We propose to increase the number of academically competitive SFSU MARC-U*STAR underrepresented minority undergraduates entering and completing Ph.D. programs in the basic biomedical sciences. Each year we will introduce 20 Pre-MARC students through sophomore colloquia to Frontiers in Science and Writing in Science in anticipation of their entry into the Junior MARC (or Junior RISE). We will prepare 24 highly qualified underrepresented minorityjunior/senior students in a rigorous science curriculum and provide them with high quality and stimulating research experiences. Our MARC-U*STAR Honors program consists of five major components: 1) Improve science literacy of our students by providing supplemental writing instruction within the discipline; 2) a summer entry intramural research experience that includes scholarly activities; 3) a two-year academic-year curriculum highlighting an Honors course in Genetics, Chemistry or Computing, four semesters of Honors Colloquia, four semesters of biomedical science & Minority Speakers seminars, and four semesters of independent research; 4) extramural summer research at a major research institution; and 5) graduate school placement activities. All MARC trainees will be encouraged to present their research results at scientific meetings and injournal publications. They will also receive preparation for the GRE exam and extensive training in responsible conduct in research. For their summer research experience, each trainee will choose a project that is related to the ongoing research efforts of a MARC faculty mentor. Our objective is to provide the trainees an integrated research experience that mirrors what they will experience in graduate school, by making them part of the preceptor's research team. For their extramural research experience, MARC students will be placed in top research institutions located across the United States. The program director and MARC Honors Advisor will be responsible for the administration of the program; SFSU MARC program policy will be developed by a nine-member Steering Committee. Recruitment, advisement, placement in extramural internships and tracking of MARC-U*STAR trainees will be the joint responsibility of the MARC faculty, MARC steering committee, and administrative team. Records will be maintained that will allow us to carefully monitor each trainee's progress at SFSU, and document their success in their respective Ph.D. programs, and in their biomedical research careers. The MARC-U*STAR program will be evaluated by Peterfreund Associates in conjunction with the other student support programs administered by the Student Enrichment Opportunities (SEO) office.

我们建议增加代表性不足的具有学术竞争力的 SFSU MARC-U*STAR 的数量 少数民族本科生进入并完成博士学位。基础生物医学科学项目。每个 今年我们将通过二年级座谈会向 20 名 Pre-MARC 学生介绍科学前沿和 撰写《科学》文章，期待进入 Junior MARC（或 Junior RISE）。我们将准备24 高素质的、代表性不足的少数族裔初中/高年级学生接受严格的科学课程，以及 为他们提供高质量和刺激的研究经验。我们的 MARC-U*STAR 荣誉计划 包括五个主要部分： 1）通过提供补充材料来提高学生的科学素养 撰写学科内的指导； 2）暑期入学校内研究经历，包括 学术活动； 3）为期两年的学年课程，重点是遗传学荣誉课程， 化学或计算机、四个学期的荣誉座谈会、四个学期的生物医学科学和 少数族裔演讲者研讨会和四个学期的独立研究； 4）暑期校外研究 在主要研究机构； 5）研究生院安置活动。所有 MARC 学员将 鼓励在科学会议和期刊出版物上展示他们的研究成果。他们还将 接受 GRE 考试准备和负责任的研究行为的广泛培训。为了他们的 暑期研究经历，每位学员都会选择一个与正在进行的研究相关的项目 MARC 教师导师的努力。我们的目标是为学员提供综合的研究经验 让他们成为导师研究的一部分，这反映了他们在研究生院的经历 团队。凭借校外研究经验，MARC 学生将被安置在顶尖研究机构 位于美国各地。项目总监和 MARC 荣誉顾问将负责 计划的管理； SFSU MARC 计划政策将由九名成员组成的指导委员会制定 委员会。 MARC-U*STAR 的招聘、建议、校外实习安排和跟踪 学员将由 MARC 教师、MARC 指导委员会和行政人员共同负责 团队。我们将保留记录，以便我们能够仔细监控每位学员在 SFSU 的进度，并且 在各自的博士学位中记录了他们的成功。计划以及他们的生物医学研究生涯。这 MARC-U*STAR 项目将由 Peterfreund Associates 与其他学生一起评估 由学生丰富机会 (SEO) 办公室管理的支持计划。
