CSHL PREP

摘要 冷泉港实验室（CSHL）学士后研究教育的目标 计划（PREP）是为了增加代表性不足的少数民族（URM）的学生人数， 生物医学科学准备学员入学进入高度竞争和严格的 博士研究生课程和未来在科学相关领域的成功。CSHL PREP将提供 世界一流的研究经验，专业发展和科学发展 身份和社区的参与者。申请资助四名PREP学者， 在癌症和分子生物学，神经科学，遗传学和 基因组学，定量生物学和植物生物学，在CSHL PREP的指导下， 教员。学者将创建一个个人发展计划，定义他们的研究 兴趣，确定相关的课程，并建立目标和时间表，为他们的时间在 计划和未来的职业生涯。他们将参加技能发展课程， 专门为他们设计的，包括写作和口头报告讲习班， 指导准备研究生院申请。他们还将参加PREP 训练营课程，以扩大他们在生物科学的知识基础。学者们将有 许多机会来发展他们的科学身份和社区。他们将参加 在校园范围内的研讨会，会议和期刊俱乐部与他们的研究实验室，国家 会议，和研究生运行研究生研讨会系列。他们将受益于 有一个研究导师，一个直接导师（研究生或博士后在他们的研究 实验室）和近同行导师（研究生）。这些导师将发挥积极的作用， 在将学者融入CSHL社区方面发挥作用，并帮助他们建立科学的 网络，例如每年访问CSHL参加会议的大约12，000名科学家 会议和课程计划。PREP委员会将监督CSHL PREP。 委员会将每月与学者在PREP茶，并与学者和他们的 在季度进展会议上担任研究导师。此外，项目主任和项目 协调员将每月与个别学者举行报到会议。有效性 CSHL PREP将由CSHL的学校管理人员进行内部评估，并由 巴隆研究服务通过结合调查结果，机密报告， 研究导师和离职面谈。

ABSTRACT The goal of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) is to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students in the biomedical sciences by preparing trainees for matriculation into highly competitive and rigorous Ph.D. graduate programs and future success in science-related fields. CSHL PREP will provide world-class research experience, professional development, and development of scientific identity and community to its participants. Funding is requested for four PREP Scholars to conduct a year of research in cancer and molecular biology, neuroscience, genetics and genomics, quantitative biology, and plant biology, under the mentorship of a CSHL PREP faculty member. Scholars will create an individual development plan that defines their research interests, identifies relevant coursework, and establishes goals and timelines for their time in the program and their future careers. They will participate in the Skills Development course, designed exclusively for them, that includes writing and oral presentation workshops, and guidance in preparing for graduate school applications. They will also attend the PREP Bootcamp course to broaden their knowledge base in the biosciences. Scholars will have numerous opportunities to develop their scientific identity and community. They will participate in campus-wide seminars, meetings and journal clubs with their research laboratories, national conferences, and the graduate student run Graduate Seminar Series. They will benefit from having a Research Mentor, a Direct Mentor (a graduate student or postdoc in their research laboratories) and a Near-Peer Mentor (a graduate student). These mentors will play an active role in integrating the Scholars into the CSHL community, and help them build a scientific network, such as with the approximately 12,000 scientists that visit CSHL annually to attend the Meetings and Courses program. The PREP Committee will have oversight of CSHL PREP. The committee will meet monthly with the Scholars at PREP Teas, and with the Scholar and their Research Mentor in quarterly Progress Meetings. Moreover, the Program Director and Program Coordinator will have Check-In meetings with individual Scholars monthly. Effectiveness of CSHL PREP will be evaluated internally by CSHL’s School administrators and externally by Barone Research Services through a combination of survey results, confidential reports by Research Mentors, and exit interviews.
