Summary/Abstract The United States needs a strong, diverse workforce of Ph.D.-level scientists and engineers to meet emerging challenges to the nation’s health and to cultivate faculty and leaders who represent our heterogeneous national population. It is well known that when people from different backgrounds and experiences come together, their combined perspectives and creativity lead to new approaches to challenging problems. The purpose of the proposed MARC Program at the University of Texas at San Antonio is to recruit and train a diverse group of undergraduates who are from ethnic minority groups, are financially disadvantaged, or have a disability– all groups that currently play a minimal role in our national biomedical workforce. Our goal is that MARC training will allow them to undertake the highest levels of research training, leading to the award of the Doctorate in Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. Holding this degree opens the door to positions of great impact and responsibility in the biomedical research industry, government institutions, and our nation’s universities. The MARC trainees will be majors in Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, and Mathematics. To prepare future trainees, MARC will develop a ‘pre-MARC” population of excellent applicants and educate them about the Ph.D. careers in research, fundamental professional skills, help them connect with faculty, and guide them towards research experiences and the MARC program. MARC will provide financial support to trainees who enter as sophomores or juniors and complete the program as seniors, acquiring between two and three years of experience. MARC will offer a wide array of training workshops and experiences for the trainees and for additional “MARC-2” students who desire a Ph.D. but are not in one of the 24 MARC training positions. MARC training for students and their faculty research mentors will ensure that the trainees have a safe and welcoming laboratory experience; grow a network of peers, faculty, and former MARC trainees; develop the many research and professional skills needed to be strong applicants for PhD programs; learn modern computational techniques for working with data; and grow as leaders. Training workshops will guide the trainees through important events in their development, among them writing an abstract (summary) of their research so that they can present it at a scientific conference, making presentations in increasingly professional settings, completing their first application to another school to obtain a summer research position, and finally, successfully applying to, and interviewing for, Ph.D. programs. The MARC faculty, staff, mentors, and instructors have supported hundreds of underrepresented students in programs for over 20 years; scores of these students have been admitted to some of the most prestigious Ph.D. programs in the world. For this proposed five-year program, our main goals are for all trainees to graduate with their bachelor’s degree, with at least 80% of trainees continuing on the doctoral path, and 85% of these completing their programs and advancing to high-level careers in the biomedical sciences that will benefit all Americans.

总结/摘要 美国需要一个强大的，多样化的博士劳动力-科学家和工程师，以满足新兴 挑战国家的健康和培养教师和领导人谁代表我们的异质国家 人口众所周知，当来自不同背景和经历的人走到一起时， 结合的观点和创造力导致新的方法来解决具有挑战性的问题。的目的 德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校提出的MARC计划是招募和培训一个多样化的群体， 来自少数民族群体、经济困难或有残疾的本科生-所有 目前在我们国家生物医学劳动力中发挥最小作用的群体。我们的目标是MARC培训 将使他们能够承担最高水平的研究培训，导致博士学位的授予， 哲学（博士）℃下持有这个学位打开了大门，以巨大的影响力和责任的立场， 生物医学研究行业，政府机构和我们国家的大学。MARC学员将 生物学、生物医学工程、化学工程、化学、物理学、心理学等专业， 数学为了培养未来的学员，MARC将培养一批优秀的“pre-MARC”申请者 教育他们关于博士学位的知识研究的职业生涯，基本的专业技能，帮助他们与 教师，并引导他们对研究经验和MARC计划。MARC将提供财务 支持谁进入初级或初级和高级完成程序的学员，获得之间 两三年的经验。MARC将提供广泛的培训讲习班和经验， 学员和额外的“MARC-2”学生谁希望博士学位。但没有参加24项MARC培训 岗位为学生和他们的教师研究导师提供的MARC培训将确保学员有一个安全的 欢迎实验室经验;发展同行，教师和前MARC学员的网络;发展 许多研究和专业技能需要成为博士课程的强有力的申请人;学习现代 处理数据的计算技术;并成长为领导者。培训讲习班将指导学员 通过他们发展中的重要事件，其中包括写他们的研究摘要（摘要）， 他们可以在科学会议上展示，在越来越专业的环境中做演讲， 完成他们的第一次申请到另一所学校获得夏季研究职位，最后，成功地 申请和面试博士学位程序. MARC的教师、工作人员、导师和讲师 支持数百名代表性不足的学生在节目超过20年;这些学生的分数有 获得了一些最有声望的博士学位。世界上的节目。在这个五年计划中， 我们的主要目标是所有学员都能获得学士学位，至少80%的学员 继续攻读博士学位，其中85%完成了他们的课程，并晋升为高级职业 这将使所有美国人受益。
