NIH - Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U-STAR) National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grant (T34)
PAR-10-119

Program Summary

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 academic and 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 MARC U-STAR program is designed to have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the Nation by providing support  to students underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and improving their preparation for highly selective Ph.D. level training and future careers.  The program supports efforts to strengthen the science/math course curricula, pedagogical skills of faculty, and biomedical research training at institutions with significant enrollments of students from underrepresented groups.
 
UIC is restricted to one application.
