Outcome data from 6 National Institutes of Health-funded Postbaccalaureate Research Education Programs (PREPs) in the Mid-Atlantic region were combined to give a multi-institutional perspective on their scholars' characteristics and progress through biomedical research training. The institutions hosting these programs were Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the Medical University of South Carolina, the University of Maryland School of Medicine, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The authors summarize the institutional pathways, demographics, undergraduate institutions, and graduate institutions for a total of 384 PREP scholars who completed the programs by June 2021. A total of 228 (59.4%) of these PREP scholars identified as Black or African American, 116 (30.2%) as Hispanic or Latinx, and 269 (70.0%) as female. The authors found that 376 of 384 scholars (97.9%) who started PREP finished their program, 319 of 376 (84.8%) who finished PREP matriculated into PhD or MD/PhD programs, and 284 of 319 (89.0%) who matriculated have obtained their PhD or are successfully making progress toward their PhD.
将来自中大西洋地区 6 个美国国立卫生研究院资助的博士后研究教育计划 (PREP) 的结果数据进行合并，从多机构的角度了解这些学者的特点和通过生物医学研究培训取得的进展。主持这些项目的机构有约翰霍普金斯大学医学院、南卡罗来纳医科大学、马里兰大学医学院、北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校、弗吉尼亚联邦大学和弗吉尼亚理工大学暨州立大学。作者总结了这些机构的途径、人口统计学、本科院校和研究生院校，共有 384 名 PREP 学者在 2021 年 6 月前完成了该项目。在这些 PREP 学者中，共有 228 名（59.4%）自称为黑人或非裔美国人，116 名（30.2%）为西班牙裔或拉丁裔，269 名（70.0%）为女性。作者发现，在开始 PREP 的 384 名学者中，有 376 名（97.9%）完成了他们的项目，在完成 PREP 的 376 名学者中，有 319 名（84.8%）进入了博士或 MD/PhD 项目，在进入博士或 MD/PhD 项目的 319 名学者中，有 284 名（89.0%）已获得博士学位或正在成功攻读博士学位。
