项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Temple University was ranked first in undergraduate diversity in 2007 highlighting the opportunity to expand the pipeline of underrepresented minority students (URM) in the biomedical and behavioral sciences (BMBS) entering Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. programs. Rising juniors will be selected as MARC trainees by demonstrating high academic achievement and interest in BMBS research. Trainees will enter a research mentor's laboratory in the summer following the junior year after participation in a week-long introductory workshop on research and responsible conduct. Trainees will continue working on research projects during their junior year. They will spend the senior summer engaged in research at an outside institution. Critical to the success of our program is the recruitment and retention of potential MARC trainees during the 1st and 2nd years at Temple. Our MARC pipeline program will identify and recruit high aptitude URM entering undergraduates in the relevant majors and provide academic and peer support to assure their success and persistence as potential MARC trainees. The University will provide summer internships for these students, a proven way to retain and enhance their academic performance. Our MARC program will focus on several components shown to be central to success including: early research exposure, identification of peer cohort, academic planning and support including information about career options and opportunities, workshops for targeted skills in entry courses to the major, exposure to the scientific research community and increased involvement and support of family members. The MARC program incorporates a strategy of evaluation and assessment to objectively measure improvements in outcomes such as academic achievement, research communication skills, and identification with the BMBS field. The MARC program will track increases in the number of internships/fellowships, authoring and publication of peer reviewed research papers, and acceptances into highly competitive graduate programs for the selected students relative to comparable peers. Relevance: If successful, the public benefit will be the existence of a model program to increase recruitment, retention, and achievement of underrepresented students in the sciences and to promote greater diversity among BMBS research professionals.

描述（由申请人提供）：2007年，坦普大学在本科多样性中排名第一，强调了在生物医学和行为科学（BMBS）中扩大人数不足的少数民族学生（URM）的机会。或MD/Ph.D。程序。通过表现出对BMBS研究的高学术成就和兴趣，将选出上升的大三学生作为MARC学员。在参加为期一周的研究和负责任的介绍研讨会后，学员将在夏天的夏天进入研究导师实验室。学员将在大三期间继续从事研究项目。他们将在外部机构中度过大四夏天的研究。对于我们计划的成功至关重要的是在Temple的第一年和第二年招募和保留潜在的MARC学员。我们的MARC管道计划将确定并招募高能力URM进入相关专业的大学生，并提供学术和同伴的支持，以确保他们作为潜在的MARC受训者的成功和持久。该大学将为这些学生提供暑期实习，这是保留和提高其学习成绩的良好方式。我们的MARC计划将重点介绍一些表现为成功的组件，包括：早期研究曝光，对同伴队列的识别，学术计划和支持，包括有关职业选择和机会的信息，针对主要入学课程的针对性技能的研讨会，对科学研究社区的接触以及增加的参与和对家庭成员的支持和支持。 MARC计划纳入了评估和评估策略，以客观地衡量诸如学术成就，研究沟通技巧和与BMBS领域的认同等结果的改进。 MARC计划将跟踪实习/奖学金的数量增加，同行评审的研究论文的创作和出版，以及对所选学生的高度竞争研究生课程的接受。相关性：如果成功的话，公共利益将是建立模型计划，以增加科学中代表性不足的学生的招聘，保留和成就，并促进BMBS研究专业人员的更大多样性。
