Research Project Area / Purpose: The Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Branch of the Minority Opportunities in Research (MORE) Division was established to significantly increase the number and competitiveness of underrepresented minorities engaged in biomedical research.  To facilitate the training and development of students, faculty, and/or researchers from groups underrepresented in the biomedical research enterprise of this nation, the MARC Branch will provide program-related support in three key areas:  a) scientific conferences, b) scientific short courses, or c) other well-defined ancillary training activities that further the MARC mission.
