This NIGMS grant supports eligible institutions in developing a diverse pool of undergraduates for advanced biomedical research degrees (Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.). The Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) program focuses on implementing effective, evidence-based training and mentoring. Proposed programs should integrate didactic instruction, research experiences, mentorship, and career development elements, preparing trainees for successful completion of higher degree programs. This opportunity is specifically for research-intensive domestic institutions with substantial NIH Research Project Grant funding, aiming to strengthen the national pipeline of diverse biomedical researchers.

| Description: | The goal of the Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) program is to develop a diverse pool of undergraduates who complete their baccalaureate degree, and transition into and complete biomedical, research-focused higher degree programs (e.g., Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D). This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) provides support to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-based approaches to biomedical training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the research enterprise. NIGMS expects that the proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, mentoring, and career development elements to prepare trainees for the completion of research-focused higher degree programs in biomedical fields. This program is limited to applications from training programs at research-intensive institutions (i.e., those with a 3-year average of NIH Research Project Grant funding equal to or above $7.5 million total costs). |
