PROJECT SUMMARY The diversity of the United States population is not reflected in its biomedical sciences workforce, with the greatest disparities at the highest levels of degree attainment and in careers that require advanced degrees. Institutions of higher education have both the capacity and the imperative to address the structural barriers that create inequitable outcomes in degree attainment for underrepresented populations, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels of education. The University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver) is unique and uniquely positioned to meet this goal. CU Denver (comprised of the downtown Denver campus and the Anschutz Medical Campus) is a “Doctoral University: Higher Research Funding” with a funding portfolio of $790 million and a combined enrollment of 19,395 students. It is the only public urban research university in the State of Colorado and the most diverse institution in the CU system: on the Denver campus, at least 58% of incoming first-year students identify as students of color and 43% as underrepresented minority students. CU Denver's commitment to equity, lifelong learning, innovation, research excellence, and community care underlie its record of investment in undergraduate research and improving student success outcomes, including the timely graduation of undergraduate students and their transition into doctoral programs in biomedical sciences. The purpose of the CU Denver Maximizing Access to Research Careers program proposed here (MARC at CU Denver) is to continue this record of excellence and further contribute to the development of a diverse and inclusive national biomedical research workforce by providing underrepresented, honors-eligible undergraduate science majors with the courses, structured training activities, mentoring, and authentic research experiences necessary to transition successfully into research-focused biomedical doctoral programs. With prior funding and institutional support, CU Denver has spent nearly a decade developing, implementing, evaluating, and refining a successful training model that builds trainees' science knowledge and scientific thinking skills, research experience, communication and networking skills, sense of belonging and wellness skills, and career development skills. With continued institutional support and a record of success with a similar program, a new MARC at CU Denver program will support 30 trainees over five years such that 90% or more will complete their baccalaureate degrees in a biomedical science related field at CU Denver (80% or more in two years after joining the program) and 60% or more will matriculate into doctoral programs in biomedical science within three years of graduating, with an 80% doctoral program completion rate. The success of MARC at CU Denver is bolstered through institutional support for a base-building “pre-MARC” program for first and second-year students, scholar wellness and resiliency training and support, and continued external program evaluation. The scope of MARC at CU Denver is broadened through direct institutional support for additional senior CU Denver MARC Affiliate Scholars.

项目总结 美国人口的多样性并没有反映在其生物医学科学工作人员中， 在最高学位水平和需要更高学位的职业中，差距最大。 高等教育机构既有能力也有必要解决结构性障碍，这些障碍 为未被充分代表的人群在获得学位方面造成不公平的结果，无论是在本科生还是在 研究生教育水平。科罗拉多大学丹佛分校(CU Denver)独一无二，定位独特 为了实现这一目标。丹佛州立大学(由丹佛市中心校区和安舒茨医学院组成) 拥有7.9亿美元资金组合的“博士生大学：更高的研究基金” 招生19395人。它是科罗拉多州唯一的公立城市研究型大学，也是 CU系统中的多元化机构：在丹佛校园，至少58%的一年级新生认为 作为有色人种的学生，43%的学生代表不足的少数族裔学生。CU Denver对公平的承诺，终身 学习、创新、卓越的研究和社区关怀是其对本科生的投资记录的基础 研究和改善学生的成功成果，包括本科生的及时毕业和 他们过渡到生物医学科学的博士项目。CU Denver最大化访问权限的目的 在这里提出的研究职业计划(加州大学丹佛分校的Marc)是为了延续这一卓越记录和 进一步促进多元化和包容性的国家生物医学研究队伍的发展 为代表不足、有资格获得荣誉的本科理科专业学生提供课程、结构化培训 成功过渡到以研究为重点所必需的活动、指导和真实的研究经验 生物医学博士课程。在之前的资金和机构支持下，CU Denver花了近十年的时间 开发、实施、评估和改进成功的培训模式，建立学员的科学性 知识和科学思维能力，研究经验，沟通和网络技能，意识 归属感和健康技能，以及职业发展技能。在持续的机构支持和记录中 通过一个类似的项目取得成功，加州大学丹佛分校的一个新的MARC项目将在五年内支持30名学员 这样90%或更多的人将在CU生物医学相关领域完成他们的学士学位 丹佛大学(在加入该项目后两年内80%或以上)和60%或更多将被录取为博士 毕业三年内攻读生物医学专业，博士研究生毕业率达80%。 MARC在科罗拉多州立大学丹佛分校的成功是通过为基地建设提供机构支持而获得的 一年级和二年级学生方案，学者健康和复原力培训和支持，并继续 外部计划评估。CU Denver的MARC范围通过直接的机构支持而扩大 寻找更多的CU Denver Marc附属公司学者。
