 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Like much of the city it called home for nearly 140 years, the Dillard University (Dillard) campus was devastated in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. The university has since rebounded strongly with more than $150 million spent in campus renovation and restoration, including a new $43 million, 160,000 sq. ft. professional science building. This is in strong reaffirmation of the university's commitment to the training of its mostly local studet population, which is 98% African American, with 99% receiving federal financial aid. Further evidence of the University's commitment to strengthen the training of its students in the sciences is demonstrated in the establishment of an NIH-funded collaboration with Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC), which has a strong focus on community education programs to promote underrepresented minority interest in joining clinical trials, along with an aggressive plan to enhance research collaborations with Dillard. We propose to leverage this Dillard / LSUHSC partnership to establish the Dillard MARC U*STAR Honors Program, which aims to increase Dillard's productivity in developing underrepresented minority biomedical and behavioral scientists. Through our partnership with LSUHSC New Orleans, students will have access to teaching, research, and health care functions state-wide. This program will maximize institutional impact through the expansion of our pool of highly qualified students in biology, chemistry and psychology with a strong interest in research-related careers, while providing specialized training for 40 students over the next five years, from a pool selected as "MARC Scholars," who will benefit from an enhanced curriculum, professional development activities, and year-round mentored research experiences. Specific aims are to Aim 1) develop and enhance a pool of highly qualified and engaged students with strong interest in pursuing biomedical or behavioral research related careers; Aim 2) to provide MARC Scholars a special advanced curriculum, academic and professional development, as well as year-round research training under the supervision of research mentors from DU, LSUHSC, or other research-intensive institutions; Aim 3) to strengthen institutional capacity for teaching and research training by providing focused professional development for potential Dillard MARC training faculty. Expected outcomes are to double the number of highly qualified and research interested students. At least 70% of MARC Scholars will matriculate into doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences within three years of baccalaureate degree attainment. The impact will be increased numbers of well-prepared underrepresented biomedical and behavioral science students and personnel in the nation and enhanced institutional capacity for sustained contributions in this area.

 描述（由适用提供）：就像它在近140年内所谓的家中的大部分城市一样，迪拉德大学（Dillard）校园在2005年被卡特里娜飓风摧毁了。此后，该大学在校园改革和恢复上花费了超过1.5亿美元，其中包括一座新的4,300万美元，160,000平方英尺的专业科学大楼。这是强烈重申该大学对培训其主要当地学生人口的承诺，即98％的非洲裔美国人，99％的人获得了联邦经济援助。在与路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心（LSUHSC）建立合作方面，证明了该大学致力于加强学生在科学中培训的承诺的进一步证据，该合作非常重视社区教育计划，该计划旨在促进少数群体的少数群体利益，以加入临床计划，并与一项积极的临床合作，以增强Dill Dill Dill。我们建议利用这种Dillard / LSUHSC合作伙伴关系来建立Dillard Marc U*Star Honors计划，该计划旨在提高Dillard在发展代表性不足的少数族裔生物医学和行为科学家方面的生产力。通过我们与LSUHSC新奥尔良的合作伙伴关系，学生将可以访问全州教学，研究和医疗功能。该计划将通过扩大我们在生物学，化学和心理学领域的高素质学生群体对研究相关职业的浓厚兴趣，同时在接下来的五年中为40名学生提供专门的培训，从而从选定的游泳池中为40名学生提供专门的培训，从而最大程度地发挥机构的影响。 作为“马克学者”，他将从增强的课程，专业发展活动和全年推荐研究经验中受益。具体目的是目标1）开发和增强对从事生物医学或行为研究相关职业的浓厚兴趣的高素质和敬业的学生；目标2）在DU，LSUHSC或其他研究密集型机构的研究导师的监督下，为MARC学者提供特殊的高级课程，学术和专业发展以及全年的研究培训；目标3）通过为潜在的Dillard Marc培训教师提供专注的专业发展，以增强教学和研究培训的机构能力。预期的结果是将高素质和研究兴趣的学生数量增加一倍。至少有70％的MARC学者将在学士学位学位的三年内矩阵中的生物医学科学博士课程。该影响将增加的影响力不足，代表性不足的生物医学和行为科学专业的学生和全国的人员，并增强了该领域持续贡献的机构能力。
