 描述(由申请者提供)：CSUSB MARC项目将是全校范围内的努力，涉及生物、化学、心理学和其他相关系的学生和教职员工。这个为期5年的项目的目标是大幅增加来自代表不足(UR)群体的CSUSB本科生的数量，他们毕业并获得生物医学和行为科学的研究型博士学位。该项目将提供一系列全面的跨学科的MARC预科和MARC实习生活动，以增加能够在严格的博士课程中取得成功的有动力的学生的数量。项目目标包括：1)将准备好攻读生物医学和行为科学学士学位的UR学生人数增加至少25%；2)在五年内将进入研究密集型大学生物医学和行为博士课程的UR学生人数增加30%。该项目由一支经验丰富、工作效率高的CSUSB教师研究人员团队领导，他们在指导UR学生攻读博士学位方面有良好的记录。拟议的CSUSB MARC计划每年将支持6名新的MARC学员。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The CSUSB MARC program will be an institution-wide effort involving students and faculty in Biology, Chemistry, Psychology and other relevant departments. The goal of this 5-year project is to substantially increase the number of CSUSB undergraduates from underrepresented (UR) groups who graduate and achieve research-based Ph.D. degrees in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The project will provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary array of pre-MARC and MARC Trainee activities that will increase the number of motivated students who are able to succeed in rigorous doctoral programs. Project Objectives include: 1) increasing the number of UR students who are well-prepared to pursue baccalaureate degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences by at least 25%; and 2) increase the number of UR Students who matriculate into biomedical and behavioral doctoral programs at research-intensive universities by 30% in five years. The project is led by a team of seasoned, highly productive CSUSB faculty researchers with proven track records in mentoring UR students toward the doctorate. The proposed CSUSB MARC program will support 6 new MARC trainees each year.
