SUMMARY CSULB MARC Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U*STAR) Program The overall goal of the current competitive renewal of the California State University Long Beach (CSULB) Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U*STAR) Program is to continue to increase the number of underrepresented/under-served (UR/US) students entering and earning doctorates in biomedical sciences. CSULB plays a critical role in serving the diverse urban populations surrounding the university in southern California. With the Hispanic/Latino student population forming the largest ethnic group, CSULB has earned the designation and recognition as a Hispanic Serving Institute, as well as an Asian American, Native American and Pacific Islander Serving Institution. The MARC program objectives reflect CSULB's recognition as one of the top universities in the nation for UR/US student education, academic excellence, and value. As a teaching- intensive, research-driven university, its priorities are deeply integrated into the goals and extensive commitment to access and success of UR/US students in academia. The rationale for the proposed training program is the immediate availability of the UR/US student pool, the strong STEM education or graduation rates of CSULB, the success rate of the current MARC program in matriculating MARC Scholars into PhD programs, availability of a strong research-driven group of faculty mentors, who have well funded research programs, the experience in dealing with a diverse student population, and who have published in peer-reviewed journals with undergraduate students. In the proposed MARC program, we plan to recruit 10 Honors-eligible students, typically in their Junior year from Departments that offer degrees relevant to the area of biomedical research. The program will identify students with potential and interest in pursuing biomedical research as a career; they will be selected through a competitive application process, and appointed for a period of 21-24 months. The design, objectives and key activities of the research training program are: (i) offer a rich, intense and individually designed education through research-based, advanced topics curriculum, supplementary academic support, priority registration and counseling to the trainees to; (ii) provide an enriching research experience, in a mentored environment that fosters critical thinking and espouses a systematic hypothesis- driven research methodology, (iii) train MARC Scholars in professional and leadership development activities, and, (iv) encourage graduate school preparation. We have established collaborations with Universities with outstanding graduate programs, which will provide additional short-term extramural research training for the Scholar. Taken together, the MARC program will support the Scholars and lay the essential groundwork required for them to enter and face the rigors of graduate school education in a highly competitive atmosphere. All components of the CSULB MARC Program will be rigorously evaluated by an internal evaluation process, based on quantitative and qualitative assessment employing established rubric and tools. The evaluator will employ a logic model to assess the impact and effectiveness of the training activities and provide valuable feedback to the Program Director and senior administration to facilitate program improvement. The intended trainee outcomes are that a majority of the trainees would report confidence in their STEM skills & knowledge, communication, networking and leadership skills, and that a majority of these trainees would successfully enroll in and graduate from PhD programs. In summary, the CSULB MARC U*STAR Program will have a lasting impact on the career decisions of UR/US students and will contribute significantly towards increasing diversity in the biomedical workforce and research needs of the country.

概括 CSULB MARC 本科生学术研究培训 (U*STAR) 计划 加州州立大学长滩分校当前竞争性续签的总体目标 (CSULB) 最大限度地获得研究职业机会 (MARC) 本科生学术培训 研究 (U*STAR) 计划将继续增加代表性不足/服务不足的人数 （UR/美国）进入生物医学科学领域并获得博士学位的学生。 CSULB 在以下方面发挥着关键作用： 为南加州大学周围的多元化城市人口提供服务。随着 西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生群体构成了最大的族裔群体，CSULB 已获得称号并 被认可为西班牙裔服务机构，以及亚裔美国人、美洲原住民和太平洋人 岛民服务机构。 MARC 计划目标反映了 CSULB 被认可为顶尖大学之一 UR/美国学生教育、学术卓越和价值在全国大学中名列前茅。作为教学—— 密集型、研究驱动型大学，其优先事项深深融入目标并广泛 致力于帮助UR/美国学生进入学术界并取得成功。 拟议培训计划的理由是 UR/US 学生库可以立即可用， CSULB 强大的 STEM 教育或毕业率、当前 MARC 项目的成功率 将 MARC 学者录取为博士课程，提供强大的研究驱动型师资队伍 导师拥有资金充足的研究项目，拥有与多元化学生打交道的经验 人口，并与本科生一起在同行评审的期刊上发表文章。在提议的 MARC 计划，我们计划招收 10 名符合荣誉资格的学生，通常是来自院系的大三学生 提供与生物医学研究领域相关的学位。该计划将识别有潜力的学生 以及对从事生物医学研究作为职业的兴趣；他们将通过竞争选拔 申请流程，任命期限为 21-24 个月。 研究培训计划的设计、目标和关键活动是：（i）提供丰富、密集的 并通过基于研究的高级主题课程、补充课程和个性化设计的教育 为学员提供学术支持、优先注册和咨询； (ii) 提供丰富的研究 经验，在一个培养批判性思维并支持系统假设的指导环境中- 驱动的研究方法，(iii) 在专业和领导力发展活动中培训 MARC 学者， (iv) 鼓励研究生院准备。我们与以下大学建立了合作关系 优秀的研究生课程，将为学生提供额外的短期校外研究培训 学者。总而言之，MARC 计划将为学者提供支持并奠定必要的基础 他们需要在高度竞争的氛围中进入并面对研究生院教育的严格要求。 CSULB MARC 计划的所有组成部分都将通过内部评估进行严格评估 过程，基于使用既定的标准和工具的定量和定性评估。这 评估员将采用逻辑模型来评估培训活动的影响和有效性，并提供 向项目总监和高级管理人员提供宝贵的反馈，以促进项目的改进。这 预期的学员成果是大多数学员对自己的 STEM 技能充满信心并且 知识、沟通、网络和领导技能，并且大多数学员将 成功注册并从博士课程毕业。总之，CSULB MARC U*STAR 计划将 对 UR/美国学生的职业决策产生持久影响，并将做出重大贡献 该国生物医学劳动力和研究需求的多样性不断增加。
