Biomedical Research Inclusion & Diversity to Grow Excellence in Science - Undergraduate Program in Pathology for HBCUs (BRIDGE-UP HBCU)

项目摘要 生物医学研究的包容性和多样性的使命，以发展卓越的科学-本科 HBCU病理学项目（BRIDGE UP-HBCU）旨在建立一支反映 通过增加有才华的黑人申请博士学位的人数， MD/PhD课程。犹他州的大学致力于巩固，维持和放大干 管道，培训和推出多元化的研究队伍。BRIDGE UP-HBCU将专门解决 在管道泄漏导致从本科到博士培训的黑色和其他代表性不足 科学家BRIDGE UP-HBCU将从与历史黑人的合作关系中招募学生 学院和大学（HBCU），同时将这些关系扩展到其他HBCU。这些学生 展示了博士研究和医生科学家研究轨道的强大驱动力，并将受益 从额外的研究密集型培训经验和专业发展，提高他们的 成功过渡到顶级博士课程，以及他们在生物医学研究的长期保留- 基于职业轨迹。为了实现这些目标，BRIDGE UP-HBCU将提供关键建议 活动包括：（1）全面的、文化上胜任的职业导师网络;（2） 开展假设驱动的研究;（3）科学和专业技能发展讲习班， 活动，磨练强大的口头和书面沟通技巧，增强他们的自信心和真实性 科学身份，并灌输申请研究生院的成功策略。建立在体制基础上 犹他州大学的动力和基础设施，致力于支持STEM公平，多样性 和包容性，桥梁UP-HBCU将加强其学者的批判性思维和研究经验， 有弹性的心态，坚持高质量的研究生课程，超越成为领导角色， 在生物医学职业道路上提供指导。

PROJECT SUMMARY The mission of the Biomedical Research Inclusion & Diversity to Grow Excellence in Science – Undergraduate program in Pathology for HBCUs (BRIDGE UP-HBCU) is to build a biomedical research workforce reflecting the talent pool of our diverse population by increasing the pool of talented Black applicants for PhD and MD/PhD programs. The University of Utah is committed to fortifying, sustaining and amplifying the STEM pipeline that trains and launches a diverse research workforce. BRIDGE UP-HBCU will specifically address the leaks in the pipeline leading from undergraduate to doctoral training of Black and other underrepresented scientists. BRIDGE UP-HBCU will recruit students from partnership relationships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), while expanding these relationships to additional HBCUs. These students demonstrate a strong drive for doctoral research and physician scientist research tracks and would benefit from additional research-intensive training experiences and professional development, enhancing both their successful transition to top-tier doctoral programs, as well as their long-term retention in biomedical research- based career tracks. In order to accomplish these goals, BRIDGE UP-HBCU will provide key proposed activities that include (1) holistic, culturally competent career-long mentor networks (2) experiences to undertake hypothesis-driven research; (3) scientific and professional skill development workshops and activities that hone strong oral and written communication skills, enhances their self-confidence and authentic scientific identity, and instills successful strategies for applying to graduate school. Building on institutional momentum and infrastructure at the University of Utah that is dedicated to supporting STEM equity, diversity and inclusion, BRIDGE UP-HBCU will fortify its Scholars’ critical thinking and research experience, develop a resilient mindset to persist in high-quality graduate programs and beyond into a roles of leadership and mentoring in biomedical career tracks.
