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）：天普大学 2007 年在本科生多样性方面排名第一，强调了扩大生物医学和行为科学 (BMBS) 领域代表性不足的少数族裔学生 (URM) 进入博士学位的渠道的机会。或医学博士/博士学位程序。崭露头角的大三学生将通过表现出较高的学术成就和对 BMBS 研究的兴趣而被选为 MARC 学员。学员将在参加为期一周的关于研究和负责任行为的介绍性研讨会后，在大三结束后的夏季进入研究导师的实验室。学员将在大三期间继续从事研究项目。他们将在大四的暑假在外部机构从事研究。我们计划成功的关键是在天普大学第一年和第二年招募和留住潜在的 MARC 学员。我们的 MARC 管道计划将识别和招募相关专业的高素质 URM 本科生，并提供学术和同行支持，以确保他们作为潜在的 MARC 学员的成功和坚持。大学将为这些学生提供暑期实习，这是保留和提高他们学业成绩的行之有效的方法。我们的 MARC 计划将重点关注对成功至关重要的几个组成部分，包括：早期研究接触、同行群体的识别、学术规划和支持（包括有关职业选择和机会的信息）、专业入门课程目标技能研讨会、接触科学研究界以及家庭成员更多的参与和支持。 MARC 计划纳入了评估和评估策略，以客观地衡量学术成就、研究沟通技巧以及对 BMBS 领域的认同等成果的改进。 MARC 计划将跟踪所选学生相对于同类学生的实习/奖学金、同行评审研究论文的撰写和出版以及竞争激烈的研究生课程录取数量的增长情况。相关性：如果成功，公共利益将是建立一个模型计划，以增加科学领域代表性不足的学生的招募、保留和成就，并促进 BMBS 研究专业人员的更大多样性。
