项目摘要

Project Abstract The MARC U-STAR Program, now in its 30th year at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez Campus, is designed to provide honors students with meaningful research related experiences, and a special science curriculum, coupled to scientific service learning and professional development activities that will propel their competitiveness in pursuing doctoral programs in biomedical sciences. Twenty two honors students from the biology, industrial microbiology, chemistry, industrial biotechnology, and chemical engineering programs interested in a doctoral career in biomedical sciences can become MARC trainees. Some of the proposed initiatives include on- and off-campus research experiences, weekly workshops on academic skills improvement, journal/book clubs, scientific dissemination among the general community, K-12 outreach and relevant RCR training. Recruitment strategy for prospective MARC students includes activities such as an orientation on biomedical research careers for freshmen and sophomores, and an integrative research summer workshops designed to encourage prospective trainees to develop new skills and methodologies in biomedical research areas. The UPRM MARC program also provides faculty with ample opportunities to enrich their science teaching and mentoring skills by fostering professional development activities. The objectives of the MARC U-STAR Program at UPRM are: 1) increase the knowledge (awareness) of freshmen and sophomore students from participating academic programs (PAP) about research careers and opportunities in biomedical sciences; 2) increase the excellence and number of biomedical researchers from the PAP actively engaged in training, mentoring and role modeling of the UPR-M MARC students; and 3) foster an effective undergraduate research environment through activities and experiences that develop a meaningful contemporary biomedical research culture.

项目摘要 MARC U-STAR计划，现在在波多黎各大学的第30个年头 Rico-Mayaguez Campus旨在为荣誉学生提供有意义的研究相关的经验，和一个特殊的科学课程，再加上科学服务学习和专业发展活动，将推动他们的在追求生物医学科学博士课程的竞争力。二十二荣誉学生从生物学，工业微生物学，化学，工业生物技术和化学工程项目感兴趣的博士生涯，生物医学科学可以成为MARC学员。一些拟议的举措包括校内和校外研究经验，每周学术技能讲习班改进，期刊/图书俱乐部，在一般社区中传播科学， K-12外展和相关的RCR培训。未来MARC的招募策略学生包括活动，如生物医学研究生涯的方向，新生和大学生，以及一个综合研究夏季讲习班，旨在鼓励未来的受训者发展生物医学方面的新技能和方法研究领域。UPRM MARC计划还为教师提供了充足的机会，以丰富他们的科学教学和辅导技能，通过培养专业发展活动。MARC U-STAR计划的目标是 UPRM主要有：1）提高大学一、二年级学生的知识（意识来自参与学术计划（PAP）的学生对研究职业和生物医学科学的机会; 2）增加卓越和数量来自PAP的生物医学研究人员积极参与培训，指导和角色 UPR-M MARC学生的建模; 3）培养有效的本科生研究环境，通过活动和经验，发展有意义的当代生物医学研究文化。
