What is MARC Nevada?
The Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) Nevada program, sponsored by the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences and established in 1975, is a program designed to help develop a diverse pool of undergraduates who complete their baccalaureate degree, and transition into and complete research-focused higher degree programs (e.g., Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.) in biomedical sciences. The long-term goal is to develop a diverse pool of well-trained scientists.
