项目摘要

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.

项目概要多元化的教育和科学社区，包括具有不同生活经历、文化背景的人们背景和种族对于培养一支能够解决技术和问题的强大劳动力队伍至关重要不幸的是，美国在新的全球互联经济中面临着巨大的社会挑战。美国科学界的不平等，来自经济和社会弱势群体的个人有背景、有残疾、来自某些种族群体（即非洲人、原住民和拉丁美洲人）的人代表性不足，因此无法贡献自己的才能，因此应该采取强有力的方法。这种方法的出发点是为了纠正科学界内部缺乏多样性的问题。学院和大学的学生来自服务不足的社区，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。学生可能会对他们的研究兴趣产生负面影响。为了追求科学事业，我们提议建立“最大限度地获得研究职业机会” 加州大学圣地亚哥分校 (MARC) 项目的使命是释放学生的潜力来自弱势社会经济背景的族裔群体和学生在科学领域的代表性不足拟议的 MARC 计划旨在激励、培训、指导和促进残疾人士的发展。加州大学圣分校的本科生从大学到博士课程的过渡。迭戈将建立在本科生“Initiative for 最大限度地提高学生发展”(IMSD) 计划拟议的 MARC 计划由两个部分组成。为实现我们的目标而进行的初始 Pre-MARC“新手训练营”培训。获得在研究活动中取得成功的基本科学技能（第一阶段），然后是通过参与该项目下的研究项目，让学者们沉浸在丰富的科学环境中对国际公认的、富有成效的、资金充足的调查人员进行监督和指导出色的培训记录（第 2 阶段）在这种情况下，学员通过获得知识来增强他们的初始科学培训。实验规划、时间管理、数据收集、解释、再现性方面的专业知识，演讲和道德，最终目标是攻读博士学位。伴随领导力和职业发展培训，以提高学生的自我认同和自我效能作为科学家，从而支持他们对研究事业的追求。
