Opportunity Summary:
The MARC Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U STAR) Institutional NRSA Training Grant (T34) is a National Institutes of Health opportunity, administered through the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), designed to support structured undergraduate research training at eligible U.S. institutions. Its central goal is to strengthen the pipeline of well-trained, diverse future scientists by giving undergraduates in science and mathematics fields sustained, high-quality, mentored research experiences that prepare them to pursue Ph.D. programs and long-term careers in biomedical and behavioral research. In addition to training individual students, the program is also intended to enhance the broader undergraduate research training environment at minority-serving institutions, including strengthening the science curriculum and building institutional capacity for research training.
This funding is specifically aimed at institutions that enroll substantial numbers of students from groups that are underrepresented in the nation’s biomedical and behavioral research workforce. The program supports a coordinated institutional training structure rather than isolated student projects, with an emphasis on competitive preparation for doctoral study. The overarching theme is workforce development: the T34 mechanism is framed as a way to ensure the country has a strong and diverse pool of researchers prepared to take on future leadership roles tied to the national biomedical and behavioral research agenda.
Eligibility is limited to domestic, non-profit educational institutions, whether public or private, that offer a baccalaureate degree in disciplines related to biomedical and/or behavioral science and that meet the program’s emphasis on serving underrepresented student populations. The applicant institution must also have the on-site staff and facilities necessary to carry out the proposed training program effectively. Foreign institutions are explicitly not eligible to apply. Applications may be submitted as new proposals or as renewals, and renewals compete directly with new applications.
A key restriction is that this announcement is not meant for short-term research training programs at minority-serving institutions. Institutions seeking support only for short-term training are directed instead to the separate NRSA short-term institutional program under the T35 mechanism. In other words, this T34 opportunity is geared toward more sustained and structured undergraduate research training that builds deep preparation for Ph.D.-level study, rather than brief or seasonal training experiences.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity within the NIH funding structure, categorized under health-related funding activities and associated with CFDA 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The funding opportunity number is PAR-07-337, it was originally posted on March 26, 2007, and it lists multiple receipt dates (applicants are expected to consult the full announcement for the specific submission cycles and deadlines). The archived date shown is June 25, 2009, reflecting the lifecycle of that particular posting, though the summary purpose and structure describe the intent of the program as published in that announcement.
