Abstract Although substantial progress has been made in attracting individuals from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical research (URiBR) to STEM careers, the number of URiBR students in biomedical graduate programs remain suboptimal. Attrition along the career development path attenuates the impact of diversity programs targeting early stages of the pipeline. Reasons for this attrition are many, but include under-preparation, insufficient mentorship and networking opportunities, and lack of belonging stemming from inadequate representation at the faculty level. Weill Cornell Medicine has a longstanding institutional commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, scientific excellence, and mentoring the next generation of scientists and physician scientists. The proposed program, Advancing Success and Persistence in Research Education, ASPiRE will augment current WCM efforts by focusing on a population not targeted by existing pathway/capacity building programs: postbaccalaureate scholars. ASPiRE will leverage existing programs, relationships with local and regional partner institutions (Cornell University, Hunter College, Brooklyn College) and WCM presence at national graduate and medical school recruitment meetings to recruit talented scholars who will benefit from additional support to be competitive for admission in PhD and MD/PhD programs. The selected scholars will be paired with a primary research faculty mentor based on their career interests, collegiate research experiences and the expertise of the faculty member. An additional faculty member, at an academic rank different from the research mentor, will serve as a career mentor. In addition, the scholars will be paired with current 1st or 2nd year URiBR graduate students who will serve as near-peer mentors. This tiered mentorship structure will ensure that our scholars have mentors and advisors at multiple levels of the professional development spectrum and thus exposure to the many factors and considerations along the academic scientific career path. The experiential research training will be complemented with professional development advising, coaching and skill building. We will also provide the expertise of an educational psychologist who will meet with students collectively and individually to assess and build personalized academic success strategies relevant to their roles as research trainees, graduate school applicants and future graduate/medical students. We expect that the combination of research education, career development coaching, tiered mentorship and community building activities will yield short- and long-term dividends. In the short term, we expect scholars to progress successfully to PHD or MD/PhD programs within two years of program participation. In the long term, we project that program participation will produce longevity as academic research faculty.

摘要 虽然在吸引来自代表性不足背景的个人方面取得了实质性进展， 生物医学研究（URiBR）到STEM职业，生物医学研究生课程的URiBR学生人数 仍然是次优的。在职业发展道路上沿着发展会削弱多元化计划的影响 针对管道的早期阶段。造成这种减员的原因很多，但包括准备不足， 辅导和建立联系的机会不足，以及由于缺乏适当的 教师水平的代表性。威尔康奈尔医学有一个长期的机构承诺， 多样性，公平和包容，科学卓越，指导下一代科学家， 医学科学家拟议的计划，推进成功和坚持研究教育， ASPiRE将通过关注现有途径/能力没有针对的人群来加强当前的WCM工作 建设方案：学士后学者。ASPiRE将利用现有的计划，与当地 和区域伙伴机构（康奈尔大学，亨特学院，布鲁克林学院）和世界基督教大会的存在， 全国研究生和医学院招聘会议，招聘有才华的学者，他们将受益于 额外的支持是有竞争力的录取博士和MD/博士课程。入选的学者将是 根据他们的职业兴趣，大学研究经验， 以及教员的专业知识。一名额外的教员，其学术级别不同于 研究导师，将担任职业导师。此外，学者将与当前的第一或第二年配对 URiBR研究生谁将担任近同行导师。这种分层的指导结构将确保 我们的学者在专业发展的多个层次上都有导师和顾问， 接触的许多因素和考虑沿着学术科学的职业道路。经验 研究培训将辅之以专业发展咨询、辅导和技能培养。我们 还将提供教育心理学家的专业知识，他将与学生集体会面， 个别评估和建立个性化的学术成功策略相关的角色作为研究 学员、研究生院申请者和未来的研究生/医科学生。我们预计， 研究教育、职业发展辅导、分层指导和社区建设活动将产生 短期和长期股息。在短期内，我们希望学者成功地发展到博士或医学博士/博士 在参与计划的两年内。从长远来看，我们预计参与该计划将 作为学术研究人员，
