MARC@UHM will strive for “Hoʻoulu nā laeʻula akeakamai”, a Hawaiian phrase meaning “good mentoring leads to well-trained scientists.” According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, the undergraduate (UG) student body and faculty at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) are the most diverse in the nation, but inequities persist. Only 8.5% of PhD candidates in STEM-related programs at UHM are underrepresented (UR) backgrounds. UHM has a rich pool of UR students who are not entering STEM-related PhD programs and therefore are not contributing their cultural diversity to our nation's scientific workforce. Thus, the mission of MARC@UHM is to provide training in biological research for a diverse group of UHM students, including Hawaiian/Part Hawaiian, other Pacific Islanders (Samoan, Tongan, Micronesian, Guamanian/Chamorro, mixed Pacific Islander), Filipino, Hispanic, African American; underrepresented Asians (e.g., Cambodian, Vietnamese, Laotian); those from disadvantaged backgrounds, including low social-economic and residents of rural outer islands; and students with apparent and non-apparent disabilities. MARC@UHM's objectives are to i) enroll 10 students annually and teach them to identify important research questions, design and conduct rigorous and reproducible experiments, and analyze data and interpret results, ii) provide each trainee with 4 semesters of mentored research and a summer research experience; iii) develop skills trainees need to be competitive in graduate school and in careers as research professionals, and iv) assist each trainee in applying to at least 5 graduate school programs early in the senior year. An estimated >900 UR STEM students in biomedical research are eligible for the MARC@Hawaii Program. The Training Plan starts with recruiting high school seniors entering UHM, especially those from the outer islands, to a Pre-MARC (The Ma Mua MARC) Program as freshman and sophomores. The Ma Mua MARC encourages UR STEM majors to consider research as a career option, invites them to attend MARC-seminars and functions, and creates a community of peers. The 2-year program from juniors and seniors begins with a summer workshop, “Let's get started” where trainees and research mentors are paired. The Plan includes: a 2-credit course each semester designed specifically for MARC trainees, 4 semesters of mentored research, a summer research experience (either at UHM or working with a collaborator of their UHM mentor at an external site), a short workshop, attending a national meeting annually, and presenting their research at professional meetings. Over 25 UHM faculty and 10 faculty at external sites with diverse backgrounds in ethnicity, age, gender, and rank will participate. The primary outcome measure is the number of trainees graduating with BA/BS in 4-years who transition to research-intensive Graduate Programs. Thus, MARC@UHM seeks to increase Hawaii's UR citizens who transition to research careers, as they bring diverse cultural backgrounds, life experiences, ideas, and interests to biomedical research.

Marc@uhm将争取“Ho'ouluNālae'ulaakeakamai”，这是夏威夷短语，意思是“良好的心理 根据高等教育的纪事，本科生（UG）的纪录是导致训练有素的科学家。 夏威夷大学马诺阿（UHM）的学生和教职员工是美国最潜水员，但 不平等仍然存在。 UHM中与STEM相关计划中只有8.5％的候选人的博士学位不足（UR） 背景。 UHM有一群富有的我们的学生，他们没有进入与STEM相关的博士学位课程和 因此，并没有为我们国家的科学劳动力贡献他们的文化多样性。那是 MARC@UHM将为一个UHM学生组成的生物研究培训，包括 夏威夷/部分夏威夷人，其他太平洋岛民（萨摩亚，汤加，密克罗尼亚人，瓜莫罗，混合 太平洋岛民），菲律宾，西班牙裔，非裔美国人；代表性不足的亚洲人（例如柬埔寨人， 越南语，老挝）；那些背景不安的人，包括社会经济低下的居民 农村外岛；以及有明显和非特征残疾的学生。马克@uhm的目标是 i）每年注册10名学生，并教他们确定重要的研究问题，设计和行为 严格且可再现的实验，分析数据和解释结果，ii）为每个学员提供4个 指导研究和夏季研究经验的学期； iii）发展技能学员需要成为 在研究生院和作为研究专业人员的职业中有竞争力，iv）协助每个学员 在高年级初至少适用于至少5个研究生院课程。估计> 900 ur茎 生物医学研究的学生有资格参加MARC@HAWAII计划。培训计划始于 招募进入UHM的高中生，尤其是从外群岛的高中生到马克（MA） MUA MARC）计划是新生和大二学生。 Ma Mua Marc鼓励您的STEM专业 将研究视为职业选择，邀请他们参加Marc-Seminars和功能，并创建一个 同龄人社区。大三学生和老年人的2年计划开始于夏季研讨会：“让我们开始 开始“在学员和研究导师配对的地方。该计划包括：每学期的2学分课程 专为MARC学员设计，4个学期的指导研究，夏季研究经验 （无论是在UHM还是与他们在外部站点的UHM心理合作者一起工作），一个简短的研讨会， 每年参加一次全国会议，并在专业会议上介绍他们的研究。超过25 UHM 在种族，年龄，性别和等级的潜水员背景的外部地点的教师和10位教职员工将 参加。主要结果措施是4年来与BA/BS成长的学员人数 过渡到研究密集型研究生课程。那样，马克@uhm试图增加夏威夷的ur 过渡到研究职业的公民，因为他们带来了不同的文化背景，生活经验，思想， 和生物医学研究的兴趣。
