U-STAR: TOP 10

描述（由申请人提供）：提出了一个名为“培训机会计划-10步走向成功”（U-STAR: TOP-10）的新计划。这是一个以身作则的项目，旨在建立由科学领域最优秀的10名学生领导的“学者联谊会”。由于CSDUH的学生人数非常多，因此可以假设最好的10名学生将被招募为U-STAR: TOP-10队列。同时，U-STAR: TOP-10学生的具体计划将更加结构化。特别是，U-STAR提出了成功进入并完成博士课程所需的十大步骤清单：top - 10队列密切关注。该计划是根据文献中发现的最佳实践和干预研究设计的。该项目有三个可衡量的具体目标，具体涉及MARC学生的成功，提高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可见性。

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%.
