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

项目总结 生物医学研究包容性与多样性的使命--在理科本科生中成长卓越 HBCU病理学项目(Bridge Up-HBCU)是为了建立一支生物医学研究队伍，反映 通过增加有才华的黑人博士和 医学博士学位课程。犹他大学致力于加强、维持和扩大STEM 培训和启动多元化研究队伍的管道。搭桥-HBCU将专门解决 黑人和其他代表性不足的人从本科生到博士培训的管道中存在漏洞 科学家。搭桥-HBCU将从与历史悠久的Black的合作关系中招收学生 学院和大学(HBCU)，同时将这些关系扩大到更多的HBCU。这些学生 表现出强烈的博士研究和内科科学家研究跟踪并将受益 从额外的研究密集型培训经验和专业发展中，增强他们的 成功过渡到顶级博士项目，以及他们在生物医学研究中的长期保留- 基于职业轨迹。为了实现这些目标，桥接-HBCU将提供关键建议 活动包括(1)全面的、有文化能力的职业生涯长期导师网络(2)体验 开展以假设为导向的研究；(3)科学和专业技能发展讲习班和 活动磨练较强的口头和书面沟通能力，增强自信和真实 科学的身份，并灌输成功的战略申请研究生院。建立在制度基础上 犹他大学致力于支持STEM公平、多样性的势头和基础设施 和包容性，沟通-HBCU将加强其学者的批判性思维和研究经验，制定 坚韧不拔的心态，坚持高质量的研究生课程，并成为领导力和 在生物医学职业轨迹上提供指导。

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.
