The primary purpose of the proposed program is to identify and prepare minority college students in the sciences and mathematics for careers at the graduate and professional levels. To this end, a Research Careers for Minority Students (RCMS) training group with emphasis in cell and molecular biology, organic and pharmacal chemistry, mathematics, physics and engineering has been established at Howard University. Details of the research program are shown in the body of the proposal. The program targets college juniors and seniors and high school teachers. Interfacing with ongoing pre-college science and mathematics programs (PEW/Rockefeller) and college programs (MARC/MBRS/Howard Hughes) will allow early identification and selection of highly competent trainees for the RCMS program. Based upon academic performance, letters of recommendation, and degree of motivation program trainees who are selected at the end of their sophomore year, will be offered a summer internship in laboratories at Howard University where they will be exposed to an intense research regimen in the field of their major. The summer internship should provide them guidance and skills needed to attract them into a high-quality research program during the academic year. Ten RCMS trainees will be identified in year one, and a total of 20 students will be carried by this program each succeeding year. During the academic year, RCMS trainees will enroll in an undergraduate research course (3 cr) where they will work directly with a faculty mentor on his/her research subspecialty.

该计划的主要目的是确定 让少数民族大学生在科学领域做好准备， 数学在研究生和专业的职业生涯 程度. 为此，少数民族研究职业 学生（RCMS）培训组，重点是细胞和 分子生物学，有机化学和药物化学， 数学、物理学和工程学已经建立在 霍华德大学。 研究计划的详细内容见 在提案的正文中。 该计划针对大学 大三大四和高中老师。 接口 与正在进行的大学预科科学和数学课程 (PEW/洛克菲勒）和大学课程（MARC/MBRS/霍华德 休斯）将允许早期识别和选择 RCMS计划的高素质受训人员。 基于 学习成绩、推荐信和学位 激励计划的学员谁是在年底选定的 他们的大二，将提供一个暑期实习， 在霍华德大学的实验室里， 在他们的专业领域进行密集的研究。 暑期实习应该为他们提供指导， 吸引他们参与高质量研究所需的技能 在学年中的计划。 10名农村合作医疗受训人员将 在第一年确定，共有20名学生将 该计划每年都在进行。 期间 学年，RCMS学员将在本科入学 研究课程（3cr），他们将直接与 导师在他/她的研究subspecialty。
