DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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: outreach, recruitment and preparation for university life; academic support and enrichment; and research training and career development. Through the MSD 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.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的长期目标 是增加继续进入加州大学洛杉矶分校的代表性不足的学生数量 生物医学研究的职业。为满足这一要求而提出的一般方法 目标是让来自那些种族群体的学生感兴趣 国家科学计划中的代表性严重不足（非洲 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，并为他们作为本科生和研究生的成功做好准备。 具体目标是增加 UCLA 本科生的数量 完成生物医学科学专业的代表性不足的群体，进入 进入加州大学洛杉矶分校（和其他机构）生物医学领域的研究生学习 科学，随后从事生物医学研究。加州大学洛杉矶分校 少数族裔科学家发展（MSD）计划将培养一支 生物医学领域的本科生和研究生比例不足 科学，为他们提供大学资源、导师和有前途的支持 职业经历。 MSD 计划包含三个主要组成部分：外展、 大学生活的招聘和准备；学术支持和 丰富;以及研究培训和职业发展。通过默沙东 计划和从其他科学发展计划中获得的经验，我们可以 增加加州大学洛杉矶分校入学人数不足的学生数量 生物医学相关专业并成功完成本科和 这些专业的高级课程，导致生物医​​学研究的职业生涯。
