项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY As the United States becomes more diverse, it is imperative that institutions of higher education accelerate their efforts to ensure equity in the number of doctoral degrees awarded to students who are members of underrepresented (UR) groups. The University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver) is committed to this goal, and uniquely situated culturally and geographically to meet this need. The CU Denver campus is consolidated with the Anschutz Medical Campus (Anschutz) and, together, is classified as a “Doctoral University: Higher Research Activity”, with more than $400 million in annual sponsored research funding. As such, CU Denver is the only urban public research university in the State of Colorado, and it has the most diverse student body of any University of Colorado campus. In 2016, at least 34% of entering freshmen identified as underrepresented minority (URM) students and at least 57% as students of color. CU Denver was awarded its first MARC U-STAR award on May 22, 2013 (NIGMS T34 GM096958; 2013-2018), and is one of only two in the state. This competing renewal expands the successful initial development of the CU Denver MARC U-STAR program in several important ways. First, it broadens the focus of the first award (supporting students in the biomedical- oriented behavioral sciences) to the biomedical sciences more broadly by providing 24-month support to 40 additional rising junior undergraduates (eight new scholars per year) majoring in Integrative Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, and Public Health. Second, it expands and further institutionalizes a series of successful undergraduate Behavioral and Biomedical Research training courses, developed for the MARC program and taken by all MARC scholars, to accompany and facilitate their authentic research experiences. Third, it leverages and supports an institutionally-funded pre-MARC “U-RISE” program, developed by the principal investigators and program staff, to identify and support freshman, sophomore, and transfer students with authentic research experiences that engage early interests in research careers. The CU Denver MARC program complements and extends other training programs at CU Denver and Anschutz, expanding an institutional culture that supports the success of UR students and their entrance into doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. The new efforts described here, focused on expanding our initial successful work with recruitment and training of MARC scholars from the Psychology Department, and building the base of students interested in these opportunities, are complemented by a rigorous, external program evaluation that continuously assesses the effectiveness and relevance of our program activities, and includes intentional outcomes in program optimization and scholarly dissemination. The MARC program enjoys strong institutional support and has already helped transform the climate of diversity and inclusion at CU Denver. These efforts, together with an outstanding research environment and culture of support for diversity and inclusion, will help the CU Denver MARC U-STAR program continue to meet the overarching MARC program goal that 90% of supported students graduate with a STEM degree and at least 60% will matriculate into Ph.D. (or combined M.D./Ph.D.) programs in the biomedical sciences with a completion rate of at least 80%.

项目摘要随着美国变得越来越多的潜水员，高等教育机构必须加速他们的努力确保授予代表性不足（UR）小组成员的学生的博士学位数量的公平性。科罗拉多大学丹佛分校（CU丹佛）致力于这一目标，并在文化上独特地定位从地理上满足这种需求。 CU丹佛校园与Anschutz Medical Campus（Anschutz）合并而且，共同被归类为“博士大学：更高的研究活动”，年度超过4亿美元赞助研究资金。因此，Cu Denver是科罗拉多州唯一的城市公共研究大学，它拥有科罗拉多大学任何校园中最多样化的学生团体。 2016年，至少有34％的进入新生被确定为代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生，至少为57％的有色学生。 Cu丹佛是 2013年5月22日获得了首个MARC U明星奖（Nigms T34 GM096958; 2013-2018），是仅有的两个在州。这种竞争的更新扩大了CU Denver Marc U-Star的成功初步发展以几种重要的方式进行程序。首先，它扩大了第一个奖项的重点（支持生物医学的学生 - 通过为40个额外的24个月提供支持，更广泛地向生物医学科学提供定向的行为科学）综合生物学，化学，心理学和公共卫生。其次，它扩大并进一步制度化了一系列成功的本科行为和生物医学研究培训课程，为MARC计划开发，并由所有MARC学者开发，以协助并促进他们真实的研究经验。第三，它利用并支持由机构资助的预资助由主要调查员和计划人员开发的“ U-Rise”计划，以识别和支持新生，大二学生，并以真实的研究经验转移学生，从而吸引了研究职业的早期兴趣。 Cu Denver Marc计划完成，并扩展了Cu Denver和Anschutz的其他培训计划，扩大了支持您的学生及其进入生物医学博士课程的成功的机构文化科学。这里描述的新工作重点是扩大我们在招聘和培训中的最初成功工作来自心理学系的Marc学者，并建立对这些机会感兴趣的学生的基础由严格的外部计划评估完成，该评估继续评估有效性和相关性我们的计划活动，包括计划优化和科学传播的有意结果。 MARC计划享有强大的机构支持，并且已经帮助改变了多样性的气候和在Cu丹佛包含。这些努力，以及杰出的研究环境和支持文化多样性和包容性将帮助CU丹佛Marc U-Star计划继续满足总体MARC 计划的目标是90％的支持学生具有STEM学位和至少60％的毕业生，将归入博士学位。（或合并的M.D./ph.d。）生物医学科学的计划，完成率至少为80％。
