STARS Program at Yale receives donation for expansion

Associate Dean of Science Education Sandy Chang and Yale College’s Development Office secured funding to expand the STARS program for FGLI students researching STEM.

The Science, Technology and Research Scholars Program has experienced its largest expansion to date, connecting more first-generation, low-income students to research and STEM opportunities at Yale. 

The program is directed by Sandy Chang ’88, associate dean of science education at Yale, who said that one of his biggest motivations in taking the position was to direct the STARS program. This year, through the Yale College Dean’s Office, the program is accepting over 200 first-years into the landmark STARS I program and nearly 50 juniors and seniors into the STARS II program. 

“Though STARS I was originally a tutoring initiative for women and underrepresented students to help navigate their STEM education, it has now evolved to include peer-mentoring, access to research opportunities, networking and career planning in STEM fields,” Chang said. 

STARS I specifically targets first-generation, low-income women and students of underrepresented populations in STEM to support and enhance their first-year education and increase retention in STEM fields to promote diversity. Previous STARS I and STARS Summer students participate as peer mentors to the first-year students to provide insight into succeeding in this new environment. Furthermore, the program hosts many seminars and workshops throughout the year to help students with building relationships, learning about STEM opportunities and preparing for a career in STEM after Yale. 

The expansion of the program followed the trend in Yale College’s admission of a higher percentage of FGLI students over the past few years. Chang initiated the first expansion of the program by doubling STARS I to 107 students in 2020-2022, but required additional funding to increase the number of students further. The Yale College Office of Development worked closely with the STARS Program in order to secure this funding, and partnered with Anne Wojcicki ’96, the founder of ancestral genetics company 23andMe, whose foundation made a significant investment in the program.

“This gift was incredible,” Alison Cole ’99, senior associate dean for development, external affairs and special projects, wrote to the News. “It took great teamwork to make it happen.”

This increase in funding allowed STARS I to double its students to 200 and support a population made up of approximately 60 percent women, 90 percent of students on financial aid, students from 16 different countries and 50 Questbridge scholars. In addition to STARS I, Chang has initiatives in place to help students excel in STEM research in Yale; STARS Summer allows 30 rising sophomores in STARS I to conduct fully-funded summer research at Yale with a faculty member and take “Scientific Research: Process and Presentation,” a class intended to teach students how to read, write and present research. 

In order to prepare STARS I students to conduct research over the summer, Chang and Charles Bailyn, professor of astronomy, teach year-long courses called “Perspectives in Biological Research” and “Perspectives on Research in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences,” respectively. These classes are intended to teach students how to read and write scientific papers and grant proposals, and high-achieving students in the class receive funding to conduct research at Yale over the summer. These two classes add 36 first-year students to the 30 already in STARS Summer. 

Finally, Chang expanded the STARS II program from 20 juniors to nearly 50. This program funds juniors for four semesters of scientific research at Yale, including summers; supports attendance at scientific conferences to present their research and provides mentorship from graduate and MD-PhD students. This program has proven successful in its mentorship and preparation of students for graduate and medical school, boasting a 95 percent acceptance rate for its medical school applicants. 

“Fundraising for STARS and other programs that support FGLI students is a top priority for the For Humanity campaign,” Abby Douglas, assistant director of student engagement at the Yale University Office of Development, said. “STARS is one of the amazing results of an ongoing collaboration with our community of students, administrators, alumni and donors and we look forward to continuing our track record of success in securing gifts of this nature.”

The STARS program was originally founded in 1995.

Advising Resources

Stars summer research program application deadline.

The STARS Summer Program provides summer term support for select Yale undergraduate students who live on campus and participate in laboratory research with Yale faculty members. Students selected for the program work as full-time research assistants who support the research of their mentor and/or faculty advisor. 

In addition, enrollment in SCIE 101 Scientific Research: Process and Presentation and active participation in weekly journal club sessions are required. These sessions provide STARS scholars the opportunity to discuss their individual lab journals as well as other journal article samples selected for the program. At the conclusion of the summer program, each student will submit his or her research results in a written publishable format and will conduct a formal presentation of their research at a public symposium.

