DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MARC U*STAR Scholars Program at the University of Houston-Downtown (MARC USP) is an innovative MARC program that brings together a creative Hispanic Serving Institution, the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) with exceptional biomedical graduate programs in the world's largest medical center, the Texas Medical Center (TMC). The MARC USP leverages off the successful Scholars Academy (SA) at UHD. The SA has been successful in recruiting, retaining, and graduating underrepresented minorities for the last five years in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The two main goals of the MARC USP are the training of qualified pre-doctoral underrepresented minority students in biomedical sciences and the entrance of these students into strong biomedical doctoral programs across the country. Unique activities involved in achieving the goals of the MARC USP include: (1) three summers of undergraduate biomedical research at a local undergraduate and graduate schools and collaborating graduate schools across the country; (2) the creation of the Graduate School Family Symposium; (3) formation a Techniques in Biomedical Science Course; (4) formation of a GRE and Graduate School Preparation Course; and (5) yearly conference presentation experience. A special aspect of the biomedical undergraduate research tract is the pre-doctoral research program held at the University of Houston- Downtown, followed by a summer at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and ending with a summer undergraduate research program at the GSBS, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Houston, Texas A & M University, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine or the University of California at Berkeley. The end result of this five-year program will be the participation of a minimum of 75 students in biomedical science training, a 100% biomedical doctoral program application rate for MARC Scholars, and the entrance of at least 15 underrepresented minority doctoral students into top-quality biomedical sciences graduate programs. Pre and post-program assessment will be performed on the MARC Scholars and the various training activities by an outside evaluator

描述（由申请人提供）：休斯敦 - 镇镇（MARC USP）的MARC U*Star Scholars计划是一项创新的MARC计划，汇集了一个创意的西班牙裔西班牙裔服务机构，休斯敦 - 镇镇（UHD），以及在世界上最大的医疗中心，德克萨斯州最大的医疗中心（TMC）的外部生物医学研究生计划。 MARC USP利用UHD成功的学者学院（SA）。在过去的五年中，SA在科学，技术，工程和数学方面已经成功地招募，保留和毕业的人数不足。 MARC USP的两个主要目标是培训合格的生物医学科学少数少数族裔学生的培训，并将这些学生带入全国强大的生物医学博士课程。 实现MARC USP目标的独特活动包括：（1）在当地的本科和研究生院的本科生物医学研究的三个夏季以及全国各地的研究生院合作； （2）创建研究生院家庭研讨会； （3）形成生物医学科学课程的技术； （4）形成GRE和研究生院的准备课程； （5）年度会议演讲经验。生物医学本科研究的一个特殊方面是在休斯敦市区举行的博士前研究计划，随后在休斯敦的德克萨斯健康科学中心的生物医学科学研究生院夏天，结束于加利福尼亚大学医学院的夏季医学院夏季夏季夏季大学生学院，伯克利。这项为期五年计划的最终结果将是至少有75名学生参加生物医学科学培训，MARC学者的100％生物医学博士课程申请率以及至少15名代表性不足的少数族裔博士生的入学率。外部评估将对MARC学者和外部评估者进行各种培训活动进行预评估
