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 当研究人员具有不同的背景、才能和视角时，科学的进步就会得到促进 激发应对医疗挑战的创新和创造性方法。才华、经验和 来自代表性不足群体的学生在理科方面的参与率明显较低， 技术和工程，在博士及以后的培训水平上更差。这一项目旨在 在肯纳索州立大学建立桃州博士项目(PSB2D) 与乔治亚大学结成伙伴关系，以增加入学人数不足的学生 生物医学方面的博士课程。这些学生与生俱来的能力将得到提炼和磨练 通过综合生物学(MSIB)理科硕士或化学理科硕士录取后 和生物化学(MSCB)学位课程。结合本组织提供的培训和指导 在PSB2D项目中，成功的学生将过渡到生物医学科学的博士项目。四 为实现这一目标设定了雄心勃勃的目标：(1)每年招收5名代表性不足的学生 五年攻读硕士学位，作为进入生物医学博士(PhD)项目的桥梁；(2)保留和(3) 培训至少80%的PSB2D学生，并提供真正出色的研究生研究机会；(4)促进 至少80%的PSB2D学生成功过渡到生物医学科学的博士课程。 利用多种招聘途径，一批有抱负的UR学生将具有竞争力 被选入PSB2D计划。成功的申请者将表现出对攻读 生物医学博士或医学博士/博士学位。计划在两年内开展定向研究和浓缩活动。 任命每一位布里奇斯实习生。第一年将以基础研究技能培训为特色， 负责任的行为、提高可再现性的方法、论文开发和准备研讨会 秋季申请博士项目的实习生。每月的桥牌会议将建立包容性、尊重、 科学认同、社会化、凝聚力和科学交流。第二年将重点攻读博士学位 面试准备，除了进一步的研究培训。PSB2D学者将获得同行和教员 在为期两年的聘任期间提供指导。与生物医学专业人士建立联系的机会 (学术界、工业界、私营部门)将在研讨会上亮相。一个咨询委员会将监督该计划 有效性。利用上述可衡量的目标，调查工具将由外部人员部署 评估员评估学员的培训和导师的有效性。我们将根据需要修改我们的程序，基于 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人才多样化 在这个项目的五年时间里，通过招收至少16名布里奇斯学员参加生物医学博士项目。
