Thank you for your interest in the MARC program. After 45 years, and hundreds of undergraduates trained and launched into amazing scientific careers as doctoral level scientists, the MARC program has ended. We celebrate our students and their accomplishments and will continue to seek out ways to support the highly talented and dedicated future scientists.
Mentors are the foundation of our student training programs. We look for researchers who will provide our trainees with inspiration and encouragement as well as an excellent research experience. Mentors must be performing behavioral, biomedically- or chemically-oriented research and must submit a mentor application. M
Students
When you are seeking a mentor, you need to be aware that not all of these people have space in their labs to take a student.
To find a research mentor, check out the list of program approved mentors. See Finding a Research Mentor for hints on how to approach a researcher to be your mentor.
