DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long term goal of the MARC U*STAR program at The University of New Mexico is to increase the number of underrepresented minority honor students obtaining the doctorate and entering careers in biomedical research. The immediate goal is to increase the competitiveness of our best minority students for graduate programs. The heart of this program is the opportunity for ten talented minority undergraduates in Biochemistry, Biology and Chemistry to receive intense research training in their junior and senior years. A pre-MARC Student Development component addresses problems that present major obstacles to the success of UNM students, including poor curriculum planning and inability to participate effectively in an electronic world. The emphasis on academic and career guidance will be continued as MARC students move through the program. During the first summer, they will begin a research project and participate in many group learning activities, capped by an end-of-summer student Research Symposium, at which all will present their work. During the subsequent two academic years, the students will continue their research projects and present their projects at a local and a regional or national meeting. It is expected that most will becomes co-authors on a scientific publication. In their first year as MARC scholars, the students will take a class entitled "Research Ethics" and a GRE preparation class. During their second year, students will take a small class that focuses on identifying an appropriate graduate program and developing a competitive application, and then apply to graduate school. As an added feature of the program, the students will spend one summer at another institution (typically their second summer), where they will carry out collaborative research that is related to their project. A strong independent evaluation component has been established, so that the efficacy of the program can be demonstrated. Continuation of this MARC U*STAR program will have enormous impact on a highly qualified group of minority students.

描述（由申请人提供）：在新墨西哥州大学的MARC U* 星星计划的长期目标是增加获得博士学位和进入生物医学研究职业的代表性不足的少数民族荣誉学生的数量。近期目标是提高我们最好的少数民族学生的研究生课程的竞争力。该计划的核心是十个有才华的少数民族本科生在生物化学，生物学和化学的机会，在他们的大三和大四接受密集的研究培训。MARC前学生发展部分解决的问题，目前的主要障碍，UNM学生的成功，包括不良的课程规划和无法有效地参与电子世界。对学术和职业指导的重点将继续作为MARC学生通过该计划移动。在第一个夏天，他们将开始一个研究项目，并参加许多小组学习活动，由一个夏季结束的学生研究研讨会，在所有将介绍他们的工作封顶。在随后的两个学年，学生将继续他们的研究项目，并在当地和区域或国家会议上介绍他们的项目。预计大多数人将成为科学出版物的共同作者。在他们作为MARC学者的第一年，学生将参加一个名为“研究伦理”的课程和一个GRE准备课程。在他们的第二年，学生将参加一个小班，重点是确定一个适当的研究生课程和开发一个有竞争力的应用程序，然后申请研究生院。作为该计划的一个附加功能，学生将在另一个机构度过一个夏天（通常是他们的第二个夏天），在那里他们将进行与他们的项目相关的合作研究。已经建立了一个强有力的独立评价组成部分，以便证明方案的效力。这个MARC U* 星星计划的继续将对一个高素质的少数民族学生群体产生巨大的影响。
