Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training Program at CSUN

摘要： 我们建议与加州州立大学北岭分校建立合作伙伴关系 （CSUN）和五个杰出的博士学位-授予机构。中所述的伙伴关系 这一建议是一个模式，建立一个全面的方案之间， 西班牙裔服务机构（HSI），CSUN和几个杰出的研究 大学（加州大学伯克利分校、加州大学戴维斯分校、加州大学滨江分校、加州大学圣巴巴拉分校和斯坦福大学 大学）。参加这个桥梁博士课程的学生将拥有 有机会在CSUN选择生物学，心理学， 化学/生物化学、物理学和营养学。之间的联系 博士学位-资助机构和CSUN将通过这些建立或加强 伙伴关系。促进和加强这些联系的活动和互动包括 在CSUN的研讨会由来自博士的教师-授予机构，CSUN的访问 博士生们-授予机构，并为CSUN学生的机会， 在伙伴学校的研究项目上进行合作。CSUN学生将 参加一个特别研讨会，重点是科学的严谨性和再现性， 结果以及负责任的研究行为。拟议的活动将进一步 加强参与桥梁培训生进入博士学位的准备。 项目，并最终获得博士学位。在一个生物医学相关项目中， 合作机构或类似机构。我们预计，在未来五年， 在此期间，将有42名学员参加该方案。其中，35名学生将 已完成该计划（95%已硕士学位毕业），而 在第一轮供资后，仍有7个项目将继续实施。我们希望100%的 那些获得硕士学位的人申请博士学位。生物医学基础课程 相关领域。根据CSUN过去的成功经验，我们预计90%的学员将进入 博士学位计划在生物医学相关领域，并有保留/完成率 的95%。

Abstract: We propose cooperative partnerships between California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and five outstanding Ph.D.-granting institutions. The partnerships described in this proposal are a model for establishing a program between a comprehensive Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), CSUN, and several pre-eminent Research Extensive universities (UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, and Stanford University). Students participating in this Bridges to the PhD program will have the opportunity to choose a MA/MS concentration at CSUN among biology, psychology, chemistry/biochemistry, physics, and dietetics and nutrition. Linkages between the Ph.D.-granting institutions and CSUN will be established or enhanced through these partnerships. Activities and interactions that will foster and strengthen these ties include seminars at CSUN by faculty from the Ph.D.-granting institutions, visits of CSUN students to the Ph.D.-granting institutions, and the opportunity for CSUN students to collaborate on research projects at the partnership schools. CSUN students will participate in a special workshop that focuses on scientific rigor and reproducibility of results as well as responsible conduct of research. The proposed activities will further enhance the preparation of the participating Bridges Trainees for entry into Ph.D. programs, and ultimately to their earning a Ph.D. in a bio-medically relevant program at the partner institutions or a comparable one. We anticipate that over the five-year timeframe, 42 trainees will have participated in the program. Of these, 35 students will have completed the program (95% to have graduated with a master’s degree), while seven will still be in the program after the first cycle of funding. We expect 100% of those who earn a master’s degree to apply to Ph.D. programs in a basic bio-medically relevant field. Based on past success at CSUN, we expect 90% of the trainees to enter a Ph.D. program in a bio-medically relevant field and to have a retention/completion rate of 95%.
