Project Summary Advancement of science is enhanced when researchers have diverse backgrounds, talents, and perspectives to stimulate innovative and creative approaches that address healthcare challenges. The talent, experiences, and participation of students from underrepresented groups has been demonstrated to be starkly low in science, technology, and engineering and are worse at the doctoral levels of training and beyond. This project seeks to establish the Peach State Bridges to the Doctorate Program (PSB2D) at Kennesaw State University, in partnership with the University of Georgia, to increase the number of underrepresented students entering doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. The innate abilities of these students will be refined and polished after matriculation through our Master of Science in Integrative Biology (MSIB) or Master of Science in Chemistry and Biochemistry (MSCB) degree programs. In combination with the training and guidance provided by the PSB2D program, successful students will transition into doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. Four ambitious objectives have been set to achieve this goal: (1) recruit five underrepresented students per year for five years that seek a master’s degree as a bridge into a biomedical doctoral (PhD) program; (2) retain and (3) train at least 80% of PSB2D students and provide truly exceptional graduate research opportunities; (4) facilitate the successful transition of at least 80% of PSB2D students into doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. Taking advantage of multiple recruitment avenues, a pool of aspirational UR students will be competitively selected into the PSB2D program. Successful applicants will display an expressed interest in pursuing a biomedical PhD or MD/PhD. Directed research and enrichment activities are planned for the two-year appointment of each Bridges trainee. The first year will feature training in foundational research skills, responsible conduct, methods to enhance reproducibility, thesis development, and workshops to prepare trainees for doctoral program applications in the fall. Monthly Bridges meetings will build inclusiveness, respect, scientific identity, socialization, cohesion, and scientific communication. The second year will focus on doctoral interview preparation, in addition to further research training. PSB2D scholars will receive peer and faculty mentoring throughout the two-year appointment. Networking opportunities with biomedical professionals (academia, industry, private sector) will be featured in seminars. An advisory committee will oversee program effectiveness. Using the above measurable objectives, survey instruments will be deployed by an external evaluator to assess mentee training and mentor effectiveness. We will modify our program as needed, based on assessment outcomes. Results will be disseminated by our program website, conference proceedings, and journal articles. If we are successful, we will help NIH diversify the voices and talents of the biomedical workforce by matriculating at least 16 Bridges trainees into biomedical PhD programs over the five years of this project.

项目摘要 当研究人员拥有不同的背景、才能和观点时， 鼓励创新和创造性的方法来应对医疗保健挑战。天赋，经验， 来自代表性不足群体的学生在科学方面的参与率极低， 技术和工程，在博士培训和更高的水平上更差。本项目谋求 在肯尼索州立大学建立桃州桥梁博士学位项目（PSB 2D）， 与格鲁吉亚大学合作，增加入学人数不足的学生人数 生物医学博士课程。这些学生与生俱来的能力将得到提炼和打磨 通过我们的综合生物学（MSIB）或化学科学硕士预科后 生物化学（MSCB）学位课程。结合联合国提供的培训和指导， PSB 2D计划，成功的学生将过渡到生物医学科学博士课程。四 为实现这一目标，已经制定了雄心勃勃的目标：（1）每年招收5名代表性不足的学生， 五年，寻求硕士学位作为桥梁进入生物医学博士（博士）课程;（2）保留和（3） 培养至少80%的PSB 2D学生，并提供真正卓越的研究生研究机会;（4）促进 至少80%的PSB 2D学生成功过渡到生物医学博士课程。 利用多种招聘渠道，一批有抱负的UR学生将具有竞争力 被选入PSB 2D计划。成功的申请人将表现出对追求一个 生物医学博士或MD/PhD。计划在两年期内开展定向研究和浓缩活动， 每一位桥梁工程师的任命。第一年将以基础研究技能培训为特色， 负责任的行为，提高再现性的方法，论文开发和研讨会准备 博士课程申请的实习生在秋季。每月的桥梁会议将建立包容性，尊重， 科学认同、社会化、凝聚力和科学传播。第二年将侧重于博士 面试准备，以及进一步的研究培训。PSB 2D学者将获得同行和教师 在整个两年的任期内进行指导。与生物医学专业人员建立联系的机会 （学术界、工业界、私营部门）将参加研讨会。一个咨询委员会将监督该计划 有效性使用上述可衡量的目标，调查工具将由外部 评估员评估学员培训和指导的有效性。我们将根据需要修改我们的计划， 评估结果。结果将通过我们的计划网站，会议记录和 期刊文章如果我们成功了，我们将帮助NIH使生物医学劳动力的声音和才能多样化。 在这个项目的五年里，至少录取了16名桥梁学员进入生物医学博士课程。
