 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Purchase College MARC U-STAR Honors Program: Building the Academic, Social and Economic Capital of Underrepresented STEM Scholars aligns with the mission and commitment of Purchase College to build programming to support underrepresented (UR) students' success in STEM. The program is designed to meet central goals that will help to improve the depth and quality of UR professionals in biomedical or behavioral research careers: Increase the number of UR students majoring in STEM at Purchase College; Support 25 UR trainees' progress through a bachelor's degree and PhD or PhD/MD in STEM. The program will also build Purchase College's capacity to effectively recruit diverse students into STEM programs and provide the support they need for success. We have conducted an institutional self-assessment (as described in the background) to assess need. Our resulting program utilizes evidence-based practices to improve recruitment of UR STEM students, improve STEM pedagogy in courses for majors and non-majors, and support trainees for 24 consecutive months during the junior and senior year. Our intent is that through the acquisition of academic, social, and economic capital, trainees will become, and come to see themselves as, fully capable academic "insiders." The program will ensure that trainees build capital as they are challenged and supported in rigorous STEM courses, four semesters of research on campus and ten weeks of research at a research-intensive university. Trainees will have opportunities to conduct research in biology, biochemistry, biostatistics, chemistry, cognitive science, computer science, human development, environmental health, epidemiology, mathematics, neuroscience, pharmacology, and socio-medical science. Rigorous academic and research experience coupled with access to tutoring, study groups, and regular engagement with a community of motivated peers will help trainees acquire academic capital. Tuition support, a summer stipend, and instruction on how to obtain scholarships, fellowships, and grants will enable trainees to build economic capital. Trainees will build social capital through regular interaction with faculty, service learning, and interactions with graduate students and faculty at other institutions and scientific conferences. The program maximizes student-faculty interaction, minimizes the presentation of science as impersonal and competitive, and provides the rigor necessary to prepare students for graduate study and careers in biomedical and behavioral science. We will disseminate findings and program materials at conferences, in published papers and on a program website.

 描述（由适用提供）：采购学院MARC U-Star荣誉计划：建立代表性不足的STEM学者的学术，社会和经济资本与采购学院的使命和承诺相一致，以建立编程以支持代表性不足（UR）学生在STEM中的成功。该计划旨在满足中心目标，这些目标将有助于提高生物医学或行为研究职业的专业人员的深度和质量：增加购买学院STEM专业的学生的数量；通过STEM中的学士学位和博士学位或博士学位/博士学位，支持25名UR学员的进步。该计划还将建立购买学院有效招募潜水员学生进入STEM计划的能力，并提供成功所需的支持。我们已经进行了机构自我评估（如背景中所述）以评估需求。我们由此产生的计划利用基于证据的实践来改善您的STEM学生的招聘，改善STEM教育学的专业和非律师课程，并在大三和大四时连续24个月为受训者提供支持。我们的目的是，通过获得学术，社会和经济资本的收购，学员将成为，并将自己视为完全有能力的学术“内部人士”。该计划将确保受训者在严格的STEM课程中受到挑战和支持的资本，在一所研究密集型大学中进行了四个学期的研究和十周的研究。学员将有机会进行生物学，生物化学，生物统计学，化学，认知科学，计算机科学，人类发展，环境健康，流行病学，数学，神经科学，药理学和社会医学科学的研究。严格的学术和研究经验，加上访问辅导，学习小组以及与成熟同伴社区的定期交往将有助于受训者获得学术资本。学费支持，夏季压力以及有关如何获得奖学金，奖学金和赠款的指示将使学员能够建立经济资本。学员将通过与其他机构和科学会议的研究生和教职员工的互动，服务学习以及与研究生和教师的互动来建立社会资本。该计划最大程度地提高了学生教师的互动，将科学表现为非人格化和竞争性的表现，并为学生提供了为研究生学习和生物医学和行为科学职业做好准备所必需的严格性。我们将在会议，发表的论文和计划网站上传播发现和程序材料。
