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未被充分代表的少数民族学生的数量，从全国第十大少数民族本科学位生产国毕业并在生物医学科学领域寻求职业。在MARC资助的前四年里，上海外国语大学生物、化学和心理学专业的少数民族教师和学生数量有所增加。我们未来五年的目标是：(1)我们希望在拨款的五年期间，将MARC受训者继续接受高级培训的比例从75%提高到90%。(2)我们希望获得博士或博士/博士学位的MARC学员人数至少增加一倍。在接下来的五年里，从8名到至少16名的新毕业生。(3)我们将通过课程改革，将理科和心理学（不仅仅是MARC培训生）的少数族裔博士（即我们的学士/学士学生）的数量从每年2.4人增加到4.8人。(4)我们希望继续与硕士项目的MARC毕业生合作，至少有50%或更多的人继续攻读博士学位。(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专业的人数增加15%。(6)我们寻求通过更好的指导，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年或更少。(7)我们希望在五年内将理科中代表性不足的少数族裔学生的数量增加25%。我们将使三门生物必修课（生物课1、2、3）更加量化。我们将使两门高年级生物课程更加量化。（10）将平均每年发表的MARC数量从2篇增加到4篇。新聘用的教员在研究方面更加活跃，也更注重出版，这与终身教职所要求的更高的奖学金标准相一致。（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的学习。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。
