PREP@UC (Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program at the University of Cincinnati) will prepare college graduates from underrepresented minority groups, disadvantaged backgrounds or with disabilities (URM/DA) to succeed in a biomedical doctoral program. PREP@UC will be based in the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and mentors will be drawn from the College of Medicine and the adjacent Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The two institutions have a history of successfully mentoring URM/DA students and our experienced Program Faculty mentor both graduate and undergraduate students. PREP@UC will fill a gap in PREP program coverage in the Appalachian region and a need expressed to us by students and institutions from our PREP program service area. Cincinnati sits at the edge of Appalachia, a region that is considered economically distressed, and the city is home to large Black and Appalachian populations and a growing Hispanic population, all with high rates of poverty. When URM/DA students from our region make it to university they frequently attend institutions that lack a PhD or masters level infrastructure for career progression. The goal of PREP@UC is to enable these individuals to enter doctoral programs and then progress to careers in biomedical research. To achieve this goal, we propose an evidence- based program incorporating established educational concepts and tailored learning. PREP Scholars will have individualized mentoring and training plans (IDPs) designed to teach research skills, increase academic preparedness, build internal scientific identity and build external credentials needed for doctoral studies. The program goal will be met through the following aims. Aim 1. Empower Scholars with the confidence and sense of self-efficacy needed to succeed in doctoral studies by providing strong social support and mentoring. Scholars will have a social support network and mentoring team to help them adjust to the academic environment, develop confidence they can succeed as a scientist and build enthusiasm for this career. Aim 2. Develop Scholars' research skills using intensive mentored experiential learning. Each Scholar will be matched with a highly qualified faculty mentor and work on their own project in the mentor's lab. They will receive training in all aspects of scientific research and will experience life as a graduate student. Aim 3. Increase Scholars' readiness for biomedical doctoral programs through individually tailored academic preparation. Activities will include taking a graduate level course, training in critiquing scientific papers, oral presentations, scientific writing and preparation of graduate school applications. Through Aims 1-3, we will significantly increase Scholars' internal readiness, and academic preparedness for entry into a doctoral program. PREP@UC is unique in its focus on Black and Appalachian populations from our region and it will help boost the number of PhD-level biomedical researchers from these underrepresented groups.

PREP@UC（辛辛那提大学的学士后研究教育项目）将准备 来自代表性不足的少数群体、弱势背景或残疾人的大学毕业生 (URM/DA）在生物医学博士课程中取得成功。PREP@UC将设在 辛辛那提医学院和导师将从医学院和邻近的 辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心。这两个机构有着成功指导的历史 URM/DA学生和我们经验丰富的课程教师指导研究生和本科生。 PREP@UC将填补阿巴拉契亚地区PREP计划覆盖范围的空白，并向我们表达需求 由学生和机构从我们的PREP计划服务区。辛辛那提位于阿巴拉契亚的边缘， 这是一个被认为是经济困难的地区，这座城市是黑人和阿巴拉契亚人的家园。 人口和不断增长的西班牙裔人口，都有很高的贫困率。当URM/DA学生从 我们地区的大学生通常就读于缺乏博士或硕士学位的机构 职业发展的基础设施。PREP@UC的目标是使这些人能够进入博士学位 课程，然后在生物医学研究的职业发展。为了实现这一目标，我们提出了一个证据- 基于计划结合既定的教育理念和量身定制的学习。PREP学者将 有个性化的指导和培训计划（IDP），旨在教授研究技能，提高学术水平， 准备，建立内部的科学身份，并建立博士研究所需的外部证书。的 将通过以下目标实现方案目标。目标1。让学者充满信心， 自我效能感需要通过提供强大的社会支持， 指导。学者将有一个社会支持网络和指导团队，以帮助他们适应 学术环境，培养他们作为科学家取得成功的信心，并为此建立热情 事业目标2.使用强化的指导体验式学习来发展学者的研究技能。每个 学者将与一位高素质的教师导师相匹配，并在导师的 实验室他们将接受科学研究各个方面的培训，并将体验研究生生活。 目标3.通过个性化定制，增加学者对生物医学博士课程的准备 学术准备。活动将包括参加研究生水平的课程， 论文、口头报告、科学写作和准备研究生院申请。通过目标 1-3，我们将大大提高学者的内部准备，并进入学术准备， 博士课程。PREP@UC的独特之处在于它专注于我们地区的黑人和阿巴拉契亚人 这将有助于增加来自这些代表性不足的群体的博士水平的生物医学研究人员的数量。
