Project Summary An analysis of the results from the Survey of Earned Doctorates revealed that in 2013, only 4% of those awarded doctoral degrees in the biological / biomedical sciences were Black or African-Americans and 7% were Hispanics or Latinos. For those awarded doctoral degrees in the health sciences, 12% were Black or African-Americans and 4% were Hispanics or Latinos. To address the urgent need to create a diverse biomedical research workforce, the University of Massachusetts Medical School has launched the Pathway to Graduate Study Program in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Our program offers an outstanding opportunity to enhance student academic preparedness and laboratory-based or clinical research experience. The goal of the program is to prepare students so that they are competitive for admission into top-tier graduate programs. This institutionally supported post-baccalaureate training program has met with success. We therefore seek to expand our research education training program with this grant. The goals of our expanded program include: 1) The recruitment of eligible scholars from national and local pools of candidates, resulting in a diverse trainee population with respect to disciplinary perspectives; 2) To provide to PREP scholars strong mentoring teams, academic training tailored to their research goals and tailored to build on previous educational and research experiences; and opportunities to hone technical skills and professional skills (e.g. writing, presentations, time management) necessary to enhance academic preparedness for graduate school; 3) To provide “hands on” research experience embedded within research-intensive UMMS Departments, Centers, and Institutes. Our breadth of mentors, scientific disciplines, and academic programs offers the flexibility to individualize each trainee's experience while providing a strong foundation to increase the likelihood of future academic success. We expect that at least 75% of the PREP scholars will matriculate and successfully complete graduate programs contributing to the diversification of the trainee population, and workforce, in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.

项目概要 对获得博士学位的调查结果分析显示，2013 年，只有 4% 的人获得博士学位。 获得生物/生物医学博士学位的是黑人或非裔美国人，7% 是西班牙裔或拉丁裔。在获得健康科学博士学位的人中，12% 是黑人或黑人 非裔美国人和 4% 是西班牙裔或拉丁裔。满足创建多元化的迫切需求 生物医学研究人员，马萨诸塞大学医学院推出了途径 生物医学科学研究生院的研究生课程。我们的计划提供了出色的 有机会增强学生的学术准备和实验室或临床研究经验。 该计划的目标是让学生做好准备，使他们有竞争力进入顶级研究生 程序。这个得到机构支持的学士学位后培训计划取得了成功。我们 因此，寻求利用这笔赠款扩大我们的研究教育培训计划。我们扩大的目标 计划包括： 1) 从国家和地方候选人库中招募合格的学者， 导致受训者群体在纪律观点方面多样化； 2) 提供给PREP 学者强大的指导团队，根据他们的研究目标量身定制的学术培训 以前的教育和研究经历；以及磨练技术技能和专业知识的机会 增强学术准备所需的技能（例如写作、演讲、时间管理） 研究所; 3) 提供嵌入研究密集型 UMMS 中的“实践”研究经验 部门、中心和研究所。我们广泛的导师、科学学科和学术项目 提供灵活性，使每位学员的体验个性化，同时为提高能力奠定坚实的基础 未来学业成功的可能性。我们预计至少 75% 的 PREP 学者将被录取 并成功完成有助于学员群体多样化的研究生课程，以及 生物医学和行为科学领域的劳动力。
