DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The Bridge to the Doctorate at UMET project aims to contribute to build the next generation of minority scientists in environmental biomedical sciences, with a higher expertise to study the environmental factors that influence the well being and health of the general community, and the necessary skills to deliver scientific understanding to their communities. The project will establish a support network between the School of Environmental Affairs (SEA) at Universidad Metropolitana (UMET) and the School of Public Health at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) to promote the transition of master's degree level students to doctoral (Ph.D.) level in the area of bio - environmental sciences increasing the number of minority scientists in environmental biomedical research. Students will participate in seminars and workshops in responsible research conduct, ethics, and policies. The project will expose students to a potential network of local scientists that can serve as role models in their biomedical careers. In addition, students will receive training in strategies and skills to achieve scores in the graduate school examination tests (GRE and TOEFL) that will allow them to enter the doctoral (Ph.D.) program in environmental sciences and engineering at UNC. The project will implement an in situ research summer experience at UNC for four (4) selected UMET SEA students with the potential to transfer to the doctoral (Ph.D.) program. The project will provide funds to student research (research salary, materials, and supplies) for the summer experiences and to complete the research for the master's degree thesis dissertation. It is expected that a total of 12 students transition, continue and obtained Ph. D. degrees in Environmental Sciences and Engineering at UNC. Also, it is expected that at least 30 students participate of each the six (6) student development activities sponsored by the project event for a yearly total of 180 students. Thus, for the duration of the project a grand total of 540 students will benefit from these development activities and will learn more about graduate studies in biomedical sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：UMET项目博士学位的桥梁旨在在环境生物医学科学领域建立下一代少数群体科学家，具有更高的专业知识来研究影响一般社区福祉和健康的环境因素，以及为社区提供科学理解所需的必要技能。该项目将在环境事务学院（SEA）（UMET）与北卡罗来纳大学Chapel Hill大学（UNC）的公共卫生学院建立一个支持网络，以促进硕士学位学生级别的博士学位过渡到博士学位（博士学位）在BIO环境科学领域的过渡，从而增加了少数群体科学家在环境研究中的数量。学生将参加负责任的研究行为，道德和政策的研讨会和研讨会。该项目将使学生接触到当地科学家的潜在网络，这些网络可以作为其生物医学职业的榜样。此外，学生将获得策略和技能的培训，以在研究生院考试测试（GRE和TOEFL）中获得分数，这将使他们能够在UNC的环境科学和工程学中进入博士学位（博士学位）课程。该项目将在UNC上实施原位研究夏季经验，其中有四（4）个选定的UMET SEA学生有可能转移到博士学位（博士学位）计划。该项目将为夏季经验提供学生研究（研究工资，材料和用品）的资金，并完成硕士学位论文论文的研究。预计总共有12名学生过渡，继续并获得了UNC的环境科学和工程学博士学位。同样，预计至少有30名学生参加了由项目活动赞助的六（6）个学生发展活动，每年总共有180名学生。因此，在项目期间，总共有540名学生将从这些发展活动中受益，并将了解有关生物医学科学研究生研究的更多信息。
