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

项目摘要/摘要 加州州立大学长滩分校的博士之桥(BTD)培训计划将 与加州大学欧文分校(UCI)合作，为 对生物医学研究职业感兴趣的学生人数不足(UR)和服务不足(US)。两者都有 HSI和AANAPISI校园将多样性和价值包容性正常化，同时提供严格的 干式训练。这两个机构的经历将支持科学认同感和归属感，这 将在BTD学员的整个职业生涯中留在他们身边。BTD计划将支持10个有才华的UR/US 南加州大学生物科学硕士研究生，生物化学和化学专业毕业生 程序。这些学生将完成研究生课程，并为为期两年的硕士论文辩护。 在出版和研究生培训方面有良好记录的教师被选为潜在的BTD研究 导师。硕士学位计划将通过每周职业发展社区、每年一次的 职业小组和提高再生性研讨会，以及在会议上展示研究的机会。 BTD学生将阅读STEM中关于种族和种族的文献，以获得对科学认同的元认知， 背信弃义和多样性-创新悖论。一个结构化的近乎同行的指导计划将首先合作 和二年级的BTD学生为学员提供指导和支持，并提供领导经验 导师。CSULB的研究导师培训将专注于为不同的学生群体提供包容性辅导 并将包括海滩指导计划以及一年一度的STEM特定指导研讨会。这个 参加BTD项目的理科硕士学生将访问加州大学洛杉矶分校参观校园，举办研讨会，然后与少数族裔人士会面 科学项目(MSP)学生、MSP暑期研究研讨会和模拟采访。UCI拥有 为被UCI录取的BTD学生预留参加竞争优势博士学位的名额。 准备暑期计划。UCI的20多名PI对指导BTD学生和BTD有着浓厚的兴趣 教师导师有兴趣与加州大学学院的教师建立合作关系。五个可衡量的目标 华南理工大学的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 生物医学博士课程在BTD项目开始三年内，50%被录取 UCI博士项目；4)在进入博士项目的BTD学生中，超过80%的人将完成博士学位。 学位；5)BTD学生进入博士学习后平均获得学位的时间将不到60 月份。在完成博士学位后，BTD学生将继续担任竞争激烈的博士后职位 推动生物医药研究企业多元化发展。

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.
