The goal of the Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training Program at San Francisco State University (SFSU) (“Bridge Program”) is to develop a diverse pool of scientists earning a Ph.D., who have the skills to successfully transition into careers in the biomedical research workforce. SFSU and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have developed a cooperative graduate program to increase the number of under-represented (UR) students that pursue biomedical research careers. This Program will provide UR students (primarily Biology and Biochemistry) with a quality and focused master's degree education at SFSU that prepares them to be competitive for acceptance into top-ranked biomedical science doctoral programs such as UCSF. The objectives are to: 1) engage all Bridge trainees in research activities, 2) provide the scientific literacy to ensure the successful completion of M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in a timely manner, and 3) ensure the transition of Bridge trainees to Ph.D. programs. These objectives will be successfully met through the combination of (i) close and careful academic and research advising by peers, preceptors, course instructors and PDs, (ii) a nurturing and productive research experience with Bridge preceptors, (iii) registration in two courses (“Strategies for Success” and “Science Coding Immersion Program (SCIP)”) that provide professional development to improve quantitative, writing, and oral communication skills while building community, and (iv) role modeling from established UR scientists in our formal Speaker Series. The M.S. program is divided into 4 semesters, with a unique “Strategies for Success” each semester, and the “SCIP” course in the summer between 1st and 2nd year. The “Strategies” course develops writing and oral communication skills through development of the IDP, statement of purpose, abstract writing, presentations and mock interviews. Ph.D. preparation includes informational sessions on Ph.D. programs, and PhD/career panels led by SFSU alumni. These courses also cover RCR and rigor and reproducibility, over 2 semesters. SCIP develops community through coding lessons, with biologically-relevant data sets. Over the last 15 years, 175 previously funded M.S. students have completed Ph.D. programs, with another 75 pending (anticipated completion dates between 2021- 2025). Over the last 5 years alone, an average of 22.4 students have entered Ph.D. programs yearly, with an average of 3.6 entering UCSF Ph.D. programs (2, 2, 4, 3 and 7 entering from 2016- 2020). This proposal therefore requests funding for 32 MS students (16 first year and 16 second year), to maintain the strong success of the combined NIH Bridge and RISE programs previously in existence at SFSU.

弗朗西斯科州立大学博士研究培训项目之桥的目标 大学（SFSU）（“桥梁计划”）是发展一个多元化的科学家池获得博士学位， 谁拥有成功过渡到生物医学研究劳动力的职业技能。 旧金山州立大学和加州大学旧金山分校弗朗西斯科（UCSF）建立了合作关系， 研究生课程，以增加代表性不足（UR）的学生，追求数量 生物医学研究职业。该计划将提供UR学生（主要是生物学和 生物化学）与SFSU的质量和重点硕士学位教育，准备他们 具有竞争力的接受进入顶级生物医学科学博士课程，如 加州大学旧金山分校目标是：1）让所有桥梁学员参与研究活动，2）提供 科学素养，以确保顺利完成M.S.和博士度及时 方式，3）确保桥梁学员过渡到博士学位。程序.这些目标将 通过以下方式成功实现：（一）密切和认真的学术和研究 由同侪、导师、课程导师及专业发展主任提供意见，（ii）培育及生产性研究 与桥梁导师的经验，（iii）注册两门课程（“成功策略”和 “科学编码沉浸计划（SCIP）”），提供专业发展，以提高 定量，写作和口头沟通技能，同时建立社区，和（四）作用 在我们正式的演讲者系列中，从建立的UR科学家那里建模。的ms程序 分为4个学期，每学期有一个独特的“成功策略”，和“SCIP” 在第一年和第二年之间的夏天。“策略”课程培养写作和口语能力。 通过IDP的发展，目的声明，摘要写作， 演示和模拟面试。博士准备工作包括关于博士学位的信息会议。 计划，和博士/职业小组由SFSU校友领导。这些课程还包括RCR和严格性 和再现性，超过2个学期。SCIP通过编码课程开发社区， 生物学相关的数据集。在过去的15年里，175个以前资助的MS。学生 完成博士学位计划，另有75个待定（预计完成日期为2021年- 2025年）。仅在过去的5年里，平均有22.4名学生进入博士学位。程序 每年，平均有3.6人进入UCSF博士学位。计划（2，2，4，3和7从2016年进入- 2020年）。因此，该提案要求为32名MS学生提供资金（16名第一年和16名第二年 年），以保持NIH Bridge和RISE计划的成功， 存在于SFSU。
