in May 1982, lectured at the University of Maryland from August
1982 to June 1983, and thereafter accepted a position as an
assistant professor at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania
beginning in August 1983.
In June 1985, petitioner applied to the National Institute
of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), a division of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), for a Minority Access to Research
Careers (MARC) faculty fellowship. The MARC program is a
division of the National Research Service Award (NRSA) program, a
program designed for the provision of grants for biomedical and
behavioral research or research training. The MARC program was
designed to provide research and training opportunities to
faculty and students at 4-year colleges that have a substantial
enrollment of students from underrepresented minority groups.
The MARC faculty fellowship is designed to strengthen the
research and research training opportunities of minority
institutions by providing an opportunity for eligible faculty who
lack the Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) to obtain the research
doctorate. The expectation of the faculty fellowship program is
that the candidate's training in a setting away from the
candidate's home institution would expose the candidate to new
ideas and would enhance the research and teaching environment of
the home institution when the candidate returned.
At the time he applied for the MARC faculty fellowship,
petitioner's home institution was Lincoln University. The
