Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Fellowship
Goals
Eligibility1) Increase the number of Ph.D. scientists from underrepresented minority groups who are engaged in biomedical research. These minority groups traditionally include African Americans, Latin/Hispanic Americans, Native Americans with tribal affiliation, and natives of the U.S. Pacific Islands (Guam, Samoa, Hawaii, etc.)
2) Strengthen science curricula and student research opportunities at institutions with substantial minority enrollments in order to prepare minority students for research careers.
