项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): UCLA's Maximizing Student Diversity Program (MSD, formerly Minority Scientist Development Program) is the centerpiece of a group of integrated activities to support the academic and professional development of a large cohort of predominantly underrepresented minority undergraduate science students. First year students are recruited to the Program for Excellence in Education and Research in the Sciences (PEERS), which supports academic achievement and encourages participation in research. The Biomedical Sciences Enrichment Program (BISEP) trains the most promising PEERS students (and some others) in the conduct of research, how to read the scientific literature, and the techniques of modern biomedical research. These well-prepared students are assisted in obtaining research positions and are supported by the CARE Fellows and Scholars Programs, which provide financial support and additional training in research skills. The best of these students become MARC U*STAR, DC LEADS (University of California Leadership Excellence through Advanced Degrees), or Howard Hughes Undergraduate Researchers. Others become MSD Scholars, who participate in an advanced journal club and prepare an undergraduate thesis. Transfer students, who rarely have the research backgrounds for the most competitive programs, are supported through the CARE Fellows, Scholars and MSD Scholars Programs. These core activities are supplemented by continued and intense personal academic and career counseling, participation in workshops to enhance academic skills and to prepare students for graduate school in the sciences. The goals of the MSD Program are (1) to have 90% of MSD program participants complete baccalaureate degrees in a life or physical science; (2) to have 50% of PEERS students take part in a faculty-mentored research experience prior to graduation; (3) to have 50% of BISEP and MSD research students complete a significant research project (undergraduate thesis); and (1) to have 12 MSD students enter postbaccalaureate or graduate programs leading to research degrees each year. UCLA's MSD Program has a strong history of engaging a large number of minority students who excel academically and go on to the most competitive graduate programs. We expect to do even better with continued support from NIH.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学洛杉矶分校的最大化学生多样性计划（MSD，以前是少数群体科学家发展计划）是一组综合活动的核心，旨在支持大量少数少数群体中代表性不足的学术和专业发展。第一年的学生被招募到科学教育和研究卓越计划（PEERS），该计划支持学术成就并鼓励参与研究。生物医学科学丰富计划（BISEP）在研究，如何阅读科学文学以及现代生物医学研究的技术方面训练最有前途的同伴学生（以及其他一些）。这些准备充分的学生得到了获得研究职位的协助，并得到了护理研究员和学者计划的支持，这些计划提供了经济支持和额外的研究技能培训。这些学生中最好的学生成为Marc U*Star，DC Leads（加利福尼亚大学通过高级学位卓越领导力）或霍华德·休斯的本科研究人员。其他人则成为MSD学者，他参加了高级期刊俱乐部并准备本科论文。转学学生很少有针对最具竞争力的计划的研究背景，受到护理研究员，学者和MSD学者计划的支持。这些核心活动补充了持续和强烈的个人学术和职业咨询，参加研讨会，以提高学术技能并为学生做好科学研究生的准备。 MSD计划的目标是（1）让90％的MSD计划参与者在生活或物理科学中完成学士学位；（2）有50％的同龄学生在毕业前参加教师的研究经验；（3）让50％的BISEP和MSD研究专业的学生完成一个重要的研究项目（本科论文）；（1）让12名MSD学生参加每年获得研究学位的毕业后或研究生课程。加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）的MSD计划具有悠久的历史，即吸引大量少数族裔学生，这些学生在学术上表现出色，并继续参加最具竞争力的研究生课程。我们希望在NIH的持续支持下做得更好。
