Duke Preparing Research Scholars in Biomedical Sciences- Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program

摘要 美国继续面临推进生物医学创新的障碍。持续的挑战包括 来自任职人数不足背景的人参加生物医学培训的人数不足， 为了解决这些障碍，我们正在开发一个多轨道的职位， 学士学位研究学者计划：杜克准备研究学者在生物医学科学后， 学士学位研究教育计划（PRIME-PREP），利用杜克大学的培训 专业知识，由具有重叠研究专业知识的个人组成的强大的多PI领导团队 一个内部和外部咨询委员会，致力于培训、公平和 包容性和一群多元化，经验丰富，充满激情的导师，他们致力于 培训和多样性。为了确保包容性和富有成效的指导关系，研究导师一直在 根据他们的指导记录和他们建立的，资助的独立研究计划确定。 未来的导师将完成导师培训之前，学者在他们的实验室，促进 下一代生物医学成功所需的有效和支持性指导文化 来自不同背景的科学家。利用STEM联盟（DISC）的多样性-区域联盟 本科生和少数民族服务机构-从任职人数不足的学生中确定和征聘优秀的候选人 背景，PRIME-PREP将寻求提高学生进入和完成研究的成功- 重点博士学位课程。PRIME-PREP学者将参加量身定制的专业发展 课程，为他们成功进入博士和MD-PhD课程做好准备。除了同行 在PRIME-PREP队列中建立网络，学者将有机会接触到同行，近同行， 杜克大学的领导人。为期一年的PRIME-PREP将把学生放在实验室里， 指导研究经验将占他们时间的75%。专业发展活动和 研讨会将占他们的时间的25%，包括为期6周的夏桥计划开始时， 一年，在社区参与的研究和专业发展讲习班培训。通过实施和 调整以证据为基础的PREP框架，PRIME-PREP将使至少75%的参与者获得博士或医学博士学位， 博士课程在两年内计划完成。

Abstract The U.S. continues to face barriers to advancing biomedical innovation. Ongoing challenges include an insufficient number of individuals from underrepresented backgrounds entering biomedical training and high attrition from the research training path. To address these barriers, we are developing a multi-track post- baccalaureate research scholars program: the Duke Preparing Research scholars In bioMEdical sciences-Post- baccalaureate Research Education Program (PRIME-PREP), which leverages Duke University's training expertise, a strong multiple-PI leadership team composed of individuals with overlapping expertise in research and mentoring, an internal and external advisory board with demonstrated commitment to training, equity and inclusion and a cohort of diverse, experienced and passionate mentors with demonstrated commitment to training and diversity. To ensure inclusive and productive mentoring relationships, research mentors have been identified based on their mentorship records and their established, funded independent research programs. Prospective mentors will complete mentor training before placement of scholars in their laboratories, promoting a culture of effective and supportive mentoring necessary for the success of the next generation of biomedical scientists from diverse backgrounds. Drawing on the Diversity in STEM Coalition (DISC) – a coalition of regional undergraduate and minority-serving institutions – to identify and recruit strong candidates from underrepresented backgrounds, PRIME-PREP will seek to enhance students’ success in entering and completing research- focused doctoral degree programs. PRIME-PREP Scholars will participate in a tailored professional development curriculum that prepares them for successful entry into PhD and MD-PhD programs. In addition to peer networking within the PRIME-PREP cohort, scholars will have access to a community of peers, near-peers, and leaders across Duke University. The one-year PRIME-PREP will place students in laboratories, where a mentored research experience will comprise 75% of their time. Professional development activities and workshops will comprise 25% of their time, including a 6-week summer bridge program at the beginning of the year, training in community engaged research and professional development workshops. By implementing and adapting evidence-based PREP frameworks, PRIME-PREP will place at least 75% of participants in PhD or MD- PhD programs within two years of program completion.
