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.

项目摘要 美国人口的多样性并没有反映在其生物医学科学的劳动力中， 在最高级别的学位获得和需要高级学位的职业方面，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， 为代表性不足的人群在本科和 研究生教育水平。科罗拉多丹佛大学（CU Denver）是一所独特的大学， 来实现这一目标。CU Denver（由丹佛市中心校区和Anschutz Medical Campus组成） 一所“博士生大学：高等研究经费”，经费组合为7.9亿美元，总经费为 在校学生19,395人。它是科罗拉多州唯一的公立城市研究型大学，也是美国最大的城市研究型大学。 CU系统中的多元化机构：在丹佛校区，至少58%的新生一年级学生认为 43%是少数族裔学生，43%是少数族裔学生。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本科生投资记录的基础。 研究和提高学生的成功成果，包括本科生的及时毕业， 他们在生物医学科学博士课程的过渡。CU Denver最大化访问的目的 这里提出的研究职业计划（MARC在CU丹佛）是为了继续这一卓越的记录， 通过以下方式进一步促进发展多样化和包容性的国家生物医学研究队伍 提供代表性不足，荣誉合格的本科科学专业的课程，结构化的培训 活动，指导和真实的研究经验，成功过渡到以研究为重点 生物医学博士课程。在先前的资金和机构支持下，丹佛大学花了近十年的时间， 开发，实施，评估和完善成功的培训模式，建立学员的科学 知识和科学思维能力，研究经验，沟通和网络技能， 归属感和健康技能以及职业发展技能。由于持续的机构支持和 一个成功的类似计划，一个新的MARC在CU丹佛计划将支持30名学员超过五年 使得90%或更多的人将在CU完成生物医学科学相关领域的学士学位 丹佛（80%或更多，在两年后加入该计划）和60%或更多将录取到博士 在毕业后的三年内完成生物医学科学课程，博士课程完成率为80%。 丹佛大学MARC的成功是通过对基础建设“前MARC”的机构支持来支持的。 一年级和二年级学生，学者健康和弹性培训和支持计划，并继续 外部程序评估丹佛大学的MARC范围通过直接的机构支持而扩大 额外的高级CU丹佛MARC附属学者。
