项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program will continue to provide biomedical/behavioral research training of underrepresented minority (URM) students. In the current cycle, all 16 (100%) senior upperclassmen trainees graduated with BS/BA degrees, with honors. Eight of 16 (50%) enrolled in PhD programs directly at various T32 pre-doctoral program institutions and 3 (19%) enrolled in MS degree programs, one enrolled in a Pharmacy program and 1 enrolled in a Medical Education Development (MED) program with the intent to attend dental school in Fall 2013. The remaining 2 recent graduates are research associates with the intent to pursue graduate degree programs within 3 years of graduation. More importantly, 100% of graduates are now in the biomedical/behavioral science career pipeline. While in the MARC program, these trainees co-authored a total of 6 peer reviewed publications, attesting to the impact of this program on the productivity of faculty and students at WSSU. Moreover, trainees overwhelmingly regard the experience as a positive influence on their career choices in science, as outlined in the independent program evaluation report. The objective of this renewal is to contribute to the institutional goal of increasing the numbers of graduating UR students who gain admission into PhD programs from the current baseline of 15 over the last 5 years (8 from MARC) to at least 25 over the next 5 years (13 MARC Scholars). This will involve a cohort of 8 upperclassmen (4 juniors and 4 seniors) per year with a goal to matriculate 80% of MARC Scholar graduates into competitive PhD within 3 years of graduation (i.e. ~13 of 16 MARC Scholar graduates). We will leverage funding to include a parallel cohort of MARC Affiliates (4 juniors and 4 seniors) per year. The Affiliates will participate in activities withou direct support but benefit from placement in funded research labs, mentors, and placement in research programs at our T32 partner institutions with an expected success rate of 60% matriculating into PhD programs within 3 years of graduation. We propose to increase the number of MARC-eligible students by 10 per year via the pre-MARC activities with the freshmen and sophomores who will successfully complete program activities and 7 of 10 (70%) trainees become eligible for MARC Scholars' program or other programs on campus and/or pursue a graduate degree in sciences. We aim to 1) introduce students to biomedical research through hands-on participation; 2) introduce students to critical scientific evaluation by journal club papr presentations; 3) provide experience in scientific writing and speaking through presentation of their research projects as a poster; 4) provide exposure to research faculty, both basic science and clinical; and 5) foster a career commitment to the biomedical and behavioral sciences through an experience that exemplifies the excitement and challenges of clinically relevant investigations. Our new aims are to 6) teach critical thinking associated with biological/behavioral techniques and enhance the students' understanding of basic research and graduate education in the new 3-part Investigation & Research course as a supplement to a rigorous curriculum specific for MARC students; and 7) establish an Internet-based tracking tool to help maintain contact with prior participants-including eight currently enrolled in PhD programs- whose success can inspire others. The training program has over 20 mentors who have primary academic appointments in ten different Departments, Centers and Programs at WSSU and Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS) and will draw trainees from three WSSU participating departments in the College of Arts and Sciences: life sciences, chemistry, and behavioral sciences. The MARC program will be guided by an advisory committee consisting of both internal and external members and reviewed by an independent program evaluator.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划将继续提供代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的生物医学/行为研究培训。在当前周期中，所有16名（100％）高级高年级学员毕业于BS/BA学位，并获得了荣誉。直接在各种T32博士前计划机构中招募了16个（50％）中的8个（50％）中，有3个（19％）参加了MS学位课程，其中一名参加了药学课程，其中1名参加了医学教育发展（MED）计划（MED）计划，目的是在2013年秋季参加2名毕业生的研究学位。更重要的是，现在有100％的毕业生在生物医学/行为科学职业生涯中。在MARC计划中，这些受训者共同撰写了6个同行审查的出版物，证明了该计划对WSSU教职员工和学生生产力的影响。此外，正如《独立计划评估报告》中概述的那样，学员压倒性地将这种经验视为对科学职业选择的积极影响。这种续约的目的是为增加在过去5年中从当前15（从MARC的8个）获得录取博士学位课程的毕业生的学生人数促进机构的目标，以至于接下来的5年至少25年（13个MARC Scholars）。这将涉及每年有8名高年级人群（4名大三和4年级），其目标是将80％的MARC Scholar毕业生在毕业后的3年内将80％的毕业生纳入竞争性博士学位（即16名MARC Scholar毕业生中的13名）。我们将利用资金包括每年一组MARC分支机构（4名大三和4年级）。分支机构将与直接支持一起参加活动，但受益于资助的研究实验室，导师，并在我们T32合作伙伴机构的研究计划中安置，其预期成功率在毕业后的3年内为60％的成功率纳入博士学位计划。我们建议通过与新生和大二学生的MARC活动每年将MARC资格的学生的数量增加10，他们将成功完成计划活动，其中7名（70％）的学员中有7名（70％）成为了MARC Scholars计划或校园中的其他计划和/或在科学学士学位获得研究生学位。我们的目标是1）通过动手参与向学生介绍生物医学研究； 2）通过期刊PAPR演讲向学生介绍批判性的科学评估； 3）通过将研究项目作为海报提供科学写作和讲话的经验； 4）提供基础科学和临床研究教师的接触； 5）通过体现临床相关研究的兴奋和挑战的经验来促进对生物医学和行为科学的职业承诺。我们的新目标是6）教授与生物/行为技术相关的批判性思维，并在新的三部分调查和研究课程中增强学生对基础研究和研究生教育的理解，以补充MARC学生的严格课程； 7）建立一个基于Internet的跟踪工具，以帮助维持与先前参与者的联系 - 包括目前参加博士学位计划的八名 - 成功可以激发他人的博士学位。该培训计划有20多名导师，他们在WSSU和Wake Forest University Health Sciences（WFUHS）的十个不同部门，中心和计划中有主要学术任命，并将吸引艺术与科学学院三个WSSU参与系的受训者：生活科学，化学，化学，行为科学。 MARC计划将由由内部和外部成员组成的咨询委员会指导，并由独立计划评估员进行审查。
