最佳准备。一个研究密集型机构的项目。
