Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research

超出所提供的空间。这项建议是继续提供资金。目前的U*STAR项目，通过提供实验室研究的机会和培训，解决了生物医学科学博士项目中少数民族代表性不足的问题。这项工作是通过将加州州立大学多明格斯山分校（CSUDH）的学生人数（约70%为少数民族）和教师与加州大学洛杉矶分校研究与教育研究所（REI）的教师和研究设施相结合来完成的。该计划的主要重点是在确定的教师的研究实验室中进行“实践”培训，并辅以一些支持性活动，课程的注册提供了科学行为的关键“基础”（即伦理，人类受试者，辐射安全等），以及在外部站点进行暑期研究体验的机会。该计划提供了许多丰富的活动，以确保“学生的成功”，并提高在博士课程中成功职业生涯的成就。与目标直接相关的是针对“prc-MARC”学生的发展活动，因为这些活动有助于扩大合格的U*STAR学生数量，并推动更多学生对继续接受科学教育感兴趣。这些活动侧重于个性化和个性化。项目教师对学生的关注通过学生积极参与研讨会，与访问科学家的会议，处理就业机会的研讨会，研究生院申请和夏季研究项目的选择，参加研究培训课程的精简版课程以及有针对性的社交聚会。实现提案目标的具体可衡量目标与这些活动相关，因为它们旨在增加符合项目资格的少数民族荣誉学生的数量，增加学生数量（通过“pre-MARC”活动），增加高中的招聘活动（外展）和增加毕业生的“后续”。CSUDH和REI在这项U*STAR提案中的合作努力代表了有效解决少数民族在科学领域的代表性问题所必需的努力，特别是在洛杉矶中南部社区。现有的CSUDH U*STAR项目已经成功地开始实现MARC目标，此次续签是对该项目继续进行的请求。网站性能 ======================================== 节结束 ===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. This proposal is to continue funding.; of the current U*STAR program, which addresses the under representation of minorities in Ph.D. programs in the biomedical sciences by providing exposure to, and training in, laboratory research. This effort is being accomplished by combining the student population (>70% minority) and faculty at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) with the faculty and research facilities at Harbor-UCLA Research and Education Institute (REI). The major emphasis of the program is the "hands-on" training in the research laboratories of identified faculty and is complemented by a number of supportive activities, the enrollment in a curriculumthat provides the critical "underpinnings" of the conduct of science (i.e. ethics, human subjects, radiation safety, etc.) plus the opportunity for summer research experience opportunitiesat external sites. This Program provides a number of enrichment activities to ensure "student success" and enhance achievement of successful careers in doctoral programs. Directly relevant to the objective arc the developmental activities directed toward the "prc-MARC" students, as these are instrumental in expanding the qualified U*STAR pool and providing a impetus for more students to have an interest in continuing their education in the sciences. These activities focus on individualized and pcrsonali/.cd attention to the students by the program faculty by the active participationof the students in seminars, meetings with visiting scientists, workshops dealing with career opportunities, graduate school applicationsand summer research program choices, enrollment in an abridged version of the research training curriculum course as well as targeted social gatherings. Specific measurable goals for achieving the objective of the proposal are correlated to these activitiessince they arc designed to increase the number of minority honor students who qualify for the program, increase the pool of the students (via "pre-MARC" activities),increase recruitment activities at high schools (outreach) and increase "follow-up"of graduates. The collaborative efforts of CSUDH and REI in this U*STAR proposal represent the type of effort that is essential to address effectively undcrrcprcsentation of minorities in science, specific to the South Central Los Angeles community. The existing CSUDH U*STAR Program has successfully began to accomplish the MARC objective and this renewal is a request to continue this Program.
