The overall objectives of the proposed M.B.R.S. Program at St. John's University are to (1)increase the participation in biomedical research by undergraduate and graduate students at St. John's who are members of racial and ethnic groups that are presently underrepresented in the profession, and (2) increase the numbers of these students who choose biomedical research as a career. These objectives will be achieved by: * Recruiting eligible undergraduate students from the departments of Biological Sciences, Psychology, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and providing financial support to enable them to participate fully in ongoing, extra-murally funded research with high biomedical relevance; * Exposing minority undergraduate science students to MBRS graduate student role models as teaching assistants in entry-level courses; * Supporting eligible M.S. and Ph.D. students to continue their studies and research in productive, funded laboratories without the distraction of the more extensive teaching duties normally associated with graduate assistantships and fellowships; * Bringing minority science students into contact with senior scientists from minority groups who have achieved the career objectives of the MBRS program, through participation in a seminar/workshop program; * Engaging minority undergraduate and graduate students in the excitement of the biomedical research community by supporting their travel to national scientific meetings, and fostering their early active participation in this community by presenting and publishing their results; * Increasing the numbers of minority science majors at St. John's at all levels by linking the MBRS program to ongoing programs such as MHSSRAP, STEP and C-STEP. * Providing minority undergraduate and graduate students with the tools needed to communicate successfully with the larger scientific community through a research-in-progress/workshop program.

圣约翰大学拟议的M.B.R.S.项目的总体目标 大学将(1)通过以下方式增加对生物医学研究的参与 圣约翰大学本科生和研究生，他们是 目前在美国代表性不足的种族和民族 职业，以及(2)增加这些学生的选择数量 以生物医学研究为职业。这些目标将通过以下方式实现： *从以下部门招收符合条件的本科生 生物科学、心理学和药学，以及 提供财政支持，使他们能够充分参与 正在进行的、具有高度生物医学相关性的外部资助研究； *让少数族裔本科生接触MBR毕业生 在入门课程中充当助教的学生榜样； *支持符合条件的硕士和博士生继续深造 在生产性的、有资金支持的实验室进行研究，而不会分心 通常与毕业生相关的更广泛的教学职责 助学金和研究金； *让少数族裔理科学生接触资深科学家 来自少数群体，他们已经实现了MBR的职业目标 方案，通过参加研讨会/讲习班方案； *让少数族裔本科生和研究生兴奋起来 通过支持他们前往生物医学研究社区 国家科学会议，并培养他们的早期积极性 通过展示和发布他们的作品参与这个社区 结果： *增加圣约翰大学理科专业的少数族裔学生数量 通过将MBRS计划与正在进行的计划，如MHSSRAP， 阶梯和C阶梯。 *为少数族裔本科生和研究生提供工具 需要成功地与更大的科学界进行沟通 通过一个正在进行的研究/研讨会计划。
