DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of the proposed program is to prepare underrepresented minority (URM) scholars with baccalaureate degrees to enter and successfully complete research-oriented doctoral programs in biomedical and behavioral sciences at Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis (IUPUI). The program will develop the strategic research and critical thinking skills necessary for success in these fields through both intensive research apprenticeships and enrichment experiences in scientific writing, effective communication, project development, workload management, and other areas of professional development. Specifically, we will (1) identify and select eight promising post-baccalaureate URM individuals per year who earned undergraduate degrees in biomedical or behavioral sciences, (2) provide a rigorous individualized academic and professional development plan that prepares each individual for admission and success in one of five targeted PhD programs available at Indiana University and Purdue University, and (3) provide no less than one year of research experience with an active science faculty mentor working in an area relevant to the individuals' career interests. The five targeted areas are Medical Neuroscience, Psychobiology of Addictions, Clinical Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, and Human Performance. A scaffolded individualized development plan (IDP) will be developed for each scholar and organized through an innovative electronic portfolio. The research internship will begin after several short-term laboratory rotations. Professional development activities will be carefully timed and directed to improving analytical ability, writing skills, oral expression, ad responsible conduct of research as the student prepares for graduate admission. Transdisciplinary work will be emphasized. Course work will be individualized following a careful assessment by the program faculty. A ten-member advisory committee will meet three times a year to assist the program directors in guiding the program and to assess student progress. Program evaluation will occur through formative and summative assessments, and assessments by an external evaluator.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的计划的长期目标是准备代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学者与学士学位进入并成功完成以研究为导向的生物医学和行为科学博士课程在印第安纳州普渡大学，印第安纳波利斯（IUPUI）。该计划将通过密集的研究学徒和科学写作，有效沟通，项目开发，工作量管理和其他专业发展领域的丰富经验，培养在这些领域取得成功所必需的战略研究和批判性思维技能。具体来说，我们将（1）确定和选择每年八个有前途的学士后URM个人谁获得了生物医学或行为科学的本科学位，（2）提供严格的个性化的学术和专业发展计划，准备每个人的录取和成功的五个目标博士课程之一，可在印第安纳州大学和普渡大学，和（3）提供不少于一年的研究经验，与一个活跃的科学学院导师在一个领域工作有关的个人的职业兴趣。五个目标领域是医学神经科学，成瘾心理生物学，临床心理学，生物医学工程和人类表现。一个脚手架个性化的发展计划（IDP）将制定每个学者，并通过一个创新的电子投资组合组织。研究实习将在几次短期实验室轮换后开始。专业发展活动将精心安排时间，并针对提高分析能力，写作技巧，口头表达，广告负责的研究行为，为学生准备研究生入学。跨学科工作将得到重视。课程工作将根据课程教师的仔细评估进行个性化。一个由十名成员组成的咨询委员会每年召开三次会议，协助项目主任指导项目并评估学生的进展。计划评估将通过形成性和总结性评估以及外部评估员的评估进行。
