项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): MARCU*STAR in Action in Contrasting University Settings seeks to clarify the relationship between science curriculum, federal policy, and identity formation by providing a comprehensive description and analysis of the long-standing NIH intervention, MARCU*STAR (Minority Access to Research Careers, Undergraduate Science Training and Research), whose purpose is to increase the number and competitiveness of underrepresented minorities in careers as research scientists. Using a longitudinal, contextualized, multidisciplinary and multi-method research design, it will provide (i) a well-theorized and empirically-based model of how minority youth move, in the standard and enriched MARCU curriculum, from being science majors to novice researchers, with an eye toward graduate school and careers as research scientists, (ii) an evidentiary baseline of what MARCU*STAR's curriculum is in practice, (iii) the often tacit assumptions about race/ethnicity, science, and the federal role in health and education that undergird the curriculum, and (iv) suggestions for modifying practice and policy that derive from the research knowledge. The research is important and relevant to health because the persisting under-representation of some minorities in science threatens the legitimacy of the science community, public support for the federal resources science commands, and knowledge production and knowledge utilization in the biomedical sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：Marcu*在与大学环境相比的行动中，旨在阐明科学课程，联邦政策和身份形成之间的关系，通过对长期以来的NIH干预，Marcu*Star（Marcu*STAR）（少数派对研究职业，研究生培训和研究生科学研究的目的）的全面描述和分析，以增加对竞争力和竞争力的竞争力的目的，以提高其目的，以增加竞争力和竞争力。 Using a longitudinal, contextualized, multidisciplinary and multi-method research design, it will provide (i) a well-theorized and empirically-based model of how minority youth move, in the standard and enriched MARCU curriculum, from being science majors to novice researchers, with an eye toward graduate school and careers as research scientists, (ii) an evidentiary baseline of what MARCU*STAR's curriculum is in practice, （iii）经常对种族/种族，科学以及联邦在卫生和教育中的联邦作用的默契假设，这些假设是培养课程的卫生和教育，以及（iv）修改从研究知识中得出的实践和政策的建议。这项研究与健康很重要，并且与健康有关，因为某些少数群体在科学领域的持续不足会威胁到科学界的合法性，公共对联邦资源科学司令部的支持以及生物医学科学中的知识生产和知识利用。
