项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of UCSC MARC U*STAR program is to prepare underrepresented minority students for admission to Ph.D. programs and professional research careers in the biomedical sciences concordant with the mission statement of the NIGMS MARC U*STAR program. The overall goal of the UCSC MARC U*STAR program is to have at least 80% of UCSC-MARC Fellows enroll in and subsequently be awarded the Ph.D. from prestigious graduate departments in the biomedical sciences. To accomplish this ambitious goal, the UCSC-MARC U*STAR program has set several quantifiable objectives for the next five years: 1) to increase the MARC applicant pool by 100% and to improve the overall academic credentials and awareness of careers in research of these students. 2) to raise the GRE scores of all MARC Fellows to at least the 80th percentile in all areas. 3) to have all MARC Fellows present and/or author a scientific paper in a peer reviewed forum or journal before graduation. 4) to have all MARC Fellows research, write and submit a predoctoral fellowship application to a national agency prior to admission in a Ph.D. program. To achieve these objectives the UCSC-MARC U*STAR program will continue to provide and augment a rigorous yet personally supportive program of training and hands on research experience. The program will involve third and fourth year students, majoring in Biology, Chemistry or Computer Sciences and Applied Mathematics, in a integrated academic and research environment that will include: (1) training in research theory and methodology; (2) activities that include Student Research Seminar Course, Research Design and Methodology, Colloquia on Current Topics in Biomedical Sciences and a MARC Visiting Faculty Seminar; (3) an opportunity for summer research at an off-campus or on-campus site; (4) intense, personalized academic and career advisement; and (5) an opportunity to prepare for the Graduate Record Examination and Predoctoral Fellowship preparation. UCSC-MARC U*STAR Fellows will be selected on the basis of academic achievement and research potential as well as an expressed interest in pursuing an advanced graduate degree in the sciences Evaluation of the success of the UCSC-MARC U*STAR program will be assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitatively, an extensive database detailing information on academic performance, research productivity, GRE performance, etc will be collected and maintained for all students from the time of entry into the UCSC-MARC pool, through the UCSC-MARC Fellowship and subsequent graduate training and their professional research career. Qualitative measures of program effectiveness will be obtained by detailed annual questionnaires circulated to UCSC-MARC Fellows, UCSC-MARC faculty mentors and the advisory committee. Data collection and dissemination of summary information will be accomplished through the interactive UCSC-MARC U*STAR web site now under development.

描述（由申请人提供）： UCSC MARC U*STAR 项目的使命是为代表性不足的少数族裔学生攻读博士学位做好准备。与 NIGMS MARC U*STAR 计划的使命宣言一致的生物医学科学项目和专业研究职业。 UCSC MARC U*STAR 计划的总体目标是让至少 80% 的 UCSC-MARC 研究员注册并随后获得博士学位。来自生物医学领域著名的研究生院。为了实现这一雄心勃勃的目标，UCSC-MARC U*STAR 计划为未来五年设定了几个可量化的目标：1）将 MARC 申请者人数增加 100%，并提高整体学术资历和对研究职业的认识。这些学生。 2) 将所有 MARC 研究员的 GRE 成绩在所有领域至少提高到第 80 个百分点。 3) 让所有 MARC 研究员在毕业前在同行评审论坛或期刊上发表和/或撰写科学论文。 4) 让所有 MARC 研究员在获得博士学位之前进行研究、撰写并向国家机构提交博士前奖学金申请。程序。为了实现这些目标，UCSC-MARC U*STAR 计划将继续提供和增强严格但个人支持的培训和实践研究经验计划。该项目将涉及生物、化学或计算机科学和应用数学专业的三年级和四年级学生，他们将在一个综合的学术和研究环境中学习，其中包括：（1）研究理论和方法的培训； (2) 活动包括学生研究研讨会课程、研究设计和方法论、生物医学科学当前主题座谈会和 MARC 客座教授研讨会； (3) 在校外或校内进行暑期研究的机会； (4) 深入、个性化的学术和职业建议； (5) 准备研究生入学考试和博士前奖学金准备的机会。 UCSC-MARC U*STAR 研究员将根据学术成就和研究潜力以及对攻读科学高级研究生学位的兴趣来选拔对 UCSC-MARC U*STAR 计划的成功进行评估无论是数量上还是质量上。从数量上讲，将从进入 UCSC-MARC 人才库开始，通过 UCSC-MARC 奖学金和随后的研究生培训及其专业研究生涯。项目有效性的定性衡量标准将通过向 UCSC-MARC 研究员、UCSC-MARC 教师导师和咨询委员会分发详细的年度调查问卷来获得。数据收集和摘要信息的传播将通过目前正在开发的交互式 UCSC-MARC U*STAR 网站来完成。
