DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The intent of this COMPETITIVE CONTINUATION PROPOSAL for the MARC U*STAR is to continue to strengthen our present program, provide a quality education through cross-disciplinary science curricula and research training to highly capable minority undergraduates in order to enable them to successfully pursue doctoral degrees in biomedical research. The junior/senior MARC Honors program is centered in the departments of Biological Sciences and the Physical Sciences (biochemistry, chemistry and mathematics). This proposal also contains a Pre-MARC component as it is deemed critical in preparing our POOL of well qualified, academically strong, research oriented students for our MARC U*STAR Program. The four-year program will include, but not be limited to the following: 1. implementation of a cross-disciplinary, math intensive curriculum to better prepare our Trainees for the various fields in biomedical research. 2. participation in intramural & extramural research to provide role models, research training, networking and experience in the proper conduct of research 3. mentoring and career guidance to increase the number of Trainees who are successful in pursuing graduate degree programs in biomedical research 4. integration of proven strategies that will enable our MARC trainees to become stronger independent learners, improve their scientific reading, writing & communication skills 5. preparation for our Trainees through a four-year focused test-taking model to enable a stronger performance on the MCAT/GRE exams 6. presentation of a Speakers Series to broaden research knowledge, role modeling and career options 7. development of electronic personal portfolios to monitor Trainee expertise in independent learning habits, professional presentations and interview skills 8. establish a Science/Math Center focused on collaborative problem solving & mentoring While ambitious, this program will offer our Pre-MARC and MARC U*STAR Trainees the challenges and support that will enable them to develop into qualified biomedical researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：MARC U*星这一竞争性延续建议的目的是继续加强我们的目前计划，通过跨学科科学课程和研究培训提供高质量的教育，并向高度有能力的少数本科生提供研究，以使他们能够成功地在生物医学研究中寻求博士学位。初级/高级MARC荣誉计划以生物科学和物理科学（生物化学，化学和数学）为中心。 该提案还包含了MARC之前的组成部分，因为它认为为我们的Marc U*Star计划准备我们资格良好，学术上强大，以研究为导向的学生至关重要。 四年计划将包括但不限于以下内容： 1。实施跨学科的数学密集型课程，以更好地为学员准备生物医学研究领域的学员。 2。参与壁内和壁外研究，以提供榜样，研究培训，网络和经验，以适当进行研究 3。指导和职业指导，以增加成功追求生物医学研究研究生学位课程的学员人数 4。融合了验证的策略，这将使我们的MARC学员能够成为更强大的独立学习者，提高他们的科学阅读，写作和沟通技巧 5。通过四年以四年重点的考试模型为学员准备，以使MCAT/GRE考试的表现更强 6。演讲者系列的介绍以扩大研究知识，角色建模和职业选择 7。开发电子个人投资组合，以监视独立学习习惯，专业演示和面试技能方面的受训者专业知识 8。建立一个专注于协作问题和指导的科学/数学中心 虽然雄心勃勃，但该计划将为我们的马克和马克·乌*明星学员提供挑战和支持，这将使他们能够发展成为合格的生物医学研究人员。
