 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队伍中代表性不足的群体的博士学位持有科学家的数量，我们将创建M.S.博士学位作为牵头机构的肯尼索州立大学与博士合作机构格鲁吉亚大学、格鲁吉亚摄政大学和格鲁吉亚理工学院之间的桥梁。这些机构靠近美国30%的非洲国家。 美国人口和阿巴拉契亚的南部和中南部地区。我们将从HBCU和阿巴拉契亚服务机构招募参与者，这些机构尚未很好地融入NIH研究企业，以及其他来源，如桃州LSAMP联盟和东南部其他主要的本科院校。KSU的创新MS项目提供跨学科的21世纪课程和从事富有成效的资助项目的机会，并得到亲自活跃在实验室的研究人员的支持性指导。参与者将学习现代研究技术与尖端仪器，如光学生物传感，下一代测序和共聚焦显微镜。该计划规模小，灵活性强，足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的一系列学科的培训，以及跨学科的努力，可能会使参与者从高性能计算到微升规模的量热法。负责任的研究，科学写作，提案开发和其他专业方面的行为将深入覆盖。从他们的多发性硬化症开始。研究，我们将与参与者合作，帮助他们对博士课程做出明智的选择。我们的博士合作伙伴是格鲁吉亚（USG）大学系统的旗舰研究机构，渴望招募我们的毕业生，并提供数十个资金充足，高影响力的博士课程，从基础生物医学科学到生物医学工程到临床研究。将利用所有机构的研究人员之间的积极合作关系网络，为URM学生培养优秀的研究生教育，这些学生将在培养环境，高质量的指导和MS之间的平稳过渡方面提供尖端培训。和博士程序. KSU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博士的数量。科学家