All STARS Summer fellows must live on the Yale campus for the duration of the nine week program ( Monday, May 30 - Friday, July 29, 2022 ). The purpose of this arrangement is to foster an exciting and challenging academic environment where summer fellows may come together as a community to exchange ideas and information. The program includes evening activities and occasional weekend trips.

Summer Fellows are required to:

• Work with a mentor in designing a mutually beneficially research project that will further develop the summer fellow’s research and analytical skills;
• Write a 6-10 page paper on his/her research project to be presented at the end of the program. This paper/presentation will be evaluated by the mentor and course instructor.
• Present the findings of research projects before all their peers, mentors, and invited guests from the larger Yale community at the Summer Research Program Symposia in July;
• Attend and participate in a weekly evening discussion regarding scientific issues. Some reading and preparation is required;
• Attend class sessions of the summer course.

STARS Summer Fellows are awarded a $2,500 stipend and the program covers participants’ room, board, and SCIE 101 course tuition.

• Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program
• Programs of Study

Are you a current undergraduate student considering pursuing a PhD? Each summer, the Yale Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program brings a group of undergraduates to Yale for eight weeks to explore what a PhD could offer them. As a SURF program participant, you will:

• learn about the kind of work you can expect to do in graduate school
• gain insight into building a career based on PhD-level training
• become more confident in your academic abilities and potential

During the program, you will be immersed in an academic, professional setting with a faculty mentor, a post-doctoral associate, and/or an advanced graduate student. The program focuses on research: you will pursue individual research projects and participate in workshops and panel discussions.

• If you are interested in the natural sciences, you will learn advanced laboratory methods and conduct research in state-of-the-art facilities. 
• If you are interested in the humanities or social sciences, you will work closely with mentors and use the extraordinary resources found in Yale's libraries.

You will learn to present your research effectively to colleagues, develop a proposal, give a final presentation to your peers, submit a written final paper, and present at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium.

Student Testimonial

Omkar A. Katta, Yale SURF Participant, Summer 2019

“It has been a couple of days since I’ve returned home, and I am already missing my time at Yale University. Thank you all for an incredible summer. The friends I have made, the experiences I have had, and the moments we have shared will be near and dear to my heart. You are a huge part of why this summer has been one of the greatest summers in my life. From writing proposals and manuscripts to giving presentations, I have learned the skills necessary to conduct quality research, and I will carry these skills with me for the rest of my research career. Perhaps more uniquely to this program, you created an environment that mirrored the real world experience of conducting research. From exchanging business cards to networking with strangers, I learned what it means to be a polite and productive citizen of academia. I know that in future iterations of the program, you will continue to deliver the same experience to aspiring researchers like me. Thank you for what you have done.”

INFORMATION FOR

• Residents & Fellows
• Researchers

The Yale System of Medical Education remains unique among medical schools. It has been an important part of life at the Yale School of Medicine since the 1920s. Although it has undergone minor modifications in the intervening years, its essential spirit has remained intact, and it is a major reason why many students choose to come to Yale for their medical education.

The fundamental element of the system is the concept that medical students are mature individuals, strongly motivated to learn, requiring guidance and stimulation rather than compulsion or competition for relative standing in a group. The corollary of this concept is that students must assume more than usual responsibility for their education. Students should be considered adults in a graduate school and be permitted to enjoy as large a degree of freedom as is consistent with the fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Memorization of facts should be far less important than a well-rounded education in fundamental principles, training in methods of investigation, and the acquisition of the scientific habit of mind.

Pre-Clerkship Years

During the pre-clerkship years, the students acquire knowledge and develop clinical skills. In the integrated basic and clinical science courses, lectures are held to a minimum, and there is a focus on interactive learning in small-group workshops and conferences. Students are evaluated through examinations that they take anonymously. Performance is assessed by the faculty based upon participation in small-group sessions, by anonymous qualifying examinations at the end of each course, and by passing of the United States Medical Licensing Examinations. Competency in performing a complete history and physical examination is assessed at the end of the pre-clerkship period using standardized patients in an observed structured clinical examination (P-OSCE). Student attendance is expected in all skill-building sessions and sessions in which interactive learning, clinical reasoning, or collaboration are necessary for optimal learning.

