Project Summary The VCU Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program seeks to build a T34 undergraduate training program for 12 trainees at Virginia Commonwealth University. This new program will build on the outstanding record of the current VCU R25 Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program. In support of the overall NIH/NIGMS mission and the overarching objective of this T34 mechanism, we have designed an innovative, intentional, and evidence-based training program focused on developing the next generation of the US scientific workforce. VCU MARC will be grounded in promoting a sense of belonging and science self-efficacy. Our overarching goal is to create a community of like-minded peers who are confident, strong, and have the appropriate skills to become ethical and rigorous young scientists ready to succeed in graduate education. VCU offers an ideal institutional context for a MARC training program. Over 4500 of our biomedically relevant undergraduate majors classify as coming from UR populations. As an R1 Doctoral University with very high research activity and an MSI institution, VCU is uniquely well-placed to succeed with MARC. VCU has a deep commitment to undergraduate education (top 50 for BS degrees to African Americans), research (#56 in Public University Federal Research Expenditures), and an institution- wide commitment to inclusive excellence, as reflected in our university and research strategic plans. The VCU MARC program strongly emphasizes mentorship requiring faculty preceptors to participate in training focused on cultural awareness. The MARC program will prioritize developing the whole scientist. All MARC scholars will be Exposed to rigorous high-level research, gain Elevated research skills, and become Engaged in the broader biomedical research community. Alongside rigorous research and academic experience, MARC trainees will receive training in ethics, scientific rigor and reproducibility, safety, and health disparities. Our MARC trainees will receive extensive professional and career development preparation and begin to establish their first professional network. The institution-wide VCU program will have faculty preceptors from 4 different Colleges/Schools and undergraduate trainees from 8 majors, including, Bioinformatics, Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Life Science Engineering, Kinesiology, Physics, and Psychology. The outcomes for VCU MARC trainees will be: (A) 95% will graduate with a BS degree; (B) 80% will attain a final GPA ≥3.0; (C) ≥60% will enroll in Biomedical Ph.D. programs nationally; (D) ≥80% will be employed in the biomedical workforce.

项目摘要 VCU最大化获得研究职业的访问（MARC）计划旨在建立T34本科 弗吉尼亚联邦大学的12名学员的培训计划。这个新程序将建立在 目前的VCU R25计划最大化学生发展计划（IMSD）计划的杰出记录。 为了支持NIH/NIHMS的整体任务和该T34机制的总体目标，我们已经拥有 设计了一个创新，有意和基于证据的培训计划，重点是开发下一个 美国科学劳动力的产生。 VCU Marc将基于促进归属感 和科学自我效能。我们的总体目标是建立一个志趣相投的同伴社区 自信，强大，并具有适当的技能，可以成为道德和严格的年轻科学家准备 在研究生教育中取得成功。 VCU为MARC培训计划提供了理想的机构背景。超过 我们的4500个生物医学相关的本科大满贯归类为来自UR人群。作为R1 博士大学的研究活动非常高，VCU是MSI机构的独特位置 马克成功。 VCU对本科教育有深刻的承诺（BS学位前50名 非裔美国人），研究（公立大学联邦研究支出），机构 - 正如我们的大学和研究战略计划所反映的那样，对包容性卓越的承诺广泛。 VCU MARC计划强烈强调需要教职员工参加培训 专注于文化意识。 MARC计划将优先考虑整个科学家。所有马克 学者将接触严格的高级研究，提高研究技能并成为 参与了更广泛的生物医学研究界。以及严格的研究和学术 经验，MARC学员将接受道德，科学严谨和可重复性，安全性和安全性培训 健康分布。我们的MARC学员将获得广泛的专业和职业发展 准备并开始建立他们的第一个专业网络。整个机构的VCU计划将 有来自4个不同学院/学校的教师主持人，以及来自8个专业的本科学员， 包括生物信息学，生物学，生物医学工程，化学，化学生命科学工程， 运动学，物理学和心理学。 VCU MARC学员的结果将是：（a）95％将毕业 具有BS学位； （b）80％将获得最终的GPA≥3.0； （c）≥60％将参加生物医学博士学位。程序 全国（d）≥80％将用于生物医学劳动力。
