Description:

The goal of the Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) program is to:

Strengthen research training environments, and 

Promote broader participation in the biomedical research workforce by expanding the pool of well-trained scientists (for example, encouraging the inclusion of individuals from underrepresented groups) who:

Complete their baccalaureate degree, and

Transition into and complete biomedical, research-focused higher degree programs (such as Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.). 

Specifically, this funding announcement provides support to eligible, domestic organizations to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to biomedical undergraduate training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the biomedical research enterprise. NIGMS expects that the proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the nation.

This program is limited to applications from baccalaureate degree-granting research-intensive organizations (that is, those with NIH Research Project Grant (RPG) funding averaging greater than or equal to $7.5 million in total costs (direct and F and A/indirect) per year over the last three fiscal years (FY)).
