PROJECT SUMMARY A creative, innovative biomedical workforce depends on diverse teams lead by PhD scientists trained in technical skills and culturally-aware people skills. The United States’ population of historically excluded groups, which include those from underrepresented minorities (URMs), disadvantaged backgrounds, and/or those with disabilities, is growing, corresponding to an increased interest in STEM fields. However, barriers to equity and access have led to lower rates of entry into PhD programs and scientific careers by minoritized groups. With the growing complexity and urgency of the health and well-being challenges facing our country, we simply cannot afford to continue to exclude underrepresented groups from the research enterprise. Here, we propose to support 16 Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) scholars at San Diego State University (SDSU) with research-validated supportive programming and faculty-mentored research experiences to develop critical thinking, communication, leadership, interpersonal, technical, and resiliency skills. All MARC experiences are developed through a culturally aware lens that seeks to build scholars’ sense of belonging, support their mental health and wellness, and provides a culturally congruent and scientifically stimulating academic home. Here, we are building on 33 successful years of our SDSU MARC program by introducing new partnerships with campus Cultural Centers and disability services for recruitment and programming synergy, introducing a new near-peer mentoring program to combat barriers to success in graduate programs, providing dedicated mentor training within a cultural context that empowers faculty mentors to promote the development, self-efficacy, and independence of their MARC scholars, and responding to scholar needs with new programming. We continue to use evidence-based evaluation data to improve our MARC and pre-MARC programming to prioritize student success and support, which we intend will only grow our success of scholars entering and completing PhD programs. Our workshops, panels, seminars, coursework, and socials have been developed to build critical thinking and quantitative skills, oral and written communication, ethics, reproducibility and rigor, leadership, mental health and resiliency, self-efficacy, and a sense of belonging. We assess all programming through evaluation methods to ensure our program is always improving in terms of rigor, support, efficiency, and success so that MARC scholars are prepared to enter and complete graduate programs. By leveraging key partnerships at SDSU, we are able to synergize our infrastructure, programming, coursework, and mentorship relationships so that we may expand our impact far beyond the requested 16 slots to provide instruction, discussion, and inspiration for historically excluded STEM students and their allies across campus.

项目摘要 创新，创新的生物医学劳动力依赖于受过技术培训的博士学位科学家领导的潜水团队 技能和文化意识的人的技能。美国的历史排除群体人口， 包括来自代表性不足的少数民族（URM），处境不利的背景和/或具有的人。 残疾正在增长，对应于对茎场的兴趣增加。但是，公平障碍和 访问导致较低的少数群体进入博士学位课程和科学职业的率较低。与 我们国家面临的健康和福祉挑战的复杂性和紧迫性，我们根本无法 负担得起继续将代表性不足的群体排除在研究企业之外。在这里，我们建议支持 16最大化圣地亚哥州立大学（SDSU）的研究职业（MARC）学者的机会 研究验证的支持的编程和教职员工研究经验，以发展关键 思考，沟通，领导，人际，技术和弹性技能。所有的MARC经历都是 通过一个具有文化意识的镜头开发，该镜头试图建立学者的归属感，支持他们的心理 健康和保健，并提供了文化上一致且科学刺激的学术住所。在这里，我们 通过与校园建立新的合作伙伴关系，在我们的SDSU MARC计划中成功建立了33年 用于招聘和编程协同作用的文化中心和残疾服务，引入了新的近点 心理计划，以打击研究生课程成功的障碍，提供专门的心理培训 在文化背景下，使教师指导的能力促进发展，自我效能和 他们的MARC学者的独立性，并通过新的编程来应对科学需求。我们继续 使用基于循证的评估数据来改善我们的MARC和MARC PRE PRET PROGUMENT，以优先考虑学生 成功和支持，我们打算只会增进我们进入和完成博士学位的学者的成功 程序。我们已经开发了我们的研讨会，小组，半手，课程和社交活动来建立关键 思维和定量技能，口头和书面交流，道德，可重复性和严格，领导力， 心理健康和韧性，自我效能感和归属感。我们通过 评估方法以确保我们的计划在严格，支持，效率和成功方面始终有所改善 因此，马克学者准备进入并完成研究生课程。通过利用主要合作伙伴关系 在SDSU，我们能够综合我们的基础架构，编程，课程和指导关系关系 这样我们就可以扩大影响远远超出要求的16个插槽，以提供指导，讨论和 历史上排除的STEM学生及其盟友的灵感。
