项目摘要

The long-term objective of this proposal is to increase the number of underrepresented UCLA students who go on to enter careers in biomedical research. The general approach proposed to meet this objective is to interest students from those ethnic groups that are significantly underrepresented in science programs nationally (African Americans, Hispanic Americans [Chicanos and Latinos], Puerto Ricans, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, and Pacific Islanders) in biomedical research careers and to prepare them for success as undergraduate and graduate students. The specific goals are to increase the number of UCLA undergraduates from underrepresented groups who complete majors in the biomedical sciences, enter into graduate studies at UCLA (and other institutions) in areas of biomedical science, and subsequently pursue careers in biomedical research. The UCLA Minority Scientist Development (MSD) program will build a cadre of underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students in the biomedical sciences, supporting them with university resources, mentors, and promising career experiences. The MSD program has three major components; counseling and tutoring, mentorship and research experiences. Through the MSF program and experience gained from other science development programs, we can increase the numbers of underrepresented students at UCLA who enter into biomedical related majors and who successfully complete both undergraduate and advanced programs in these majors, leading to careers in biomedical research.

该提案的长期目标是增加继续进入生物医学职业的加州大学洛杉矶分校学生人数不足研究。为实现这一目标而提出的一般方法是来自那些种族群体的学生感兴趣在全国科学项目中代表性不足（非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人 [奇卡诺人和拉丁裔]、波多黎各人、原住民美国人、阿拉斯加原住民和太平洋岛民）从事生物医学研究职业生涯并为他们在本科生和研究生的成功做好准备学生。具体目标是增加 UCLA 的数量来自代表性不足群体的本科生，他们完成了以下专业生物医学科学，进入加州大学洛杉矶分校（和其他大学）研究生学习机构）在生物医学科学领域，并随后追求生物医学研究的职业。加州大学洛杉矶分校少数族裔科学家发展计划（MSD）计划将建立一支由代表性不足的本科生和生物医学科学研究生，为他们提供支持大学资源、导师和有前途的职业经历。默沙东计划由三个主要部分组成；咨询和辅导、指导和研究经历。通过无国界医生计划和获得的经验从其他科学发展计划中，我们可以增加加州大学洛杉矶分校进入生物医学相关专业的学生人数不足并成功完成本科和高级课程这些专业，导致了生物医学研究的职业。
