Savannah State University (SSU), a HBCU with 84% African American enrollment, submits a renewal MARC U-STAR program proposal to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in the biomedical/behavioral science workforce. The renewal proposal seeks to build on the foundations and successes of SSU’s current MARC training program (2012-2018). Over the past 5 years, the current MARC program has trained 13 scholars, of whom 38% to date have entered biomedical/behavioral science graduate programs (1 postbac, 2 MS, 2 PhD); other MARC trainees are still in the pipeline to the PhD. Continued renewal funding is needed to sustain the momentum created by the current MARC program, along with gains from SSU’s other recent NIH biomedical research training funding (RISE, NIBIB, and RIMI). The 5 year goals of the proposed renewal program are: a) 13 Honors MARC junior/senior scholars (juniors recruited by year 3/2/3/2/3) will be trained over the 5 year term, with 100% graduating with the bachelor’s degree; and b) 60% will enter biomedical/behavioral science PhD programs within 3 years of the BS degree, and of these 80% (6) will earn the PhD. The 60% PhD entry rate will be achieved and sustained through implementation of new strategies developed through a rigorous institutional assessment: a) Strengthen the quality of MARC trainees by strengthening the identification and recruitment of the highest-potential students who have genuine research career ambitions as evidenced by prior successful research experiences; b) Strengthen the quality of research training, through strengthened Scholar professional development and program evaluation conducted in partnership with research intensive graduate program partners; and c) Strengthen the quality of mentoring provided to MARC scholars by coordinating with graduate program partners and NIH National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) on mentoring and grants-writing training for SSU MARC preceptors, and by each preceptor developing postbac and other bridge strategies to ensure transitions to PhD programs. The overriding goal of the new strategies is to focus on the quality of the trainees, the mentors, and the training program, with 5 high-quality scholars each year matched with 5 high-quality mentors.

萨凡纳州立大学（SSU），一所拥有84%非裔美国人入学率的HBCU， 提交了一份更新MARC U-STAR计划的建议，以增加代表性不足的人数 生物医学/行为科学劳动力中的少数群体。更新建议旨在建立 关于SSU当前MARC培训计划（2012-2018）的基础和成功。超过 在过去的5年里，目前的MARC计划已经培养了13名学者，其中38%迄今已 进入生物医学/行为科学研究生课程（1 postbac，2 MS，2 PhD）;其他MARC 实习生仍在攻读博士学位。需要持续的更新资金来维持 当前的MARC计划创造的势头，沿着SSU最近的其他NIH的收益 生物医学研究培训基金（RISE，NIBIB和RIMI）。五年目标的提出 更新计划是：a）13名MARC荣誉初级/高级学者（按年度招募的初级 3/2/3/2/3）将在5年的期限内进行培训，100%获得学士学位; 和B）60%将进入生物医学/行为科学博士课程在3年内的BS 学位，其中80%（6）将获得博士学位。 60%的博士入学率将通过实施新的 通过严格的机构评估制定战略： 通过加强对最有潜力的人的识别和招聘， 学生谁有真正的研究事业的野心，证明了以前成功的研究 B）通过加强学者培训，提高研究培训的质量 与研究合作进行专业发展和方案评估 密集的研究生课程合作伙伴;和c）加强提供指导的质量， MARC学者通过与研究生项目合作伙伴和NIH国家研究 指导网络（NRMN）关于SSU MARC指导和赠款写作培训 教师，并由每个教师制定postbac和其他桥梁战略，以确保 过渡到PhD课程。新战略的首要目标是注重质量， 每年有5名高素质的学者， 配以5位优质导师。
