项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NRSA-MARC U*STAR Program at Alabama State University (ASU) supports the NIH/NIGMS/MORE Division goal to increase the number of researchers from groups underrepresented in biomedical/behavioral research. ASU is the state's 2nd largest 4-year, public historically black college/university (HBCU) and is located in Montgomery, the capitol city with the unique and paradoxical distinction of serving both as the Cradle of the Confederacy and the Birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. The institutional track record for science graduates completing doctorate degrees is solid - 14 ASU B.S. degree graduates earned science doctorates over the 2000-2006 period; another 12 are currently in the science doctorate pipeline. The outcome goal of the MARC U*STAR Program at ASU is to increase the institutional number of graduates completing science doctorate degrees by at least 15%. Funds are requested to support nine (9) MARC U*STAR trainees annually over the 2008 - 2013 proposed grant period. The MARC U*STAR Program at ASU has been designed to improve the "PhD readiness" of the university's undergraduate scientific training pool. Based upon extensive evaluation of institutional and program data, 3 process goals executed through 6 measurable objectives propose to focus upon 1) rigorous gateway courses, 2) a selection system strengthened by quantitative talent and motivation assessments, 3) enhancement of defined cognitive and developmental skills, 4) comprehensive laboratory research training, 5) commitment of appropriate institutional services and authorities, and 6) student outcomes-focused evaluation designed to ultimately measure the program's long-term impact upon the professional progression of program graduates. Academic activities are level-specific for the ASU science pipeline and include remodeling of gateway "entry" courses, development of education plans, a proactive progress reporting system, and an Academic Assistance Network to facilitate appropriate learning interventions. Enhancement of technical writing, quantitative and verbal skills will be conducted and assessed through curricular and skill-specific workshop activities. Pre-professional development skills will be improved through topic-specific workshops and seminars with scientists; several are ASU graduates. The Research Triangle is an excellent research training model for ASU's mid-sized faculty research program. This component features continuous research experiences for trainees with ASU faculty collaborating with scientists at research institutions on original research projects. Three standing committees will steer the advisory, curricular and research functions of the program. A relational data management system will improve the evaluation and tracking capacities of the program. This well-conceived program design will significantly contribute to ASU's continued success toward preparing underrepresented scientists for the U.S. scientific research workforce.

描述（由申请人提供）：阿拉巴马州立大学（ASU）的NRSA-MARC U*Star计划支持NIH/NIGMS/更多部门目标，以增加生物医学/行为研究中代表性不足的研究人员的数量。 ASU是该州第二大的4年公共历史上的黑人学院/大学（HBCU），位于蒙哥马利，这是国会大厦城市，其独特而矛盾的区别是作为同盟国的摇篮和公民权利运动的出生地。填写博士学位的科学毕业生的机构往绩是可靠的-14 ASU B.S.学位毕业生在2000 - 2006年期间获得了科学博士学位；目前还有12个在科学博士管道中。 ASU的MARC U*Star计划的结果是，将获得科学博士学位的毕业生人数提高至少15％。要求资金在2008年至2013年拟议的赠款期间每年支持9（9）Marc U*星年培训人员。 ASU的MARC U*Star计划旨在改善大学本科科学培训池的“博士学位准备”。 Based upon extensive evaluation of institutional and program data, 3 process goals executed through 6 measurable objectives propose to focus upon 1) rigorous gateway courses, 2) a selection system strengthened by quantitative talent and motivation assessments, 3) enhancement of defined cognitive and developmental skills, 4) comprehensive laboratory research training, 5) commitment of appropriate institutional services and authorities, and 6) student outcomes-focused evaluation designed to ultimately measure the program's长期影响计划毕业生的职业发展。对于ASU科学渠道而言，学术活动是特定于级别的，包括对门户“入学”课程的重塑，教育计划的制定，积极进步的报告系统以及一个学术援助网络，以促进适当的学习干预措施。通过课程和技能特定的研讨会活动，将进行和评估技术写作，定量和言语技能的增强。专业的发展技能将通过特定于主题的讲习班和科学家的研讨会来提高；几个是ASU毕业生。研究三角是ASU中型教师研究计划的出色研究培训模型。该组成部分为学员提供了不断的研究经验，而ASU教师与研究机构的科学家在原始研究项目上合作。三个常设委员会将指导该计划的咨询，课程和研究职能。关系数据管理系统将提高程序的评估和跟踪能力。这种构想良好的计划设计将为ASU的持续成功做出重大贡献，为为美国科学研究劳动力做准备不足的科学家。
