Abstract The central goal of this proposed program is to expand the pool of students from Florida Atlantic University (FAU) who enter PhD, MD/PhD, or related programs in biomedical science. FAU services students in Florida's fast growing Broward and Palm Beach County, and represents the most diverse four-year public university in Florida. The institution has recently expanded the number of research laboratories and is forming partnerships with Scripps Florida and Max Planck Florida, dramatically enhancing the research opportunities for undergraduates. This proposal leverages these opportunities by identifying promising underrepresented students from over 5000 majors in Biology, Psychology, and Neuroscience programs that may be interested in research careers, and engaging them in a critical thinking and research-intensive curriculum beginning sophomore year. We have developed three years of curriculum that includes specialized courses in critical thinking, research approaches, and scientific communication. Students will participate in laboratory research at FAU, Scripps, or Max Planck. As rising juniors, they will attend a summer internship at a partner Research Intensive Institution. Students will be paired with an Academic Mentor, a Research Mentor and a Near-Peer Mentor (graduate student) to provide support. One-on-one mentorship will be complemented by a diverse set of workshops throughout the three-year program. Recruitment to this program will leverage existing support networks for Freshman and other underrepresented groups, as well as a commitment by FAU to establish a Pre-URISE program that exposes students to research opportunities early in their freshman year. The completion of this program will provide support for underrepresented students to engage in research and receive mentoring that will promote matriculation to PhD, MD/PhD, or similar programs.

摘要 这项计划的中心目标是扩大佛罗里达大西洋大学的学生人数 (FAU)谁进入博士，医学博士/博士学位，或在生物医学科学相关课程。FAU为佛罗里达的学生提供服务 快速发展的布劳沃德和棕榈滩海滩县，并代表了最多样化的四年制公立大学， 佛罗里达。该机构最近扩大了研究实验室的数量，并正在建立伙伴关系 与斯克里普斯佛罗里达和马克斯普朗克佛罗里达，大大提高了研究的机会， 本科生该提案通过确定有希望的任职人数不足的人来利用这些机会 来自5000多个生物学、心理学和神经科学专业的学生，他们可能对以下方面感兴趣： 研究生涯，并让他们在批判性思维和研究密集型课程开始 大二的时候我们已经开发了三年的课程，包括关键的专业课程 思维、研究方法和科学交流。学生将参加实验室研究， FAU，斯克里普斯，或者马克斯·普朗克。作为即将升入大三的学生，他们将在一家合作伙伴研究机构参加暑期实习。 密集机构。学生将与学术导师，研究导师和近同行配对 导师（研究生）提供支持。一对一的指导将由一个多样化的组合来补充 在整个三年计划中，该计划的招聘将利用现有的支持 为新生和其他代表性不足的群体建立网络，以及FAU承诺建立一个 预URISE计划，让学生在大一的早期就有机会进行研究。的 该计划的完成将为代表性不足的学生提供支持，以从事研究， 接受指导，这将促进预科博士，MD/博士，或类似的程序。
