The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) proposes to co- sponsor with the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) the annual MARC/MBRS Biomedical Research Symposium beginning in the fall of 2001. ASM recognizes that channeling underrepresented students in research and science education is absolutely essential for developing a competent United States workforce capable of addressing the many societal, environmental, and health-care challenges of the future. ASM proposes a national symposium to 1) encourage undergraduate students to pursue advanced training and careers in the biomedical sciences, and 2) provide faculty mentors and advisors as well as other program leaders with resources for facilitating students' success. The specific aims of the symposium are to provide opportunities for: undergraduate students to share their research project data and demonstrate scientific expertise; undergraduate students and faculty advisers to be exposed to high quality, significant scientific research in the biomedical sciences as well as excellent role models and mentors; undergraduate students, faculty, and graduate program directors to develop professionally as biomedical scientists, advisers, educators, and leaders; and undergraduate students to learn about graduate programs and research fellowships in the biomedical sciences. The annual symposium will include a variety of forums including a poster session and oral presentation colloquium showcasing the best student posters; plenary and scientific sessions with nationally and internationally renowned scientists; professional development workshops; and an exhibition of graduate programs and fellowship opportunities. Graduate school deans, professional organization representatives, and foundation leaders will be invited to participate in sponsored satellite sessions and a graduate placement service beginning in years 2002 and 2003, respectively.

美国微生物学会（ASM）提议与国家普通医学科学研究所（NIGMS）共同主办自2001年秋季开始的年度MARC/MBRS生物医学研究研讨会。 ASM认识到，在研究和科学教育中引导代表性不足的学生对于培养能够应对未来许多社会，环境和卫生保健挑战的合格美国劳动力绝对至关重要。ASM建议举办一次全国性的研讨会，以1）鼓励本科生在生物医学科学领域进行高级培训和职业生涯，2）为教师导师和顾问以及其他项目负责人提供资源，以促进学生的成功。 研讨会的具体目的是提供机会：本科生分享他们的研究项目数据和展示科学专业知识;本科生和教师顾问接触高质量，生物医学科学的重要科学研究以及优秀的榜样和导师;本科生，教师和研究生项目主任专业发展为生物医学科学家，顾问，教育工作者和领导者;和本科生了解生物医学科学的研究生课程和研究奖学金。年度研讨会将包括各种论坛，包括海报会议和口头报告座谈会，展示最好的学生海报;与国内和国际知名科学家的全体会议和科学会议;专业发展研讨会;以及研究生课程和奖学金机会展览。 研究生院院长、专业组织代表和基金会领导人将分别从2002年和2003年开始应邀参加赞助的卫星会议和研究生安置服务。
