# NEIU MARC Administrative Supplement to Enhance Undergraduate Biomedical Research Training

> **NIH NIH T34** · NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $68,039

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
Summary/Abstract of Proposed Project Long-term objectives: To enhance
undergraduate biomedical research training with training/curriculum modules that improve skills
in ethics related to the use of technology, quantitative/computational skills, and molecular
visualization skills to improve MARC scholars' competitiveness in admission to Ph.D. and
M.D./Ph.D. programs. Specific Aims: 1) To provide ethics training that addresses researchers'
growing data and technology capabilities; and 2) Provide trainees with
quantitative/computational tools and instruction, and molecular visualization tools and
instruction. Design, Methods, Key Focus: Aligned with the Parent Award, profoundly
transformative curricular enhancement is the key focus: 1) Ethics training enhancement with a
focus on the use of high level technology and sharing this technology globally. We will use
current and emerging research on practice with strategies for techno-ethical decision making; 2)
Hands-on use of up-to-date computational and molecular visualization software that improves
teaching and learning in key advanced level courses – Mathematical Modeling and Laboratory
Skills. PIs will develop curriculum and learning assessment protocols, to implement in the
existing MARC curriculum. The project will have a synergistic impact on other STEM programs
at the University through dissemination of activities and outcomes.
