MARC at the University of Missouri-Columbia

项目摘要 密苏里-哥伦比亚大学(MU)提议开发一个新的T34培训项目(Mizzou Marc) 这将培训在生物医学研究中代表性不足的本科生进入 博士课程在成为成功的科学家的道路上追求在生物医学劳动力的职业生涯。 代表不足(UR)群体包括来自不同种族和民族背景的学生 (代表不足的少数族裔或URM)、低收入(符合佩尔资格的)学生和残疾学生。这个 我们的培训计划的使命是促进一年级和二年级学生的转型 对进入博士课程的高年级学生进行研究感兴趣，具有技术、操作和 有助于在研究生院取得成功的专业技能。为了完成这项任务，我们有 确立了以下八个目标： 目标1：发展和维持一个包容性和支持性的研究学徒社区 一年级和二年级学生。 目标2：为一年级和二年级学生提供探索自己兴趣的机会 研究。 目标3：选择10名初出茅庐的学生作为MIZOU MARC的实习生 还有大四的学生。 目标4：为MIZOZOU MARC学员提供多个展示他们的机会 在国家研究会议上进行研究。 目标5：提供负责任的研究行为(RCR)和方法培训 增强重现性。 目标#6.通过手稿提供交流科学思想的培训 研究建议。 目标7：增加在毕业后继续从事生物医学研究的受训人员数量 从密歇根大学毕业。 目标8：建立健全的科学自我效能感、科学认同感、感知支持、 以及对Mizzou Marc学员之间的指导关系的满意度。 Mizzou Marc T34计划将实施一系列广泛的计划活动，以实现 陈述的目标。以留住和培训学生的最佳做法为基础的方案活动 来自UR背景，如文献中所述，将开发技术、操作和专业 这些技能将使我们的学员在研究生院蓬勃发展，并在博士阶段取得成功的职业生涯 科学家。

Project Summary The University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) proposes to develop a new T34 training program (MIZZOU MARC) that will train undergraduate students from groups that are underrepresented in biomedical research to enter PhD programs on the way to becoming successful scientists pursuing careers in the biomedical workforce. Underrepresented (UR) groups include students from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds (underrepresented minorities or URM), low income (Pell-eligible) students, and students with disabilities. The mission of our training program is to facilitate the transformation of first-year and second-year students interested in research into seniors who matriculate into doctoral programs, with the technical, operational and professional skills that contribute to success in graduate school. To accomplish this mission, we have established the following eight objectives: Objective #1: To develop and maintain an inclusive and supportive Research Apprentice community of 1st and 2nd year students. Objective #2: To provide 1st and 2nd year students with opportunities to explore their interests in research. Objective #3: To select a cohort of 10 rising juniors to be MIZZOU MARC trainees for their junior and senior years. Objective #4: To provide multiple opportunities for the MIZZOU MARC trainees to present their research at national research conferences. Objective #5: To provide training in responsible conduct of research (RCR) and in methods to enhance reproducibility. Objective #6. To provide training in the communication of scientific ideas through manuscripts and research proposals. Objective #7: To increase the number of trainees that continue in a biomedical research career after graduation from MU. Objective #8: To develop robust levels of science self-efficacy, science identity, perceived supports, and satisfaction with mentoring relationships among the MIZZOU MARC trainees. The MIZZOU MARC T34 program will implement a wide-ranging set of programmatic activities to achieve the stated Objectives. The programmatic activities, based on best practices for retention and training of students from UR backgrounds, as described in the literature, will develop the technical, operational and professional skills that will enable our trainees to flourish in graduate school and develop successful careers as PhD scientists.
