DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California at Riverside is one of the most diverse campuses in the nation and is located in one of the most rapidly growing and diverse regions of the United States. Most of the undergraduate students at UCR come from this region. Thus, there is a broad base of students from which to select and promote interest in a research career in the biomedically-related sciences. The Overall Goals of the MARC U* Program at the University of California, Riverside is to increase the number of eligible undergraduate minority students pursuing a PhD degree and a research career in the biomedically-related sciences. The Measurable Objective of the MARC U* Program is to increase the number of minority students going into PhD programs by one each year. The Overall Institutional Goal is to promote undergraduate research and to produce a large number of underprivileged and underrepresented minority students at UCR. This grant provides a Pre-MARC Development Program to increase the eligible pool of students for the Trainee Research Program. The goals of the MARC U* Program are the following: 1) Increase the pool of minority students eligible to become MARC U* Trainees by increasing the number of lower-division minority science majors at UCR that attain a GPA of 3.0 in Introductory Biology and Calculus; 2) provide support activities through tutoring, mentoring and a summer Pre-MARC Research Program by doubling the number of qualified minority students who apply to the MARC U* Training Program from an average of 15 to at least 30; 3) prepare MARC U* Trainees to become competitive for admission to and success in graduate school through research and other activities. The Measurable Objective is the percentage of student presentations at scientific meetings, authorship of scientific articles, and percentage of Trainees involved in extramural experiences will increase from 20% to 80%; 4) encourage MARC U* Trainees to apply to and graduate from PhD programs by increasing the number of Trainees who apply to and are accepted into PhD research programs to 100%. RELEVANCE: The increased number of highly qualified minority undergraduates produced by this MARC U* grant will be well prepared for entrance to PhD Programs and scientific research. The MARC U* Scholars will serve as role models in the scientific community to help break down racial concepts and barriers as well as producing interesting and productive research.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学河滨分校是全美最多元化的校园之一，位于美国发展最快、最多元化的地区之一。 UCR 的大部分本科生都来自该地区。因此，有广泛的学生基础可以选择和促进对生物医学相关科学研究职业的兴趣。加州大学河滨分校 MARC U* 项目的总体目标是增加符合条件的少数族裔本科生攻读博士学位和从事生物医学相关科学研究的人数。 MARC U* 计划的可衡量目标是每年增加一名进入博士课程的少数族裔学生的数量。总体机构目标是促进本科生研究并在加州大学河滨分校培养大量贫困和代表性不足的少数族裔学生。这笔赠款提供了 Pre-MARC 发展计划，以增加符合培训生研究计划资格的学生人数。 MARC U* 计划的目标如下： 1) 通过增加 UCR 低年级少数族裔科学专业的数量（在入门生物学和 GPA 达到 3.0 ），增加有资格成为 MARC U* 学员的少数族裔学生人数结石; 2) 通过辅导、辅导和夏季 Pre-MARC 研究计划提供支持活动，将申请 MARC U* 培训计划的合格少数族裔学生人数从平均 15 人增加一倍至至少 30 人； 3) 通过研究和其他活动，让 MARC U* 学员具备进入研究生院并取得成功的竞争力。可衡量的目标是学生在科学会议上演讲的百分比、科学文章的作者以及参与校外体验的学员的百分比将从 20% 增加到 80%； 4) 将申请并被博士研究项目录取的学员人数增加至 100%，鼓励 MARC U* 学员申请并从博士项目毕业。 相关性：MARC U* 资助培养的高素质少数民族本科生数量不断增加，将为进入博士课程和科学研究做好充分准备。 MARC U* 学者将成为科学界的榜样，帮助打破种族观念和障碍，并开展有趣且富有成效的研究。
