项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Studies of minority access to higher education have generally shown that minority students have more barriers to overcome in matriculating than do non-minority students. In 2005, Delaware State University and the Neuroscience program at Drexel University College of Medicine formed a partnership to try to overcome barriers to minority students successfully entering and completing PhD programs. In 2006 they began a joint DSU-Drexel dual-degree MS-PhD graduate program in neuroscience that has seen its first students transition from DSU to Drexel in fall of 2008. The objective of the current partnership is to expand the dual-degree graduate program from just neuroscience the program to link all biomedical M.S. programs at DSU with the biomedical Ph.D. programs at Drexel Medical School. The project includes the following specific aims: 1) To increase the number of minority students graduating from DSU with an M.S. in biomedical science from 1 - 3 per year to 5 - 7 per year; 2) To increase the number of Biomedical MS graduates continuing on to PhD programs from 1 - 2 per year to 3 to 5 per year; 3) To strengthen the M.S. programs in the Department of Biology at DSU so that all graduates qualify for advanced status in Drexel's biomedical Ph.D. programs; 4)To increase the percentage of under-represented minority graduate students in biomedical PhD programs at Drexel from 9 to 20. A key component of the project will be upgrading the videoconferencing capabilities and infrastructure at DSU so that Drexel courses and seminars can be delivered effectively by videoconference. To meet these objectives, this program will build on the model of the successful neuroscience dual degree program and expand it to include two other Biomedical Ph.D. programs that train a large number of PhD students at Drexel Med: Molecular and Cell Biology & Genetics; and Microbiology and Immunology. A task force of DSU faculty and the faculty directors for the Drexel Biomedical Graduate Programs will meet to develop a curriculum for the M.S. component of the program that will prepare students to enter the PhD program with advanced status. Like the neuroscience program, the curriculum for the biomedical linked- degree program will include participation in classes, graduate seminars and other graduate program offerings at Drexel starting from the first semester that students are in the program. Like the neuroscience program, we plan that over the course of the program, DSU Biology M.S. students will take at least two Drexel courses through a combination of videoconferencing and live attendance, and that every MS student in the program will have a Drexel faculty advisor who will serve on his or her thesis committee. DSU Biology M.S. students will also have the opportunity to conduct lab rotation and thesis research projects in Drexel laboratories. By the end of the program we expect to have: 1) increased the number of students from underrepresented groups who enter biomedical MS programs with the intent to enter a PhD program and pursue a career in research; 2) established developmental activities that will help MS students in biomedical sciences more easily make the transition to PhD programs; and 3) strengthened DSU's graduate courses and research training to give students in biomedical MS programs the knowledge and skills that will allow them to be successful in PhD programs.
Public Health Relevance Statement: This program will help increase the number of minority students who enter and complete PhD programs in Biomedical Science by: 1) Creating a graduate education partnership between DSU and the Biomedical Ph.D. programs at Drexel University that will strengthen biomedical graduate programs at DSU, an HBCU; 2) Building the academic and research skills of minority graduate students who are interested in pursuing an advanced degree, but are not ready to enter a PhD program; 3) Fostering interest in pursuing a PhD by involving graduate students in research training and mentoring at a first rate medical school.
描述(由申请人提供):关于少数民族接受高等教育的研究普遍表明,少数民族学生在入学时比非少数民族学生有更多的障碍需要克服。2005年,特拉华州立大学和德雷塞尔大学医学院的神经科学项目建立了合作伙伴关系,试图克服少数民族学生成功进入并完成博士课程的障碍。2006年,他们开始了DSU-Drexel联合的神经科学硕士-博士双学位研究生项目,2008年秋天,第一批学生从DSU转到Drexel。目前合作的目标是扩大双学位研究生项目,从神经科学项目扩展到DSU的所有生物医学硕士项目和Drexel医学院的生物医学博士项目。该项目包括以下具体目标:1)将少数民族学生从DSU获得生物医学硕士学位的人数从每年1 - 3人增加到每年5 - 7人;2)将继续攻读博士学位的生物医学硕士毕业生人数从每年1 - 2人增加到每年3 - 5人;3)加强DSU生物系的硕士课程,使所有毕业生都有资格进入Drexel生物医学博士课程;4)将德雷塞尔大学生物医学博士项目中未被充分代表的少数族裔研究生的比例从9%提高到20%。该项目的一个关键组成部分将是提高DSU的视像会议能力和基础设施,以便Drexel的课程和讨论会可以通过视像会议有效地进行。为了实现这些目标,该项目将建立在成功的神经科学双学位项目的基础上,并将其扩展到包括另外两个生物医学博士项目,这些项目在德雷塞尔医学中心培养了大量的博士生:分子和细胞生物学与遗传学;微生物学和免疫学。DSU教师和Drexel生物医学研究生项目的教师主任组成的工作组将会面,为该项目的硕士部分制定课程,为学生进入高级博士课程做准备。与神经科学项目一样,生物医学相关学位项目的课程将包括从学生进入Drexel的第一学期开始参加课堂、研究生研讨会和其他研究生项目。与神经科学项目一样,我们计划在整个项目过程中,DSU生物学硕士学生将通过视频会议和现场出席的方式学习至少两门德雷克塞尔的课程,并且项目中的每个硕士学生都将有一位德雷克塞尔的指导老师,他或她将在他或她的论文委员会中服务。DSU生物硕士学生也将有机会在Drexel实验室进行实验室轮转和论文研究项目。到项目结束时,我们预计会有:1)增加来自代表性不足群体的学生进入生物医学硕士项目,意图进入博士项目并从事研究工作;2)建立发展活动,帮助生物医学硕士学生更容易过渡到博士课程;3)加强DSU的研究生课程和研究培训,为生物医学硕士项目的学生提供知识和技能,使他们能够成功地攻读博士学位。
