Description
This proposal describes a Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) at Yale University that will provide five 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. The long-term goal is to expand the pool of well-trained, biomedical scientists with the range of perspectives needed to address important problems in human health and disease, including health disparities.
