Minority Access to Research Careers-Undergraduate Student Training for Academic Research (MARC-U*STAR) Program
MARC U*STAR应用
The Minority Access to Research Careers-Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (MARC-U*STAR) Program at 加州大学洛杉矶分校 is the premier undergraduate honors research training program on campus. Participation in MARC-U*STAR is an exceptional opportunity to enhance your academic and professional career through involvement in contemporary biomedical research under the guidance of faculty research directors.
The objective of this honors undergraduate research training program is to increase the pool of well-prepared undergraduate students from minoritized populations who can successfully compete for positions in top graduate programs leading to the Ph.D, 在对生物医学研究有用的科学领域:化学, 生物化学, 生物学, 微生物学, 生物物理学, 数学, 计算机科学, 和心理学. 为此目的, faculty mentors at 加州大学洛杉矶分校 train a small group of highly qualified junior and senior students from underrepresented groups in an honors program strong in research opportunities and science curriculum.
The program has been funded since 1978 by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health. 加州州立大学LA MARC项目的毕业生已经获得了博士学位.D. 顶尖研究机构的学位课程. The Program has graduated over 90 MARC Fellows since its' inception in 1978. Their post-baccalaureate achievements are noteworthy: 63 pursued graduate education in a biomedically-related field (48 to Ph.D. 基础科学项目，2到医学博士.D. programs; one to a Pharm.D.-Ph.D. program; 12 to MS programs). 其中20人完成了博士学位.D., 在这些中, 其中8人已担任学术职务，并在不断晋升, 4个是达特茅斯大学的助理教授, 加州大学洛杉矶分校, 加州大学洛杉矶分校, Cal State U Monterey Bay); three associate professors (one at Cal State U. Long Beach, and two at 加州大学洛杉矶分校); and one full professor (UC Santa Cruz). The research performed by MARC-USTAR undergraduates at 加州大学洛杉矶分校 has led to their co-authorship of nearly 100 publications in refereed journals and some 250 presentations at professional meetings throughout the U.S. from Puerto Rico to Hawaii, and at international conferences from France to Japan.

MARC-USTAR研究培训学院
Twenty-five laboratories under the direction of the training faculty are available for the conduct of research. A list of these research principal investigators and a brief description of their research interests is given at MARC-USTAR研究培训学院. 这些教师都是大学里最优秀的教师学者.
生物医学研讨会
MARC-USTAR计划主持, 以及mbr - rise, 以及两个通往未来的桥梁项目, 每周一次的系列研讨会，每周五举行. The schedule of seminars during the current term is presented online at the 生物医学研讨会.
MARC-USTAR学生出版物和报告
The high quality and quantity of research performed by MARC-USTAR Fellows have resulted in the publication of nearly 100 professional journal articles and some 250 presentations at professional meetings. The list of these with full bibliographic citation is presented online at MARC-USTAR学生出版物和报告.
为MARC-USTAR学生研究员提供财政支持
作为国家卫生研究院的研究员, MARC奖学金获得者的津贴为9美元,每年492美元, plus payment of University registration fees for three academic quarters per year. Additional funds are available for research supplies and for travel to present research results at professional meetings.
MARC-USTAR本科生研究经历
加州州立大学LA MARC-USTAR项目是以研究为导向的. Participation in a strong program of laboratory research is the major benefit to the MARC-USTAR Fellow, 这是一个在大多数大学都不常见的机会. The Fellows interact with the best science faculty and students at the University. 因为自然科学本质上是实验学科, the MARC-USTAR Fellows are introduced to research upon admission to the Program, and research participation continues throughout the two academic years and summers the Fellow is in the Program. 在进入该计划时, the MARC-USTAR Fellows are incorporated into active research groups under the direction of the training faculty. The research group is the basic unit we use to motivate and strengthen a talented student's desire for a career in biomedical research. Participation in a research group (coupled with a strong academic program) is excellent preparation for the student's graduate education to the Ph.D. 一个积极的, 严格的, and productive experience performing publication-quality research as undergraduates is excellent preparation for graduate school, and can be a very positive factor in developing a student's scientific maturity and supporting an interest in a research career. 加州大学洛杉矶分校 has more than 40 years experience in successful involvement of undergraduates in strong research programs.
实验室研究是一项社会性很强的活动, and the new students interact and learn from more senior members of the group. 研究小组也是, 重要的是, 一个由有相似职业抱负的个人组成的互助小组. 更年长的成员为新学生树立了积极的榜样. 学生 experience substantial career development as a consequence of their participation in research. Membership in an active research group and performance of quality research strengthens the student's preparation for graduate education to the Ph.D. 在与生物医学相关的科学领域.
MARC-USTAR学生的研究参与是全年的. 在学年期间, 学员的参与受到学术课程承诺的限制, 但在夏天，他们把全部时间都投入到研究工作中, either on the 加州大学洛杉矶分校 campus or at another university or research institute. 加州州立大学LA MARC-USTAR的学生在实验室里一直很有成效, 他们研究工作的数量和质量都令人印象深刻. Tangible results of their participation in quality research programs are the nearly 100 refereed journal publications and some 250 meeting presentation abstracts, 其中他们是共同作者. We intend that our MARC-USTAR students will couple high performance in undergraduate course work with considerable research laboratory experience to make them very competitive for admission to strong graduate
