DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are seeking to continue to expand the numbers of underrepresented minority students graduating and seeking careers in the biomedical sciences from the tenth largest producer of minority undergraduate degrees in the Nation. Over the previous four years of the MARC Grant, the numbers of minority faculty and students majoring in biology, chemistry and psychology have increased at SJSU. Our goals for the next five years are: (1) We want to raise the percentages of our MARC Trainees going on for advanced training from 75% to 90% over the five-year period of the grant. (2) We want to at least double the numbers of MARC Trainees obtaining Ph. D. or MD/Ph.D. degrees over the next grant period from 8 to at least 16 new graduates over the next 5 years. (3) We will increase the numbers of minority Ph.D.'s (who are our BA/BS students) from 2.4 to 4.8 per year for the sciences and psychology (not just MARC Trainees) through our curricula changes. (4) We want to continue working with our MARC graduates in masters programs to have at least 50% or more go on to a Ph.D. program. (5) We seek to increase the numbers of minority students remaining in science by 15% due to our curricula efforts. (6) We seek to lower the average of 6.3 years to receive a degree to 5.0 years or less for science and psychology minority students through better advising. (7) We want to increase the numbers of under-represented minority students in the sciences by 25% over five years. (8) We will make three required biology courses (BIO 1, 2, 3) more quantitative. (9) We will make two upper division biology courses more quantitative. (10) We will increase the average number of MARC publications per year from 2 to 4. The new faculty being hired are more research active and publication oriented, consistent with the higher standards for scholarship required for tenure. (11) 100% of the biology and chemistry students shall have completed calculus before becoming a MARC Trainee. These increased expectations are possible because of the curricula changes that will occur via the MARC and because the faculty are more research active.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们正在寻求继续扩大代表性不足的少数族裔学生的人数，从而在全国第十大少数族裔本科学位的生物医学科学毕业和寻求职业。在MARC Grant的过去四年中，SJSU的生物学，化学和心理学专业的少数族裔教师和学生人数有所增加。我们接下来五年的目标是：（1）我们希望将MARC学员的百分比从75％提高到90％的赠款期。 （2）我们希望至少将获得博士学位或MD/Ph.D博士学位的MARC学员人数增加一倍。在下一个赠款期间，学位从8到至少16名新毕业生在接下来的5年中。 （3）通过我们的课程更改，我们将每年将科学和心理学（不仅仅是MARC受训者）的少数族裔博士学位（他们是我们的文学学士学位）增加2.4至4.8。 （4）我们希望继续与MARC毕业生在硕士课程中至少获得50％或更多的博士学位。程序。 （5）由于我们的课程努力，我们试图将留在科学的少数族裔学生人数增加15％。 （6）我们寻求通过更好的建议来降低科学和心理学少数群体学生的平均水平，以获得5。0年或更少的学位。 （7）我们希望在五年内将科学中代表性不足的少数族裔学生的人数增加25％。 （8）我们将进行三个必需的生物学课程（生物1、2、3）。 （9）我们将使两个上层生物学课程更加定量。 （10）我们将每年的平均MARC出版物数量从2增加到4。被聘用的新教师更积极地研究和出版物，这与任期所需的奖学金标准相一致。 （11）100％的生物学和化学专业学生应在成为MARC训练者之前已经完成了微积分。由于MARC发生的课程变化，并且由于教师的研究更加活跃，因此可能会增加这些期望。
