PROJECT SUMMARY A diverse educational and scientific community including people with different life experiences, cultural backgrounds, and ethnicities is vital for developing a robust workforce that can address the technological and social challenges of the U.S. in a new global and interconnected economy. Unfortunately, there is tremendous disparity in the U.S. scientific community in which individuals from disadvantaged economic and social backgrounds, with disabilities, and from some ethnic groups (i.e., African, Native, and Latino Americans) are underrepresented and therefore unable to contribute their talents. Therefore, a forceful approach should be developed to correct the lack of diversity within the scientific community. A starting point for this approach is at colleges and universities where students from underserved communities that do not have the same resources to support higher education begin their education. Indeed, the socio-economic reality of underprivileged students is likely to negatively impact their interest in research. To overcome the obstacles of preventing the pursuit of scientific careers, we are proposing the establishment of a “Maximizing Access to Research Careers” (MARC) program at UC San Diego with the mission is to unlock the potential of students from underrepresented ethnic groups in science, from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds and students with disabilities. The proposed MARC program is directed at motivating, training, mentoring, and facilitating the transition of undergraduate students from college to a Ph.D. program. This new MARC program at UC San Diego will be built on the success of 14 years of experience obtained from an undergraduate “Initiative for Maximizing Student Development” (IMSD) program. The proposed MARC program is composed of two consecutive phases to accomplish our goals. An initial Pre-MARC “Boot Camp” training where students acquire the fundamental scientific skills to be successful in research activities (Phase 1), which is followed by immersing scholars into a rich scientific environment by participating in a research project under the supervision and mentorship of internationally recognized, productive, and well-funded investigators with outstanding training records (Phase 2). In this setting, trainees enhance their initial scientific training by gaining expertise in experimental planning, time management, data collection, interpretation, reproducibility, presentations, and ethics, with the final goal of enrolling in a Ph.D. program. These phases will be accompanied by leadership and career development training to increase students’ self-identity and self-efficacy as scientists, thus supporting their pursuit of a research career.

项目摘要 一个多元化的教育和科学界，包括具有不同生活经验，文化的人 背景和种族对于建立可以解决技术和解决方案的强大劳动力至关重要 美国在新的全球和相互联系的经济中面临的社会挑战。不幸的是，有很多 美国科学界的差异，在该社区中，处于不利的经济和社会的个人 背景，残疾人以及一些种族（即非洲，本地和拉丁裔美国人）的背景 代表性不足，因此无法贡献他们的才能。因此，应有的方法应该是 开发旨在纠正科学界缺乏多样性。这种方法的起点是 来自服务不足社区的学生没有相同的资源 支持高等教育开始他们的教育。确实，贫困的社会经济现实 学生可能会对他们对研究的兴趣产生负面影响。克服防止 追求科学职业，我们提议建立“最大化研究职业的机会” （MARC）在圣地亚哥分校的计划，任务是解开学生的潜力 来自处境不利的社会经济背景和学生的科学中代表性不足的族裔 残疾。拟议的MARC计划致力于激励，训练，心理和支持 大学生从大学过渡到博士学位。程序。 UC SAN的这个新的MARC计划 迭戈将基于从本科“倡议 最大化学生发展”（IMSD）计划。拟议的MARC计划由两个计划组成 连续阶段实现我们的目标。学生最初的“新兵训练营”培训 获取在研究活动中取得成功的基本科学技能（第1阶段），其次是 通过参加一个研究项目，将学者置于丰富的科学环境中 国际认可，富有成效且资金充足的调查员的监督和心态 出色的培训记录（第2阶段）。在这种情况下，学员通过获得的来增强他们的最初科学培训 实验计划，时间管理，数据收集，解释，可重复性专家， 演讲和道德规范，其最终目标是入学博士学位。程序。这些阶段将是 伴随着领导和职业发展培训，以提高学生的自我认同和自我效能 作为科学家，支持他们对研究职业的追求。
