PROJECT SUMMARY A diverse educational and scientific community including people with different life experiences, cultural backgrounds, and ethnicities is vital for developing a robust workforce that can address the technological and social challenges of the U.S. in a new global and interconnected economy. Unfortunately, there is tremendous disparity in the U.S. scientific community in which individuals from disadvantaged economic and social backgrounds, with disabilities, and from some ethnic groups (i.e., African, Native, and Latino Americans) are underrepresented and therefore unable to contribute their talents. Therefore, a forceful approach should be developed to correct the lack of diversity within the scientific community. A starting point for this approach is at colleges and universities where students from underserved communities that do not have the same resources to support higher education begin their education. Indeed, the socio-economic reality of underprivileged students is likely to negatively impact their interest in research. To overcome the obstacles of preventing the pursuit of scientific careers, we are proposing the establishment of a “Maximizing Access to Research Careers” (MARC) program at UC San Diego with the mission is to unlock the potential of students from underrepresented ethnic groups in science, from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds and students with disabilities. The proposed MARC program is directed at motivating, training, mentoring, and facilitating the transition of undergraduate students from college to a Ph.D. program. This new MARC program at UC San Diego will be built on the success of 14 years of experience obtained from an undergraduate “Initiative for Maximizing Student Development” (IMSD) program. The proposed MARC program is composed of two consecutive phases to accomplish our goals. An initial Pre-MARC “Boot Camp” training where students acquire the fundamental scientific skills to be successful in research activities (Phase 1), which is followed by immersing scholars into a rich scientific environment by participating in a research project under the supervision and mentorship of internationally recognized, productive, and well-funded investigators with outstanding training records (Phase 2). In this setting, trainees enhance their initial scientific training by gaining expertise in experimental planning, time management, data collection, interpretation, reproducibility, presentations, and ethics, with the final goal of enrolling in a Ph.D. program. These phases will be accompanied by leadership and career development training to increase students’ self-identity and self-efficacy as scientists, thus supporting their pursuit of a research career.

项目摘要 一个多元化的教育和科学社区，包括具有不同生活经历的人，文化 背景和种族对于发展一支强大的劳动力队伍至关重要， 美国在新的全球和相互关联的经济中面临的社会挑战。不幸的是， 在美国科学界的差距，其中来自弱势经济和社会的个人 背景，残疾人，以及来自一些种族群体（即，非洲人、原住民和拉丁美洲人） 代表性不足，因此无法贡献自己的才能。因此，一个强有力的方法应该是 是为了纠正科学界缺乏多样性而开发的。这种方法的起点是 来自服务不足社区的学生没有相同资源的学院和大学 来支持高等教育开始他们的教育。事实上，贫困人口的社会经济现实 学生可能会对他们的研究兴趣产生负面影响。为了克服防止 追求科学事业，我们建议建立一个“最大限度地获得研究职业” （MARC）计划在加州大学圣地亚哥分校的使命是释放学生的潜力， 在科学领域代表性不足的社会经济背景不利的族裔群体和学生 残疾人。拟议的MARC计划旨在激励、培训、指导和促进 本科生从大学到博士的过渡。程序.加州大学旧金山分校的这个新的MARC项目 迭戈将建立在14年的成功经验，从本科生获得的“倡议， 最大限度地提高学生发展”（IMSD）计划。建议的MARC程序由两个组成 连续的阶段来实现我们的目标。一个初步的预MARC“靴子营”培训，学生 获得在研究活动中取得成功的基本科学技能（第1阶段），然后是 通过参与一个研究项目，使学者们沉浸在丰富的科学环境中， 对国际公认、富有成效且资金充足的调查人员进行监督和指导， 优秀的培训记录（第2阶段）。在这种情况下，受训者通过获得 在实验计划、时间管理、数据收集、解释、再现性 演讲和道德，最终目标是攻读博士学位。程序.这些阶段将是 辅以领导力和职业发展培训，提高学生的自我认同和自我效能 作为科学家，从而支持他们追求研究事业。
