Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) programs are aimed to increase diversity in science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine (STEMM) fields. However, limited programs and eligibility requirements limit the students who may apply to similar programs. At Winston-Salem State University, we piloted a series of workshops, collectively termed to emulate some of the key aspects of MARC programs. Following the workshop, students showed a significant increase in their understanding of essential educational development skills, such as writing personal statements, applying to graduate school, studying for the GRE, and seeking summer internships. This suggests may be a potential lower cost comparable option than MARC to make up for current deficiencies in preparedness for graduate school. We also provide educational materials from including a clear framework for this seminar series, six ready-made PowerPoints to share with trainees that have been demonstrated to be effective.
最大化科研职业准入机会（MARC）项目旨在增加科学、技术、工程、数学和医学（STEMM）领域的多样性。然而，项目数量有限且资格要求限制了可能申请类似项目的学生。在温斯顿 - 塞勒姆州立大学，我们开展了一系列研讨会，统称为[研讨会名称未给出]，以效仿MARC项目的一些关键方面。研讨会结束后，学生们在对基本教育发展技能的理解上有了显著提高，比如撰写个人陈述、申请研究生院校、备考研究生入学考试（GRE）以及寻找暑期实习。这表明[研讨会名称未给出]可能是一种成本更低的可比选项，相较于MARC项目，可弥补当前研究生院校准备方面的不足。我们还提供了来自[相关机构未给出]的教育材料，包括该系列研讨会的清晰框架，以及六个已制作好的、经证明有效的可与学员分享的幻灯片。
