Project Summary The University of California Riverside (UCR) is one of the most diverse campuses in the nation and is located in one of the most rapidly growing and diverse regions of the U.S. Most undergraduate students at UCR come from this region. Thus, there is a broad base of students from which to select and promote interest in a research career biomedically-related sciences. The main goal of the MARC U-STAR Program at UCR is to increase the number of underrepresented (UR) students pursuing PhD degrees and research careers in the biomedically-related sciences. This training grant provides a summer Pre-MARC Development Program (9-10 students/year) to increase the eligible pool of students for the 2-year Trainee Research Program (15 positions/year). The Objectives of the Program are: (1) Increase the number of UCR minority students majoring in the sciences who are qualified to become MARC U-STAR Trainees through outreach to local high schools and community colleges. (2) Increase the number of qualified Honors students who apply to the MARC Program by using freshman courses and discovery seminars, by synergizing with Honors and existing Minority programs on campus, and by engaging students in Pre-MARC undergraduate research before their sophomore year and stimulating their interest in a biomedical research career. (3) The core of the program is preparing the MARC Trainees for graduate studies in highly competitive research institutions. We will achieve this by immersing MARC Trainees in intensive cutting-edge research in laboratories of Faculty Mentors on campus during the academic year and in one other off-campus laboratory at a high-caliber research institution during one summer; we will also provide specific classes that will prepare the Trainees to think critically, to make scientific oral presentations, and to write scientific papers and research proposals. Guidance in applying to graduate programs will be provided. This will provide a solid basis for the trainees to enter and succeed in the most competitive graduate programs in the U.S. For the next 5-year period (2018-2023) we propose to train about 45 MARC students and to reach near 80% of graduated UCR Trainees entering high quality PhD or MD/PhD programs in the biomedical sciences. Relevance: This MARC U-STAR training grant will not only contribute to increase the number of Honors UR undergraduates who enter PhD Programs and continue on to scientific research careers and leadership positions, but should also have ripple effects that extend beyond this primary goal. The MARC Scholars will serve as role models in society and in the scientific community to inspire new generations and help break down discriminatory barriers.

项目摘要 加州大学滨江（UCR）是美国最多样化的校园之一 位于美国发展最迅速和最多样化的地区之一。 加州大学的本科生来自这个地区。因此，学生基础广泛 从中选择和促进对生物医学相关科学研究事业的兴趣。 UCR的MARC U-STAR计划的主要目标是增加 代表性不足（UR）的学生在攻读博士学位和研究职业， 与生物医学相关的科学。该培训补助金提供夏季MARC前开发 计划（9-10名学生/年），以增加2年培训生的合格学生人数 研究计划（15个职位/年）。该方案的目标是：（1）增加 有资格成为MARC的UCR少数民族学生人数 U-STAR培训人员通过推广到当地高中和社区大学。(2)增加 通过使用新生申请MARC计划的合格荣誉学生人数 课程和发现研讨会，通过协同与荣誉和现有的少数民族计划， 校园，并通过从事学生在前MARC本科研究之前， 二年级，激发他们对生物医学研究事业的兴趣。(3)的核心 该计划正在为MARC学员在竞争激烈的研究中进行研究生学习做准备 机构职能体系我们将通过让MARC学员沉浸在密集的前沿知识中来实现这一目标。 研究在校园教师导师的实验室在学年和一个 其他校外实验室在一个高素质的研究机构在一个夏天;我们将 还提供具体的课程，将准备学员批判性地思考，使科学 口头报告，并撰写科学论文和研究建议。应用指南 将提供研究生课程。这将为学员进入提供坚实的基础 并在美国最具竞争力的研究生课程中取得成功。 （2018-2023）我们计划培养约45名MARC学生，达到近80%的毕业生 UCR培训生进入高质量的博士或MD/博士课程在生物医学科学。 相关性：MARC U-STAR培训补助金不仅有助于增加 进入博士课程并继续进行科学研究的荣誉UR本科生人数 研究事业和领导职位，但也应该有涟漪效应，扩大 超越这个首要目标。MARC学者将成为社会和 科学界鼓励新一代，帮助打破歧视性障碍。
