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.

摘要 亨特学院的MARC计划旨在增加来自代表性不足（UR）的学生人数。 在生物医学和行为研究谁进入并成功完成博士课程的团体。猎人 大学是一个大型的公共机构，拥有令人难以置信的多元化学生群体，其中很大一部分是 努力克服各种具有挑战性的社会经济不利因素。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，并做好准备 他们成功进入并完成竞争激烈的博士课程。我们建议利用 亨特学院科学研究实验室和学术课程的实力和多样性，以创造 为MARC学者提供有效和支持性的培训和研究环境。的目的 建议是为乌拉圭大学本科生提供干预措施， 生物医学科学，提高他们的能力，有成功的研究事业，并有效地 与多学科团队沟通和合作。我们对这个项目的理由是， 该计划将向学生传达获得博士学位所需的技术和专业技能 作为一名生物医学研究员，我们的计划将利用建立科学自我的路线- 我们MARC学生的有效性和弹性。我们将与亨特学院的Skirball合作 科学学习中心为UR学生提供学术支持。我们期望达到我们的目标 通过追求以下三个具体目标：（1）通过利用亨特， 大学生参与实践，以确定和培养感兴趣的新生和新生。我们将 针对对科学研究感兴趣的学生进行干预，以增加他们的人数， 达到MARC录取的课程和GPA要求，并培养他们追求职业生涯的愿望， 科研(2)提供高质量的学生培训，重点是成功的STEM所需的技能 研究，通过提供MARC学者在亨特和其他机构适当的培训机会。 (3)为学生提供韧性训练，学术支持，并通过帮助专业发展 学生磨练必要的技能和驱动器需要在他们的课程中脱颖而出，发展强大的自我， 作为一名科学家，并作为一名研究生茁壮成长。总之，这将增加 亨特学院毕业生（MARC和非MARC）追求并完成生物医学科学博士学位。 我们将设定一个基准，即在参加完 MARC计划，其中80%的人成功地推进到候选人在他们的博士课程。进展将 通过学员的个性化发展计划和合作项目评估工作进行监控 亨特学院的评估办公室
