ABSTRACT The mission of the University of Iowa (UI) Initiative for Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) program is to develop a diverse pool of undergraduates who complete their baccalaureate degree and transition into and complete biomedical research-focused higher degree programs (e.g., Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.). While the overall diversity of the undergraduate population continues to increase at the UI, gaps in first-year retention and graduation rates persist for underrepresented (UR) minority students, economically disadvantaged and first-generation students. The proposed UI MARC program plan for training students directly contributes to NIH’s effort of increasing the diversity of the biomedical workforce, ensuring NIH remains a leader in scientific innovation and discovery. To meet this effort, we propose to transition the successful undergraduate initiatives currently in place in the UI IMSD program to the UI MARC program. Specific strategies for trainee development outlined in the proposal include: a mentored research training experience, evidence-based mentor and mentee training, professional development activities, and access to career counseling. To implement the proposed training plan, we have identified faculty and staff with expertise in several key areas. These include: undergraduate researcher training, doctoral training (including T32-based training), mentor training, career development, responsible conduct in research and reproducibility, science communication, quantitative fluency, and program evaluation. The UI MARC will continue to embed itself within the institution working with departments, units and centers across six colleges on campus to increase science cultural capital of UR students on campus. Successful interventions identified through the UI MARC program that are found to significantly enhance student researcher and faculty mentor development will continue to be disseminated on campus and through national networks.

抽象的 爱荷华大学 (UI) 最大限度地增加研究职业机会的使命 (MARC) 计划旨在培养完成学士学位的多元化本科生 学位以及过渡并完成以生物医学研究为重点的更高学位课程（例如， 博士或医学博士/博士）。 在UI，代表性不足（UR）少数族裔的第一年保留率和毕业率仍然存在差距 学生、经济困难学生和第一代学生 拟议的 UI MARC 计划。 学生培训计划直接有助于 NIH 增加生物医学多样性的努力 NIH 始终是科学创新和发现领域的领导者，为了实现这一目标，我们 建议过渡目前 UI IMSD 项目中成功的本科生计划 提案中概述的 UI MARC 计划的具体培训策略包括： 指导研究培训经验、循证导师和受训者培训、专业 发展活动以及获得职业咨询的机会 为了实施拟议的培训计划，我们。 已确定在几个关键领域具有专业知识的教职员工，其中包括： 本科生。 研究员培训、博士培训（含T32基础培训）、导师培训、职业生涯 发展、负责任的研究行为和可重复性、科学传播、定量 UI MARC 将继续融入该机构。 与校园内六所学院的部门、单位和中心合作，增强科学文化 通过 UI MARC 计划确定的 UR 学生在校园中的成功干预措施。 被发现能显着增强学生研究员和教师导师发展的项目将继续 在校园内和通过全国网络传播。
