Project Summary The VCU Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program seeks to build a T34 undergraduate training program for 12 trainees at Virginia Commonwealth University. This new program will build on the outstanding record of the current VCU R25 Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program. In support of the overall NIH/NIGMS mission and the overarching objective of this T34 mechanism, we have designed an innovative, intentional, and evidence-based training program focused on developing the next generation of the US scientific workforce. VCU MARC will be grounded in promoting a sense of belonging and science self-efficacy. Our overarching goal is to create a community of like-minded peers who are confident, strong, and have the appropriate skills to become ethical and rigorous young scientists ready to succeed in graduate education. VCU offers an ideal institutional context for a MARC training program. Over 4500 of our biomedically relevant undergraduate majors classify as coming from UR populations. As an R1 Doctoral University with very high research activity and an MSI institution, VCU is uniquely well-placed to succeed with MARC. VCU has a deep commitment to undergraduate education (top 50 for BS degrees to African Americans), research (#56 in Public University Federal Research Expenditures), and an institution- wide commitment to inclusive excellence, as reflected in our university and research strategic plans. The VCU MARC program strongly emphasizes mentorship requiring faculty preceptors to participate in training focused on cultural awareness. The MARC program will prioritize developing the whole scientist. All MARC scholars will be Exposed to rigorous high-level research, gain Elevated research skills, and become Engaged in the broader biomedical research community. Alongside rigorous research and academic experience, MARC trainees will receive training in ethics, scientific rigor and reproducibility, safety, and health disparities. Our MARC trainees will receive extensive professional and career development preparation and begin to establish their first professional network. The institution-wide VCU program will have faculty preceptors from 4 different Colleges/Schools and undergraduate trainees from 8 majors, including, Bioinformatics, Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Life Science Engineering, Kinesiology, Physics, and Psychology. The outcomes for VCU MARC trainees will be: (A) 95% will graduate with a BS degree; (B) 80% will attain a final GPA ≥3.0; (C) ≥60% will enroll in Biomedical Ph.D. programs nationally; (D) ≥80% will be employed in the biomedical workforce.

项目摘要 VCU最大限度地获得研究职业(MARC)计划寻求建立一个T34本科生 弗吉尼亚联邦大学12名学员的培训计划。这一新计划将建立在 当前VCU R25计划最大限度地促进学生发展(IMSD)计划的杰出记录。 为了支持NIH/NIGMS的总体任务和T34机制的总体目标，我们已经 设计了创新的、有目的的、以证据为基础的培训计划，重点是开发下一代 美国科学工作者的一代。VCU Marc将立足于促进归属感 和科学自我效能感。我们的首要目标是创建一个由志同道合的同龄人组成的社区 自信，坚强，并有适当的技能，成为有道德和严谨的年轻科学家准备 办好研究生教育。VCU为MARC培训计划提供了理想的机构环境。完毕 我们4500个与生物医学相关的本科专业被归类为来自UR人群。作为R1 拥有非常高的研究活动和MSI机构的博士大学，VCU是唯一处于有利地位的 和马克一起取得成功。VCU对本科教育有着深厚的承诺(前50名的理学士学位到 非裔美国人)，研究(在公立大学联邦研究支出中排名第56)，以及一个机构- 广泛致力于包容性卓越，这反映在我们的大学和研究战略计划中。这个 VCU MARC项目强烈强调导师制，要求教师参与培训 注重文化意识。MARC计划将优先发展整个科学家。所有MARC 学者将接触到严谨的高水平研究，获得提升的研究技能，并成为 参与了更广泛的生物医学研究社区。除了严谨的研究和学术 经验，MARC受训人员将接受道德、科学严谨性和重复性、安全性和 健康差距。我们的MARC学员将获得广泛的职业和职业发展 准备并开始建立他们的第一个专业网络。机构范围的VCU计划将 有来自4个不同学院的教员和来自8个专业的本科生， 包括，生物信息学，生物学，生物医学工程，化学，化学生命科学工程， 运动学、物理学和心理学。VCU Marc实习生的结果将是：(A)95%将毕业 拥有学士学位；(B)80%的人将获得最终的GPA≥3.0；(C)≥60%的人将进入生物医学博士课程 在全国范围内；(D)≥80%将受雇于生物医学劳动力。
