Cal State Fullerton MARC U-STAR Program Supplement - Development and Implementation of an Online Scientific Communication Workshop

摘要 Cal State Fullerton MARC U-STAR计划建议开发和实施 一个在线科学交流研讨会（SCW），将针对STEM专业谁是 进行独立的本科研究，并有兴趣攻读研究生学位。 我们目前提供四个学期的面对面（FtF）研讨会，我们的MARC学员，但希望 在这个FtF课程的基础上，开发一个两学期的在线研讨会， 提供给加州州立大学富勒顿分校（CSUF）的学生，以及其他加州州的学生 大学（CSU）校园。在我们的补充应用程序的主要目标是1）开发一个两个- 学期在线SCW为STEM专业进行独立研究，并有兴趣追求 研究生培训，2）在完成其开发的一年内提供在线课程，并提供 作为常规课程，3）评估在线课程在推进 学生沟通技巧。我们将在2021年NIGMS上概述我们的在线课程 培训、劳动力发展和多样性计划会议。为了发展助理检察官- 合规的在线课程系列，我们将通过Quality MattersTM构建并认证SCW 程序.然后，在线SCW将由CSUF的专家进行评估，并由 质量问题。CSUF的学生将能够使用学生注册在线课程， 门户网站，而那些在CSU系统其他地方可以通过CSU完全在线注册。两者 CSUF的生物科学系和自然科学与数学学院是 致力于将在线讲习班制度化，作为年度课程。那两个- 学期在线研讨会将扩展与我们的MARC计划相关的两个主要目标- 1） 将即将毕业的MARC学者放在受人尊敬的健康导向（生物医学或行为）博士学位 计划和2）确保他们在指定的博士学位的成功。计划（见家长补助金 T34GM008612）。通过在线最高妇女委员会，我们将能够培养更多的年轻人， 熟练的科学家博士研究谁可以有助于解决直接和长期的健康- 我们国家的相关问题。

ABSTRACT The Cal State Fullerton MARC U-STAR Program proposes the development and implementation of an online Scientific Communication Workshop (SCW) that will be targeted to STEM majors who are conducting independent undergraduate research and are interested in pursuing graduate degrees. We currently offer a four-semester face-to-face (FtF) workshop to our MARC trainees, but would like to build on this FtF course and develop an online two-semester workshop that is more broadly available to students at Cal State Fullerton (CSUF), as well as students at other California State University (CSU) campuses. The main goals in our supplement application are to 1) develop a two- semester online SCW for STEM majors conducting independent research and interested in pursuing graduate training, 2) offer the online course within a year of completing its development and provide it as a regular course offering, and 3) assess the effectiveness of the online course in advancing student communication skills. We will present an overview of our online course at the 2021 NIGMS Training, Workforce Development, and Diversity Program meeting. In order to develop an ADA- compliant online course series, we will build and certify the SCW through the Quality MattersTM program. The online SCW will then be evaluated by experts at CSUF and certified nationally by Quality Matters. Students at CSUF will be able to register for the online course using the student portal, while those elsewhere in the CSU system can register through CSU Fully Online. Both the Department of Biological Science and the College of Natural Science and Mathematics at CSUF are committed to the institutionalization of the online workshop as a yearly course offering. The two- semester online workshop will expand on two main goals associated with our MARC program – 1) placing graduating MARC scholars in respected health-oriented (biomedical or behavioral) doctoral programs and 2) ensuring their success in a specified Ph.D. program (see parent grant T34GM008612). Through the online SCW, we will be able to prepare an even larger number of young, skilled scientists for doctoral study who can contribute to solving immediate and long term health- related concerns in our nation.
