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.

项目摘要 MARC-WSU通过提供来自以下领域的优秀学员，增加了生物医学劳动力的多样性 传统上在STEM中代表性不足的背景，以及完成其 获得本科学位，进入研究生课程，并从事生物医学研究。 增加生物医学劳动力的多样性是调查全球健康差距的第一步。 美国，并提供创新的，有效的解决方案。MARC-WSU将提供一个支持性的环境， 将激励，使这些学员能够成为生物医学研究的未来领导者。 具体而言，该计划为学员提供技能，自我效能和文化敏锐性，以克服系统性 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.通过指导和咨询关系网络建立社区，支持受训者 不同的学术和职业目标。 2.通过研究技能课程增加受训者对生物医学研究文化的了解， 指导和专业发展讲习班。 3.支持学员的学术和职业目标，科学身份，适应能力和 作为专业人士的自信。 4.将学员的职业目标和价值观融入研究体验中。 5.通过独立工作、领导能力和同伴教学提高学员的自我效能。 6.提高受训者的口头交流、科学写作和科学陈述技能。 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，以发展科学理解 和批判性思维能力。 9.通过参加地方和国家研讨会并在研讨会上发表演讲来丰富研究经验。 10.增加申请和录取生物医学博士学位的人数 程序. 该MARC-WSU计划将衡量成功使用批判性思维，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学员进入博士级课程的入学考试， 生物医学科学，成功的职业生涯超越了博士学位的完成。机读目录的发展 WSU学员进入生物医学职业代表了生物医学的多样性增加的途径 劳动力，从而改善全国服务不足社区的福祉。
