Project Summary/Abstract MARC at Temple University Building on the 10-year success of “TU MARC U* STAR Program,” Temple University (TU) seeks funding to advance its mission to train undergraduate students of racial/ethnic and disadvantaged groups that are traditionally underrepresented (UR) in biomedical sciences, and prepare them for graduate school PhD or MD/PhD programs. TU provides access to a relatively large undergraduate population of UR students consistently ranking in the top programs in the nation in undergraduate diversity. In the College of Science and Technology (CST), black and Hispanic students comprise 24% of the total. Many TU undergraduate students are first-generation college students and many UR students attended public schools in the Philadelphia area. Underprepared students have few college-level study skills, and often have part- or full-time jobs. TU has the potential to increase the pool of students who would not otherwise consider or be prepared for PhD programs. Our initial MARC program was established at Temple University in 2009 with funding for the first cohort of 8 rising juniors. We successfully oriented students to research and a built cohort, students were assigned to faculty mentors matched with their research interests. Mentors from TU included faculty in the College of Science and Technology, research centers at Lewis Katz School of Medicine (LKSOM), College of Engineering (Bioengineering Department) and College of Public Health. Over the past 10 years of two funding cycles (2009- 2019), our MARC program graduates successfully enrolled in or graduated from PhD, MD/PhD or enrolled in PREP programs for PhD or MD/PhD or Master’s program with goal of entering a PhD program. Our overall success rate of MARC graduates entering graduate programs in biomedical sciences within 3 years of graduation is 85%. In this application, we aim to extend and expand the MARC program by addressing the shortfall of college students in biomedical sciences and urgent need to increase the diversity of biomedical and behavioral research. We have and will continue to address the need to ensure more UR undergraduates pursue PhD or research-focused MD/PhD programs. The successful features of the past program will be integrated with new components with the addition of the community engagement in research training. The goal is to build on the research support at Temple University from the CST Research for Undergraduate Program (URP), LKSOM U54 Cancer Health Disparity Research and Education program (PI: Dr. Ma) and T32 programs, as well as continue student research support through graduation and transition into graduate PhD or MD/PhD programs. We will enroll 16 promising students into our MARC program for two years of research support. Faculty mentors across multi-disciplines and colleges agreed to provide full-time, hands-on research training and mentorship. Trainee measurable outcomes will be GPA, number of research presentations and co-authored publications and acceptance to competitive PhD or MD/PhD programs through graduation and participation in the biomedical workforce as a result of improved research, communication and social skills/emotional intelligence.

项目摘要/摘要 马克大学的马克 建立在“ Tu Marc U* Star计划” 10年成功的基础上，Temple University（TU）寻求资金 促进其培训种族/种族和灾难团体的本科生 传统上，生物医学科学的代表性不足（UR），并为研究生院的博士做准备 MD/PHD计划。 TU提供了相对较大的UR学生本科生的访问权限 在本科多样性中始终如一地排名全美的顶级计划。在科学学院 技术（CST），黑人和西班牙裔学生占总数的24％。许多TU本科生 是第一代大学生和许多UR学生就读于费城地区的公立学校。 准备不足的学生的大学水平学习技能很少，并且经常有部分或全职工作。 tu有 有潜力增加原本不考虑或为博士学位课程做好准备的学生库。 我们最初的MARC计划于2009年在Temple University建立，并为第一个队列提供了资金 大三学生。我们成功地以学生为导向的学生进行研究，并将学生分配给教师 导师与他们的研究兴趣相匹配。 TU的导师包括科学学院的教职员工 技术，工程学院刘易斯·卡茨医学院（LKSOM）的研究中心 （生物工程系）和公共卫生学院。在过去的10年中，两个资金周期（2009-- 2019年），我们的MARC计划毕业于博士学位，医学博士或入学 具有进入博士学位计划的目标的博士学位或MD/PHD或MASTER计划的准备课程。我们的整体 MARC毕业生在生物医学科学研究生课程中的成功率在3年内 毕业是85％。在此应用程序中，我们旨在通过解决 在生物医学科学领域的大学生缺口以及迫切需要增加生物医学和 行为研究。我们已经并且将继续满足确保更多您的本科生购买的需求 博士或以研究为重点的MD/PHD计划。过去程序的成功功能将与 新组件随着社区参与研究培训的增加。目标是建立在 CST大学本科课程研究（URP）的研究支持，LKSOM U54 癌症健康差异研究与教育计划（PI：MA博士）和T32计划，以及继续 通过毕业和过渡到研究生博士学位或MD/博士学位课程的学生研究支持。我们将 注册16名有前途的学生参加我们的MARC计划，以获得两年的研究支持。教师的导师 多学科和大学同意提供全职，动手的研究培训和精神训练。学员 可衡量的结果将是GPA，研究演示的数量和共同作品的出版物以及 通过毕业和参与生物医学来接受竞争性博士或MD/PHD计划 由于改善了研究，沟通和社交技能/情商智力，劳动力。
