 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised application for an innovative new Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Each year this program will select six recent college graduates from backgrounds underrepresented in science that desire PhD research careers and would benefit substantially from a year of intensive research experience and mentoring. Our program will prepare these promising young scientists for entry into rigorous PhD training programs, and long-term success. A new Hopkins-supported two-day event (recruitment and mentor-matching interviews in Baltimore) will match each Scholar with compatible and enthusiastic research Mentors. PREP Scholars will have four core experiences. RESEARCH: Scholars will design, conduct and analyze hypothesis-driven experiments in the mentor's lab, and participate with PhD students and postdocs in weekly lab meetings, journal clubs and departmental research seminars. Scholars will present their research results at two PhD program retreats, a regional PREP conference and one national meeting each year. COMMUNITY: Scholars will meet every month with a dedicated core group of Peer Mentors (underrepresented minority PhD students and postdocs) and PREP Faculty. Nine events will be 'chalk-talk' lunches, where Scholars will give and receive scientific feedback and get to know our PREP community; three more events will be held off-campus (e.g., Orioles, symphony, dinner at faculty home). PROFESSIONAL TRAINING: Scholars will participate alongside PhD students in workshops designed to improve spoken and written communication skills (Presenting your Research; Writing a Paper), learn about PhD career options, and improve their inter-personal skills (Meyers-Briggs Type). PERSONAL GROWTH: The Director and Scholar will create an individual action plan to address any specific weaknesses that must be overcome for long-term PhD career success. Scholars will give and receive early feedback about their research and lab environment via mentored three-way conversations, and further improve their writing skills in two personalized workshops taught by the PREP Director. The outcomes and impact of each program component will be critically evaluated each year by an External Evaluator, and communicated to the Institutional Advisory Board, who will drive yearly program improvements. Outcomes will be discussed with other PREP Directors at regional PREP symposia or national meetings and pooled with data from other PREP programs for publication. Success will be defined as the entry of at least 75% of PREP scholars into rigorous PhD programs nationwide, within two years of starting this PREP. This program is expected to create an inter-generational scientific mentoring community that encourages PhD completion and progression to faculty positions and other PhD careers.

 描述（由申请人提供）：这是约翰霍普金斯大学医学院创新的学士后研究教育计划（PREP）的修订申请。每年，该计划将选择六名来自科学背景的应届大学毕业生，他们希望从事博士研究工作，并将从一年的密集研究经验和指导中受益匪浅。我们的计划将准备这些有前途的年轻科学家进入严格的博士培训计划，并取得长期成功。一个新的霍普金斯大学支持的为期两天的活动（招聘和导师匹配面试在巴尔的摩）将匹配每个学者与兼容和热情的研究导师。PREP学者将有四个核心经验。研究：学者将在导师的实验室中设计，进行和分析假设驱动的实验，并与博士生和博士后一起参加每周的实验室会议，期刊俱乐部和部门研究研讨会。学者们将在两个博士项目务虚会，区域PREP会议和每年一次的国家会议上展示他们的研究成果。社区：学者们将每月与一个专门的核心小组同行导师（代表性不足的少数民族博士生和博士后）和PREP教师见面。九个活动将是“粉笔谈话”午餐，学者将给予和接受科学反馈，并了解我们的PREP社区;另外三个活动将在校外举行（例如，金莺，交响乐，晚餐在教师之家）。专业培训：学者将与博士生一起参加旨在提高口头和书面沟通技巧的研讨会（介绍您的研究;写论文），了解博士的职业选择，并提高他们的人际交往能力（Meyers-Briggs类型）。个人成长：主任和学者将创建一个单独的行动计划，以解决任何特定的弱点，必须克服长期博士生涯的成功。学者们将通过指导性的三方对话提供并接收有关他们的研究和实验室环境的早期反馈，并在PREP主任教授的两个个性化研讨会中进一步提高他们的写作技能。每个项目组成部分的成果和影响每年将由外部评估员进行严格评估，并传达给机构咨询委员会，后者将推动年度项目改进。结果将在区域PREP研讨会或国家会议上与其他PREP主任进行讨论，并与其他PREP项目的数据汇总以供出版。成功将被定义为至少75%的PREP学者进入严格的博士课程全国范围内，在两年内开始这个PREP. This计划预计将创建一个跨代的科学指导社区，鼓励博士完成和发展到教师职位和其他博士职业。