In the pre-clerkship period (first eighteen months), there are no grades and there is no class ranking throughout medical school. While grades are not given and rank order not established, evaluation of students is an important part of the educational process. The faculty considers small-group teaching with formative feedback interchanges between faculty and students to be the most effective means of teaching and evaluation. Students should expect direct questioning in workshops and labs as an important adjunct to the evaluation process. The final decision of acceptable performance for a given course or clerkship is determined by the course/clerkship director based upon the successful completion of the assessments described above.

What Is The Yale System?

The students at Yale showed me examples of the relationships I wanted to cultivate during medical school. Additionally, the Yale System fosters a non-competitive atmosphere and a collaborative environment between its students, truly allowing for educational freedom as a student.

Free of Anxieties

Freed from the usual anxieties provoked by high-stakes summative examinations, students tend to learn for their future rather than for tests. Competition for grades is eliminated and students are eager to help one another. Class spirit is remarkably high year after year. Upon completing a course, all students are expected to submit a programmatic evaluation so that course/clerkship directors can make changes based on student feedback.

Students are encouraged to allocate their time to further their own interests, within the framework of the Yale curriculum. Some students pursue elective courses or a joint degree program in another school at Yale University, such as management, public health, divinity, or law.

Finally, the Yale School of Medicine requires each student to design, carry out, and successfully complete a research thesis, intended to foster the development of a lifelong commitment to learning.

Optional Fifth Year

Although the majority complete the program in four academic years, a significant number of students make special arrangements to study for an additional tuition-free year. This time may be spent in research at Yale, another university, or an institute abroad.

Overview of the STAR Awards

The NIAMS STAR program provides supplemental funding for early-career stage investigators who have renewed their first NIAMS-funded R01 grant. The supplement enables these scientists to pursue innovative and high-risk research within the broader scope of a current NIAMS-funded, peer-reviewed research project. It also helps investigators to expand a single, structured research project into a broader multi-faceted research program. In FY 2023, one investigator received a NIAMS STAR supplement.

Douglas P. Millay, Ph.D. , is an associate professor in the Department of Molecular Cardiovascular Biology at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and Department of Pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Dr. Millay is the principal investigator of a NIAMS-supported  research project to decipher the mechanisms of myoblast fusion —the process in which muscle precursor cells fuse together to form muscle fibers. Previously, the team had discovered that two proteins called myomaker and myomerger are essential for this process and that they drive fusion through distinct cell membrane remodeling activities. The STAR award will enable the researchers to identify additional novel factors that regulate fusion in skeletal muscle tissue. The findings from this research will provide unique insight into the essential process for muscle formation and regeneration, in the context of both normal development and chronic muscle diseases.

Just yesterday my student successfully defended her honors thesis on environmentalism around Lake Baikal, a project that would not have been possible without the fieldwork that she conducted on her SRAS study abroad program in Irkutsk. I hope to see more such projects in the future and will keep directing students to SRAS programs!

At Stetson, we’ve used SRAS to arrange all of our student study abroad trips for the past five or six years. During that time we’ve sent dozens of students on summer- and semester-long programs in Moscow, St Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Irkutsk. In every interaction I’ve had with them, SRAS has been prompt, reliable, knowledgable, courteous and quick to lend a hand when needed.

A guide to Moscow’s summer festivals

May 26, 2018 • 4 min read

Believe it or not, in summer Moscow usually gets rather hot. It’s also the season when the city is fully awake, with more events happening than at any other time of the year. Almost every weekend a new market, exhibition or festival takes place, making it pretty hard to choose which one to attend.

