 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型新学士后研究教育计划 (PREP) 的修订申请。每年，该计划都会从科学领域代表性不足的背景中选出六名应届大学毕业生，他们渴望从事博士研究职业，并将从一年的深入研究经验和指导中受益匪浅。我们的计划将为这些有前途的年轻科学家做好进入严格的博士培训计划并取得长期成功的准备。霍普金斯大学支持的一项新的为期两天的活动（在巴尔的摩进行招聘和导师匹配面试）将为每位学者匹配兼容且热情的研究导师。 PREP 学者将拥有四项核心经验。研究：学者们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、期刊俱乐部和院系研究研讨会。学者们每年将在两次博士项目务虚会、一次地区性 PREP 会议和一次全国会议上展示他们的研究成果。社区：学者们每月都会与专门的同行导师核心小组（代表性不足的少数族裔博士生和博士后）和 PREP 教师会面。九项活动将是“粉笔谈话”午餐，学者们将在午餐中提供和接收科学反馈，并了解我们的 PREP 社区；另外三项活动将在校外举行（例如金莺、交响乐、在教员家里的晚宴）。专业培训：学者将与博士生一起参加旨在提高口语和书面沟通技巧（展示您的研究；撰写论文）的研讨会，了解博士职业选择，并提高他们的人际交往能力（迈耶斯-布里格斯类型）。个人成长：主任和学者将制定个人行动计划，以解决必须克服的任何具体弱点，以实现长期的博士职业成功。学者们将通过指导的三向对话提供和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上进一步提高他们的写作技巧。每个项目组成部分的成果和影响每年都会由外部评估员进行严格评估，并传达给机构顾问委员会，后者将推动每年的项目改进。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 计划的数据汇总以供发布。成功将被定义为至少 75% 的 PREP 学者在开始此 PREP 后两年内进入全国范围内严格的博士课程。该计划预计将创建一个代际科学指导社区，鼓励完成博士学位并晋升为教职和其他博士学位职业。
