Project Summary/Aims NC State is the largest university in North Carolina, with nearly 34,000 students, including 8,500 graduate students. Approximately 56% of all students are men, and 44% are women; approximately 16% are members of underrepresented groups. Yet, the number of programs focusing on preparing highly qualified UR students for PhD or MD/PhD is low (1). There is, therefore, a strong need for this program at NC State. In addition, team or interdisciplinary science has become an integral component of biomedical research. Yet most training programs still rely on the traditional single discipline training. This U-STAR program combines the strengths of a university- wide biomedical institute, the Comparative Medicine Institute (CMI), and the University Honors Program at NC State in order to train the next generation of UR biomedical scientists in a rigorous inter/trans disciplinary environment. Major program components include: 1) A pre-U-STAR feeder program designed to introduce students to the program and to the unique skills required to carry team science; 2) A “Mentor-the-Mentor” program for Graduate students, Postdoctoral Fellows and Junior Faculty mentoring U-STAR Scholars; 3) A U- STAR program that provides rigorous hands-on research mentoring in inter/transdisciplinary sciences; and 4) Professional development activities that include career and academic advising, seminar series, preparation to present orally and in poster format, workshops on scientific communication, introduction to existing T32 programs at NC State and at our partner institution, UNC Chapel Hill, and assistance with application to graduate school. Our overall goal is to enroll 10 new U-STAR scholars each year, 70% of which will matriculate in a biomedical sciences PhD or an MD/PhD program.

项目概要/目标 北卡罗来纳州立大学是北卡罗来纳州最大的大学，拥有近 34,000 名学生，其中毕业生 8,500 名 大约 56% 的学生是男性，大约 16% 是女性； 然而，专注于培养高素质UR学生的项目数量不足。 博士学位或医学博士/博士学位的比例较低 (1)，因此北卡罗来纳州立大学非常需要该项目。 然而，跨学科科学已成为生物医学研究的一个组成部分。 仍然依靠传统的单一学科培训，这个U-STAR项目结合了大学的优势—— 广泛的生物医学研究所、比较医学研究所 (CMI) 和北卡罗来纳大学荣誉项目 国家旨在以严格的跨学科方式培养下一代 UR 生物医学科学家 主要项目组成部分包括： 1) U-STAR 预供料项目旨在引入 学生参与该计划以及进行团队科学所需的独特技能 2) “导师中的导师”； 研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师指导 U-STAR 学者的计划 3) A U- STAR 项目提供跨学科科学方面严格的实践研究指导；4) 专业发展活动，包括职业和学术建议、研讨会系列、准备 口头和海报形式呈现、科学传播研讨会、现有 T32 项目介绍 在北卡罗来纳州立大学和我们的合作伙伴北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校，并协助申请研究生院。 我们的总体目标是每年招收 10 名新的 U-STAR 学者，其中 70% 将进入生物医学专业 科学博士或医学博士/博士课程。
