Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training Program at CSU San Marcos with UCSD and TSRI

项目总结 作为加利福尼亚州北圣地亚哥县一个年轻、快速发展的校园 圣马科斯大学(CSUSM)做好了准备，让有动力的学生从 研究生学习和研究职业的代表性不足(UR)群体。大号 南加州州立大学学生中西班牙裔(47%)的比例超过了非西班牙裔白人 人口(27%)。该校园是一个西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)。此外，54% 来自将是第一个完成大学学位的家庭，52%的家庭 佩尔助学金获得者。因此，南加州州立大学是快速增长的多样化学生群体的家园， 他们中的许多人都是低收入和/或他们家里第一个上大学的人。 加州大学圣马科斯分校博士研究培训项目的桥梁与 UCSD和TSRI(B2PhD)是专门为满足 南加州州立大学的学生人数。该计划将使用基于证据的做法来实现 以下8个目标：1)准备、招募和遴选有重要意义的学者 成功的承诺，2)提高数量和方法技能，3)提高 科学交流技能，4)让学生参与有意义的生物医学研究 这导致了论文和出版物(S)，5)培养知识、技能和毅力 要取得博士学位及以后的成功，就必须让学生接触到 经过文化验证的教学方法，以增加归属感和坚持不懈，7)准备 竞争激烈的研究生院申请，并缩短了攻读这两个学位的时间 硕士和博士学位设置。该计划为期两年。我们建议聘请8名员工 一年级的硕士学生，2-5年级的16名学生。 根据过去的成功率，我们的主要目标是为90%的CSUSM B2PhD学者提供服务 毕业后获得硕士学位，70%进入博士课程。作为一个整体， B2PhD项目与高度支持的校园环境协调一致，将为 来自UR小组的学生成为有思想的科学家，他们拥有知识、技能、研究 为他们在生物医学和医学领域的博士学习做准备的经验和特点 行为科学，这使他们成为未来科学和学术界的领导者。通过 通过这样做，我们将帮助推进国家卫生研究院的目标，使 研究人员。更多元化的研究队伍将更好地满足研究需求 促进一个多元化国家的发展，从而促进所有人的健康。

PROJECT SUMMARY As a young, rapidly growing campus in North San Diego County, California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) is well-positioned to prepare motivated students from underrepresented (UR) groups for graduate studies and research careers. A large proportion of CSUSM students is Hispanic (47%), which exceeds the non-Hispanic White population (27%). The campus is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). In addition, 54% are from families in which they will be the first to complete a college degree and 52% are Pell Grant recipients. Thus, CSUSM is home to a rapidly growing diverse student body, many of whom are low income and/or the first in their family to attend college. The Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training Program at CSU San Marcos with UCSD and TSRI (B2PhD) has been specifically developed to meet the needs of the student population at CSUSM. The program will use evidence-based practices to achieve the following 8 objectives: 1) prepare, recruit and select scholars who show significant promise for success, 2) enhance quantitative and methodological skills, 3) enhance scientific communication skills, 4) engage students in meaningful biomedical research that results in thesis and publication(s), 5) develop knowledge, skills and persistence necessary to succeedin a doctoral program and beyond, 6) expose students to a culturally validated pedagogy to increase belonging and persistence, 7) to prepare competitive applications for graduate school, and 8) reduce time to degree in both Master’s and PhD settings. The program is two years in length. We propose to engage 8 master’s students in year 1 of the program, and 16 in years 2-5. Our major goals, informed by past success rates, are for 90% of CSUSM B2PhD Scholars to graduate with their master’s degree and 70% to enter PhD programs. Taken as a whole, the B2PhD Program, in concert with a highly supportive campus environment, will prepare students from UR groups to be thoughtful scientists who have the knowledge, skills, research experience and character that prepare them for doctoral studies in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and that allow them to become future leaders in science and academia. By doing this we will help advance the goals of the National Institutes of Health to diversify the research workforce. A more diverse research workforce will better address the research needs of a diverse nation and thereby contribute to better health for all.
