DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the California State University is to educate and prepare California's workforce and prime students for leadership positions. At California State University, Dominguez Hills the departments in the natural and behavioral sciences including biochemistry/chemistry, biology, physics, psychology and sociology, prepare the scientific workforce and are centered on developing their students' potential for research careers in biomedical and behavioral science. Since CSUDH is a minority and Hispanic serving institution, we prepare a high percentage of underrepresented minority students to enter the scientific and biomedical workforce. The proposed MARC program will engage our underrepresented students in activities and opportunities to increase their competitiveness to enter highly ranked PhD programs. Our goals and objectives are designed to affect MARC trainees, pre-MARC students who will eventually become eligible for a MARC traineeship, and other students majoring in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Achievement of the goals and objectives will prepare MARC students to enter highly selective PhD programs, pre-MARC students to become MARC eligible and strengthen the research training capacity at CSUDH thereby providing opportunities to prepare science majors for graduate level work and/or careers in biomedical and behavioral research. We project that at the end of the funding cycle we will have increased the number of CSUDH science students, especially underrepresented minority students, who apply for and gain acceptance into highly competitive PhD programs. Along the way, these students will become productive scientists as undergraduates by presenting their work at professional conferences and publishing in peer reviewed scientific journals. Our evaluation process will demonstrate that we will have contributed to the development of underrepresented minority students and that our program has fostered them into our Nation's biomedical and scientific workforce. Public Health Relevance Statement: The MARC USTAR training program at CSUDH will increase the numbers of underrepresented minority students entering PhD programs leading to research careers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. These future scientists will add to the biomedical workforce of our Nation.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州州立大学的使命是教育和培养加州的劳动力和优秀学生担任领导职位。在加州州立大学多明计斯山分校，自然科学和行为科学系包括生物化学/化学、生物学、物理学、心理学和社会学，培养科学人才，并致力于培养学生在生物医学和行为科学领域的研究职业潜力。由于 CSUDH 是一所少数族裔和西班牙裔服务机构，因此我们为高比例的少数族裔学生进入科学和生物医学队伍做好了准备。拟议的 MARC 计划将使我们代表性不足的学生参与活动和机会，以提高他们进入排名靠前的博士课程的竞争力。我们的目的和目标旨在影响 MARC 学员、最终将有资格获得 MARC 实习资格的 MARC 预科学生以及其他主修生物医学和行为科学的学生。这些目标和目标的实现将为 MARC 学生进入高度选择性的博士课程做好准备，MARC 预科学生将成为 MARC 资格，并加强 CSUDH 的研究培训能力，从而为科学专业为研究生水平的工作和/或生物医学和行为研究的职业做好准备提供机会。我们预计，在资助周期结束时，我们将增加 CSUDH 理科学生的数量，特别是代表性不足的少数族裔学生，他们申请并获得竞争激烈的博士课程的录取。在此过程中，这些学生将通过在专业会议上展示他们的工作并在同行评审的科学期刊上发表文章，成为本科生中多产的科学家。我们的评估过程将证明我们将为代表性不足的少数族裔学生的发展做出贡献，并且我们的计划已将他们培养成我们国家的生物医学和科学劳动力。 公共卫生相关性声明：CSUDH 的 MARC USTAR 培训计划将增加代表性不足的少数族裔学生进入博士课程的数量，从而从事生物医学和行为科学的研究职业。这些未来的科学家将增加我们国家的生物医学队伍。
