Yale Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program

项目摘要 该提案描述了耶鲁大学的一项研究生研究教育计划(PREP)，该计划 将为七(7)名任职人数不足(UR)参与者提供为期一年的循证计划 教职员工和近同行的有效指导研究培训以及技术、运营和专业技能 为进入严格的生物医学、专注于研究的博士或医学博士/博士课程而开发。参与者 将以9个人月(75%全职)的努力和3个人的努力担任研究后学士学位毕业生- 几个月(25%全职)的努力，以进一步发展技能。拟议的准备工作的长期目标是 扩大训练有素、多样化的生物医学科学家队伍，提供需要解决的各种观点 人类健康和疾病方面的重要问题，包括健康差距。 拟议中的耶鲁大学预科项目将从广泛的学院和大学招收学士毕业生 但尤其是历史上的黑人大学(HBCU)和西班牙裔服务机构(HSI) 通过已建立的合作伙伴关系。耶鲁大学预科学校还将利用其28年的长期合作关系， 与领导力联盟一起招募和指导参与者。 具体可衡量的备考学员目标包括：(1)提高申请的准备程度 博士或医学博士/博士课程；(2)增加跨生物医学学科的知识和理解；(3) 提高对科学推理、严格的研究设计、实验方法和 定量和计算方法；(4)增加对方法和方法的含义的理解 负责任、有道德、有诚信地进行研究；(5)有发起、指导、分析、 口译，并提出可重复的研究，并增加自我指导；(6)发展技能，以 以书面形式向广泛的受众传达科学研究方法和成果 口头上；(7)增加健康差距知识；(8)增加对不同职业道路的了解 生物医学研究。预期结果包括：(1)超过75%的参与者过渡到 在完成两年内在生物医学领域进行严格的以研究为重点的博士或医学博士/博士课程 预科；(2)具有与原预科学员相当的博士学位和医学博士/博士研究生毕业率 达到或超过所在院校同类学科的学生；(3)有以前的预科学员 进入生物医学研究队伍的职业生涯。

Project Summary This proposal describes a Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) at Yale University that will provide seven (7) underrepresented (UR) participants with a one-year program of evidence-informed faculty and near-peer effective mentored research training and technical, operational, and professional skills development for entry into rigorous biomedical, research-focused Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. programs. Participants will serve as research post-baccalaureates at nine person-months (75% full-time) effort and three person- months (25% full-time) effort to further skills development. The long-term goal of the proposed PREP is to expand the pool of well-trained, diverse biomedical scientists with the range of perspectives needed to address important problems in human health and disease, including health disparities. The proposed Yale PREP will recruit baccalaureate graduates from a wide range of colleges and universities but especially Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) through established partnerships. The Yale PREP will also leverage its long-standing, 28-year relationship, with the Leadership Alliance to recruit and mentor participants. Specific measurable PREP participant objectives include: (1) Increased level of preparedness for applying to Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. programs; (2) Increased knowledge and understanding across biomedical disciplines; (3) Increased understanding of scientific reasoning, rigorous research design, experimental methods, and quantitative and computational approaches; (4) Increased understanding of what it means to approach and conduct research responsibly, ethically, and with integrity; (5) Experience initiating, conducting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting reproducible research with increasing self-direction; (6) Development of skills to communicate scientific research methodologies and findings to a wide variety of audiences in writing and verbally; (7) Increased health disparities knowledge; (8) Increased knowledge of the varied career paths in biomedical research. Expected outcomes include: (1) Having greater than 75% of participants transition into rigorous research-focused Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. programs in biomedical fields within two years of completing the PREP; (2) Having Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. completion rates of former PREP participants that are comparable to or greater than students in similar disciplines at their institution; and (3) Having former PREP participants enter careers in the biomedical research workforce.
