总结 波士顿大学医学院学士后研究的最终目标 教育计划（BU PREP）是提供一个环境，提高个人和 在科学领域为统一资源管理机制进行科学发展。BU PREP将通过以下方式实现这些目标： 越来越多的合格URM在高质量的生物医学博士学位。研究生培养 程序.此外，BUSM认识到有必要增加各级的多样性， 机构和BU-PREP学者将继续波士顿大学的积极影响， 支持一个充满活力和多样化的社区的传统。BU PREP将利用 由BUSM和医学科学部提供，包括优秀的教师，国家的， 艺术研究核心和现有的支持性研究和学术基础设施， 每年为六名BU PREP参与者提供个性化的学习计划。申请者将被 从一群代表性不足的学者中招募，这些学者被吸引到该计划中， 在国家会议上开展外联活动，并与大学建立联系， URM学生，参加我们暑期研究项目但需要 在申请研究生院和申请我们博士学位的个人之前， 方案，但未被接受。BU PREP学者的优点和缺点将是 通过评估，并在辅导小组的指导下， 他们的博士入学申请中的弱点。此外，强大的研究经验 和专业技能的发展，包括实验室技能，批判性思维，手稿和赠款 写作，演讲技巧和自我评估技巧将得到重视。学者们将进入 该计划在6月与夏季和秋季侧重于学术支持和活动，包括， 课程工作，辅导，写作和面试研讨会，将增加他们的申请 培训项目。今年的第二部分将侧重于研究技能。在整个 将强调专业发展和职业选择方案。结果包括所有 BU-PREP学者提交至少75%的研究生院竞争性申请，如果 而不是更高，他们被接受进入研究生课程。

SUMMARY The ultimate goal of Boston University School of Medicine Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (BU PREP) is to provide an environment that enhances personal and scientific development for URMs in the sciences. BU PREP will address these aims by increasing numbers of qualified URM in high quality biomedical Ph.D. graduate training programs. Furthermore, BUSM recognizes the need to increase diversity at all levels of the institution and BU-PREP scholars will have a positive impact by continuing Boston University's tradition of supporting a vibrant and diverse community. BU PREP will utilize the resources provided by BUSM and the Division of Medical Sciences, including outstanding faculty, state-of- the art research cores and an existing supportive research and academic infrastructure to provide individualize learning plans for six BU PREP participants per year. Applicants will be recruited from a pool of underrepresented scholars who are attracted to the program by outreach at national meetings and networking with Universities that have a high percentage of URM students, students who participated in our summer research programs but need an additional year before applying to graduate schools and individuals that applied to our Ph.D. programs but were not accepted. BU PREP scholars' strengths and weaknesses will be assessed and, with the guidance of mentoring teams, a learning plan will address potential weaknesses in their PhD admissions applications. Furthermore, a strong research experience and development of professional skills, including lab skills, critical thinking, manuscript and grant writing, presentation skills and self-assessment skills will be emphasized. Scholars will enter the program in June with the summer and fall focused on academic support and activities, including, course work, tutoring and writing and interview workshops that will augment their application for training programs. The second part of the year will focus on research skills. Throughout the program professional development and career options will be emphasized. Outcomes include all BU-PREP scholars submitting competitive applications to graduate schools with at least 75%, if not higher, of them to be accepted into graduate programs.
