DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The demographic figures of the student body at California State University Long Beach (CSULB) mirror the rapidly changing diversity of the community we serve in urban Los Angeles and Orange counties. The Hispanic/Latino population forms the largest ethnic underrepresented minority (URM) group at CSULB, which is designated a Hispanic Serving Institute. Students entering CSULB come from an academic, socioeconomic, health and domestic status that is vastly disparate from that of their non-URM counterparts. In a climate fraught with draconian cuts in budget at all levels, CSULB is charged with the responsibility of combating the educational and professional hurdles faced by this cross section of population and shaping tomorrow's leaders in many walks of life, including biomedical research. The MARC U*STAR Program, which has been in place for over 20 years in CSULB, has a tremendous impact on the academic and professional lives and career decisions of many students. The overall aim of the current competitive renewal is to continue to increase the number of URM students entering and earning doctorates in biomedical sciences. The program will recruit 8 URM students with potential and interest in pursuing research as a career, and provide individually designed academic and research training plan to each. We will provide a rich and intense curriculum, supplementary academic support and counseling, an enriching research experience, and professional and leadership development training in a nurturing environment over a period of two years. Further, we have established collaborations with Universities with outstanding graduate programs, which will provide additional short-term extramural research training for the Scholar. We will also increase the awareness of Scholars to minority health disparities issues, and engage them in topics on responsible conduct of research, and ethics and integrity in academia and research. The Program director has gathered a team of Faculty Mentors, senior administrators, an Advisory Committee and staff members, who are committed to the successful development of the Scholars. Taken together, the MARC program will support the Scholars and lay the essential groundwork required to face the rigors of graduate school education in a highly competitive atmosphere. In parallel, we will increase the awareness of faculty regarding the setbacks encountered by URM students. All components of the CSULB MARC U*STAR Program will be rigorously evaluated by an ongoing evaluation process, based on quantitative and qualitative assessment employing established rubric and tools to assess the success of the Program. The evaluator will provide valuable feedback to the Program Director and senior administration to sustain a robust Program. In summary, the CSULB MARC U*STAR Program will have a lasting impact on the career decisions of URM students by providing opportunities to attend graduate school in biomedical sciences and give back to the health and medical needs of the community. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The CSULB MARC U-STAR Program is designed to increase the number of underrepresented minority students entering and earning doctorate degrees in the biomedical sciences by providing enhanced academic and research training, professional and leadership development skills, leading to successful matriculation into doctoral programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：加利福尼亚州立大学长滩（CSULB）学生群体的人口统计数据反映了我们在洛杉矶市和橙色县所服务的社区的迅速变化。西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口构成了CSULB中最大的人数不足的少数民族（URM）群体，该组织被指定为西班牙裔服务学院。进入CSULB的学生来自学术，社会经济，健康和国内地位，与非盟军同行截然不同。在各个级别的预算中充满严厉削减预算的气候下，CSULB负责打击这个人口的横截面所面临的教育和专业障碍，并在包括生物医学研究在内的许多人生活中塑造明天的领导者。在CSulb已有20多年的Marc U*Star计划对许多学生的学术和职业生活和职业决策产生了巨大影响。当前竞争性更新的总体目的是继续增加生物医学科学博士学位的URM学生人数。该计划将招募8位具有潜在和兴趣从事研究的URM学生，并为每个人提供单独设计的学术和研究培训计划。我们将在两年内提供丰富而强大的课程，补充的学术支持和咨询，丰富的研究经验以及在培养环境中的专业和领导力发展培训。此外，我们已经与大学与杰出的研究生计划建立了合作，该计划将为学者提供其他短期外壁外研究培训。我们还将提高学者对少数族裔健康差异问题的认识，并参与负责任的研究以及学术界和研究中的伦理和诚信的主题。该计划主任聚集了一支由教师导师，高级管理人员，咨询委员会和工作人员组成的团队，他们致力于成功发展学者。综上所述，MARC计划将支持学者，并为在竞争激烈的氛围中面对研究生教育的严格性所需的基本基础。同时，我们将提高教师对URM学生遇到的挫折的认识。 Csulb Marc U*星计划的所有组件将通过持续的评估过程进行严格评估，该评估过程基于使用已建立的标语和工具来评估该计划成功的定量和定性评估。评估人员将向计划主管和高级管理部门提供有价值的反馈，以维持强大的计划。总而言之，CSULB MARC U*Star计划将通过提供参加生物医学科学研究生院并回馈社区的健康和医疗需求的机会，从而对URM学生的职业决定产生持久影响。 公共卫生相关性：CSULB MARC U-StAR计划旨在通过提供增强的学术和研究培训，专业和领导力发展技能，从而成功地介绍了博士学位，从而增加了代表性不足的少数群体学生的数量，从而增加了生物医学科学博士学位。
