MARC & Professional Development
For more than 20 years, the FASEB Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program has promoted diversity in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, as well as the training and advancement of underrepresented minority students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty and scientists. We seek to provide access to resources and training that incorporate a variety of programs and benefits for these individuals. However, for FASEB and the individuals involved in the FASEB MARC Program, it is about much more than the resources, the training, and the access. It is about making dreams come true and reaching full potential.
FASEB MARC Program activities include:
- Grantsmanship training seminars at minority institutions and for junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows,and investigators
- Leadership development and grant writing seminars for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows
- Post doctorate Professional Development and Enrichment Awards for senior postdoctoral fellows and new assistant professors
- Travel awards for:
- Faculty/mentors and students attending FASEB Societies’ and other eligible scientific
meetings
- Poster/platform presentations by students and postdoctoral fellows at scientific meetings
- Junior faculty, postdoctoral fellow and graduate student participation in Summer
Research Conferences
- Travel/subsistence for undergraduate students participating in summer research experiences in the labs of FASEB society member scientists
- Diversity Program Partnership opportunities for FASEB Societies
-
Professional and career development seminars and activities at the Experimental Biology and other FASEB Societies’ annual meetings
