Summary The long-term goal of our ADAR Program is the increased diversity of MSTEM students that pursue graduate degrees and research careers in aging-related areas. For this, we propose to enhance the UC Davis ADAR Scholars Program, a comprehensive three-year program with two major components. The first is the one-year ADAR Program, which will support eight diverse sophomore students selected from the freshmen participating in our pre-ADAR program [the Biology Undergraduate Scholars Program]. This component is designed to enhance retention, foster academic excellence, and kindle interest and engagement in aging research; it involves course work, advising, and research experience. The second component, the ADAR-Honors Program (ADAR-HR), is a research-intensive two-year program designed to encourage and support eight diverse juniors and seniors to matriculate into aging-related graduate programs. ADAR-HR provides a two-year research-intensive experience, including one summer at another institution. It will promote student retention and academic excellence through activities that facilitate social and academic integration and scientific identity formation within a supportive peer group; it will engage students in research as well as in discussions of aging research topics, integrity in research, and experimental design. It will also provide them with career information, experience in proposal writing and oral and written scientific presentations, and guidance in the graduate school application process. To achieve these goals, ADAR-HR will have four main components: advising, research experience, professional development, and community activities that enhance science identity formation and provide important sources of social support. ADAR-HR has the following measurable objectives: (1) Four diverse juniors per year will be recruited into ADAR-HR; (2) Ninety percent of ADAR-HR students will graduate in an MSTEM field with a GPA ≥ 3.25; (3) ADAR-HR students will have increased expertise as student researchers with respect to understanding experimental design and data interpretation in aging-research areas; (4) ADAR-HR students will develop professional communication skills by presenting their research locally and nationally; (5) ADAR-HR students will develop awareness of graduate program application processes; (6) ADAR-HR students will develop scientific identity through storytelling and outreach activities; (7) The majority (>50%) of ADAR-HR students will matriculate into graduate programs involving aging- related research within two years of receiving their Bachelor's degree.

概括 我们 ADAR 计划的长期目标是增加追求 MSTEM 学生的多样性 为此，我们建议加强加州大学在老龄化相关领域的研究生学位和研究职业。 戴维斯 ADAR 学者计划是一个为期三年的综合计划，包含两个主要部分。 第一个是为期一年的 ADAR 计划，该计划将支持从 参加我们的 ADAR 预科项目 [生物学本科生学者计划] 的新生。 组件旨在提高记忆力、促进学术卓越、激发兴趣和 参与老龄化研究；它涉及课程工作、建议和研究经验。 ADAR 荣誉计划 (ADAR-HR) 是一个为期两年的研究密集型计划，旨在 鼓励和支持八名不同的三年级和四年级学生入读与老龄化相关的毕业生 ADAR-HR 项目提供两年的研究密集型经验，其中包括一个暑假。 它将通过促进社交的活动来提高学生的保留率和学业成绩。 它将在一个支持性的同行群体中进行学术整合和科学身份的形成； 学生参与研究以及老龄化研究主题的讨论、研究的完整性以及 它还将为他们提供职业信息、提案写作和经验。 口头和书面科学演示，以及研究生院申请过程中的指导。 为了实现这些目标，ADAR-HR 将有四个主要组成部分：建议、研究经验、 专业发展和社区活动，增强科学认同的形成并提供 ADAR-HR 的重要社会支持来源有以下可衡量的目标： (1) 四个不同的目标。 每年将招募 ADAR-HR 的大三学生；(2) 90% 的 ADAR-HR 学生将在 ADAR-HR 中毕业； MSTEM 领域的 GPA ≥ 3.25；(3) ADAR-HR 学生将获得更多的专业知识 研究人员了解衰老研究中的实验设计和数据解释 (4) ADAR-HR 学生将通过展示他们的研究来培养专业沟通技巧 (5) ADAR-HR学生将培养研究生项目申请意识 (6) ADAR-HR 学生将通过讲故事和外展活动培养科学认同； (7) 大多数 (>50%) ADAR-HR 学生将入读涉及老龄化的研究生课程—— 获得学士学位后两年内进行相关研究。
