DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal application that seeks to continue the MARC-U*STAR program at SUNY College at Old Westbury. The overall goal of the program is to increase the number and quality of underrepresented minority students who will seek careers in biomedical research. The rationale is that there continues to be a shortage of minorities among biomedical scientists and in training programs leading to doctoral degrees in the biomedical sciences. Further, while Old Westbury has had both research and training programs in place for many years that address this problem, prior to this program biomedical training activities were focused in the relatively limited area of the neurosciences. The program therefore has sought to both increase training opportunities for underrepresented minority students and to diversify them to include other disciplines relevant to the biomedical sciences. This renewal application seeks to continue these activities. Specifically we propose to continue the U*STAR honors program which is designed to achieve the following specific and measurable objectives: (1) To increase by approximately 33% the number of MARC students per year participating in summer research at major research-intensive institutions. (2) To broaden the range of available on-campus training experiences to include at least three new biomedical sciences sub-disciplines. (3) To double the four-year total of underrepresented minority chemistry graduates who will pursue Ph.D. degrees. (4) To increase the number of underrepresented minority biology graduates who will pursue Ph.D. degrees to at least 2 per year.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个续期申请，旨在继续在纽约州立大学旧韦斯特伯里的MARC-U* 星星计划。该计划的总体目标是增加寻求生物医学研究职业的代表性不足的少数族裔学生的数量和质量。其理由是，生物医学科学家和生物医学博士学位培训方案中仍然缺乏少数群体。此外，虽然老韦斯特伯里多年来一直有研究和培训计划来解决这个问题，但在此之前，生物医学培训活动集中在相对有限的神经科学领域。因此，该方案寻求增加代表性不足的少数民族学生的培训机会，并使其多样化，包括与生物医学科学相关的其他学科。此次更新申请旨在继续开展这些活动。具体来说，我们建议继续U* 星星荣誉计划，旨在实现以下具体和可衡量的目标：（1）每年增加约33%的MARC学生参加夏季研究在主要的研究密集型机构的数量。(2)扩大现有的校园培训经验的范围，包括至少三个新的生物医学科学分支学科。(3)将攻读博士学位的少数民族化学毕业生的四年总数增加一倍。度(4)增加少数民族生物学毕业生攻读博士学位的人数。每年至少2度。
