 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To increase the number of doctorate-holding scientists from underrepresented groups in the nation's biomedical research workforce, we will create M.S.-to-Ph.D. bridges between Kennesaw State University as the lead institution and doctoral partner institutions the University of Georgia, Georgia Regents University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology. The institutions lie in close proximity to 30% of the U.S. African American population and the South and South Central regions of Appalachia. We will recruit participants from HBCUs and Appalachian-serving institutions that are not yet well integrated into NIH research enterprises as well as from other sources such as the Peach State LSAMP Consortium and other primarily undergraduate institutions throughout the Southeast. KSU's innovative M.S. programs provide interdisciplinary 21st Century curricula and opportunities to work on productive, funded projects with supportive mentoring from researchers who are personally active in the lab. Participants will learn modern research techniques with cutting-edge instrumentation such as optical biosensing, next generation sequencing and confocal microscopy. The programs are small and flexible enough to execute highly individualized development plans and offer training in an array of disciplines from synthetic chemistry to developmental biology and in interdisciplinary endeavors that may take participants from high performance computing to microliter-scale calorimetry. Responsible conduct of research, scientific writing, proposal development and other professional aspects will be covered in depth. From the beginning of their M.S. studies, we will work with participants to help them make informed choices about doctoral programs. Our doctoral partners are the flagship research institutions of the University System of Georgia (USG), are eager to recruit our graduates and feature dozens of well-funded, high-impact doctoral programs ranging from basic biomedical sciences to biomedical engineering to clinical research. A network of active collaborative relationships among investigators at all institutions will be leveraged to foster excellent graduat educations for URM students that will feature cutting-edge training in nurturing environments, high-quality mentoring and smooth transitions between M.S. and Ph.D. programs. KSU and our doctoral partners are uniquely positioned scientifically, geographically, demographically and culturally to succeed in increasing the number of URM Ph.D. scientists.

 描述(由申请人提供)：为了增加来自国家生物医学研究劳动力中代表性不足群体的持有博士学位的科学家的数量，我们将在作为牵头机构的肯纳索州立大学和博士合作机构佐治亚大学、佐治亚摄政大学和佐治亚理工学院之间建立从硕士到博士的桥梁。这些机构位于接近美国非洲30%的地区 美国人口和阿巴拉契亚的南部和中南部地区。我们将从HBCU和尚未很好地融入NIH研究企业的阿巴拉契亚地区服务机构以及其他来源，如桃州LSAMP联盟和东南部其他主要是本科生的机构招募参与者。科罗拉多州立大学的创新硕士课程提供跨学科的21世纪课程和机会，让他们在实验室积极参与的研究人员的支持指导下，从事富有成效的资助项目。参与者将学习使用尖端仪器的现代研究技术，如光学生物传感、下一代测序和共聚焦显微镜。这些项目规模小、灵活，可以执行高度个性化的发展计划，并提供从合成化学到发育生物学等一系列学科的培训，以及可能会让参与者从高性能计算到微升量热的跨学科努力。负责任地进行研究、科学写作、提案开发和其他专业方面的内容将深入讨论。从他们开始攻读硕士学位开始，我们将与参与者合作，帮助他们就博士项目做出明智的选择。我们的博士合作伙伴是佐治亚州大学系统(USG)的旗舰研究机构，渴望招收我们的毕业生，并提供数十个资金充足、影响深远的博士项目，范围从基础生物医学科学到生物医学工程再到临床研究。所有机构的研究人员之间的积极合作关系网络将被用来为URM学生培养优秀的研究生教育，其中将包括培育环境中的尖端培训、高质量的指导以及硕士和博士项目之间的平稳过渡。科罗拉多州立大学和我们的博士合作伙伴在科学、地理、人口和文化方面都处于独特的地位，能够成功地增加URM博士科学家的数量。
