EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. The long term goal of the MARC U*STAR program at The University of New Mexico is to increase the number of underrepresented minority honor students obtaining the doctorate and entering careers in biomedical research. The immediate goal is to increase the competitiveness of our best minority students for graduate programs. The heart of this program is the opportunity for ten talented minority undergraduates in Biochemistry, Biology and Chemistry to receive intense research training in their junior and senior years. A pre-MARC Student Development component addresses problems that present major obstacles to the success of UNM students, including poor curriculum planning and inability to participate effectively in an electronic world. The emphasis on academic and career guidance will be continued as MARC students move through the program. During the first summer, they will begin a research project and participate in many group learning activities, capped by an end-of-summer student Research Symposium, at which all will present their work. During the subsequent two academic years, the students will continue their research projects and present their projects at a local and a regional or national meeting. It is expected that most will becomes co-authors on a scientific publication. In their first year as MARC scholars, the students will take a class entitled "Research Ethics" and a GRE preparation class. During their second year, students will take a small class that focuses on identifying an appropriate graduate program and developing a competitive application, and then apply to graduate school. As an added feature of the program, the students will spend one summer at another institution (typically their second summer), where they will carry out collaborative research that is related to their project. A strong independent evaluation component has been established, so that the efficacy of the program can be demonstrated. Continuation of this MARC U*STAR program will have enormous impact on a highly qualified group of minority students.

超出所提供的空间。新墨西哥大学MARC U*STAR项目的长期目标是增加少数族裔荣誉学生获得博士学位并进入生物医学研究领域的人数。当前的目标是提高我们最优秀的少数族裔学生在研究生项目中的竞争力。该项目的核心是为10名有才华的生物化学、生物和化学专业的少数民族本科生提供机会，让他们在大三和大四期间接受强化的研究训练。pre-MARC学生发展部分解决了新墨大学生成功的主要障碍，包括糟糕的课程规划和无法有效参与电子世界。随着MARC学生的学习，我们将继续强调学术和职业指导。在第一个夏天，他们将开始一个研究项目，并参加许多小组学习活动，最后是一个夏末的学生研究研讨会，在这个研讨会上，所有人都将展示他们的研究成果。在接下来的两个学年里，学生们将继续他们的研究项目，并在当地和地区或国家会议上展示他们的项目。预计大多数人将成为科学出版物的共同作者。在成为MARC学者的第一年，学生们将学习一门名为“研究伦理”的课程和一门GRE备考课程。在他们的第二年，学生将参加一个小班，重点是确定一个合适的研究生课程和开发一个有竞争力的应用程序，然后申请研究生院。作为该计划的一个附加功能，学生将在另一个机构度过一个夏天（通常是他们的第二个夏天），在那里他们将进行与他们的项目相关的合作研究。建立了一个强大的独立评估组件，从而可以证明该计划的有效性。MARC U*STAR项目的延续将对高素质的少数民族学生群体产生巨大影响。网站性能 ======================================== 节结束 ===========================================
