R25 Fisk-Vanderbilt Bridge to the Biomedical PhD R25-BMP

Fisk-Vanderbilt R25 Bridge to the Biomedical PhD Program（R25-BMP）的总体目标是 提供研究经验，课程和专业发展培训，以确保在 至少70%的学员过渡到范德比尔特或其他机构的博士学位授予计划 在全国范围内，超过80%的过渡到博士学位的人完成了学位。这 该提案在最初的R25规划基础上增加了一些创新战略， 经验教训，包括：1）生物医学轨道在菲斯克硕士阶段的直接联系， 范德比尔特的跨学科研究生课程，特别是嵌入式范德比尔特倡议 最大化学生发展（IMSD）计划，与16种可能的生物医学 相关的博士学位授予计划; 2）将即将到来的硕士学员嵌入IMSD学生领导的 第一年秋季的数据/期刊俱乐部; 3）参加生物调节课程，要求 所有VU生物医学博士课程，在第二年的硕士博士学位水平的信贷， 获得B或更高学位的学生; 4）研究机构的全国网络联络员 我们的生物医学桥梁学员以前已经过渡和/或其研究领域 与硕士阶段研究保持一致，5）IMSD同行导师与硕士阶段相联系 学员从第一年开始。

The overall goal of the Fisk-Vanderbilt R25 Bridge to the Biomedical PhD Program (R25-BMP) is to provide research experiences, coursework and professional development training to assure at least 70% of trainees transition to PhD granting programs at Vanderbilt or other institutions nationally, and more than 80% of those who transition to the PhD complete the degree. This proposal adds a number of innovative strategies to the original R25 programming, based on lessons learned, including: 1) direct linkage of the Biomedical Track in the Fisk Master’s phase to Vanderbilt’s Interdisciplinary Graduate Program, specifically the embedded Vanderbilt Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) Program, linked to 16 possible bio-medically relevant PhD-granting programs; 2) embedding incoming Master’s trainees in IMSD student led data/journal clubs the Fall of their first year; 3) participation in the Bio-regulation course, required of all VU biomedical PhD programs, during year two of the Master’s for PhD-level credit for students who earn a B or higher; 4) National Networking Liaisons at research focused institutions where our Biomedical Bridge trainees have transitioned previously and/or whose research areas align with the Master’s phase research, and 5) IMSD peer mentors connected to Master’s phase trainees from the start of their first year.
