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.

项目概要 VCU 最大限度地获得研究职业 (MARC) 计划旨在培养 T34 本科生 弗吉尼亚联邦大学 12 名学员的培训计划。这个新计划将建立在 当前 VCU R25 学生发展最大化计划 (IMSD) 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、有目的的、基于证据的培训计划，重点是开发下一个 一代美国科学劳动力。 VCU MARC 将以促进归属感为基础 和科学的自我效能感。我们的首要目标是创建一个由志同道合的同行组成的社区 自信、坚强，并具备适当的技能，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 培训项目提供了理想的机构环境。超过 我们的 4500 名生物医学相关本科专业被归类为来自 UR 人群。作为R1 VCU 是一所拥有非常高的研究活动和 MSI 机构的博士大学，具有得天独厚的优势 MARC 取得成功。弗吉尼亚联邦大学 (VCU) 对本科教育做出了坚定的承诺（学士学位排名前 50 名） 非裔美国人）、研究（公立大学联邦研究支出排名第 56）以及一个机构 - 正如我们的大学和研究战略计划所反映的那样，对包容性卓越的广泛承诺。这 VCU MARC 项目强调导师制，要求教师导师参加培训 注重文化意识。 MARC 计划将优先发展科学家的整体能力。所有机读目录 学者将接触严格的高水平研究，获得更高的研究技能，并成为 参与更广泛的生物医学研究社区。除了严谨的研究和学术 MARC 学员将接受道德、科学严谨性和可重复性、安全性和 健康差异。我们的 MARC 学员将获得广泛的专业和职业发展 准备并开始建立他们的第一个专业网络。全机构范围内的 VCU 计划将 拥有来自4个不同学院/学校的教师导师和来自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 拥有学士学位； (B) 80% 的学生最终 GPA ≥3.0； (C) ≥60% 将攻读生物医学博士学位。节目 全国范围内； (D) ≥80% 将受雇于生物医学劳动力。
