Project Summary/Abstract Long term objectives: 1. At least 90% of MARC U-STAR trainees will graduate with a bachelor's degree in a STEM field. 2. At least 60% of MARC U-STAR trainees, within three years of graduation, will matriculate into a biomedical Ph.D. or combined M.D./Ph.D. program at a research-intensive institution and at least 80% of those will obtain the degree(s). Specific Aims: These elements for training will be implemented: (1) a mentoring infrastructure that provides academic and emotional support, (2) enriching opportunities for “immersion” into the scientific community such as research experience and exposure to the outside scientific community and (3) an innovative curriculum that integrates quantitative sciences with the biomedical sciences. Relevance to NIH mission: Northeastern Illinois University is in a unique position with MARC training funds to contribute to the national need of a diverse and highly trained workforce leading Nation's biomedical and behavioral research. Design, Methods, Key Focus: Curricular enhancement is a key focus of the program. We have two components of the MARC trainee program that will result in curricular enhancement: (1) The graduate school track: The trainee curriculum and activities will be open to pre-trainees and any other students interested in going to graduate school in the stem-related sciences, and (2) The creation of the Quantitative Interdisciplinary STEM minor. The establishment of this new minor provides a new focus within our science departments. The biological and health sciences are rapidly changing and becoming more interdisciplinary in nature. Currently and in the future successful students will need extensive knowledge and training beyond a field of specialty, especially in the quantitative sciences (Bio, 2010). To fulfill this need we are proposing a new minor that will expose students to interdisciplinary scientific research, with a special emphasis on enhancing quantitative skills. Although the minor will be housed within the math department, it will include courses taught by faculty in all biomedical-related fields. We see these two components as profoundly transformative in changing the nature of NEIU's academic curriculum to improve students' skills in a number of areas (mathematical, laboratory, research, and communication), to better prepare students for graduate school and to better prepare students for careers that are becoming more interdisciplinary in nature. Scientific Disciplines Encompassed in the Program: Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science. Levels Affected by the Program: Undergraduates. Duration of the Proposed Training: 2 years, juniors and seniors. Projected Number of Participating Trainees: 36 over 5 years.

项目摘要/摘要 长期目标：1。至少90％的MARC U-Star受训者将以Bacheror的学位毕业 STEM领域。2。 生物医学博士学位或合并 将获得最佳的特定目的：这些培训要素将被实施：（1） 提供学术和情感支持的基础设施，（2）丰富了“沉浸”的机会 研究经验和对外部科学界的接触等科学界和（3） 将定量科学与生物医学科学相结合的表课程。 NIH任务：东北：伊利诺伊大学在MARC培训资金中处于独特地位。 国家的需求和卡利的劳动力领导国家的生物医学和行为 研究，方法，关键重点：课程增强是我们所拥有的重点 MARC培训生计划的两个组成部分将持续到课程增强中：（1）研究生 学校轨道：学员课程和活动将是开放的学员和其他学生 对与STEM相关的科学的研究生院感兴趣 跨学科的茎未成年人。 部门。 自然目前，未来成功的学生将需要大量的培训 专业领域，尤其是在定量科学中（Bio，2010年）。 未成年人将使学生接触跨学科的科学研究，并特别强调增强 量化技能。 通过所有与生物医学相关的领域的教师。 改变NEIU学术课程的性质，以提高许多领域的学生技能 （（数学，实验室，研究和交流），以更好地为学生准备研究生院 更好地为学生做好准备，这些职业正在成为一些科学的信息 该计划所包含的学科：生物学，化学，心理学，物理学，数学， 计算机科学。 培训：2岁，大三和老年人。
