Description

-The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) will award Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U-STAR) National Research Service Act (NRSA) Training grants to eligible institutions as a means of supporting undergraduate research training to help ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to assume leadership roles related to the Nation s biomedical and behavioral research agenda. -The intent of the MARC U-STAR program is to provide competitively trained undergraduate science/math students from minority/minority-serving institutions the opportunity to engage in mentored research, develop the skills and knowledge to successfully pursue Ph.D. degrees and future careers in biomedical and behavioral research, and to strengthen the science course curriculum and research training environment at minority-serving institutions. -This program does not support short-term research training programs at minority-serving institutions of higher education. Note that programs solely for short-term research training should not apply to this announcement but rather the separate (T35) NRSA Short-Term Institutional program (see http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-05-117.html).
