MARC U-STAR Leaders in Science Program - Administrative Supplement

摘要 这一行政补充的目标是准备干学生从事有意义的研究 在莫尔豪斯学院读本科的时候这将通过（1） 开发基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURES）模块， 生物学和化学课程，（2）整合什么是研究？秋季工作坊介绍 生物和化学课程，（3）培训教师，以有效地指导本科研究生。 拟议的活动将支持目前正在进行的两个现有TWD计划的工作， 莫尔豪斯学院，MARC U-STAR科学领导者（T34 GM 096954）和卓越崛起（5 R25 GM 070514），特别是通过加强STEM课程。约490名学生将 受此项目的影响，这代表了22%的莫尔豪斯学生和76%的干 少校预期这些活动将使更多的潜在申请人参加 本科研究培训计划，更好地准备我们的学生更具竞争力， 暑期研究经验和研究生课程在生物医学科学。许多拟议的 这些活动以前是作为MARC前活动规划的。然而，由于资金削减，前MARC 活动没有执行。此外，COVID-19疫情的经济影响 导致莫尔豪斯学院的教学量从每学期三门课程增加到四门课程 这使得没有资金的研究培训几乎没有空间。

ABSTRACT The goal of this administrative supplement is to prepare STEM students to engage in meaningful research during their undergraduate matriculation at Morehouse College. This will be accomplished by (1) developing Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) modules for the introductory biology and chemistry courses, (2) integrating a What is Research? workshop into the fall introductory biology and chemistry courses, (3) training faculty to effectively mentor undergraduate research students. The proposed activities will support the work currently being done in the two existing TWD programs at Morehouse College, the MARC U-STAR Leaders in Science (T34 GM096954) and RISE to Excellence (5 R25 GM070514), specifically by enhancing the STEM curriculum. Approximately 490 students will be impacted by this project, which represents 22% of the Morehouse student body and 76% of the STEM majors. The expectation is that these activities will result in a deeper pool of potential applicants for the undergraduate research training programs and better prepare our students to be more competitive for summer research experiences and graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. Many of the proposed activities were previously planned as pre-MARC activities. However, due to funding cuts, the pre-MARC activities were not implemented. Furthermore, the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in Morehouse College increasing its teaching load from three courses per semester to four courses per semester, leaving little room for unfunded research training.
