DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): Although the Los Angeles metropolitan area is home to millions of African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians and Pacific Islanders, few are enrolled in graduate programs leading to the Ph.D. in the broad range of biomedical sciences. This under-participation in the nation's biomedical research enterprise represents the loss of a large talent pool that has not been applied towards the solution of the many biomedical problems. As a partial solution to this situation, four institutions in the Los Angeles basin propose to continue the collaborative Los Angeles Basin Bridges to the Ph.D. Program to increase the number of talented minority students in Ph.D. programs in the biomedical sciences. This would be done by increasing the transfer of minority students in strong terminal Master of Science (M.S.) programs at a minority institution by vertical integration into Ph.D. programs at major research universities. These institutions are California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA), a minority institution, which awards the M.S. as its highest science degree, and three Ph.D.-granting major research institutions: the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), the University of California at Irvine (UCI), and the University of Southern California (USC). We propose to train each year a group of six minority students pursuing the M.S. degree at Cal State LA in a program designed to enhance their academic and research achievement; integrate them into the broader Southern California biomedical research community; expose them to a broad range of biomedical sciences and scientists; enhance their transfer rate to Ph.D. programs; and establish the foundation for their eventual successful research careers in the biomedical sciences. On entry into the program the students would be simultaneously admitted to Cal State LA Master of Science programs, and conditionally accepted into Ph.D. programs in the participating doctoral institutions, with guaranteed admission on successful completion of the M.S. degree.

描述（由申请人提供）：虽然洛杉矶大都市区是数百万非裔美国人，西班牙裔，美洲印第安人和太平洋岛民的家园，但很少有人参加研究生课程，导致博士学位。广泛的生物医学领域。这种对国家生物医学研究事业的参与不足，意味着大量人才的流失，这些人才没有被应用于解决许多生物医学问题。 作为这种情况的部分解决方案，洛杉矶盆地的四个机构建议继续合作洛杉矶盆地桥梁博士。计划，以增加有才华的少数民族学生在博士学位的数量。生物医学科学的课程。这将通过增加少数民族学生在强大的终端科学硕士（MS）的转移来实现。项目在少数民族机构垂直整合到博士学位。主要研究型大学的课程。这些机构是加州州立大学，洛杉矶（加州州立大学洛杉矶分校），少数民族机构，授予硕士学位。作为最高的科学学位，和三个博士学位-授予主要研究机构：洛杉矶加州大学（UCLA）、欧文加州大学（UCI）和南加州大学（USC）。 我们建议每年培养一批6名少数民族学生攻读硕士学位。在加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的学位，旨在提高他们的学术和研究成果的计划;将他们融入更广泛的南加州生物医学研究社区;让他们接触到广泛的生物医学科学和科学家;提高他们的转移率博士学位。计划;并为他们在生物医学科学最终成功的研究事业奠定基础。在进入该计划的学生将同时被录取到加州州立大学洛杉矶分校科学硕士课程，并有条件地接受博士学位。计划在参与博士机构，保证录取成功完成硕士学位。℃下
