PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed MARC Program at Louisiana State University (LSU) will ensure the training of underrepresented (UR) minority, disabled or economically disadvantaged undergraduate (UG) students for research careers and leadership positions in the biomedical or behavioral sciences. LSU has emerged as a national model for advancing and promoting inclusion, equity, and diversity and improving the success rates of underrepresented students. The design of our proposed MARC program is based on evidence-based practices, previous experiences, particularly with the NIH/NIGMS-sponsored LSU IMSD program, which has supported 20 UG students/year (2004-2019), and guidance from nationally renowned faculty. In fact, five faculty at LSU, including the PI, Co-PI, and two of the Advisory Committee members, are recipients of Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM). The overall goal of the LSU MARC program is to provide high impact research experiences, mentoring, and advance professional and career development for students, enhance the pool of students from underrepresented groups who successfully enroll and complete Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees, and to further develop and sustain a long-term mentoring community of scientists. Our vision is that this program will produce highly skilled, competitive, motivated and productive young scientists who will fill a national need, and will expand LSU faculty mentoring, inclusion, and community outreach activities. The LSU MARC program will provide valuable biomedical research training and career and curriculum development for 4 cohorts consisting of 12 undergraduate scholars each through their junior and senior years. The five-year project will directly impact 60 total students. Program scholars will receive individual counseling and mentoring, research training, mentoring, and various other career and personal development activities. The four guiding objectives of the LSU MARC program are: (1) Provide high-impact biomedical research training opportunities to high achieving students from UR groups; (2) Improve MARC scholars' competitiveness through holistic academic, research, and social development and enrichment activities; (3) Prepare MARC scholars for research careers; and (4) Develop and sustain a mentoring community for MARC participants. The LSU MARC program will provide a holistic, student-centered spectrum of educational activities, training opportunities, professional experiences, and personal development, with the aim to increase student matriculation and persistence into Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. programs. Our proposed innovative strategies include expanded biomedical research opportunities at LSU laboratories and local research intensive facilities, research skills course, impactful mentoring training for scholars and faculty, summer research experiences, field trips/site visits, outreach activities, a Gulf Coast MARC Symposium and publication of MARC outcomes and best practices. The proposed MARC program activities are expected to have high impact at LSU and maximize the benefits for its scholars, faculty participants, and the community.

项目概要 路易斯安那州立大学 (LSU) 拟议的 MARC 计划将确保对代表性不足的人员进行培训 (UR) 少数族裔、残疾人或经济困难的本科生 (UG) 从事研究职业和 生物医学或行为科学领域的领导职位。路易斯安那州立大学已成为全国典范 推进和促进包容性、公平性和多样性，并提高代表性不足的人的成功率 学生。我们提出的 MARC 计划的设计基于循证实践、先前的 经验，特别是 NIH/NIGMS 赞助的 LSU IMSD 项目，该项目已支持 20 UG 学生/年（2004-2019），并得到全国知名教师的指导。事实上，路易斯安那州立大学的五名教师， 包括 PI、Co-PI 和两名咨询委员会成员，均获得过总统奖 卓越科学、数学和工程指导 (PAESMEM)。路易斯安那州立大学的总体目标 MARC 计划旨在提供高影响力的研究经验、指导以及推进专业和 学生的职业发展，增加来自代表性不足群体的学生群体 成功注册并完成博士学位。或医学博士/博士学位，并进一步发展和维持长期 科学家指导社区。我们的愿景是该计划将培养高技能、有竞争力、 积极进取、富有成效的年轻科学家将满足国家需求，并将扩大路易斯安那州立大学教师指导， 包容性和社区外展活动。 LSU MARC 计划将提供有价值的生物医学 为 4 个队列（包括 12 名本科生）提供研究培训以及职业和课程开发 学者们每个人都经历了大三和大四的岁月。这个为期五年的项目将直接影响 60 名学生。 项目学者将接受个人咨询和指导、研究培训、指导和各种 其他职业和个人发展活动。 LSU MARC 计划的四个指导目标是： (1) 为UR组的优秀学生提供高影响力的生物医学研究培训机会； (2) 通过学术、研究和社会的整体发展，提高MARC学者的竞争力 丰富活动； (3) 为MARC学者的研究生涯做好准备； (4) 发展并维持 MARC 参与者的指导社区。 LSU MARC 项目将提供全面的、以学生为中心的 一系列教育活动、培训机会、专业经验和个人发展， 旨在提高学生的入学率和攻读博士学位的毅力。或医学博士/博士程序。我们的 拟议的创新战略包括扩大路易斯安那州立大学实验室的生物医学研究机会和 当地研究密集设施、研究技能课程、对学者和教师有影响力的指导培训， 夏季研究经验、实地考察/实地考察、外展活动、墨西哥湾沿岸 MARC 研讨会和 出版 MARC 结果和最佳实践。拟议的 MARC 计划活动预计将 在路易斯安那州立大学具有很高的影响力，并最大限度地为其学者、教师参与者和社区带来利益。
