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）计划旨在建立一个T34本科 弗吉尼亚联邦大学为12名受训人员提供培训。这个新项目将建立在 目前VCU R25倡议最大化学生发展（IMSD）计划的杰出记录。 为了支持NIH/NIGMS的总体使命和T34机制的总体目标，我们 设计了一个创新的，有意的，以证据为基础的培训计划，重点是开发下一个 美国科学劳动力的一代。VCU MARC将以促进归属感为基础 和科学自我效能感我们的首要目标是创建一个志同道合的同行社区， 自信、坚强，并拥有适当的技能，成为有道德、严谨的年轻科学家，准备好 在研究生教育中取得成功。VCU为MARC培训计划提供了理想的机构环境。超过 我们的4500个生物医学相关的本科专业分类为来自UR人群。为R1 博士大学具有非常高的研究活动和MSI机构，VCU是独一无二的， 成功的MARC VCU对本科教育有着深刻的承诺（BS学位排名前50位， 非裔美国人），研究（公立大学联邦研究支出排名第56位），以及一个机构- 广泛致力于包容性卓越，反映在我们的大学和研究战略计划。的 VCU MARC计划强调导师制，要求教师导师参加培训 注重文化意识。MARC计划将优先发展整个科学家。所有MARC 学者将接触到严格的高层次研究，获得提升的研究技能，并成为 在更广泛的生物医学研究界。除了严谨的研究和学术 经验，MARC学员将接受道德，科学严谨性和可重复性，安全性， 健康差距。我们的MARC学员将获得广泛的专业和职业发展 准备和开始建立他们的第一个专业网络。整个机构的VCU计划将 拥有来自4所不同学院/学校的教师和来自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， 运动机能学、物理学和心理学。VCU MARC学员的成果将是：（A）95%将毕业 具有学士学位;（B）80%将达到最终GPA ≥3.0;（C）≥60%将参加生物医学博士学位。程序 （D）≥80%将在生物医学劳动力中就业。
