 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The number of Ph.D. students from diverse backgrounds is acutely underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral sciences in the United States despite the growing proportions of minorities in the population. Through participation in several underrepresented minority (UR)-focused mentoring programs, the Science Training for Advancing Biomedical Research (STAR)-PREP director brings unique insights (from a mentee's perspective) and a great understanding of the attributes required for being a successful mentor. This STAR- PREP is designed to provide aspiring UR biomedical scientists with a specialized but comprehensive training plan. Highly functional and dynamic individual development plans (IDP) will be employed to address the Scholars' weaknesses and strengthen their skills to increase their competitiveness leading to acceptance into top-notch Ph.D. or M.D.-Ph.D. programs. We will take advantage of ongoing interactions with local UR- centered undergraduate programs and with various established programs including T32 grants on campus by incorporating into IDPs regular participation in T32-funded training activities. Our hypothesis is that active participation in an integrated multidimensional research, clinical and mentored research training program coupled with innovations in academic development will result in greater than 75% of PREP Scholars pursuing biomedical research careers. Aim 1 is to ensure an outstanding biomedical research experience to build and refine the STAR-PREP Scholar's research skills. This will be accomplished through use of a diverse community of outstanding faculty and students, state-of-the-art technologies and innovations in interdisciplinary education and training in an atmosphere that explicitly emphasizes excellence and biomedical research. Aim 2 is to strengthen and expand the STAR-PREP Scholar's academic portfolio to facilitate acceptance into a top-notch graduate program. This aim will also support and guide the PREP Scholar thru every step of the graduate school application process, prepare the Scholar for the GRE test and provide direct experience in select Ph.D. courses. Through Aim 3, we will provide a set of high- quality professional development activities individualized for each STAR-PREP Scholar. PREP Scholars will participate in a variety of research poster presentation forums, scientific writing workshops, diversity seminars and attend/present at a national science conference. Aim 4 will provide a continuous dynamic mentoring and community-building research-centered experience. Through this aim we propose to establish a sense of community through social and academic activities between Scholars, mentors and Ph.D. students. The success of each of our aims will be regularly assessed through individual diagnostic assessment tools administered by internal and external evaluators to ensure a positive and meaningful experience to successfully transition Scholars to graduate programs.

 描述（由申请人提供）：博士人数在美国，尽管少数民族在人口中的比例不断增加，但来自不同背景的学生在生物医学和行为科学领域的代表性严重不足。通过参与几个代表性不足的少数民族（UR）为重点的指导计划，科学培训推进生物医学研究（星星）-PREP主任带来了独特的见解（从学员的角度来看）和作为一个成功的导师所需的属性的深刻理解。这个星星- PREP旨在为有抱负的UR生物医学科学家提供专业但全面的培训计划。将采用高度实用和动态的个人发展计划（IDP）来解决学者的弱点，并加强他们的技能，以提高他们的竞争力，从而获得一流的博士学位。或者医学博士博士程序.我们将利用与当地以UR为中心的本科课程以及各种既定课程的持续互动，包括通过将T32资助的培训活动纳入IDPs定期参与的校园T32赠款。我们的假设是，积极参与综合多维研究，临床和指导研究培训计划，再加上学术发展的创新，将导致超过75%的PREP学者追求生物医学研究事业。目标1是确保杰出的生物医学研究经验，以建立和完善STAR-PREP学者的研究技能。这将通过使用优秀的教师和学生，国家的最先进的技术和跨学科教育和培训的创新在明确强调卓越和生物医学研究的氛围中的多元化社区来实现。目标2是加强和扩大STAR-PREP学者的学术组合，以促进接受到一流的研究生课程。这一目标还将支持和指导PREP学者通过研究生院申请过程的每一步，为GRE考试做好准备，并提供选择博士学位的直接经验。课程通过目标3，我们将为每位STAR-PREP奖学金获得者提供一套个性化的高质量专业发展活动。PREP学者将参加各种研究海报展示论坛，科学写作研讨会，多样性研讨会，并出席/出席国家科学会议。目标4将提供一个持续的动态指导和社区建设的研究为中心的经验。通过这一目标，我们建议通过学者，导师和博士之间的社会和学术活动建立社区意识。学生我们每个目标的成功将通过内部和外部评估人员管理的个人诊断评估工具定期评估，以确保成功过渡学者到研究生课程的积极和有意义的经验。
