One American astronaut and one Russian cosmonaut have been chosen to spend one full year aboard ISS beginning in spring 2015. Training will begin next year.
The purpose of the flight is to see how the human body might respond to long spaceflights like what would be necessary to go to Mars. Of course, this project involves only two individuals, both of whom happen to be male, so the flight can only be a step along the way towards gathering the necessary data.
