DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The NCCU-WFU Biomedical Sciences Bridge Partnership is a Bridges to the Future initiative for the training of M.S. students in the Department of Biology at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) to continue in their Ph.D. training at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at Wake Forest University (WFU). Our goal to create and maintain a "research environment" at NCCU will be achieved by maintaining strong research programs through NCCU's J.L. Chambers Biomedical/ Biotechnology Research Institute (JLC-BBRI), by increasing awareness of the NCCU-WFU Bridge Partnership program among Ph.D.-directed candidates, selecting graduate students with potential for success, and nurturing them through laboratory research and research-related activities. Our goal to foster the "research thinking process" among graduate students will be achieved by promoting level Ill cognitive skills into coursework. Our goal to bridge students into an advanced position when entering the Ph.D. phase of their training, yet diminishing the social disadvantage, will be implemented by developing faculty research collaborations between institutions so that students can work on aspects of the project at both institutions, and by fostering joint programs between students at NCCU and WFU. The NCCU-WFU Biomedical Sciences Bridge Partnership proposes to take advantage of the unique research environment of the JLC-BBRI on the NCCU campus by making available to underrepresented minority students the dual environments of an active biomedical research facility and the HBCU community. To achieve these goals, we are requesting support for 3 graduate assistantships, tuition, health insurance, computers and travel to an annual scientific meeting for 3 M.S. students in year one, to increase to 6 students in year three. We are also requesting 3 years of support for a program administrator and office assistant at 25% effort each, and support supplies and travel cost related to the administration of this program. Support of students via the NCCU-WFU Biomedical Sciences Bridge Partnership will solidify the existing effective inter-institutional partnership between NCCU and WFU that will improve the quantity, but more importantly, the quality, of the next generation of underrepresented minority scientists in the U.S.

描述（由申请人提供）：NCCU-WFU生物医学科学桥梁合作伙伴关系是一个桥梁到未来的倡议，用于培训M.S.北卡罗来纳州中央大学生物系的学生继续攻读博士学位。在维克森林大学（WFU）生理学和药理学系接受培训。我们的目标是创造和维持一个“研究环境”在NCCU将通过保持强大的研究计划，通过NCCU的J.L.钱伯斯生物医学/生物技术研究所（JLC-BBRI），通过提高NCCU-WFU桥梁伙伴关系计划的认识，指导候选人，选择有成功潜力的研究生，并通过实验室研究和研究相关活动培养他们。我们的目标，以促进研究生的“研究思维过程”将通过促进水平III的认知技能到课程。我们的目标是桥梁学生进入先进的位置时，进入博士学位。他们的培训阶段，但减少社会劣势，将通过发展机构之间的教师研究合作，使学生可以在两个机构的项目方面的工作，并通过促进学生在NCCU和WFU之间的联合计划。NCCU-WFU生物医学科学桥梁伙伴关系建议利用NCCU校园JLC-BBRI独特的研究环境，为代表性不足的少数民族学生提供积极的生物医学研究设施和HBCU社区的双重环境。为了实现这些目标，我们要求支持3个研究生助学金，学费，医疗保险，计算机和旅行到3个硕士年度科学会议。学生在第一年，增加到6名学生在第三年。我们还要求为项目管理员和办公室助理提供3年的支持，每人25%的努力，以及与该项目管理相关的支持用品和差旅费。通过NCCU-WFU生物医学科学桥梁合作伙伴关系对学生的支持将巩固NCCU和WFU之间现有的有效机构间合作伙伴关系，这将提高美国下一代代表性不足的少数族裔科学家的数量，但更重要的是提高他们的质量
