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）：一个博士后研究教育计划（PREP）于2009年在密歇根大学落成，以提高代表性不足的学生被接受并成功获得优秀博士学位的能力（博士）。在全国各地的生物，生物工程和生物医学学科的方案。该计划的更新请求现在将该计划扩展到密歇根大学的三所顶级学校和学院：医学，工程和公共卫生。通过NIH的支持和机构支持相结合，PREP学员将能够在工程学院和公共卫生学科，包括公共卫生学院的流行病学和生物统计学，接受生物医学科学，生物工程和化学工程研究方面的培训。第二年的PREP支持将提供给那些在计划的第一个4.5到5个月（即“第一年”）后没有被这些学科的优秀课程录取的学员。这些学生可以留在该计划的研究培训的第二年，研究经验不足是通常的原因，这些学生没有实现研究生入学在第一年。密歇根大学长期以来一直鼓励本科生从事研究事业，近年来通过致力于招募各级（从本科到研究生课程到专业课程）多样化和有才华的学生群体，获得了全国的关注。在生物科学，工程和公共卫生，有广泛的研究机会为PREP学生和强大的和协调的研究生课程，在所有这些学科已成功地招募和毕业多元化的学生团体。十多年来，密歇根大学在向代表性不足的学生授予博士学位的大学中排名前十。目前，非常成功的PREP在密歇根州的工程和公共卫生学科的扩展，并允许学生从事这些领域的研究将提供来自全国各地的有前途的学生与所需的准备都成功地申请到强大的研究生课程，并成功一旦他们录取。包括两个新的助理项目主任，他们都是最近的博士毕业生的M的U，和自己从代表性不足的人口也将允许PREP学员接受谁已经成功地完成了他们渴望做的榜样指导。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，为多样化的劳动力队伍培训未来几代科学家。
