The proposed MARC at the University of Nevada, Reno (MARC at UNR) will support diverse cohorts of trainees drawn from the five College of Science programs that train the majority of UNR undergraduates in biomedical research: Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology & Immunology, Neuroscience, and Psychology. We are requesting support for five trainees in the first year of the program and ten trainees per year in subsequent years. Each trainee will be supported through their junior and senior baccalaureate years. The diversity of the MARC at UNR will be supported by the racial/ethnic diversity of institution-wide undergraduate enrollment at UNR (22% Hispanic/Latinx, 3% Black/African American) and College of Science enrollment of over 50% underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research. Currently, training support for these students is limited. The College of Science graduates 180 underrepresented students annually who have access to fewer than 16 training positions supported by the UNR McNair program and an NINDS R25. The research training of the trainees will be supported by extramural research awards held by our 30 Participating Faculty: $12 M in research funding from the NIH, NSF, and other agencies (mean=$403 K, median=$293 K per Trainer/Mentor). The MARC at UNR will complete the following objectives: 1) We will partner with UNR Advising and other diversity-enhancing programs to encourage students underrepresented in research to form an interest group/club that will serve as a “point of contact” through which our programs will inform underrepresented freshman and sophomores about opportunities for predoctoral graduate training, provide direction and access to mentoring and research opportunities, and support applications to our programs. 2) We will implement an Enrichment Program that will prepare the trainees to apply to, enter, and succeed in predoctoral studies in research-intensive institutions through hands-on training in laboratory safety, weekly seminar/discussion classes providing peer support in the preparation of applications for summer research, for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP), and for predoctoral graduate training. The Enrichment Program also includes regular and repeated exposure to concepts in the Responsible Conduct of Research and in Methods to Enhance Reproducibility in both didactic and discussion courses. 3) We will provide two years of formal, sustained mentoring support for our trainees using a Matrix Mentoring Model that includes trained faculty Trainer/Mentors, graduate student near-peer mentors, peer MARC trainees, self-mentoring, and staff mentoring. 4) We will provide mentored biomedical and behavioral research experiences to support applications to graduate programs in biomedical or behavioral research at research-intensive (T32) institutions. In addition, we will increase transparency by making information on program policies and recruitment activities, admissions, and post-training career outcomes of the graduates from the training program publicly available.

内华达大学里诺（UNR的Marc）拟议的MARC将支持潜水员队列 从五个学院的学院学员中学的学员培训大多数UNR本科生 生物医学研究：生物学，化学，微生物学和免疫学，神经科学和心理学。我们是 在该计划的第一年请求支持五名学员和随后的十名学员 年。每个学员将通过初级和高级学士学位的年份得到支持。多样性 UNR的Marc将得到机构范围内本科入学率的种族/种族多样性的支持 UNR（西班牙裔/拉丁裔22％，黑人/非裔美国人3％）和50％以上的科学学院入学率 在生物医学和行为研究中的代表性不足。目前，这些学生的培训支持是 有限的。科学学院毕业生每年有180名代表性不足的学生，他们可以使用更少的人 超过16个培训职位由UNR McNair计划和Ninds R25支持。研究培训 培训将由我们的30名教职员工颁布的校外研究奖：$ 12 m in NIH，NSF和其他机构的研究资金（平均= $ 403 K，中位数=每位教练/导师$ 293 K）。 MARC UN UN将完成以下对象：1）我们将与UNIN的建议和其他对象合作 增强多样性的计划，以鼓励学生人数不足，以构成兴趣 团体/俱乐部将作为“联系点” 新生和大二学生关于培训前研究生培训的机会，提供指导和访问 为心理和研究机会，并支持我们计划的申请。 2）我们将实施 丰富计划将准备培训培训，以申请，输入和取得成功 研究密集型机构通过实验室安全的动手培训，每周的SEMIR/讨论 在为NSF研究生准备夏季研究申请时提供同伴支持的课程 研究奖学金计划（GRFP），用于研究生培训。也充实计划 包括在负责任的研究和方法中的定期和重复接触概念 为了提高教学课程和讨论课程的可重复性。 3）我们将提供两年的正式 使用矩阵指导模型，包括训练有素的教师，对我们的培训的持续心理支持 培训师/导师，研究生接近人的导师，同伴MARC学员，自我导师和员工 指导。 4）我们将提供指导的生物医学和行为研究经验以支持 在研究密集型机构（T32）机构的生物医学或行为研究中的研究生计划。 此外，我们将通过获取有关计划政策和招聘活动的信息来提高透明度， 培训计划的毕业生的入学和培训后职业成果公开。
