Summary The long-term goal of our ADAR Program is the increased diversity of MSTEM students that pursue graduate degrees and research careers in aging-related areas. For this, we propose to enhance the UC Davis ADAR Scholars Program, a comprehensive three-year program with two major components. The first is the one-year ADAR Program, which will support eight diverse sophomore students selected from the freshmen participating in our pre-ADAR program [the Biology Undergraduate Scholars Program]. This component is designed to enhance retention, foster academic excellence, and kindle interest and engagement in aging research; it involves course work, advising, and research experience. The second component, the ADAR-Honors Program (ADAR-HR), is a research-intensive two-year program designed to encourage and support eight diverse juniors and seniors to matriculate into aging-related graduate programs. ADAR-HR provides a two-year research-intensive experience, including one summer at another institution. It will promote student retention and academic excellence through activities that facilitate social and academic integration and scientific identity formation within a supportive peer group; it will engage students in research as well as in discussions of aging research topics, integrity in research, and experimental design. It will also provide them with career information, experience in proposal writing and oral and written scientific presentations, and guidance in the graduate school application process. To achieve these goals, ADAR-HR will have four main components: advising, research experience, professional development, and community activities that enhance science identity formation and provide important sources of social support. ADAR-HR has the following measurable objectives: (1) Four diverse juniors per year will be recruited into ADAR-HR; (2) Ninety percent of ADAR-HR students will graduate in an MSTEM field with a GPA ≥ 3.25; (3) ADAR-HR students will have increased expertise as student researchers with respect to understanding experimental design and data interpretation in aging-research areas; (4) ADAR-HR students will develop professional communication skills by presenting their research locally and nationally; (5) ADAR-HR students will develop awareness of graduate program application processes; (6) ADAR-HR students will develop scientific identity through storytelling and outreach activities; (7) The majority (>50%) of ADAR-HR students will matriculate into graduate programs involving aging- related research within two years of receiving their Bachelor's degree.

概括 我们ADAR计划的长期目标是购买的学生的多样性增加 与衰老相关地区的研究生学位和研究职业。为此，我们建议增强UC 戴维斯·阿达尔学者计划（Davis Adar Scholars）计划，一项全面的三年计划，拥有两个主要组成部分。这 首先是为期一年的ADAR计划，该计划将支持八名潜水员大二学生。 参加我们的阿达之前计划的新生[生物学本科学者计划]。这 组成部分旨在增强保留率，促进学术卓越和Kindle的兴趣和 参与衰老研究；它涉及课程工作，咨询和研究经验。第二个 组件，Adar-Honors计划（ADAR-HR），是一项研究密集型两年计划 鼓励和支持八名潜水员和老年人矩阵与衰老有关的毕业生 程序。 Adar-HR提供了两年的研究密集型体验，包括另一个夏天 机构。它将通过促进社会的活动来促进学生的保留和学术卓越 以及支持同伴小组内的学术整合和科学身份形成；它将参与 研究的学生以及有关老龄化研究主题，研究完整性以及讨论的学生 实验设计。它还将为他们提供职业信息，提案写作方面的经验以及 口头和书面科学演讲以及研究生院申请过程中的指导。到 实现这些目标，ADAR-HR将有四个主要组成部分：咨询，研究经验， 专业发展和社区活动，以增强科学身份形成并提供 社会支持的重要来源。 ADAR-HR具有以下可测量的目标：（1）四个潜水员 每年的大三学生将被招募到ADAR-HR； （2）百分之九十的ADAR-HR学生将毕业 GPA≥3.25的MSTEM场； （3）ADAR-HR学生作为学生的专业知识将增加 研究人员在了解老化研究中的实验设计和数据解释方面 区域； （4）ADAR-HR学生将通过介绍研究来发展专业的沟通技巧 本地和全国； （5）ADAR-HR学生将提高对研究生计划申请的认识 过程； （6）ADAR-HR学生将通过讲故事和宣传活动发展科学身份； （7）大多数（> 50％）的ADAR-HR学生将矩阵进入涉及衰老的研究生课程 获得学士学位的两年内相关研究。
