Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research

超出提供的空间。这项提议是继续资助当前的U*STAR计划，该计划通过提供实验室研究的接触和培训来解决生物医学博士项目中少数族裔代表性不足的问题。这一努力是通过将加州州立大学多明格斯山庄(CSUDH)的学生人口(70%)和教职员工与港湾-加州大学洛杉矶分校研究和教育研究所(REI)的教职员工和研究机构相结合来完成的。该计划的主要重点是在已确定的教员的研究实验室中进行“动手”培训，并辅之以一些支持性活动，即参加为科学行为(即伦理、人体科目、辐射安全等)提供关键“基础”的课程。加上暑期研究的机会--在外部地点体验机会.该计划提供了一系列丰富的活动，以确保“学生成功”，并提高在博士项目成功的职业成就。与目标直接相关的是针对“中国-MARC”学生的发展活动，因为这些活动有助于扩大合格的U*星库，并推动更多学生对继续他们的科学教育感兴趣。这些活动的重点是项目教师通过学生积极参加研讨会、与来访科学家的会议、关于就业机会的研讨会、研究生申请和暑期研究项目选择、参加研究培训课程的精简版本以及有针对性的社交聚会，对学生进行个性化和个人/.cd关注。实现提案目标的具体可衡量目标与这些活动相关，因为它们旨在增加有资格参加该计划的少数族裔优等生的数量，增加学生人数(通过“MARC前”活动)，增加高中的招生活动(外展)，并增加毕业生的“后续”。CSUDH和REI在这项U*STAR提案中的合作努力代表了对于有效解决少数群体在科学上的不受限制的类型至关重要的努力，特别是在洛杉矶中南部社区。现有的CSUDH U*STAR计划已经成功地开始实现MARC目标，此次续签是继续该计划的请求。表演网站========================================Section End===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. This proposal is to continue funding.; of the current U*STAR program, which addresses the under representation of minorities in Ph.D. programs in the biomedical sciences by providing exposure to, and training in, laboratory research. This effort is being accomplished by combining the student population (>70% minority) and faculty at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) with the faculty and research facilities at Harbor-UCLA Research and Education Institute (REI). The major emphasis of the program is the "hands-on" training in the research laboratories of identified faculty and is complemented by a number of supportive activities, the enrollment in a curriculumthat provides the critical "underpinnings" of the conduct of science (i.e. ethics, human subjects, radiation safety, etc.) plus the opportunity for summer research experience opportunitiesat external sites. This Program provides a number of enrichment activities to ensure "student success" and enhance achievement of successful careers in doctoral programs. Directly relevant to the objective arc the developmental activities directed toward the "prc-MARC" students, as these are instrumental in expanding the qualified U*STAR pool and providing a impetus for more students to have an interest in continuing their education in the sciences. These activities focus on individualized and pcrsonali/.cd attention to the students by the program faculty by the active participationof the students in seminars, meetings with visiting scientists, workshops dealing with career opportunities, graduate school applicationsand summer research program choices, enrollment in an abridged version of the research training curriculum course as well as targeted social gatherings. Specific measurable goals for achieving the objective of the proposal are correlated to these activitiessince they arc designed to increase the number of minority honor students who qualify for the program, increase the pool of the students (via "pre-MARC" activities),increase recruitment activities at high schools (outreach) and increase "follow-up"of graduates. The collaborative efforts of CSUDH and REI in this U*STAR proposal represent the type of effort that is essential to address effectively undcrrcprcsentation of minorities in science, specific to the South Central Los Angeles community. The existing CSUDH U*STAR Program has successfully began to accomplish the MARC objective and this renewal is a request to continue this Program.
