PROJECT SUMMARY MARC-WSU increases the diversity of the biomedical workforce by providing meritorious trainees from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in STEM with the tools and experiences needed to complete their undergraduate degrees, matriculate into a graduate program, and pursue a career in biomedical research. Increasing the diversity of the biomedical workforce is the first step in investigating health disparities across America and providing innovative, effective solutions. MARC-WSU will provide a supportive environment that will inspire, enable, and empower these trainees to succeed as future leaders in biomedical research. Specifically, this program gives trainees the skills, self-efficacy, and cultural acumen to overcome systemic obstacles and flourish in the biomedical workforce. MARC-WSU will achieve these outcomes by: 1. Building community through a network of mentoring and advising relationships that support the trainees' diverse academic and career goals. 2. Increasing trainees' knowledge of the culture of biomedical research through research skills courses, mentoring, and professional development workshops. 3. Supporting the development of trainees' academic and career goals, science identity, resilience and confidence as a professional. 4. Incorporating the trainees' own career goals and values system into the research experience. 5. Enhancing trainees' self-efficacy through independent work, leadership, and peer teaching. 6. Improving trainees' oral communication, scientific writing, and scientific presentation skills. 7. Instructing trainees in safe and ethical laboratory practices, project management skills, hypothesis-driven experimental design, and rigorous data analysis. 8. Integrating knowledge from the classroom and the research experience to develop scientific understanding and critical thinking skills. 9. Enriching the research experience with attendance and presentations at local and national symposiums. 10. Expanding the number of underrepresented trainees applying to and matriculating into biomedical PhD programs. The MARC-WSU program will measure success using individual student progress in critical thinking, writing, and speaking skills, completion of advanced coursework in the sciences and engineering, the cultivation and practice of research skills, and the matriculation of MARC-WSU trainees into doctoral-level programs in the biomedical sciences, with successful careers beyond the completion of the PhD. The progression of MARC- WSU trainees into biomedical careers represents a pathway for increased diversity of the biomedical workforce, and consequently for improved wellbeing of underserved communities across the nation.

项目概要 MARC-WSU 通过提供来自以下国家的优秀学员来增加生物医学劳动力的多样性 传统上，STEM 领域的背景人员较少，但具备完成其所需的工具和经验 本科学位，入读研究生课程，并从事生物医学研究工作。 增加生物医学劳动力的多样性是调查不同地区健康差异的第一步 美国并提供创新、有效的解决方案。 MARC-WSU 将提供一个支持性环境 将激励、帮助和授权这些学员成为未来生物医学研究的领导者。 具体来说，该计划为学员提供了克服系统性问题的技能、自我效能和文化敏锐度。 障碍并在生物医学劳动力中蓬勃发展。 MARC-WSU 将通过以下方式实现这些成果： 1. 通过支持学员的指导和建议关系网络建立社区 多样化的学术和职业目标。 2. 通过研究技能课程增加学员对生物医学研究文化的了解， 指导和专业发展研讨会。 3. 支持学员的学术和职业目标、科学认同、适应力和能力的发展 作为专业人士的信心。 4. 将学员自身的职业目标和价值观体系融入到研究经历中。 5. 通过独立工作、领导力和同伴教学来提高学员的自我效能。 6. 提高学员的口语交流、科学写作和科学表达能力。 7. 指导学员安全和道德的实验室实践、项目管理技能、假设驱动 实验设计和严格的数据分析。 8. 整合课堂知识和研究经验以培养科学理解 和批判性思维能力。 9. 通过出席地方和国家研讨会并在会上发表演讲来丰富研究经验。 10. 扩大申请和入读生物医学博士学位的代表性不足的学员数量 程序。 MARC-WSU 项目将使用学生个人在批判性思维、写作、 和口语技能、完成科学和工程方面的高级课程、培养和 研究技能的实践，以及 MARC-WSU 学员入读博士级课程 生物医学科学，在完成博士学位后拥有成功的职业生涯。 MARC的进展- 华盛顿州立大学的学员进入生物医学职业代表了增加生物医学多样性的途径 劳动力，从而改善全国服务不足社区的福祉。
