PROJECT ABSTRACT MARC at Georgia State University (MARC@GSU) will create workforce diversity through honors undergraduates. GSU is the “right place at the right time” for a new MARC program; our institution offers an unusual combination of “research intensive institution” with over 50,000 students in a “minority-majority” population. Yet the institutional culture does not yet support impressive levels of alumni earning PhDs. A strategic thrust of MARC@GSU will be to leverage GSU’s growing number of state-of-the-art interdisciplinary undergraduate programs like B&B (Brains & Behavior), MBD (Molecular Basis of Disease), and IMSD (Initiative for Maximizing Student Development), as well as summer high-school programs like CTY (Catch Them Young) and ION (Institute on Neuroscience), to provide hands-on training, opportunities to cultivate life and professional skills, and gain in-person exposure to career pathways in biomedical and behavioral sciences. MARC will help us reach critical mass of support programs and training funds to change our culture. Out of almost 1,000 MARC-eligible undergraduates in biology, chemistry, neuroscience, and psychology, we will recruit 6-8 per cohort into our wrap-around programming grounded in four program objectives: 1) engage students in state-of-the-art research assistantships at GSU and externships at Harvard or Vanderbilt; 2) enhance the academic environment through honors-level course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), seminars, a futuristic biotechnology course, and honors theses; 3) promote scientific communication, psychosocial awareness, and technical skills through workshops, conference travel, maker projects, and professional stewardship; and 4) maximize comprehensive mentoring and individualized career support through NRMN mentor training. IDPs, professional field trips, and timeline planning apps will alert scholars to a diverse array of career paths in research and facilitate clear career planning. Per our evaluation plan, we will evaluate student progress toward internal dispositions that predict research careers (e.g. self-efficacy and science identity), and measure the NIH benchmarks of 90% of MARC Scholars completing bachelor’s degrees, 60% proceeding into PhD programs, and 80% of those completing their advanced degrees. A balanced pair of Co-Principal Investigators, with expertise in both education and bench science, is well-positioned to lead a diverse and enthusiastic team of four key faculty, and over 30 supportive and productive faculty preceptors, working with foundational support from the Honors College and a new Center for the Advancement of Students and Alumni (CASA) at Georgia State. Ultimately, MARC@GSU will prepare individuals from underrepresented groups for successful research careers, thereby helping to enhance the US research workforce.

项目摘要 佐治亚州立大学（MARC@GSU）的MARC将通过荣誉创造劳动力多样性 本科生。 GSU是新的MARC计划的“正确时间的正确位置”；我们的机构提供了 “研究密集型机构”与50,000多名学生的“研究密集型机构”的异常组合 人口。然而，机构文化尚未支持令人印象深刻的校友获得博士学位的水平。一个 MARC@GSU的战略推力将是利用GSU越来越多的最先进的跨学科 B＆B（大脑与行为），MBD（疾病的分子基础）和IMSD等本科课程 （最大化学生发展的倡议）以及CTY等夏季高中计划（Catch） 他们年轻）和离子（神经科学研究所），提供动手培训，培养生活的机会 和专业技能，并在生物医学和行为中获得亲自接触职业途径 科学。 Marc将帮助我们达成关键的支持计划和培训资金以改变我们的文化。 在生物学，化学，神经科学和心理学领域的近1,000名MARC资格的大学生中，我们 将招募每个队列6-8的招募到以四个计划目标为基础的环绕式编程：1）参与 GSU最先进的研究助理的学生和哈佛或范德比尔特的实习生； 2） 通过基于荣誉课程的本科研究经验来增强学术环境 （治疗），半人，未来派生物技术课程，并尊重这些课程； 3）促进科学交流， 通过研讨会，会议旅行，制造商项目以及 专业管理； 4）最大的全面心理和个性化的职业支持 通过NRMN心理培训。 IDP，专业实地考察和时间表计划应用程序将向学者提醒 研究中的各种职业道路，并促进了清晰的职业计划。根据我们的评估计划，我们将 评估学生在预测研究职业的内部处置方面的进步（例如，自我效率和 科学身份），并测量完成学士学位的MARC学者中90％的NIH基准， 有60％的人进入博士学位课程，其中80％的人完成其高级学位。一对平衡的一对 共同竞选研究人员，在教育和替补科学方面具有专业知识，具有良好的位置，以领导 由四个关键教师组成的多元化和热情团队，以及30多个支持性和产品教职员工， 在荣誉学院的基本支持和学生发展中心的基础支持下 佐治亚州立大学的校友（CASA）。最终，Marc@GSU将为个人准备不足的个人做好准备 成功的研究职业团体，从而有助于提高美国研究人员。
