    Overview

    The MARC (T34) grant program focuses on promoting broad participation in the biomedical research workforce. It supports eligible domestic organizations in developing and implementing effective training and mentoring programs for undergraduate students. The overarching goal is to expand the pool of students who complete their baccalaureate degrees and transition into and complete higher degree programs (Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D.) in biomedical research-focused fields. This initiative encourages outreach and recruitment of individuals from underrepresented groups to diversify the biomedical research sector. Training programs funded under this grant are expected to provide a robust curriculum that encompasses didactic learning, research experience, and career development elements, preparing trainees for impactful careers in health-related research. Only baccalaureate degree-granting, research-intensive organizations with substantial NIH funding are eligible to apply. The program underscores the importance of a broad exposure to biomedical disciplines, critical thinking, rigorous research methodology, teamwork, and effective communication skills, among others, to forge a path for trainees towards successful careers in the biomedical research workforce.
