DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The demographic figures of the student body at California State University Long Beach (CSULB) mirror the rapidly changing diversity of the community we serve in urban Los Angeles and Orange counties. The Hispanic/Latino population forms the largest ethnic underrepresented minority (URM) group at CSULB, which is designated a Hispanic Serving Institute. Students entering CSULB come from an academic, socioeconomic, health and domestic status that is vastly disparate from that of their non-URM counterparts. In a climate fraught with draconian cuts in budget at all levels, CSULB is charged with the responsibility of combating the educational and professional hurdles faced by this cross section of population and shaping tomorrow's leaders in many walks of life, including biomedical research. The MARC U*STAR Program, which has been in place for over 20 years in CSULB, has a tremendous impact on the academic and professional lives and career decisions of many students. The overall aim of the current competitive renewal is to continue to increase the number of URM students entering and earning doctorates in biomedical sciences. The program will recruit 8 URM students with potential and interest in pursuing research as a career, and provide individually designed academic and research training plan to each. We will provide a rich and intense curriculum, supplementary academic support and counseling, an enriching research experience, and professional and leadership development training in a nurturing environment over a period of two years. Further, we have established collaborations with Universities with outstanding graduate programs, which will provide additional short-term extramural research training for the Scholar. We will also increase the awareness of Scholars to minority health disparities issues, and engage them in topics on responsible conduct of research, and ethics and integrity in academia and research. The Program director has gathered a team of Faculty Mentors, senior administrators, an Advisory Committee and staff members, who are committed to the successful development of the Scholars. Taken together, the MARC program will support the Scholars and lay the essential groundwork required to face the rigors of graduate school education in a highly competitive atmosphere. In parallel, we will increase the awareness of faculty regarding the setbacks encountered by URM students. All components of the CSULB MARC U*STAR Program will be rigorously evaluated by an ongoing evaluation process, based on quantitative and qualitative assessment employing established rubric and tools to assess the success of the Program. The evaluator will provide valuable feedback to the Program Director and senior administration to sustain a robust Program. In summary, the CSULB MARC U*STAR Program will have a lasting impact on the career decisions of URM students by providing opportunities to attend graduate school in biomedical sciences and give back to the health and medical needs of the community.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州州立大学长滩（CSULB）学生团体的人口统计数据反映了我们在洛杉矶和橙子县服务的社区的迅速变化的多样性。西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口构成了CSULB最大的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）群体，该群体被指定为西班牙裔服务机构。进入CSULB的学生来自学术，社会经济，健康和家庭状况，与非URM同行截然不同。在一个充满了各级预算大幅削减的环境中，CSULB负责打击这一人口横截面所面临的教育和专业障碍，并塑造未来各行各业的领导者，包括生物医学研究。该MARC U* 星星计划，这已经在CSULB超过20年的地方，对许多学生的学术和职业生活和职业决策产生了巨大的影响。目前竞争性更新的总体目标是继续增加URM学生进入和获得生物医学博士学位的人数。该计划将招募8名有潜力和兴趣从事研究作为职业的URM学生，并为每个人提供个性化设计的学术和研究培训计划。我们将提供丰富而紧张的课程，补充学术支持和咨询，丰富的研究经验，以及在两年的培育环境中的专业和领导力发展培训。此外，我们还与具有优秀研究生课程的大学建立了合作关系，这将为学者提供额外的短期校外研究培训。我们还将提高学者对少数民族健康差距问题的认识，并让他们参与有关负责任的研究行为，学术界和研究中的道德和诚信的主题。该计划主任聚集了一个团队的教师导师，高级管理人员，咨询委员会和工作人员，谁是致力于学者的成功发展。总的来说，MARC计划将支持学者，并奠定必要的基础，以面对研究生院教育在竞争激烈的气氛中的严格要求。同时，我们将提高教师对URM学生遇到的挫折的认识。CSULB MARC U* 星星计划的所有组成部分将通过持续的评估过程进行严格评估，基于定量和定性评估，采用既定的规则和工具来评估该计划的成功。评估人员将向项目总监和高级管理人员提供宝贵的反馈，以维持强有力的项目。总之，CSULB MARC U* 星星计划将通过提供参加生物医学科学研究生院的机会，并回馈社区的健康和医疗需求，对URM学生的职业决策产生持久的影响。
