SCIENCE CAREERS FOR TOMORROW

描述：阿肯色州三角洲地区少数族裔人口较多 人均收入接近贫困线， 学术成就的记录。 阿肯色州医学大学 科学（UAMS）有参与计划的历史，以丰富 为该州这一地区的学生提供教育机会。 的 本申请的目标是建立一个持续的桥梁， 阿肯色州松海崖大学（UAPB），一个主要的硕士学位， 的博士UAMS的学位课程。 这些机构之间的桥梁 将通过促进合作研究和教学努力来发展 在两个校园，这将服务于硕士招生。毕业生 UAPB进入博士学位UAMS的学位课程。 以下具体步骤 将用于启动和监控桥梁：（1）建立 UAMS和UAPB之间的合作项目，使学生就读于 UAPB花时间在UAMS实验室，（2）增加教育机会 通过研讨会项目，旅行和课程工作为UAPB的学生提供服务 涉及UAMS教师，（3）促进UAPB的UAMS申请过程 毕业生，（4）制定一个有效的系统，为学生辅导， 咨询，（5）在UAPB建立生物医学科学硕士学位， 和（6）制定成功的标志，以监测该计划的进展。 假设是两个校区之间正在进行的合作研究 将导致一个计划，将是自我维持后，两年的时间， 这个提议的方案。

DESCRIPTION: The delta region of Arkansas has a high minority population which is near the poverty level in per capita income and has a very poor record of academic achievements. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) has a history of involvement in programs to enrich the educational opportunities for students in this region of the state. The goal of this application is to establish a sustained bridge with the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB), a major master level campus, to the Ph.D. degree program at UAMS. The bridge between these institutions will be developed by fostering collaborative research and teaching efforts on both campuses which will serve the recruitment of M.S. graduates from UAPB into the Ph.D. degree program at UAMS. The following specific steps will be used to initiate and monitor the bridge: (1) establish collaborative projects between UAMS and UAPB so that students enrolled at UAPB spend time in UAMS laboratories, (2) enhance educational opportunities for students at UAPB through seminar programs, trave and course work involving UAMS faculty, (3) facilitate the UAMS application process for UAPB graduates, (4) develop an effective system for student mentoring and counseling, (5) establish a masters degree in biomedical science at UAPB, and (6) develop markers of success to monitor progress of the program The assumption is that ongoing collaborative research between the two campuses will result in a program that will be self-sustaining after the two years of this proposed program.
