DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the Cal State Fullerton MARC U*STAR Program will be to recruit and prepare promising minority life science students for graduate schools and research careers in biomedical science. The success of the Program will be measured in the short-term by the number of Scholars entering doctoral programs and in the long term by their progress toward and eventual entry into research-oriented careers. Over the course of the funding period, we propose to have two-thirds of all Scholars enter high-quality, doctoral programs where they will earn research-oriented doctoral degrees and from which they will enter careers that will include research. The short-term goals will be: (1) to prepare MARC Scholars for admission to and success in strong graduate programs in biomedical science; (2) to develop MARC Scholars' skills for doing scientific research; (3) to develop MARC Scholars' written and oral communication skills for disseminating scientific discoveries; (4) to develop in MARC Scholars an understanding and appreciation of professional integrity issues encountered in a research career; (5) to provide MARC Scholars with personalized career and academic advisement; and (6) to prepare MARC Scholars for the demands of a research career as minority scientists. On a yearly basis, all MARC Scholars will be expected to improve to or achieve at Level 4-5 in laboratory performance, scientific skills, and oral and written communication skills discussed below, so that by the end of their two-year participation they have shown improvement or high achievement in at least 75% of the measurable objectives. To measure short-term progress, the Program will use specially developed assessment tools, forms, and e-journal entries. The Mentors and Program Director will complete the rubrics and forms and the Scholars will create the e-journals entries. To measure long-term success, the Program will do three-year using a specially designed questionnaire. The Cal State Fullerton MARC U*STAR Program will contribute to the success in research careers of the participating MARC Scholars and will bring significant collateral benefits to the participating departments via the enhancement of their curricula and increased richness of the environment for student research.

描述(由申请者提供)：加州州立大学Fullerton Marc U*STAR计划的使命将是招募和培养有前途的少数族裔生命科学学生，为生物医学研究生院和研究生涯做准备。该计划的成功在短期内将通过进入博士项目的学者数量来衡量，从长期来看，将通过他们在迈向和最终进入以研究为导向的职业生涯方面的进展来衡量。在资助期间，我们建议让三分之二的学者进入高质量的博士课程，在那里他们将获得以研究为导向的博士学位，并从此进入包括研究在内的职业生涯。短期目标将是：(1)使MARC学者为进入强大的生物医学研究生课程并取得成功做好准备；(2)培养MARC学者从事科学研究的技能；(3)培养MARC学者传播科学发现的书面和口头沟通技能；(4)培养MARC学者对研究生涯中遇到的职业诚信问题的理解和欣赏；(5)为MARC学者提供个性化的职业生涯和学术建议；以及(6)使MARC学者为少数族裔科学家的研究生涯的要求做好准备。在每年的基础上，所有MARC学者将被期望在实验室表现、科学技能、口头和书面交流技能方面提高到或达到下文讨论的4-5级，以便在两年的参与结束时，他们在至少75%的可衡量目标上取得了进步或取得了很高的成就。为了衡量短期进展，该方案将使用专门开发的评估工具、表格和电子期刊条目。导师和项目主任将完成规则和表格，学者将创建电子期刊条目。为了衡量长期的成功，该计划将使用专门设计的问卷进行为期三年的调查。加州州立大学Fullerton MARC U*STAR计划将有助于参与的MARC学者在研究生涯中取得成功，并将通过改进其课程和增加学生研究环境的丰富性，为参与部门带来显著的附带好处。