Of course, the highlight of this summer in the Russian capital will be the celebration of football, as Moscow gets ready to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup (from 14 June to 15 July) along with 10 other cities across the country. Nevertheless, over the years some big annual events have become an integral – and fun – part of Moscow’s summer culture. Here are our top picks.

Usadba Jazz at Arkhangelskoe

This iconic open-air jazz festival has been taking place in Moscow for over a decade, making it one of the city’s favourite outdoor events. The location is always the same – the gorgeous 19th-century  Arkhangelskoe Estate and its surroundings. Apart from some great classical and modern jazz, blues, funk, soul and world music, there’s a new theme each year: in 2017 it was ecology, introducing some local eco-designers and culinary artists to jazz-loving Muscovites.

Dates: 2–3 June 2018

Red Square Book Fest

This year Moscow’s annual book festival will be taking over the historic Red Square for the fourth time. The event celebrates the reading culture, introduces the best local publishing houses, and allows visitors to purchase books, attend masterclasses and listen to some well-known modern Russian writers. The program covers several themes, including fiction, non-fiction, ebooks, children’s and educational literature, antique and secondhand books, as well as Russian regions.  Famous Russian museums present their publishing projects and catalogues, and there are live concerts and performances throughout the festival.

Dates: 3–6 June 2018

Moscow Flower Show

Who knew Moscow could be a rose? Last year a new sort of rose was created just to celebrate the 870th anniversary of the Russian capital. This international garden festival is a paradise for the admirers of landscape design and all things green and blooming. Both recognised and up-and-coming landscape designers present their works and compete for the main prize, awarded by an international jury. And visitors get a chance to release their inner flower child.

Dates: 29 June–8 July 2018

Taste of Moscow

This international food festival   has been around for a long time, covering 19 cities of the world and gaining huge popularity in Moscow. The city’s 30 best restaurants will take part in the program this year, offering visitors their most renowned dishes and products. You can treat yourself to delicacies from one of the exclusive menus created specifically for the festival, attend degustations or learn how to cook from a professional chef. The interactive program will also include concerts, masterclasses, pop-up performances and children’s activities.

Dates: 26–29 July 2018

Much loved by both locals and visitors to the city, the annual Park Live rock festival has achieved international status in its six years of existence, treating the fans with performances from world-famous and local rock stars. Hosting Muse in 2015 has been the highlight in the festival’s history, while Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lana Del Rey, Limp Bizkit and System of a Down have also headlined. In 2018 revellers will have a chance to see David Guetta, Gorillaz and Massive Attack at the vibrant Gorky Park  in the heart of the city.

Dates: 27–29 July 2018

Afisha Picnic

Moscow’s biggest open-air festival is a summer rave for food and music lovers. Organized by Afisha magazine, it’s been expanding year on year, eventually moving from concert halls and stadiums to the vast Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve , a former royal estate and a Unesco World Heritage Site by the Moscow River. The organisers make sure there’s lots going on, so apart from multiple music stages you can find food stalls with local products, a designers’ market, gaming and lecture areas – all with a strict no-alcohol policy.

Dates: 4 August 2018

Times and Epochs

The ultimate historical festival in Russia expands with each passing year, taking over Moscow parks, recreational areas and some of the main streets. It brings together the best from the world of historical re-enactment, boasting more than 6000 geeky participants in 2017 (many of them from abroad). Soldiers, merchants, craftsmen, musicians all walk the streets in traditional costumes, performing or teaching the arts, crafts and games of the past. Best of all, the festival is focused on getting the audience involved in the lifestyles of different eras, from the Stone Age to the Soviet times.

Dates: 10–22 August 2018

Moscow City Day

Moscow turned 870 in 2017, and to celebrate the occasion, the city administration decided to host a 10-day festival under the slogan ‘Moscow is a city where history is being made’. With Russian avant-garde the main theme, dozens of events, lectures, performances and street markets celebrated the history of the capital as well as its prominent inhabitants. Plenty of music, food and modern art is always to be expected on the city streets during this time. Don’t miss the magnificent fireworks.

Dates: 1–10 September 2018
