DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, Irvine (UCI) is a research institution that has gained national recognition for its Minority Science Programs (MSP) at the School of Biological Sciences. The MARC U*STAR at UCI aims at increasing the number of honors underrepresented minority (URM) undergraduates that enter and excel in research doctorates in biomedical sciences. Major program components include, 1) pre-MARC student development activities designed to introduce participants to biomedical research, increase student retention, improve the academic preparedness and interest in biomedical research of URM freshmen and sophomores, and to identify and prepare students for appointment as MARC trainees and 2) a MARC component that supports juniors and seniors to increase the number of competitively trained URM who enroll in research doctorates, by strengthening their academic preparation, motivation and research training. Independent research conducted under the direction of faculty mentors serve as a core element to induce MARC scholars to pursue graduate school and research-focused careers. Over 100 faculty with experience training URM undergraduates and with funded research programs serve as preceptors of MARC scholars. The MARC research training elements are integrated with the undergraduate curriculum and include, 1) individual career and academic advising, 2) a research faculty seminar series, 3) a journal club to introduce scholars to critical reading of current biomedical literature, 4) a workshop on principles, instrumentation and techniques used in biomedical research, 5) independent research directed by faculty mentors, 6) preparation to present oral presentations and posters at local and national conferences, 7) workshop on scientific communications and application to graduate school, 8) weekly individual advice during the graduate school application process and 9) full access to a computer laboratory specifically designed for this program. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The academic preparation and research training of talented underrepresented minority undergraduates is critical to ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to assume leadership roles in the Nation's biomedical and behavioral research enterprise, to address the need of improving the health of the people of the United States. This project will improve the academic quality and increase the quantity of undergraduates from underrepresented groups being trained as the next generation of biomedical research scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：加利福尼亚大学尔湾分校（UCI）是一家研究机构，在生物科学学院的少数族裔科学计划（MSP）获得了国家认可。 UCI的Marc U*明星旨在增加在生物医学科学的研究博士学位中进入和表现的荣誉数量不足的少数民族（URM）本科生的数量。主要的计划组成部分包括，1）旨在向参与者介绍生物医学研究，提高学生的保留率，提高学术准备和对生物医学研究的兴趣和兴趣的旨在介绍参与者的学生发展活动，并确定和准备学生作为MARC培训人员的任命和2）MARC组成的研究，以支持Juniors and Enior necorment formitions formitions fornem trimem训练您的竞争力，并为学生提供竞争力量，并为学生做好准备，并准备工作。动机和研究培训。在教师导师的指导下进行的独立研究是诱使马克学者从事研究生院和研究专注的职业的核心因素。超过100多名教师，具有培训URM大学生和资助研究计划的经验，是MARC学者的主持人。 MARC研究培训元素与本科课程结合，包括1）个人职业和学术咨询，2）研究教师研讨会系列，3）期刊俱乐部，向当前生物医学文献的批判性阅读批判性阅读，4）在生物医学研究中使用的原理，仪器和技术的工作仪，5）独立研究，5）台词，或者是6）独立研究，5）辅导者的专辑，5）本地和国家会议，7）关于研究生院的科学通信和申请的研讨会，8）在研究生院申请过程中每周的个人建议，以及9）完全访问专门为该计划设计的计算机实验室。 公共卫生相关性：对人才不足的少数群体本科生的学术准备和研究培训对于确保有多样化且训练有素的劳动力可以在美国的生物医学和行为研究企业中担任领导角色至关重要，以解决改善美国人民健康的需求。该项目将提高学术质量，并增加因代表性不足的群体而被培训为下一代生物医学研究科学家的本科生的数量。
