Eligibility criteria
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a U.S. national, citizen or permanent resident who is a current or prospective student pursuing a higher education degree from a school with a substantial enrollment of minorities.
Description
MARC offers special research training support to 4-year colleges, universities, and health professional schools with substantial enrollments of minorities such as African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans (including Alaska Natives), and natives of the U.S. Pacific Islands. The branch's goals are to increase the number and competitiveness of underrepresented minorities engaged in biomedical research by strengthening the science curricula at minority-serving institutions and increasing the research training opportunities for students and faculty at these institutions.
