DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The established Indians into Research Careers (IRC) is a MARC U-STAR program at the University of Minnesota Duluth. This Competitive Renewal requests continued support for four scholars per year for a three year period. The program objective is to graduate 8 scholars with a BS degree and have at least 6 entering a graduate program in biomedical research. MARC scholars will receive academic advisement, peer mentoring, close faculty interactions and special curriculum to foster an interest in biomedical research. IRC has been integrated into a consortium of training programs that include the Bridges to the Baccalaureate and Doctoral Degree Programs. Trainees will be selected from the sophomores at UMD, or second year students from Bridge Partner Schools at Lake Superior College and Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College. Within the consortium are shared responsibilities from a Steering Committee to provide programmatic oversight and a Scholastic Committee to monitor student progress. The American Indian Learning Resource Center (AILRC), PD and Co-PD will provide academic advisement and graduate students from the Bridge Program will provide peer mentoring. The MARC scholars will participate in faculty directed hypothesis driven research beginning with the summer semester prior to their junior year. Research at external sites will be encouraged during the summer months between the students' junior and senior years. A Pre-MARC program is proposed to develop communication skills, enlighten students about health disparities and ignite an interest in biomedical research. The MARC curriculum will include a course in Critical Concepts to hone reasoning and develop learning strategies, a course in Responsible Conduct in Research, and Seminars in American Indian Health. Academic advisement is structured on three tiers: round table discussions, faculty consultations, and intervention through the AILRC.

描述（由申请人提供）：既定的印度人进入研究职业（IRC）是在明尼苏达大学杜卢斯的MARC U-STAR计划。这项竞争性续约要求在三年内每年继续支持四名学者。该计划的目标是毕业8个学者与学士学位，并有至少6个进入生物医学研究的研究生课程。MARC学者将获得学术奖励，同行指导，密切的教师互动和特殊课程，以培养对生物医学研究的兴趣。研究中心已被纳入一个培训方案联盟，其中包括学士学位和博士学位课程的桥梁。学员将从UMD的学生中挑选，或从上级湖学院和丰迪拉克部落和社区学院的桥梁合作学校挑选。在联盟内部，指导委员会和学术委员会分担责任，前者负责提供方案监督，后者负责监测学生的进展。美国印第安人学习资源中心（AILRC），PD和Co-PD将提供学术交流，桥梁项目的研究生将提供同伴指导。MARC学者将参加教师指导的假设驱动的研究，从大三之前的夏季学期开始。在学生大三和大四之间的夏季，将鼓励在外部地点进行研究。一个预MARC计划提出发展沟通技巧，启发学生对健康的差距，并点燃在生物医学研究的兴趣。MARC课程将包括一门关键概念课程，以磨练推理和制定学习策略，一门负责任的研究行为课程，以及美国印第安人健康研讨会。学术研讨分为三个层次：圆桌讨论，教师咨询和通过AILRC干预。
