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民族学生毕业，并从少数民族本科学位在全国第十大生产者寻求在生物医学科学的职业生涯的数量。在过去的四年MARC补助金，少数民族教师和学生在生物学，化学和心理学专业的人数在SJSU增加。我们未来五年的目标是：（1）我们希望在资助的五年内将MARC学员继续接受高级培训的比例从75%提高到90%。(2)我们希望获得博士学位的MARC学员人数至少翻一番。或医学博士在下一个补助金期间，在未来5年内，将从8名毕业生增加到至少16名毕业生。(3)我们将增加少数民族博士的数量。的（谁是我们的BA/BS学生）从2.4到4.8每年的科学和心理学（不仅仅是MARC学员）通过我们的课程变化。(4)我们希望继续与我们的MARC毕业生在硕士课程的工作，有至少50%或更多的博士学位。程序. (5)由于我们的课程努力，我们寻求将少数民族学生留在科学领域的人数增加15%。(6)我们寻求通过更好的建议，将科学和心理学少数民族学生获得学位的平均时间从6.3年降低到5.0年或更短。(7)我们希望在五年内将科学领域代表性不足的少数民族学生人数增加25%。(8)我们将使三门必修生物课程（生物1，2，3）更加量化。(9)我们将使两门高年级生物课程更加量化。(10)机读目录出版物由年均2种增加到4种。新聘教师更积极的研究和出版导向，符合终身职位所需的奖学金的更高标准。(11)100%的生物和化学学生在成为MARC实习生之前必须完成微积分。这些增加的期望是可能的，因为课程的变化，将通过MARC发生，因为教师更积极的研究。
