Project Summary/Abstract The University of California, Berkeley (UCB) is a world-class research institution with a large number of biomedical science undergraduates who are underrepresented minority, are first-generation college students, come from low-socio-economic backgrounds or are disabled. The overarching goal of the UCB MARC program is to prepare highly motivated students from these underrepresented (UR) groups to apply and succeed in Ph.D. programs, helping to address the nation's need for a diverse scientific workforce. The program will address barriers that deter UR students from pursuing research careers using three strategies. First, the program will place students in labs run by PIs known for their scientific rigor and undergraduate mentoring skills. Second, the program will provide a series of scientific and professional development workshops, journal clubs and research seminars that will enhance the trainees' written and oral communication skills, their ability to ask important scientific questions and to design rigorous experiments to address these questions, and to critically evaluate the scientific findings. Third, the program will build a cohort of students and mentors who will support each other and help the trainees achieve their career goals. Together, these strategies will enhance the self-efficacy and science identity of the trainees and produce a group of gritty and rigorous young scientists with promising futures. The program will engage evaluation and assessment tools to ensure that these strategies are successful in achieving the its goals and to provide the flexibility to improve the program as it evolves. The program will support UR junior and senior students with an intention to pursue a Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences. Over the course of this five-year grant, we propose to support 78 MARC Scholars. Our goal is to have >75% of MARC Scholars to matriculate into Ph.D. programs within two years of graduation from UCB. The proposed MARC Program will also serve as a model for programs seeking to increase diversity and support the success of undergraduate students from UR groups in research careers and share best practices with programs that have overlapping goals.

项目摘要/摘要 加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校（UCB）是一家世界一流的研究机构 代表人数不足的生物医学科学本科生是第一代大学生， 来自低社会经济背景或残疾。 UCB MARC计划的总体目标 是为这些代表性不足（UR）团体的高度积极进取的学生准备在博士学位上申请并取得成功。 计划，有助于满足国家对多样化科学劳动力的需求。该程序将解决 阻止学生使用三种策略从事研究职业的障碍。首先，该程序将 将学生放在由PIS经营的实验室中，以其科学严谨和本科指导技能而闻名。第二， 计划将提供一系列科学和专业发展研讨会，期刊俱乐部和研究 将提高学员的书面和口头沟通技巧的研讨会，他们询问重要的能力 科学问题并设计严格的实验来解决这些问题，并批判性地评估 科学发现。第三，该计划将建立一群学生和导师，他们将互相支持， 帮助学员实现职业目标。这些策略将共同提高自我效能和科学 受训者的身份，并以有希望的未来生产一群坚韧而严格的年轻科学家。这 计划将参与评估和评估工具，以确保这些策略成功实现 它的目标并提供灵活性，以改善程序的发展。 该计划将为您的大三学生和高级学生提供攻读博士学位。在生物医学中 科学。在这项为期五年的赠款的过程中，我们建议支持78个马克学者。我们的目标是 > 75％的MARC学者入学博士学位。从UCB毕业后的两年内计划。这 拟议的MARC计划还将作为寻求增加多样性和支持的计划的模型 来自UR团体研究职业的本科生的成功，并与计划分享最佳实践 具有重叠的目标。
