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学生多样性最大化计划（MSD，以前的少数族裔科学家发展计划）是一组综合活动的核心，旨在支持一大群占主导地位的少数族裔本科理科学生的学术和专业发展。一年级学生被招募参加卓越科学教育和研究计划 (PEERS)，该计划支持学术成就并鼓励参与研究。生物医学科学强化计划 (BISEP) 培训最有前途的 PEERS 学生（以及其他一些人）进行研究、如何阅读科学文献以及现代生物医学研究技术。这些准备充分的学生将获得研究职位的帮助，并得到 CARE 研究员和学者计划的支持，该计划提供财政支持和研究技能方面的额外培训。这些学生中最优秀的学生将成为 MARC U*STAR、DC LEADS（加州大学高级学位卓越领导力）或霍华德休斯本科研究员。其他人则成为默沙东学者，参加高级期刊俱乐部并准备本科论文。转学生很少具备最具竞争力的项目的研究背景，他们通过 CARE 研究员、学者和默沙东学者项目获得支持。这些核心活动还辅以持续而深入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进入科学研究生院做好准备。 MSD 项目的目标是 (1) 让 90% 的 MSD 项目参与者完成生命科学或物理科学学士学位； (2) 让 50% 的 PEERS 学生在毕业前参加教师指导的研究活动；（3）让50%的BISEP和MSD研究生完成一项重要的研究项目（本科论文）； (1) 每年有 12 名 MSD 学生进入学士后或研究生课程，获得研究学位。加州大学洛杉矶分校的 MSD 项目有着悠久的历史，吸引了大量学业成绩优异的少数族裔学生，并继续攻读最具竞争力的研究生课程。我们期望在 NIH 的持续支持下做得更好。
