The biomedical research community is underrepresented in populations of certain ethnic origin, with disability and of disadvantage background, in part because research universities have failed to recruit and graduate from biomedical doctoral degrees sufficient numbers of doctoral students from these populations (UR). The UW PREP program seeks to increase the number of UR students in biomedical graduate programs by (i) recruiting promising recently graduated UR students to the program; and (ii) providing them with research experience, professional development and mentorship, leading to their successful enrollment and graduation in first rated pre-doctoral programs. In the first two funding cycles, PREP has recruited 53 fellows; approximately 80% of them have reached graduate school in a premier biomedical research program; of these, 75% have graduated with PhD’s or are still in graduate school. The results of UW PREP demonstrate that its plan to develop the fellows, centered on a year-long research experience patterned after graduate school, supplemented by a targeted set of professional development activities, will allow applicants to be admitted to and then succeed in high-caliber biomedical pre- doctoral programs. The foundation of this proposal and the reason for the success of UW PREP are the enthusiasm of the trainees; the large group of highly accomplished and well-funded research laboratories at the University of Washington (UW) and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; and the support of pre- doctoral and training programs that participate in UW PREP and with which PREP dovetails. From this very large pool of investigators is drawn the core group of faculty mentors, Advisory and Executive committee members listed in this application; all accomplished scientists closely associated with UW PREP and with a demonstrated commitment to mentoring undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral URM fellows, including previous UW PREP fellows. The objectives of this renewal of the UW PREP program remain as follows: (i) all fellows will apply for admission into biomedical graduate programs; (ii) at least 75% of them will successfully enter first-rated pre- doctoral graduate programs; (iii) at least 75% of them will graduate with a doctoral degree. UW PREP will match each fellow with a research laboratory mentor to conduct a year long, hypothesis-driven research project. Co-mentoring by the program leadership will provide mentorship and advising about graduate school application and choice and more. Professional development activities based on each fellow’s individual development program (IDP) will increase scientific skills in writing, presentations, the interpretation of the scientific literature and bioethics, and supplemental didactic training will fill gaps in preparation. Self-confidence and scientific identity will be fostered through a variety of scientific and social forums with URM groups in Seattle. Independent evaluation will measure the program’s impact, and guide the implementation of any required programmatic change.

生物医学研究界在某些种族血统的人群中代表性不足，其中 残疾和弱势背景，部分原因是研究型大学未能招募和 从这些人群中获得足够数量的博士生获得生物医学博士学位 （乌尔）。华盛顿大学 PREP 项目旨在增加 UR 生物医学研究生项目的学生人数 (i) 招募有前途的最近毕业的 UR 学生加入该计划； (ii) 为他们提供 研究经验、专业发展和指导，帮助他们成功入学并 毕业于一流的博士前课程。在前两个资助周期中，PREP 招募了 53 名研究员； 其中约 80% 的人已进入研究生院学习一流的生物医学研究项目；其中， 75% 已获得博士学位或仍在研究生院学习。 UW PREP 的结果表明，其培养研究员的计划以为期一年的时间为中心 以研究生院为模式的研究经验，并辅以一套有针对性的专业知识 开发活动，将使申请人能够被录取并在高水平的生物医学预科课程中取得成功 博士课程。该提案的基础和 UW PREP 成功的原因是 学员的热情；大量成就卓著且资金充足的研究实验室 华盛顿大学 (UW) 和 Fred Hutchinson 癌症研究中心；以及前期的支持 参加 UW PREP 并与 PREP 相吻合的博士和培训项目。从此非常 大量的研究人员组成了由教师导师、顾问和执行委员会组成的核心团队 本申请中列出的成员；所有与 UW PREP 密切相关的杰出科学家 表现出对指导本科生、研究生和博士后 URM 研究员的承诺，包括 以前的威斯康星大学预科研究员。 UW PREP 计划更新的目标仍然如下：(i) 所有研究员都将申请 进入生物医学研究生课程； (ii) 至少75%的人将成功进入一流的预科课程 博士研究生课程； (iii) 至少75%的人将获得博士学位。 UW PREP 将为每位研究员匹配一名研究实验室导师，进行为期一年的研究， 假设驱动的研究项目。项目领导的共同指导将提供指导和 就研究生院申请和选择等提供建议。专业发展活动基于 每位研究员的个人发展计划（IDP）将提高写作、演讲、 对科学文献和生物伦理学的解释以及补充教学培训将填补 准备。将通过各种科学和社会活动培养自信和科学认同 西雅图 URM 团体论坛。独立评估将衡量该计划的影响，并指导 实施任何所需的计划变更。
