DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The main goal of the proposed training program is to increase the pool of talented minority undergraduates who are well prepared academically and experienced in research as to be competitive for winning admission to top graduate programs, and who are strongly motivated to earn the Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree in disciplines important to biomedical research. Towards this purpose the following measurable objectives for the coming five-year grant period are proposed for the MARC U*STAR project: a) to promote the MARC Program in the UPRH and high schools in the Humacao region; b) provide an opportunity to high school students to acquire skills development increasing their potential to pursue a bachelor degree in science; c) provide an opportunity to undergraduate students to acquire skills development and competitiveness in research; d) to maintain the publication rate in peer-review journals where one of the authors is a UPRH-MARC student at the same rate as this working period; e) at least sixty percent (60%) of the participating undergraduates in the MARC Program will enroll in graduate programs leading to the Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences; f) at least twenty-eight percent (28%) of the natural science graduates from UPRH will apply to a graduate program or a post baccalaureate program. The UPRH proposes to train ten (10) junior and senior students for biomedical research careers. It is expected that these minority scientists will make a significant contribution to biomedical research. UPRH proposes to strengthen its honors training program with the following components: 1) a solid science curriculum; 2) an intramural classroom research program and a strong extramural research training opportunities; 3) improved career and academic advisement; 4) exposure to a broad range of biomedical research professionals and institutions through a seminar series; 5) participation in special courses and workshops. Our program also has a strong component for freshman and sophomore. For the first time we will have an outreach component for high schools seniors in the UPRH service area.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的培训计划的主要目标是增加在学术上做好了充分准备和经验丰富的研究的才华横溢的少数族裔本科生，以赢得高级研究生课程的竞选，并强烈积极地获得博士学位。或M.D./PH.D。对生物医学研究重要的学科学位。为此，为Marc U*Star项目提出了以下五年赠款期的以下可衡量目标：a）在Humacao地区的UPRH和高中推广MARC计划； b）为高中生提供了一个获得技能发展的机会，从而增加了他们获得科学学士学位的潜力； c）提供了本科生的机会，以获得技能发展和研究的竞争力； d）维持同行评审期刊的出版率，其中一位作者是UPRH-MARC学生的出版率，其速度与此工作期相同； e）MARC计划中至少有60％（60％）的大学生将招募导致博士学位的研究生课程。在生物医学科学中； f）UPRH的自然科学毕业生中至少有28％（28％）适用于研究生计划或学士学位课程。 UPRH建议培训十（10）名初中生和高级学生，从事生物医学研究职业。预计这些少数族裔科学家将为生物医学研究做出重大贡献。 UPRH建议通过以下组成部分来加强其荣誉培训计划：1）扎实的科学课程； 2）壁内课堂研究计划和强大的壁外研究培训机会； 3）改善职业和学术建议； 4）通过研讨会系列接触广泛的生物医学研究专业人员和机构； 5）参加特殊课程和研讨会。我们的计划还为新生和大二学生提供了强大的组成部分。我们将第一次为UPRH服务领域的高中生提供外展部分。
