DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Morehouse College "Leaders in Science" MARC-U*STAR Program is responsive to the "New MARC" Program announcement by proposing activities that will impact the retention of science majors and increase their interest in transdisciplinary and biomedical research, graduate study and careers in the biomedical sciences. The program is also designed to prepare honors science majors for graduate study in the biomedical sciences. The goals of the Morehouse College "Leaders in Science" Program Pre-MARC activities are to impact all science majors by: 1) increasing exposure to and skills in transdisciplinary and translational research; 2) increasing academic performance; and 3) increasing interest in and exposure to graduate training and research careers in the biomedical sciences. The Program is designed to enhance the research training infrastructure of the Division of Science and Mathematics through significant curricular enhancements, including the integration of transdisciplinary and translational research, facilitated learning approaches with interdisciplinary focus, faculty development and significant collaboration between the Division's research training programs. "Pre-MARC" activities include providing science majors with: 1) research experiences that enhance interest in and experience with transdisciplinary research; 2) enriched academic experiences to enhance academic performance and increase interest in science research; 3) exposure to cutting-edge biomedical research, graduate training and careers in biomedical sciences; and 4) an enhanced research culture achieved through the leveraging of multiple training programs. The primary goal of the "Leaders in Science" MARC Scholars Program is to prepare highly competitive graduates who possess intent to pursue careers as biomedical research scientists. The MARC Scholars Program will provide advanced training to outstanding junior and senior science majors who have demonstrated strong readiness for and intent to enter PhD programs in the biomedical sciences. This proposal includes a program of MARC scholar activities that (1) replicates the demand and rigor of graduate school; (2) trains potential PhD and MD/PhD applicants, and (3) develops leadership skills. Program activities are designed to provide MARC scholars with: 1) experiences that enhance their preparation for graduate training; 2) advanced training in critical thinking, transdisciplinary research and writing; and 3) opportunities to develop leadership skills through service and leadership development activities. The evaluation of the "Leaders in Science" MARC-U*STAR Program will follow a mixed methods approach, which includes both quantitative and qualitative measures and resulting in formative and summative evaluations. Annual formative evaluations will provide feedback that will be used to make real time programmatic adjustments. The summative evaluation will provide an overall assessment of progress made in achieving various goals and objectives and will systematically identify effective practices and policies.

描述（由申请人提供）：莫尔豪斯学院“科学领袖”MARC-U*STAR 计划响应“新 MARC”计划公告，提出了一些活动，这些活动将影响科学专业学生的保留并增加他们对跨学科和生物医学研究、研究生学习和生物医学科学职业的兴趣。该计划还旨在为荣誉科学专业的生物医学科学研究生做好准备。莫尔豪斯学院“科学领袖”计划 Pre-MARC 活动的目标是通过以下方式影响所有科学专业：1）增加跨学科和转化研究的接触和技能； 2）提高学业成绩； 3）增加对生物医学研究生培训和研究职业的兴趣和接触。该计划旨在通过重大课程改进来加强科学和数学部的研究培训基础设施，包括跨学科和转化研究的整合、促进跨学科重点的学习方法、教师发展以及该部门研究培训计划之间的重大合作。 “Pre-MARC”活动包括为科学专业学生提供：1）增强跨学科研究兴趣和经验的研究经验； 2）丰富学术经验，提高学习成绩，增加科学研究兴趣； 3）接触生物医学领域的前沿生物医学研究、研究生培训和职业； 4) 通过利用多种培训计划来增强研究文化。 “科学领袖”MARC 学者计划的主要目标是培养具有竞争力的毕业生，他们有志于从事生物医学研究科学家的职业生涯。 MARC 学者计划将为优秀的初级和高级科学专业人士提供高级培训，他们已经做好了进入生物医学科学博士课程的强烈准备和意愿。该提案包括一项 MARC 学者活动计划，该计划 (1) 复制研究生院的需求和严谨性； (2) 培训潜在的博士和医学博士/博士申请者，(3) 培养领导技能。项目活动旨在为 MARC 学者提供： 1） 增强他们为研究生培训做好准备的经验； 2）批判性思维、跨学科研究和写作方面的高级培训； 3) 通过服务和领导力发展活动来发展领导技能的机会。 “科学领袖”MARC-U*STAR 计划的评估将遵循混合方法，其中包括定量和定性测量，并产生形成性和总结性评估。年度形成性评估将提供反馈，用于进行实时计划调整。总结性评价将对实现各项目的和目标所取得的进展进行全面评估，并将系统地确定有效的做法和政策。
