ABSTRACT The MARC Program at Hunter College aims to increase the number of students from underrepresented (UR) groups in biomedical and behavioral research who enter and successfully complete PhD programs. Hunter College is a large public institution with an incredibly diverse student body, a large proportion of which is striving to overcome a variety of challenging socio-economic disadvantages. Our long-term goal is to increase the commitment of underrepresented students to careers in biomedical research, and to prepare them for successful entry into and completion of highly competitive PhD programs. We propose to utilize the strength and diversity of the Hunter College scientific research laboratories and academic programs to create an effective and supportive training and research environment for MARC scholars. The objective of this proposal is to provide interventions for UR undergraduates pursuing degrees in fields comprising the biomedical sciences and enhance their ability to have successful research careers and effectively communicate and work with multidisciplinary teams. Our rationale for this project is that successful completion of the proposed program will convey to students the technical and professional skills necessary to earn a PhD degree and excel as a biomedical researcher. Our programming will utilize the routes to building scientific self- efficacy and resilience among our MARC students. We will collaborate with the Hunter College’s Skirball Science Learning Center to provide academic support for UR students. We expect to accomplish our objective by pursuing the following three specific aims: (1) Create a robust MARC admissions pool, by leveraging Hunter College student engagement practices to identify and nurture interested freshman and sophomores. We will target students interested in scientific research for interventions that will increase the number of them who meet the course and GPA requirements for MARC admission, and cultivate their desire to pursue a career in scientific research. (2) Deliver high-quality student training, focusing on skills needed for successful STEM research, by providing MARC scholars with appropriate training opportunities at Hunter and other institutions. (3) Provide students with resilience training, academic support, and professional development by helping students hone the necessary skills and drive required to excel in their courses, develop strong self- identification as a scientist, and to thrive as a graduate student. Together, this will increase the number of Hunter College graduates (MARC and non-MARC) pursuing and completing a PhD in biomedical sciences. We will set a benchmark of at least 75% matriculating into STEM PhD programs after participation in the MARC Program, with 80% of those successfully advancing to candidacy in their PhD programs. Progress will be monitored via trainees’ individualized development plans and program evaluation efforts in collaboration with Hunter College’s Office of Assessment.

抽象的 亨特学院的MARC计划旨在增加代表性不足的学生人数（UR） 生物医学和行为研究的小组，他们进入并成功完成博士学位课程。猎人 大学是一家大型公共机构，有多元化的学生团体，其中很大一部分 努力克服各种挑战社会经济障碍。我们的长期目标是 增加代表性不足的学生对生物医学研究职业的承诺，并准备 他们成功地进入和完成了竞争激烈的博士学位课程。我们建议利用 猎人学院科学研究实验室和学术计划的力量和多样性 MARC学者的有效培训和研究环境。这个目的 提案是为UR的大学生提供干预措施，以涉及该领域的学位 生物医学科学并增强了他们拥有成功研究职业并有效的能力 与多学科团队进行交流和合作。我们对该项目的理由是成功完成 拟议的计划将向学生传达获得博士学位所需的技术和专业技能 作为生物医学研究人员的学位和出色。我们的编程将利用建立科学自我的路线 我们的MARC学生的功效和韧性。我们将与猎人学院的Skirball合作 科学学习中心为您的学生提供学术支持。我们希望实现我们的目标 通过追求以下三个特定目标：（1）通过利用猎人创建一个强大的MARC招生池 大学生敬业度实践，以识别和护理有趣的新生和大二学生。我们将 目标学生对科学研究感兴趣的干预措施，这将增加他们的数量 满足MARC入学的课程和GPA要求，并培养他们从事职业的愿望 科学研究。 （2）提供高质量的学生培训，重点关注成功STEM所需的技能 研究，通过为猎人和其他机构提供MARC学者提供适当的培训机会。 （3）通过帮助学生提供弹性培训，学术支持和专业发展 学生亲爱的，在课程中表现出色，发展强大的自我 标识是科学家，并以研究生的身份成长。一起，这将增加 猎人学院毕业生（MARC和非MARC）攻读生物医学科学博士学位。 我们将在参加后至少将75％成熟的基准设置为STEM博士计划 MARC计划，其中80％成功地进入了候选人的博士学位课程。进步将 通过学员的个性化发展计划和计划评估工作进行协作监控 在亨特学院的评估办公室。
