MARC at Colorado State University

Marc在科罗拉多州立大学 科罗拉多州立大学MARC的培训任务是寻找有希望的 代表不足(UR)的生物医学科学学生，并为他们提供严格的证据- 基础课程、有指导的研究实验室体验、协同社交网络、稳定 财政支持和有组织的个性化培训活动，以发展一批高度 将被高级生物医学科学学位课程录取的合格实习生。至 为了实现这一目标，我们将进行战略性的外展和参与，以招收代表 我们国家人口的多样性。个性化的学业成功计划将确保 为达到90%的MARC学生保留率和毕业率做好学术准备。我们会 通过在支持性培训中创建具有赋权社区意识的队列来实现这一目标 环境。所有MARC学生将在3年内从事假设驱动的实验室研究 并将完成两次暑期研究经验。每名实习生都将 由教师和同龄人组成的协同指导团队提供支持。口头和书面交流 技能将得到发展，成功将通过参加科学会议来证明， 向非专业公众进行宣传，出版手稿并资助研究金提案。Marc at CSU项目将在个人指导下培养职业生涯发展 发展计划和指导计划。致力于多样性和 包容性将鼓励、批评和帮助学员进行批判性思考；确定重要的生物医学 研究问题；以合乎道德、负责任和严谨的方式设计和执行研究。这个 CSU社会科学研究所将评估MARC计划的背景， 投入、流程和产品(CIPP模式)，以提供基于证据的评估，以指导 决策和计划改进。我们的首要目标是争取CSU 70%的MARC 学生将进入高级研究培训计划并继续在 生物医学研究。

MARC at Colorado State Univeristy The training mission of the MARC at Colorado State University is to identify promising underrepresented (UR) biomedical science students and provide them with rigorous, evidence- based courses, mentored research laboratory experiences, synergistic social networks, stable financial support and structured individualized training activities to develop a cohort of highly qualified trainees who will matriculate into advanced biomedical sciences degree programs. To achieve this, we will conduct strategic outreach and engagement to recruit students who represent the diversity of our national population. Individualized academic success plans will ensure academic preparedness to attain 90% retention and graduation rates of MARC students. We will reach this goal by creating cohorts with a sense of empowered community in a supportive training environment. All MARC students will engage in hypothesis-driven laboratory research for 3 academic years and will complete two summer research experiences. Each trainee will be supported by synergistic Mentoring Teams of faculty and peers. Oral and written communication skills will be developed and success will be evidenced through participation in scientific meetings, outreach to the lay public, manuscript publication and funded fellowship proposals. The MARC at CSU program will cultivate career-long professional development, guided by an Individual Development Plan and Mentoring Plan. Collaborative mentors who are committed to diversity and inclusion will encourage, critique and help trainees to think critically; identify important biomedical research questions; and design and perform research ethically, responsibly and with rigor. The CSU Institute for Research in the Social Sciences will evaluate the MARC program’s Context, Input, Process and Product (CIPP model), to provide evidence-based assessment that will guide decision-making and program improvement. Our overarching goal is for 70% of MARC at CSU students to matriculate into advanced research training programs and continue on to careers in biomedical research.
