DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Northern Arizona University's MARC U*STAR Program proposes to support 10 under-represented undergraduate students per year. Our MARC Program will build on the foundation and experience of the successful MSD Program, which it has administered since 1998. The goal of the MARC U*STAR Program is to increase the pool of talented undergraduate minority students who are: 1) well prepared academically; 2) have research experience and competence; and 3) are motivated to apply for and gain acceptance into graduate programs leading to the Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. The single most important measurable objective of the MARC U*STAR program is to increase the rates of application for graduate programs leading to doctoral degrees in the biomedical sciences. Establishment of a MARC U*STAR Program will significantly strengthen this effort. Our ambitious goal for the MARC U*STAR Program is to increase the percentage of students who apply to graduate programs from 33 to 50 percent . We would also hope to maintain a 100 percent acceptance rate for those students who do apply. In pursuing our objectives we propose two components whose goal is to increase the success rate of talented under-represented undergraduate students. These components will build upon our success with the MSD Program: 1) Academic Enrichment and 2) Research Participation. Academic enrichment for MARC fellows will involve: 1) a one-day orientation to the program; 2) development and implementation of new courses ("Ethics in Research" and "Introduction to Biomedical Research"); 3) development and implementation of workshops ("Biomedical Instrumentation" and "Use of Animals in Biomedical Research"); 4) a Biomedical Sciences Seminar Series; and 5) preparation for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Research Participation through intramural and extramural research training will provide extensive research experience. We expect that these MARC activities will increase the academic achievement of minority students science. We strongly feel that a solid science curriculum combined with quality research can reinforce and strengthen the student's determination to pursue graduate training leading to a Ph.D. in a biomedically related science.

描述（由申请人提供）：北亚利桑那大学的 MARC U*STAR 该计划提议支持每名 10 名代表性不足的本科生 年。我们的 MARC 计划将建立在 成功的 MSD 计划，自 1998 年以来一直在管理。该计划的目标 MARC U*STAR 计划旨在增加少数民族本科人才的储备 符合以下条件的学生： 1) 学术上做好充分准备； 2）有研究经验 和能力； 3）有动力申请并获得录取 获得博士学位的研究生课程或医学博士/博士 MARC U*STAR 计划最重要的一个可衡量目标是 提高攻读博士学位的研究生课程的申请率 生物医学科学学位。 MARC U*STAR 计划的建立将 显着加强这一努力。我们对 MARC U*STAR 的宏伟目标 该计划旨在提高申请研究生的学生比例 计划从 33% 增加到 50%。我们也希望保持100%的 那些申请的学生的录取率。 为了实现我们的目标，我们提出了两个组成部分，其目标是增加 才华横溢、代表性不足的本科生的成功率。这些 组成部分将建立在我们 MSD 计划的成功之上： 1) 学术 丰富和 2) 研究参与。 MARC 研究员的学术充实 将包括： 1) 为期一天的项目介绍； 2）开发和 实施新课程（“研究伦理”和“概论”） 生物医学研究”）；3）研讨会的开发和实施 （“生物医学仪器”和“生物医学研究中动物的使用”）； 4） 生物医学科学研讨会系列； 5）研究生的准备 记录考试（GRE）。通过校内和 校外研究培训将提供丰富的研究经验。 我们期望这些 MARC 活动将提高学生的学术成就 少数民族学生科学。我们强烈认为扎实的科学课程 与高质量的研究相结合可以加强和加强学生的 决心继续研究生培训并获得博士学位。在生物医学上 相关科学。
