The proposed MARC U*STAR Program represents a continuation of the efforts by St. Mary's University to become a significant producer of underrepresented minority biomedical research scientists. The institutional long-term goal for the Program is to increase the number of underrepresented minority students majoring in biology, chemistry/biochemistry, biophysics, mathematics, and engineering, who enter and complete doctoral research programs in the biomedical sciences. In order to achieve this goal, the following specific aims have been established for the proposed funding period: (1) Increase participation in MARC activities by all student students from MARC departments; (2) Engage Freshman and Sophomores across the participating departments in a comprehensive PreMARC program; (3) Ensure continued success of existing training program by implementing academic enhancements, providing research training and guided discovery, and developing professional skills; and (4) Execute a rigorous evaluation effort to optimize the existing program and determine effective strategies that will effect and disseminate a model for institutionalization of our very successful training program. Proposed activities include providing trainees with a rigorous science curriculum, performing academic year research, arranging summer research experiences at research- intensive institutions for trainees, conducting a biomedical research workshop and seminar series, and arranging trainee attendance at scientific meetings. Ten trainees per year are expected to be appointed to two-year appointments, beginning their junior year. Intended trainee outcomes include: improved reflective reading, critical thinking, and technical writing skills; improved communication and disciplinary socialization skills; increased appreciation for mentorship (both as a mentee and as a mentor to other students) and for service to the community; enhanced understanding of scientific research and the rigors of graduate school; and increased self-efficacy and sense of belonging – the culmination of which will help them to become more competitive in gaining acceptance into, and completing Ph.D.-granting programs in the biomedical sciences.Students participating in this training program will be qualified to pursue doctoral studies in chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, cell and molecular biology, physiology, microbiology, epidemiology, and other biomedical sciences.

拟议的MARC U* 星星计划代表了圣玛丽的努力的延续 大学将成为代表性不足的少数民族生物医学研究的重要生产者 科学家该方案的机构长期目标是增加 生物学、化学/生物化学、生物物理学、 数学，工程，谁进入并完成博士研究计划，在 生物医学科学为了实现这一目标， （1）增加所有人对MARC活动的参与 学生从MARC部门的学生;（2）从事新生和大二学生在整个 参与全面PreMARC计划的部门;（3）确保持续 通过实施学术改进， 研究培训和指导发现，以及发展专业技能;以及（4）执行一项 严格的评估工作，以优化现有计划并确定有效的策略 这将影响和传播一种模式，使我们非常成功的培训制度化， 程序.拟议的活动包括为受训人员提供严格的科学课程， 进行学年研究，安排暑期研究经验，研究- 为受训人员开办密集型机构，举办生物医学研究讲习班和研讨会 系列，并安排受训人员参加科学会议。每年10名受训人员， 预计将被任命为两年的任用，开始他们的大三。预期受训人员 成果包括：提高反思性阅读、批判性思维和技术写作技能; 提高沟通和纪律社会化技能; 导师（既作为学员，也作为其他学生的导师）和服务， 社区;加强对科学研究和研究生院严格性的理解; 提高自我效能感和归属感-其高潮将帮助他们 在获得博士学位和完成博士学位方面更具竞争力-授予程序 在生物医学科学。参加这个培训计划的学生将有资格 攻读化学、生物化学、生物物理学、细胞和分子生物学博士学位， 生理学、微生物学、流行病学和其他生物医学科学。
