U-STAR: TOP 10

描述(由申请者提供)：提出了一个名为培训机会计划-成功的10个步骤(U-STAR：TOP-10)的新计划。这是一个基于以身作则的领导方法的项目，旨在创建一个由理科最优秀的10名学生领导的“学者联谊会”。由于CSDUH中代表不足的学生数量极高，因此假设他最优秀的10名学生将被录取为U-STAR：TOP-10等级分是现实的。同时，针对U-STAR的具体计划：排名前十的学生将会有更多的结构。特别是，列出了成功进入和完成博士项目所需的十大步骤，以供U-STAR：TOP-10队列密切跟踪。该计划是根据文献中关于干预的最佳做法和研究而设计的。该项目有三个可衡量的具体目标，具体涉及MARC学生的成功，改善生物医学和行为领域学生进入博士项目的机构基线，以及提高该项目作为招聘工具的知名度。 该计划以本周期的成功为基础，还包括一系列新的浓缩活动，以应对新的问题和挑战。主要目标是使U-star学生在博士项目中的安置成功率达到85%，并将这方面的机构基线提高20%。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A new plan called Training Opportunity Program - 10 steps to success (U-STAR: TOP-10) is proposed. It is a project based on a leading by example approach that intends to create a "Fraternity of Scholars" led by the best 10 students in science. Due to the extremely high number of underrepresented students at CSDUH, it is realistic to assume that he best 10 students will be recruited as the U-STAR: TOP-10 cohort. At the same time, the specific plan for the U-STAR: TOP-10 students will have more structure. In particular, a list of the top ten steps needed to successfully access and complete a PhD program is proposed for the U-STAR: TOP- 10 cohort to follow closely. The plan has been designed based on the best practices and research on intervention found in the literature. This project has three measurable specific aims which specifically addresses the success the of the MARC students, the improvement of the institutional baseline of students in biomedical and behavioral fields going into Ph.D. programs, and the increase in the visibility of the program as a recruitment tool. The plan builds on the success of the current cycle and also includes a set of new enrichment activities in order to address new issues and challenges. The main goals are to obtain an 85% success rate for placement of U-STAR students in PhD programs and to raise the institutional baseline in this aspect by 20%.
