Project Summary/Abstract Neither the biomedical research workforce nor the faculty at research universities and medical schools reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of the American population. In part, this is due to the limited number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who enter PhD and MD-PhD programs. Lack of substantive research experiences during undergraduate studies leaves many URM students unprepared to apply to competitive graduate programs. The goal of this Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) is to provide URM and disabled students, who want to pursue a career in biomedical research, with the intensive research experience and academic enrichment necessary to make them competitive applicants to rigorous PhD and MD-PhD programs. Einstein has a long history of successfully mentoring URM students through both its PhD and MD-PhD programs. The Einstein PREP has four major components designed to prepare trainees to apply successfully to PhD or MD-PhD programs: 1) an intensive, mentored laboratory research experience, 2) a didactic component to increase trainees' scientific knowledge and prepare them for interdisciplinary research, 3) an oral and written communications skills enhancement program, and 4) a layered mentoring system to provide the trainees with the support network they need to flourish in the program and beyond. These four components are interwoven throughout the year long program. The program begins with a two week Orientation during which trainees select their research mentor. The mentored research project emphasizes the process of hypothesis-based research, the excitement and joy of scientific discovery, and the persistence and creativity needed to achieve success. Trainees work with the Program Directors and research mentor to formulate an Individual Development Plan. Each trainee is assigned either a URM PhD or MD-PhD student peer mentor. The Einstein Minority Scientist Association will run a monthly PREP Journal Club and other social and scientific activities. The Program Directors will meet with the trainees on a weekly basis for informal and didactic sessions. This combination of didactic and experiential learning will prepare the applicants to apply successfully to highly competitive PhD and MD-PhD programs. We expect that more than 75% of our trainees will matriculate and successfully complete such programs. To date, 19 trainees have entered the program, 12 have completed and all are enrolled in PhD or MD-PhD programs, i.e., 100% success. Of the 7 trainees currently in the program, one applying to MD-PhD programs already has an acceptance; five applying to PhD programs already have multiple interview invitations. We expect that all will successfully matriculate into graduate programs. The seventh trainee will spend a second year in the program while she applies to MD-PhD programs. Our PREP alumni will ultimately expand the US biomedical workforce diversity.

项目摘要/摘要 生物医学研究人员或研究大学和医学院的教职员工均不 反映美国人口的种族和种族多样性。部分原因是由于数量有限 进入博士学位和MD-PHD计划的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生。缺乏实质性 本科学习期间的研究经验使许多URM学生都没有准备好申请 竞争性研究生课程。该学后研究教育计划（PREP）的目标是 为想要从事生物医学研究职业的URM和残疾学生提供密集 研究经验和学术丰富需要使他们竞争激烈的申请人 博士和MD-PHD计划。爱因斯坦有悠久的历史，成功地指导了URM学生。 它的博士学位和MD-PHD计划。爱因斯坦的准备有四个主要组成部分，旨在准备受训者 成功地应用于博士或MD-PHD计划：1）丰富的，有指导的实验室研究经验， 2）一个教学成分，以增加学员的科学知识并为跨学科做好准备 研究，3）口头和书面交流技能增强计划，以及4）分层指导 为学员提供他们在计划及其他方面蓬勃发展所需的支持网络的系统。 这四个组件在一年中整个计划中都交织在一起。该程序以两个开始 在学员选择其研究导师的一周定向中。指导的研究项目 强调基于假设的研究的过程，科学发现的兴奋和喜悦以及 取得成功所需的持久性和创造力。学员与计划主管和研究合作 导师制定个人发展计划。每个学员都被分配了URM博士或MD-PHD 学生同伴导师。爱因斯坦少数族裔科学家协会将经营一个每月的预备期刊俱乐部， 其他社会和科学活动。计划主任将每周与学员见面 非正式和教学会议。教学和体验学习的这种结合将准备 申请人成功地申请竞争激烈的博士学位和MD-PHD计划。我们期望这比 我们75％的学员将入学并成功完成此类计划。迄今为止，有19名学员 输入该计划，已完成12个，所有这些都参加了博士学位或MD-PHD计划，即100％的成功。 在该计划目前的7名学员中，申请MD-PHD计划的一名学员已经接受。五 申请博士课程已经有多个面试邀请。我们希望一切都会成功 入学研究生课程。第七学员将在计划中度过第二年 适用于MD-PHD程序。我们的预科校友最终将扩大美国生物医学劳动力多样性。
