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 support undergraduate students interested in pursuing research 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 well-prepared pool of highly trained scientists.

Why is this program important?

The Maximizing Access to Research Careers Program sponsored by the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences was established in 1975 to help develop talent and to increase the number of Ph.D. degrees awarded to various populations.
