PROJECT SUMMARY As the United States becomes more diverse, it is imperative that institutions of higher education accelerate their efforts to ensure equity in the number of doctoral degrees awarded to students who are members of underrepresented (UR) groups. The University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver) is committed to this goal, and uniquely situated culturally and geographically to meet this need. The CU Denver campus is consolidated with the Anschutz Medical Campus (Anschutz) and, together, is classified as a “Doctoral University: Higher Research Activity”, with more than $400 million in annual sponsored research funding. As such, CU Denver is the only urban public research university in the State of Colorado, and it has the most diverse student body of any University of Colorado campus. In 2016, at least 34% of entering freshmen identified as underrepresented minority (URM) students and at least 57% as students of color. CU Denver was awarded its first MARC U-STAR award on May 22, 2013 (NIGMS T34 GM096958; 2013-2018), and is one of only two in the state. CU Denver was awarded a competing renewal in 2016. The renewal expanded the successful initial development of the CU Denver MARC U-STAR program to support 20 additional rising junior undergraduates (four new scholars per year) majoring in Integrative Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, and Public Health. The CU Denver MARC program complements and extends other training programs at CU Denver and Anschutz, expanding an institutional culture that supports the success of UR students and their entrance into doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. One unique aspect of the CU Denver MARC U-STAR program is a partnership with the CU Denver Clinical Health Psychology (CHP) program. Through this partnership, we have retained an advanced CHP doctoral student to serve as a wellness point-person for our scholars. This doctoral level student addresses threats to wellness and resiliency on multiple levels using preventative, in- vivo, and follow-up communication aimed at detecting scholar distress and building adaptive copings skills to mitigate distress for our scholars. This supplement aims to adapt this evidence-based program to be more culturally-responsive through a formative needs assessment (barriers impacting scholars, supports needed, self-advocacy skill development) and integration of new learning with the wellness and resiliency program. Culturally-responsive wellness and resiliency training can provide minoritized scholars with knowledge and skills necessary to successfully navigate academic adversity and discrimination with self-advocacy and resilience. These efforts, together with outstanding academic and research training and a culture of support for diversity and inclusion, will help the CU Denver MARC U-STAR program continue to meet the overarching MARC program goal that at least 90% of supported students graduate with a STEM degree and at least 60% matriculate into Ph.D. (or combined M.D./Ph.D.) programs in the biomedical sciences with a doctoral completion rate of at least 80%.

项目概要 随着美国变得更加多元化，高等教育机构必须加紧努力， 确保向代表性不足（UR）群体的学生授予博士学位数量的公平性。 科罗拉多大学丹佛分校 (CU Denver) 致力于实现这一目标，并拥有独特的文化和环境 为了满足这一需求，科罗拉多大学丹佛校区与安舒茨医学校区 (Anschutz) 合并。 并一起被归类为“博士大学：高等研究活动”，每年的研究经费超过 4 亿美元 因此，科罗拉多大学丹佛分校是科罗拉多州唯一一所城市公立研究型大学。 它拥有科罗拉多大学校园中最多元化的学生群体，2016 年，至少有 34% 的新生入学。 被认定为代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生，其中至少 57% 的有色人种学生获得了 CU 丹佛分校的奖项。 于 2013 年 5 月 22 日获得第一个 MARC U-STAR 奖（NIGMS T34 GM096958；2013-2018），是该州仅有的两个奖项之一。 CU 丹佛分校于 2016 年获得竞争性续约。此次续约扩大了 CU 丹佛分校最初成功发展的基础 CU Denver MARC U-STAR 计划将支持另外 20 名即将升入大三的本科生（每年四名新学者） 主修综合生物学、化学、心理学和公共卫生。 CU 丹佛 MARC 课程是补充。 并扩展了 CU Denver 和 Anschutz 的其他培训项目，扩大了支持 UR 学生的成功以及他们进入生物医学科学博士课程是 CU 的一个独特之处。 丹佛 MARC U-STAR 项目是与 CU 丹佛临床健康心理学 (CHP) 项目的合作伙伴关系。 通过这种合作关系，我们保留了一名高级 CHP 博士生，作为我们的健康点人员 这位博士级学生利用预防性的、内部的方法来解决多个层面上对健康和弹性的威胁。 体内和后续沟通旨在发现学者的困扰并建立适应性应对技能以缓解 本补充旨在使这一基于证据的计划更具文化敏感性。 通过形成性需求评估（影响学者的障碍、所需的支持、自我倡导技能发展）以及 将新学习与健康和弹性计划相结合。 培训可以为少数族裔学者提供成功应对学术逆境所需的知识和技能 这些努力以及出色的学术和研究。 培训和支持多样性和包容性的文化，将有助于 CU 丹佛 MARC U-STAR 计划继续 实现 MARC 计划的总体目标，即至少 90% 的受支持学生毕业时获得 STEM 学位并达到 至少 60% 入读生物医学科学博士（或联合医学博士/博士）课程并获得博士学位 完成率至少80%。
