YEARS 19 - 23: BCM POST-BACCALAUREATE RESEARCH EDUCATION PROGRAM

摘要 贝勒医学院毕业后研究教育计划(BCM-PREP)的目标是 指导在科学和医学领域未被充分代表(UR)的毕业后(学者) 有竞争力进入研究密集型生物医学博士项目并取得成功。BCM有一个 在本科生指导UR实习生的悠久历史(夏季医学研究培训，SMART， 自1988年以来)，毕业后(自2003年开始BCM预科)和毕业生(最大化学生倡议 发展，自1998年以来)。自最初的资助以来，BCM-Prep已经培训了106名学者，校友们 在BCM取得了与非UR学员相当的出色成就和工作效率记录，使他们能够 在生物医学研究社区中的领导角色。95%(95%)的校友参与了 学术界或科学相关领域的工作，促进了美国科学劳动力的多样性。这些 结果远远超过我们让75%的校友进入博士项目排名第一的目标 研究密集型机构，至少80%的校友注册并完成博士学位。这个BCM- Prep Renewal要求在未来五年内每年增加40名学者(8名/年)的培训名额。 我们建议继续在生物医学研究方面招聘、指导、培训和推进UR教育 支持学者在BCM最先进的研究实验室和核心设施工作。这个 课程和培训包括指导、实验室原创研究、科学写作和口语 演讲技巧，分析科学和医学文献，批判性思维和评价，有责任心 研究的进行，以及科学严谨性和重复性的原则。学者会发展出一个人 发展计划(IDP)，并学习如何持续审查IDP的职业和个人情况 成功。每位奖学金获得者将在复习基础知识的过程中获得学术经验 分子和细胞生物学。我们将通过写作研讨会和 科学会议的参与和指导，以获得奖学金、写作和资助金。我们将使用 创新的教育经验和做法，以支持发展和职业管理 基于国家辅导研究的指导学员和导师研讨会对我们UR学者的成功 通过在BCM开发的以团队为基础的科学培训来培养团队合作技能。这些 这些活动将推动加州大学毕业后的学生在研究密集型博士项目中取得成功，并 通过将注意力集中在创新的方法和经验上，使生物医学劳动力多样化 建立知识，以减少发病率和死亡率，并改善我们不同国家人口的健康。

Summary The goal of the Baylor College of Medicine Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program (BCM-PREP) is to mentor post-baccalaureates (Scholars) who are underrepresented (UR) in science and medicine to be competitive to enter into and be successful in a research-intensive biomedical Ph.D. program. BCM has a long history of mentoring UR trainees at the undergraduate (Summer Medical Research Training, SMART, since 1988), post-baccalaureates (BCM-PREP since 2003), and graduate (Initiative for Maximizing Student Development, since 1998). The BCM-PREP has trained 106 Scholars since initial funding and alumni have excellent records of achievement and productivity equivalent to non-UR trainees at BCM, positioning them for leadership roles in the biomedical research community. Ninety-five percent (95%) of alumni are involved in academia or jobs in science-related fields, contributing to the diversity of the US scientific workforce. These results far exceed our goals of having 75% of alumni enrolling in a Ph.D. program in top ranked research-intensive institutions and that at least 80% of alumni enroll and complete a Ph.D. This BCM- PREP renewal requests an extra slot annually to train forty Scholars (8/year) over the next five years. We propose to continue recruiting, mentoring, training, and advancing UR education in biomedical research by supporting Scholars to work at state-of-the-art research laboratories and core facilities at BCM. The curriculum and training include mentored, original research in a laboratory, science writing and oral presentation skills, analysis of the scientific and medical literature, critical thinking and evaluation, responsible conduct of research, and the principles of scientific rigor and reproducibility. Scholars will develop an individual development plan (IDP) and learn how to maintain a continuous review of the IDP for career and personal success. Each Scholar will be provided with academic experiences in review of foundational knowledge in molecular and cellular biology. We will enhance UR Scholar research success with writing workshops and scientific conference participation and mentoring for fellowship writing and grantsmanship. We will use innovative educational experiences and practices to support development and career management and success of our UR Scholars by mentee and mentor workshops based on the National Mentoring Research Network and by developing teamwork skills through team-based science training developed at BCM. These activities will advance the UR post-baccalaureates to be successful in research-intensive PhD programs and to diversify the biomedical workforce by focusing their minds on innovative approaches and experiences to build knowledge to decrease morbidity, mortality and improve the health of our diverse national population.
