BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES PROFESSORS FOR THE FUTURE

BRIDGE项目是由霍华德大学、普渡大学、伊利诺伊大学医学院（UICM）和领导力联盟的教师和管理人员共同制定的一项综合性多学科计划，旨在与3个联盟成员（摩根州立大学、特拉华州州立大学、汉普顿大学）建立学术合作伙伴关系，在一个名为“未来生物医学科学教授项目”（BPFP）的项目下，提供生物医学科学的终端硕士学位。BPFP的博士密集校区将提供博士培训菜单，供硕士终端项目的学生选择。联合硕士和博士教师将在学生委员会任职，并为完成硕士学位提供资源和培训。受训者将有机会在bpfp导师的实验室、其他工业和政府实验室、MBL和冷泉港的课程中进行过渡性研究，然后全职进入博士课程。博士学员将在整个博士课程中被跟踪，并有机会在其他BPFP大学项目中轮转，并通过MIRT项目在欧洲和亚洲领先的研究实验室进行研究。联合硕士院校将受益于与研究型大学的联合项目，教员之间的合作和密切互动，包括在硕士院校举办的交流、休假、短期课程、讲习班和研讨会。

The BRIDGE program is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary plan by faculty and administrators at Howard University, Purdue University, University of Illinois College of Medicine (UICM) and the Leadership Alliance to forge academic partnerships with 3 Alliance members (Morgan State, Delaware State, Hampton University) that offer terminal M.S. degrees in the biomedical sciences under a program entitled Biomedical Sciences Professors for the Future Program (BPFP). The Ph.D.-intensive campuses of the BPFP will provide the doctoral training menu from which students in M.S. terminal programs can chose. Joint M.S. and Ph.D. faculty will serve on the students committees, and provide resources and training for completion of the M.S. degree. Trainees will have the opportunity to conduct transitional research in the BPFP-mentor's lab, other industrial and governmental labs, course work at the MBL and Cold Spring Harbor prior to full-time admission into the doctoral program. Ph.D. trainees will be tracked throughout their doctoral program, provided opportunities to rotate through other BPFP university programs, and conduct research in leading European and Asian research laboratories through the MIRT program. The linked M.S. universities will benefit through joint programs with research- intensive universities, collaboration and close interaction of the faculty through exchanges, sabbaticals, short courses, workshops and seminars presented at M.S.-universities.
