Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training Program at California State University Long Beach

项目概要/摘要 长滩加州州立大学的博士学位桥梁（BTD）培训计划将 与加州尔湾大学（UCI）合作，为 代表性不足（UR）和服务不足（US）的学生对生物医学研究事业感兴趣。两 校园是HSI和AANAPISI，规范多样性和价值包容沿着，提供严格的 STEM培训在这两个机构的经验将支持科学身份和归属感， 将在整个职业生涯中与BTD学员保持联系。BTD计划将支持10名有才华的UR/US CSULB生物科学、生物化学和化学专业硕士研究生 程序.这些学生将完成研究生课程，并捍卫硕士学位。用两年时间完成论文。 在出版和研究生培训方面具有良好记录的教师被选为潜在的BTD研究人员 导师的ms计划将通过每周职业发展社区，年度 职业小组和提高生殖能力讲习班，并有机会在会议上提出研究。 BTD学生将阅读有关STEM中种族和种族的文献，以获得对科学身份的元认知， 冒名顶替和多样性创新悖论。一个结构化的近同行指导计划将首先合作伙伴 和二年级BTD学生提供指导和支持，以指导和支持学员和领导经验， 导师CSULB的研究导师培训将侧重于为多样化的学生群体提供包容性的指导 并将包括海滩辅导计划以及每年的STEM特定辅导研讨会。的 M.S.参加BTD项目的学生将参观UCI的校园图尔斯，参加研讨会，然后与少数族裔举行会议 科学计划（MSP）的学生，MSP夏季研究研讨会和模拟面试。UCI拥有 为进入UCI参加竞争优势博士课程的BTD学生预留了名额。 准备暑期课程。UCI的20多名PI对指导BTD学生非常感兴趣，BTD 教师导师有兴趣与UCI教师建立合作关系。五个可衡量的目标 CSULB的BTD培训计划是1）所有BTD学生都将满足计划要求; 2）超过 75%的BTD学生将在两年内完成学位; 3）超过75%的BTD学生将进入 生物医学博士在开始BTD计划的三年内，有50%的人被接受， UCI博士4）BTD学生谁进入博士学位。计划，超过80%将完成博士学位。 5）BTD学生进入博士学位后获得学位的平均时间。研究将少于60 个月完成博士学位后，学位，BTD学生将继续在竞争激烈的博士后职位， 使生物医学研究企业多样化。

Project Summary/Abstract The Bridges to the Doctorate (BTD) Training Program at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) will partner with University of California, Irvine (UCI) to produce a seamless and supportive bridge for underrepresented (UR) and underserved (US) students interested in biomedical research careers. Both campuses are HSI and AANAPISI that normalize diversity and value inclusion along with providing rigorous STEM training. Experiences at both institutions will support science identity and a sense of belonging, which will remain with BTD trainees throughout their career. The BTD program will support ten talented UR/US Master’s degree students from the CSULB Biological Sciences, Biochemistry and Chemistry graduate programs. These students will complete graduate courses and defend an M.S. thesis with a two-year time line. Faculty with strong records in publication and graduate training were selected as potential BTD research mentors. The M.S. programs will be enhanced through a weekly Career Development Community, an annual Career Panel and Enhancing Reproducibility workshop, and opportunities to present research at conferences. BTD students will read literature about ethnicity and race in STEM to gain meta-cognition of science identity, imposterism and the diversity-innovation paradox. A structured near-peer mentoring program will partner first and second year BTD students to provide guidance and support to mentees and leadership experience for mentors. Research mentor training at CSULB will focus on inclusive mentoring for a diverse student population and will include the Beach Mentoring Program as well as annual STEM-specific mentoring workshops. The M.S. students in the BTD program will visit UCI for campus tours, seminars followed by meetings with Minority Science Programs (MSP) students, the MSP Summer Research Symposium and mock interviews. UCI has reserved slots for BTD students who matriculate to UCI to participate in the Competitive Edge Ph.D. preparation summer program. Over 20 PI’s at UCI have keen interest in mentoring BTD students, and BTD faculty mentors are interested in setting up collaborations with UCI faculty. The five measurable objectives of the BTD Training Program at CSULB are 1) All BTD students will meet program requirements; 2) More than 75% of BTD students will complete their degree in two years; 3) More than 75% of BTD students will enter biomedical science Ph.D. programs within three years of starting the BTD program with 50% being accepted to UCI Ph.D. programs; 4) Of BTD students who enter Ph.D. programs, more than 80% will complete the Ph.D. degree; and 5) The average time to degree for BTD students after entry into Ph.D. study will be less than 60 months. After completion of their Ph.D. degrees, BTD students will continue in competitive postdoc positions to diversify the biomedical research enterprise.
