The proposed Florida International University (FIU) MARC U*STAR Plan is designed to address the national deficiency of diversity in the biomedical workforce. It will teach practical, career enhancing skills and addresses these in the context of often overlooked, underlying issues such as social capital and self-identity, to demonstrate biomedical research as a rewarding career path--providing life skills needed to succeed in this arena. FIU is a public, research institution (R1 Carnegie Classification Doctoral University - Highest Research Activity) located in Miami, Florida. It has an enrollment of 53,000 students (fall 2017), is designated an Hispanic Serving Institution (64% Hispanic), emphasizes research in its mission and includes health and diversity as strategic themes. The mission of the MARC U*STAR Program is to enhance the pool of UR students earning baccalaureate and Ph.D. degrees in biomedical research fields and ultimately to contribute to the diversification of the nation's scientific workforce. Therefore, our vision is to provide a structured training program to prepare high achieving UR students for Doctoral Programs in Biomedical research fields. We will achieve this by providing an authentic research experience, academic enhancements and skill development, as well as close mentoring and advising. The program provides motivated, honors undergraduate juniors and seniors from underrepresented groups with tools, skills, and a sense of belonging, that will allow each to successfully enter, excel in, and complete a biomedical or behavioral sciences Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. program. This will be accomplished by immersing each MARC U*STAR trainee in a supportive & stimulating research lab of an active researcher with a successful undergraduate mentoring record, who will develop the individual student's skills, and properly nurture and enhance the trainee's interest in science over a two-year period, culminating with an honors thesis. The MARC U*STAR program will provide a monthly stipend and partial tuition waiver, eliminating the need for trainees to seek outside employment and enable them to focus on their research projects and enrichment activities. The program will supplement the trainees' FIU academic year research experience with: personal advising, bi-weekly program meetings, professional & academic development workshops, technical skills workshops, travel to scientific meetings, scientific presentation venues, networking opportunities, leadership opportunities, community outreach events, and facilitate participation in an extramural summer research program. Six trainees will be selected each year from targeted departments including Biology, Chemistry, Psychology and Biomedical Engineering. Each year, the six seniors will serve as peer mentors to the six incoming juniors--a key element for building their network, enhancing their mentoring and building their self-identity as a scientist. FIU provides an excellent environment and opportunity to develop a significant number (24 over the 5-year funding period) of well rounded, underrepresented scientists for biomedical research careers.

拟议的佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）MARC U* 星星计划旨在解决国家 生物医学劳动力缺乏多样性。它将教授实用的，职业生涯增强技能和地址 这些往往被忽视的背景下，潜在的问题，如社会资本和自我认同， 证明生物医学研究是一个有价值的职业道路-提供成功所需的生活技能， 竞技场。FIU是一个公共的研究机构（R1卡内基分类博士大学-最高研究 活动）位于佛罗里达州迈阿密。它有53，000名学生的招生（2017年秋季），被指定为 西班牙裔服务机构（64%西班牙裔），强调其使命的研究，包括健康和 多样性作为战略主题。MARC U* 星星计划的使命是增强UR库 获得学士学位和博士学位的学生生物医学研究领域的学位，并最终有助于 国家科学劳动力的多样化。因此，我们的愿景是提供结构化的培训， 该计划旨在为生物医学研究领域的博士课程做好准备。我们将 通过提供真实的研究经验，学术提升和技能发展来实现这一目标， 以及密切的指导和建议。该计划提供积极的，荣誉的本科三年级学生， 来自代表性不足群体的老年人拥有工具、技能和归属感，这将使每个人都能 成功进入，擅长，并完成生物医学或行为科学博士学位或 医学博士/博士程序.这将通过让每个MARC U* 星星学员沉浸在支持和 一个积极的研究人员与成功的本科生辅导记录，谁将刺激研究实验室 发展个别学生的技能，并适当地培养和提高学员对科学的兴趣， 两年的时间，以荣誉论文结束。MARC U* 星星计划将提供每月津贴 以及减免部分学费，使学员无须再到外间工作， 专注于他们的研究项目和丰富活动。该计划将补充学员的 FIU学年研究经验：个人咨询，双周计划会议，专业和 学术发展讲习班、技术技能讲习班、参加科学会议的旅费、 演讲场地，网络机会，领导机会，社区外展活动，以及 促进参与校外暑期研究计划。每年将从下列人员中选出六名受训人员： 目标部门包括生物，化学，心理学和生物医学工程。每年都 六名高年级学生将担任六名即将入学的低年级学生的同伴导师--这是建立他们网络的关键因素， 加强他们的指导并建立他们作为科学家的自我认同。金融情报股提供了一个良好的环境， 和机会，以发展一个显着的数量（24在5年的资助期）， 代表性不足的科学家从事生物医学研究事业。
