DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The established Indians into Research Careers (IRC) is a MARC U-STAR program at the University of Minnesota Duluth. This Competitive Renewal requests continued support for four scholars per year for a three year period. The program objective is to graduate 8 scholars with a BS degree and have at least 6 entering a graduate program in biomedical research. MARC scholars will receive academic advisement, peer mentoring, close faculty interactions and special curriculum to foster an interest in biomedical research. IRC has been integrated into a consortium of training programs that include the Bridges to the Baccalaureate and Doctoral Degree Programs. Trainees will be selected from the sophomores at UMD, or second year students from Bridge Partner Schools at Lake Superior College and Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College. Within the consortium are shared responsibilities from a Steering Committee to provide programmatic oversight and a Scholastic Committee to monitor student progress. The American Indian Learning Resource Center (AILRC), PD and Co-PD will provide academic advisement and graduate students from the Bridge Program will provide peer mentoring. The MARC scholars will participate in faculty directed hypothesis driven research beginning with the summer semester prior to their junior year. Research at external sites will be encouraged during the summer months between the students' junior and senior years. A Pre-MARC program is proposed to develop communication skills, enlighten students about health disparities and ignite an interest in biomedical research. The MARC curriculum will include a course in Critical Concepts to hone reasoning and develop learning strategies, a course in Responsible Conduct in Research, and Seminars in American Indian Health. Academic advisement is structured on three tiers: round table discussions, faculty consultations, and intervention through the AILRC.

描述（由申请人提供）：已建立的印第安人研究职业 (IRC) 是明尼苏达大学德卢斯分校的 MARC U-STAR 项目。此竞争性更新要求在三年内每年继续为四名学者提供支持。该项目的目标是培养 8 名学者获得学士学位，并至少有 6 名学者进入生物医学研究研究生项目。 MARC 学者将获得学术建议、同行指导、密切的教师互动和特殊课程，以培养对生物医学研究的兴趣。 IRC 已被纳入一个培训计划联盟，其中包括通往学士学位和博士学位课程的桥梁课程。学员将从 UMD 的二年级学生或苏必利尔湖学院和丰迪拉克部落和社区学院的 Bridge 合作学校的二年级学生中选拔。在该联盟内，指导委员会和学术委员会共同负责提供计划监督和监督学生的进步。美洲印第安人学习资源中心 (AILRC)、PD 和 Co-PD 将提供学术建议，桥梁项目的研究生将提供同伴指导。 MARC 学者将从大三之前的夏季学期开始参与教师指导的假设驱动研究。在学生大三和大四之间的夏季，将鼓励在外部地点进行研究。 MARC 预科课程旨在培养沟通技巧、启发学生了解健康差异并激发对生物医学研究的兴趣。 MARC 课程将包括一门旨在磨练推理和制定学习策略的批判概念课程、一门负责任的研究行为课程以及美洲印第安人健康研讨会。学术建议分为三个层次：圆桌讨论、教师咨询以及通过 AILRC 进行干预。
