Project Summary The mission of Wayne State University (WSU)—to create and advance knowledge, prepare a diverse student body to thrive, and positively impact local and global communities—is in line with the goals and vision for the proposed T34 program. Located in Detroit, Michigan, WSU is and has historically been a stabilizing institution in the city and region. WSU is committed to driving this growth, and over the last five years has recruited over 50 new faculty members in the sciences alone. New faculty are drawn to WSU for various reasons, including the diversity of the region, the exceptional facilities, and the success of our faculty, as evidenced in part by a 30% increase in federal funding since 2014. WSU is well-positioned to request continued support for its transition from a successful R25 program to a T34 program, at the level of 20 undergraduate students per year. The goal of the WSU program is to provide targeted training and mentoring that is individualized to meet the needs of a diverse body of graduate students to facilitate successful completion of B.S. degrees and transition to Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. programs after graduation. Ultimately, these students will develop careers in the biomedical sciences, and will go on to serve as mentors to future generations. Trainees will be selected at the end of their freshman year for participation in a pre-MARC year during their sophomore year. At the end of the pre-MARC year, students will be selected for participation in the MARC program that will last for two years for each student. Participation in year-round research experiences, starting between the sophomore and junior years, will be a part of the program. As with the R25 that is being replaced, the T34 program will focus on developing and enhancing academic skills in addition to providing access to research experiences. Students in the program will be part of our learning community, and remain active throughout their entire training at WSU, with enhanced opportunities for teaching and mentoring. Specifically, we aim to provide (1) MARC students with a structured learning community designed to facilitate and enhance professional bonds that will enable them to learn and develop skills necessary to be successful in future biomedical careers; (2) mentored research experiences coupled with programs and experiences that will enhance the academic program success of MARC students; and (3) all MARC students with a clear structure for transitioning from undergraduate training to graduate school and biomedical careers. These activities are intended to provide opportunities for student trainees to develop skills in basic college proficiencies, presentation, teaching, and mentoring that will not only maintain their focus on career goals, but also develop professional skills that they will use in their future careers. We propose to build on the successes of our long-established R25 program with modifications based on an evolving demographic and social culture of our students. The proposed program will provide academic development and research experience at a large, urban, research institution with an extremely diverse student population to a more personal level for our trainees.

项目摘要 韦恩州立大学(WSU)的使命-创造和发展知识，培养多样化的学生 机构蓬勃发展，并对当地和全球社区产生积极影响-符合 建议的T34计划。WSU位于密歇根州底特律，在历史上一直是一个稳定的机构 在城市和地区。威斯康星州立大学致力于推动这一增长，在过去五年中，已招聘了超过 仅自然科学领域就有50名新教职员工。威斯康星州立大学吸引新教师的原因有很多，包括 该地区的多样性，卓越的设施，以及我们教员的成功，部分证明了这一点 自2014年以来，联邦资金增加了30%。WSU处于有利地位，可以请求继续支持其 从成功的R25计划过渡到T34计划，每个计划有20名本科生 年。威斯康星州立大学计划的目标是提供有针对性的培训和指导，以满足 不同的研究生群体的需求，以促进成功地完成理科学士学位和 毕业后过渡到博士和医学博士/博士课程。最终，这些学生将在 生物医学科学，并将继续充当子孙后代的导师。受训人员将在 大一结束，在大二期间参加Marc之前的一年。在…的末尾 在MARC预科学年，学生将被选中参加为期两年的MARC项目 对每个学生来说。从二年级到三年级开始，参加全年的研究体验 几年，将是该计划的一部分。与正在更换的R25一样，T34计划将重点放在 除了提供获取研究经验的途径外，还发展和提高学术技能。学生在 该计划将成为我们学习社区的一部分，并在他们在西德克萨斯大学的整个培训过程中保持活跃， 有更多的教学和指导机会。具体地说，我们的目标是提供(1)MARC学生 拥有一个结构化的学习社区，旨在促进和加强专业纽带，从而 让他们学习和发展在未来的生物医学事业中取得成功所需的技能；(2)指导 研究经验与计划和经验相结合，将加强学术计划 MARC学生的成功；以及(3)所有MARC学生都有明确的过渡结构 从本科生培养到研究生和生物医学职业。这些活动旨在提供 学生实习生有机会发展基本的大学能力、演讲、教学和 这样的指导不仅会保持他们对职业目标的关注，还会发展他们的专业技能 将在他们未来的职业生涯中使用。我们建议在我们长期建立的R25计划的成功基础上，通过 根据学生不断变化的人口统计和社会文化进行修改。拟议的计划将 在大型城市研究机构提供学术发展和研究经验 非常多样化的学生群体，为我们的学员提供更个人化的水平。
