UC Riverside MARC U* Star Undergraduate Research Program

描述（由申请人提供）：位于滨江的加州大学是最多样化的校园之一，位于美国发展最迅速和最多样化的地区之一。UCR的大部分本科生都来自这个地区。因此，有一个广泛的学生基础，从中选择和促进对生物医学相关科学和科学研究事业的兴趣。加州滨江大学的MARC U* 项目的总体目标是增加攻读博士学位的本科少数民族学生的数量。学位和研究生涯在生物医学相关的科学。MARC U* 计划的可衡量目标是增加少数民族学生进入博士学位的人数。课程在毕业三年内高达100%。总体机构目标是促进本科生研究，并从加州大学伯克利分校培养大量妇女和代表性不足的少数民族科学家。该补助金包括一个MARC前发展计划，以增加合格的受训人员库。MARC U* 培训补助金的目标如下：1）通过将加州大学河滨分校低年级少数民族科学专业学生的GPA从16%提高到25%或更高，从而增加有资格成为MARC U* 学员的少数民族学生的人数; 2）增加申请MARC U* 培训计划的合格学生人数，将申请MARC U* 培训计划的合格少数民族学生人数从平均7人增加到至少14人; 3）准备MARC U* 学员成为有竞争力的录取和成功的研究生院通过实现一个稳定的状态，其中高达100%的学员将有竞争力的录取到博士课程作为衡量GRE，GPA和研究经验; 4）鼓励MARC U* 学员申请并从博士课程毕业，增加高达100%的MARC U* 学员申请并被博士研究项目录取。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California at Riverside is one of the most diverse campuses and is located in one of the most rapidly growing and diverse regions of the United States. Most of the undergraduate students at UCR come from this region. Thus there is a broad base of students from which to select and promote interest in the biomedically-related sciences and a research career in the sciences. The Overall Goal of the MARC U* Program at the University of California Riverside is to increase the number of undergraduate minority students pursuing a Ph.D. degree and a research career in the biomedically-related sciences. The Measurable Objective of the MARC U* Program is to increase the number of minority students going into Ph.D. Programs by up to 100% within three years of graduation. The Overall Institutional Goal is to promote undergraduate research and to produce a large number of women and under-represented minority scientists from UCR. This grant includes a pre-MARC Development Program to increase the eligible pool of Trainees. The goals of the MARC U* Training grant are the following: 1} to increase the pool of minority students eligible to become MARC U* trainees by increasing the fraction of lower division minority science majors at UCR attaining a GPA of 3.0 by 25% or higher in Introductory Biology by 25% from a basis of 16%; 2) increase the number of qualified students applying to the MARC U* Training Program by doubling the number of qualified minority students who apply to the MARC U* Training Program from an average of 7 to at least 14; 3) prepare MARC U* Trainees to become competitive for admission to and success in graduate school by achieving a steady state wherein up to 100% of the Trainees will be competitive for admission into a PhD program as measured by GRE, GPA and research experience; 4} encourage MARC U* Trainees to apply to and graduate from PhD programs by increasing up to 100% MARC U* Trainees who apply to and are accepted into PhD research programs.
