The goal of the OHSU Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) is to provide sustained research experiences and active mentorship to recent college graduates from underrepresented backgrounds as a means to guide these promising scholars in their pursuit of becoming successful biomedical researchers. 

OHSU PREP is funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, OHSU Vollum Institute, and OHSU Research & Innovation.
