CSU San Bernardino Minority Access to Research Careers

描述（由申请人提供）：这是加州州立大学，圣贝纳迪诺，少数民族获得研究职业（MARC）计划的修订建议。CSUSB MARC计划将是一个机构范围内的努力，涉及生物学，化学，运动机能学，物理学和心理学的学生和教师。这个为期5年的项目的目标是大幅增加来自代表性不足的少数群体的CSUSB本科生的数量，他们毕业并获得生物医学和行为博士学位。该项目将提供一个全面的，跨学科的阵列的预MARC和MARC培训生活动，将增加这些学生谁是能够和动机在这些领域的严格的博士研究取得成功的数量。项目目标包括：1.每年增加至少50%的现有价值的动机，以寻求生物医学博士学位的准备充分的URM大学生的数量; 2。吸引和留住更多的高成就，在这些学科的博士学位的毕业生，近一倍的5年项目期结束时的数量; 3。每年增加此类毕业生在相关博士课程中的入学人数;增加获得生物医学和行为学博士学位的此类学生人数。该项目是由一个经验丰富的，高生产力的CSUSB教师研究人员团队领导的，他们在指导少数民族学生攻读博士学位方面有着良好的记录。十个大三和大四学生将在这个项目上得到支持。 公共卫生相关性声明：国家生物医学研究队伍的未来取决于寻求生物医学和行为博士学位的训练有素的本科生的持续发展。下一代将越来越多地由代表性不足的少数群体组成，他们在历史上没有追求过这些目标。该项目旨在吸引和培养这些学生，以满足这一国家需求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised proposal from the California State University, San Bernardino, for a Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) program. The CSUSB MARC program will be an institution-wide effort involving students and faculty in Biology, Chemistry, Kinesiology, Physics, and Psychology. The goal of this 5-year project is to substantially increase the number of CSUSB undergraduates from underrepresented minority groups who graduate and achieve biomedical and behavioral doctorates. The project will provide a comprehensive, inter-disciplinary array of Pre-MARC and MARC Trainee activities that will increase the number of these students who are able and motivated to succeed in rigorous doctoral study in these fields. Project Objectives include: 1. Increasing the number of well-prepared URM sophomores who are motivated to seek biomedical doctorates by at least 50% of current values, annually; 2. Attracting and retaining more high achieving, doctorally motivated graduates in these disciplines, nearly doubling the number by the end of the 5 year project period; 3. Increasing the enrollment of such graduates in relevant doctoral programs each year; Increasing the number of such students who attain biomedical and behavioral doctorates. The project is lead by a team of seasoned, highly productive CSUSB faculty researchers with proven track records in mentoring underrepresented minority students toward the doctorate. Ten Juniors and Seniors will be supported on this project. Public Health Relevance Statement: The future of the nation's biomedical research workforce depends on the continued development of well- trained undergraduates who seek biomedical and behavioral doctorates. The next generation will be made up increasingly of underrepresented minorities who historically have not pursued such goals. This project seeks to attract and prepare such students to meet this national need.
