两个主要的西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）之间的博士学位课程的桥梁 加州的中央谷被提议。该计划将帮助代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生 从加州州立大学，弗雷斯诺与完成硕士课程的生物医学科学 在继续攻读博士学位之前在加州大学戴维斯分校的项目。这项建议会 以主要研究主题、活动和设施为基础，包括少数民族机构的研究基础设施 弗雷斯诺州立大学、加州大学戴维斯分校综合癌症中心以及临床和 加州大学戴维斯分校转化科学中心。香港理工大学理学院及数学院的教职员 弗雷斯诺州立大学和生物医学研究为重点的研究生团体在加州大学戴维斯分校将创造一个高度互动的 培训计划。弗雷斯诺州桥梁博士学位计划的总体目标是增加数量 URM研究生进入并获得生物医学科学博士学位。该计划将 每年招收五名有兴趣从事研究工作的研究生，并提供 为每个人设计的学术和研究培训计划。主要目标包括： 通过多种机会练习他们的口头和书面技能，并与 其他同行;积极参与并出席国家/国际研究会议，以提高 作为一个研究人员的身份，提高自我效能和科学身份; 通过补充研究中的负责任行为，赞赏他们在研究中的负责任行为 (RCR)培训课程以及关于提高科学再现性的指导; 研究在加州大学戴维斯分校的研究密集型实验室为B2 D学生整合研究经验， 反映了他们在研究生院的经历。短期和长期目标是： 90%的B2 D学者提交了研究生院申请，其中一半的学生被录取， 研究生博士在生物医学科学计划在补助金的前五年（短期）;在未来 十年来，我们希望最大限度地（80%）我们的B2 D学者加入博士学位。规划和追求职业生涯， 生物医学研究（长期）;在未来十年，创造一种文化，以扩大和加强 由B2 D学者计划开发的生物医学科学课程， 长期（Long Range）。弗雷斯诺-戴维斯B2 D计划将支持学者，并奠定基本的 在竞争激烈的环境中，面对研究生院教育的严格要求所需的基础。的 来自两个校区的项目总监聚集了一个教师导师团队，一个咨询委员会， 工作人员，谁是致力于该计划的成功发展。的所有组件 弗雷斯诺-戴维斯桥梁计划将通过持续的评估过程进行严格评估，以评估 方案的成功。

A Bridges to the Doctorate program between the two major Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) in California's Central Valley is proposed. This program will assist under-represented minority (URM) students from the California State University, Fresno with completing a Master's program in the biomedical sciences before continuing and completing their Ph.D. program at the University of California, Davis. This proposal will build on major research themes, activities and facilities including Research Infrastructure in Minority Institutions Program (RIMI) at Fresno State, the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Clinical and Translational Science Center at UC Davis. Faculty members from the Colleges of Science and Mathematics at Fresno State and biomedical research focused graduate groups at UC Davis will create a highly interactive training program. The overall aim of the Fresno State Bridges to Doctorate program is to increase the number of URM graduate students entering and earning doctoral degrees in biomedical sciences. The program will recruit five graduate students each year with potential interests in pursuing research as a career and provide individually designed academic and research training plans to each. The major aims include: Refine professional skill sets through multiple opportunities to practice their oral and written skills and to network with other peers; actively participate and present at national/international research conferences to improve identification as a researcher and increase self-efficacy and science identity; Develop an understanding of and appreciation for their responsible conduct in research through supplemental responsible conduct in research (RCR) training course as well as for instructions on enhancing scientific reproducibility; and Provide summer research at research-intensive labs at UC Davis for the B2D students to integrate research experience that mirrors what they will experience in graduate school. The short- and long-range objectives are: To ensure that 90% of the B2D Scholars submit a graduate school application, with half the students being accepted into graduate Ph.D. programs in biomedical sciences in the first five years of the grant (short-range); Over the next decade we expect to maximize (80%) our B2D Scholars to join a Ph.D. program and pursue a career in biomedical research (long-range); and Over the next ten years, create a culture to expand and enhance the biomedical science curriculum developed by the B2D-Scholars program by the institutionalization of these practices (long-range). The Fresno-Davis B2D program will support the Scholars and lay the essential groundwork required to face the rigors of graduate school education in a highly competitive atmosphere. The Program Directors from both campuses have gathered a team of Faculty Mentors, an Advisory Committee and staff members, who are committed to the successful development of the program. All components of the Fresno-Davis Bridges program will be rigorously evaluated by an ongoing evaluation process to assess the success of the program.
