DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of the proposed program is to prepare underrepresented minority (URM) scholars with baccalaureate degrees to enter and successfully complete research-oriented doctoral programs in biomedical and behavioral sciences at Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis (IUPUI). The program will develop the strategic research and critical thinking skills necessary for success in these fields through both intensive research apprenticeships and enrichment experiences in scientific writing, effective communication, project development, workload management, and other areas of professional development. Specifically, we will (1) identify and select eight promising post-baccalaureate URM individuals per year who earned undergraduate degrees in biomedical or behavioral sciences, (2) provide a rigorous individualized academic and professional development plan that prepares each individual for admission and success in one of five targeted PhD programs available at Indiana University and Purdue University, and (3) provide no less than one year of research experience with an active science faculty mentor working in an area relevant to the individuals' career interests. The five targeted areas are Medical Neuroscience, Psychobiology of Addictions, Clinical Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, and Human Performance. A scaffolded individualized development plan (IDP) will be developed for each scholar and organized through an innovative electronic portfolio. The research internship will begin after several short-term laboratory rotations. Professional development activities will be carefully timed and directed to improving analytical ability, writing skills, oral expression, ad responsible conduct of research as the student prepares for graduate admission. Transdisciplinary work will be emphasized. Course work will be individualized following a careful assessment by the program faculty. A ten-member advisory committee will meet three times a year to assist the program directors in guiding the program and to assess student progress. Program evaluation will occur through formative and summative assessments, and assessments by an external evaluator.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的长期目标是培养具有学士学位的未被充分代表的少数民族（URM）学者进入印第安纳大学-普渡大学印第安纳波利斯分校（IUPUI），并成功完成生物医学和行为科学的研究型博士课程。该计划将通过密集的研究学徒和丰富科学写作、有效沟通、项目开发、工作量管理和其他专业发展领域的经验，培养在这些领域取得成功所必需的战略研究和批判性思维技能。具体来说，我们将(1)每年确定并选择8名获得生物医学或行为科学学士学位的有前途的URM个人，(2)提供严格的个性化学术和专业发展计划，为每个人在印第安纳大学和普渡大学的五个目标博士项目中的一个入学和成功做好准备。(3)提供不少于一年的研究经验，与一名活跃的科学教师导师在个人职业兴趣相关的领域工作。五个目标领域是医学神经科学、成瘾心理生物学、临床心理学、生物医学工程和人类表现。将为每位学者制定一份有框架的个性化发展计划（IDP），并通过创新的电子档案进行组织。研究实习将在几次短期实验室轮岗后开始。专业发展活动将精心安排，旨在提高学生的分析能力、写作技能、口头表达能力和负责任的研究行为，为研究生入学做准备。强调跨学科的工作。课程作业将根据项目教师的仔细评估进行个性化。一个由10人组成的咨询委员会将每年召开三次会议，协助项目主管指导项目并评估学生的进步。项目评估将通过形成性评估和总结性评估以及外部评估人员的评估进行。
