Undergraduate Student training in Academic Research

加州州立大学洛杉矶分校提议更新和扩大其非常成功的MARC LTSTAR计划。我们提出了一个综合和协调的四年机构计划，以帮助 加州州立大学洛杉矶分校有才华的理科学生在他们的科学学科中变得称职，支持他们的 从事研究工作的动力，对自己的能力有信心，对实验室或实验室的逆境有抵抗力 课堂，并培养他们的领导技能。 我们提出了一个由两部分组成的计划：第一，实习前的经历，重点是 提高加州州立大学洛杉矶分校理科一年级和二年级学生的学习成绩 参与的部门和支持他们在科学领域的职业动力，特别是在 生物医学研究。在第二部分，选出的14名初级和高级Marc U*明星实习生将 参加一个有重点的、严格的计划，为他们成功地攻读博士学位做好准备 生物医学科学。 该计划包括：1)一个坚实的科学课程，通过一个刻意的合作计划来加强- 课程活动，包括：2)参加有组织的平行补充教学，以提高 在学生的专业、特别研讨会和课程中取得的成就；3)早期的研究入门 本科生涯，紧随其后的是加州州立大学洛杉矶分校和其他大学的全年研究机会 机构；4)仔细的学术和职业建议；5)通过刻意的互动建立网络 拥有理科教师的MARC学生和加州州立大学其他成功的理科学生；6)参与 参加促进研究小组，以提高生物医学科学的学术成就；7)参与 生物医学系列研讨会。我们预计，完成学业的少数民族学生的数量 有动力从事生物医学研究的职业将大大增加。 我们打算通过发展和发展美国生物医学和行为研究企业 为顶级博士项目提供我们最杰出的创造力和智力人才 有动力的本科生。我们希望我们的学生建立独立调查人员的职业生涯，并 在美国科学界占据领导地位。

California State University Los Angeles proposes to renew and expand its highly successful MARC LTSTAR Program. We propose an integrated and coordinated four-year institutional program that assists talented Cal State LA science students in becoming competent within their science discipline, supports their motivation for a career in research, confident in their abilities, resilient to adversity in the laboratory or in the classroom, and develops their leadership skills. We propose a program composed of two parts: first, a Pre-Trainee experience whose emphasis is enhancing the academic achievements of all Cal State LA Freshmen and Sophomore science students in the participating departments and support their motivation for careers in the sciences, especially in biomedical research. In the second part, the 14 selected Junior and Senior MARC U*STAR Trainees will participate in a focused and rigorous program designed to prepare them for success in PhD study in the biomedical sciences. The program is composed of: 1) a solid science curriculum enhanced by a program of deliberate co- curricular activities, including: 2) participation in structured parallel supplemental instruction to enhance achievement in the student's major, in special workshops, and in courses; 3) introduction to research early in the undergraduate career, followed by strong year-round research opportunities at Cal State LA and other institutions; 4) careful academic and career advisement; 5) networking through the deliberate interaction of the MARC students with science faculty and other successful Cal State LA science students; 6) participation in facilitated study groups for enhanced academic achievement in the biomedical sciences; 7) participation in a biomedical sciences seminar series. We expect that the number of accomplished minority students motivated to careers in biomedical research will greatly increase. We intend to enrich the American biomedical and behavioral research enterprise by developing and making available to top PhD programs the creativity and intellectual talents of our most outstanding motivated undergraduates. We expect our students to establish careers as independent investigators and assume leadership positions in American science.
