DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Brooklyn College MARC U*STAR program has served a large and diverse institution with a student body primarily composed of minorities and women. Our program goals are to substantially increase interest of nationally recognized under-represented groups of students and to successfully prepare them for entry into PhD programs in biomedical sciences. Accordingly, we have increased the efficacy of our academic support and training programs to the point that there are currently 13 BC MARC alumni in PhD programs, and our PhD entry rate has exceeded 50% in two of the last 5 years. Our evaluations identify 4 barriers to improvements in this record: Inadequate academic skills for mastering the "gate-keeper" science courses; lack of research experience and consistent research and career mentoring; lack of student familiarity with scientific research careers, leading to research motivation only to bolster a pre-med career path; and lack of awareness of what graduate school entails, how to apply, get support, and complete degrees. To meet these challenges, we propose two ambitious programs to improve and expand on our current successful MARC and RISE activities. The 2-year MARC Research Introduction Program will involve 100 or more incoming students with interest in science, and begin them on a carefully planned "research ladder." Participating students will have intensive Peer-Assisted Learning-based academic support for each of the gatekeeper courses. There will be also a series of seminar courses discussing contemporary biomedical research and research career options. Persisting students will move into journal-club-like seminars, training in our research techniques facility, and group research projects. Completion of the Introductory Program will qualify students to apply for acceptance in the MARC Advanced Research Program as Fellows or Associates. These advanced research students will have a 2-year intensive research experience in the lab of a biomedical researcher, academic support, summer research externships, and seminar courses in oral and written presentation of research and responsible conduct of research. These activities will increase the number of biomedical PhDs who have undergraduate research experience at Brooklyn College. Our objectives are to increase PhD entry rate of Brooklyn undergraduates from nationally recognized under-represented groups by at least 90% from its current level of 5-6 per year to 10 per year.

描述（由申请人提供）：布鲁克林学院Marc U*Star计划已为主要由少数民族和妇女组成的学生团体提供了一个大型而多样化的机构。我们的计划目标是实质上增加了国家认可的人数不足的学生群体的兴趣，并成功地准备他们进入生物医学科学博士学位课程。因此，我们提高了学术支持和培训计划的疗效，以至于目前有13个公元前MARC校友在博士计划中，而我们的博士学位入学率在过去5年中的两年中已超过50％。我们的评估确定了这一记录改进的4个障碍：掌握“守门员”科学课程的学术技能不足；缺乏研究经验以及一致的研究和职业指导；缺乏学生对科学研究职业的熟悉程度，导致研究动机只是为了加强医学前的职业道路；并且缺乏对研究生院的意识，如何申请，获得支持和完整学位。为了应对这些挑战，我们提出了两个雄心勃勃的计划，以改善和扩展我们当前的成功MARC和RISE活动。 2年的MARC研究介绍计划将涉及100名或更多对科学兴趣的学生，并以精心计划的“研究阶梯”开始。参加的学生将为每个守门人课程提供基于同行学习的学术支持。还将有一系列讨论当代生物医学研究和研究职业的研讨会课程。坚持不懈的学生将进入类似期刊俱乐部的研讨会，我们的研究技术培训和小组研究项目。介绍计划的完成将使学生有资格在MARC高级研究计划中申请作为研究员或同事的接受。这些高级研究专业的学生将在生物医学研究人员，学术支持，夏季研究的实质性和研讨会课程的实验室中拥有2年的密集研究经验，并在研究和负责任的研究中进行了口头和书面介绍。这些活动将增加在布鲁克林学院拥有本科研究经验的生物医学博士学位的数量。我们的目标是将布鲁克林大学本科生的博士入学率从全国认可的不足的群体提高至少90％，从目前的每年5-6水平到每年10个。
