PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed MARC Program at Louisiana State University (LSU) will ensure the training of underrepresented (UR) minority, disabled or economically disadvantaged undergraduate (UG) students for research careers and leadership positions in the biomedical or behavioral sciences. LSU has emerged as a national model for advancing and promoting inclusion, equity, and diversity and improving the success rates of underrepresented students. The design of our proposed MARC program is based on evidence-based practices, previous experiences, particularly with the NIH/NIGMS-sponsored LSU IMSD program, which has supported 20 UG students/year (2004-2019), and guidance from nationally renowned faculty. In fact, five faculty at LSU, including the PI, Co-PI, and two of the Advisory Committee members, are recipients of Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM). The overall goal of the LSU MARC program is to provide high impact research experiences, mentoring, and advance professional and career development for students, enhance the pool of students from underrepresented groups who successfully enroll and complete Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees, and to further develop and sustain a long-term mentoring community of scientists. Our vision is that this program will produce highly skilled, competitive, motivated and productive young scientists who will fill a national need, and will expand LSU faculty mentoring, inclusion, and community outreach activities. The LSU MARC program will provide valuable biomedical research training and career and curriculum development for 4 cohorts consisting of 12 undergraduate scholars each through their junior and senior years. The five-year project will directly impact 60 total students. Program scholars will receive individual counseling and mentoring, research training, mentoring, and various other career and personal development activities. The four guiding objectives of the LSU MARC program are: (1) Provide high-impact biomedical research training opportunities to high achieving students from UR groups; (2) Improve MARC scholars' competitiveness through holistic academic, research, and social development and enrichment activities; (3) Prepare MARC scholars for research careers; and (4) Develop and sustain a mentoring community for MARC participants. The LSU MARC program will provide a holistic, student-centered spectrum of educational activities, training opportunities, professional experiences, and personal development, with the aim to increase student matriculation and persistence into Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. programs. Our proposed innovative strategies include expanded biomedical research opportunities at LSU laboratories and local research intensive facilities, research skills course, impactful mentoring training for scholars and faculty, summer research experiences, field trips/site visits, outreach activities, a Gulf Coast MARC Symposium and publication of MARC outcomes and best practices. The proposed MARC program activities are expected to have high impact at LSU and maximize the benefits for its scholars, faculty participants, and the community.

项目总结 路易斯安那州立大学(LSU)拟议的MARC计划将确保培训代表不足的学生 (UR)少数族裔、残疾或经济困难的本科生(UG)，用于研究和职业生涯 生物医学或行为科学领域的领导职位。路易斯安那州立大学已经成为 推动和促进包容性、公平性和多样性，提高任职人数不足的人的成功率 学生们。我们建议的MARC计划的设计是基于循证实践的，以前 经验，特别是NIH/NIGMS赞助的LSU管理和可持续发展方案，该方案已支持20个UG 学生/年(2004-2019年)，来自全国知名教师的指导。事实上，路易斯安那州立大学的五名教员， 包括非政府组织、共同非政府组织和咨询委员会的两名成员在内，都是#年总统奖的获得者。 卓越的科学、数学和工程指导(PAESMEM)。路易斯安那州立大学的总体目标 MARC计划是提供高影响力的研究经验、指导和高级专业和 学生的职业发展，增加来自代表不足的群体的学生池 成功录取并完成博士或医学博士/博士学位，并进一步发展和维持长期的 科学家的指导性社区。我们的愿景是，这个项目将培养出高技能、有竞争力、 积极、多产的年轻科学家将满足全国的需求，并将扩大路易斯安那州立大学的教师指导， 包容性和社区外展活动。路易斯安那州立大学MARC计划将提供有价值的生物医学 为4组12名本科生提供研究培训、职业生涯和课程开发 每一位学者都要读完三年级和四年级。这项为期五年的计划将直接影响60名学生。 项目学者将接受个人咨询和指导、研究培训、指导和各种 其他职业和个人发展活动。路易斯安那州立大学MARC计划的四个指导目标是： (1)为来自UR小组的高成就学生提供高影响力的生物医学研究培训机会； (2)通过全方位的学术、研究和社会发展，提高MARC学者的竞争力 丰富活动；(3)为MARC学者的研究生涯做准备；以及(4)发展和维持 MARC参与者的指导社区。路易斯安那州立大学MARC计划将提供以学生为中心的整体 各种教育活动、培训机会、职业经历和个人发展， 旨在提高学生进入博士或医学博士/博士课程的预科和毅力。我们的 拟议的创新战略包括扩大路易斯安那州立大学实验室的生物医学研究机会和 当地的研究密集型设施，研究技能课程，对学者和教职员工的有效指导培训， 夏季研究经验、实地考察/实地考察、外联活动、墨西哥湾沿岸MARC研讨会和 出版MARC成果和最佳做法。拟议的MARC方案活动预计将 在路易斯安那州立大学有很高的影响力，并最大限度地为其学者、教师参与者和社区带来好处。
