BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES PROFESSORS FOR THE FUTURE

该项目是由霍华德大学、普渡大学、伊利诺伊大学医学院(UICM)和领导力联盟的教职员工和管理人员进行的一项全面的多学科计划，旨在与三个联盟成员(摩根州立大学、特拉华州立大学、汉普顿大学)建立学术合作伙伴关系，这三个联盟成员在名为生物医学教授未来计划(BPFP)的计划下提供生物医学科学的终极硕士学位。BPFP的博士密集校园将提供博士培训菜单，MS终端项目的学生可以从中选择。硕士和博士联合教授将在学生委员会任职，并为完成硕士学位提供资源和培训。学员将有机会在BPFP-Mentor实验室、其他工业和政府实验室进行过渡性研究，在MBL和冷泉港进行课程工作，然后进入全日制博士项目。博士实习生将在整个博士项目期间受到跟踪，提供轮换参加其他BPFP大学项目的机会，并通过MIRT项目在欧洲和亚洲领先的研究实验室进行研究。联系在一起的理工科大学将通过与研究密集型大学的联合项目、教师之间的合作和密切互动，以及在理工科大学举办的交流、休假、短期课程、研讨会和研讨会中受益。

The BRIDGE program is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary plan by faculty and administrators at Howard University, Purdue University, University of Illinois College of Medicine (UICM) and the Leadership Alliance to forge academic partnerships with 3 Alliance members (Morgan State, Delaware State, Hampton University) that offer terminal M.S. degrees in the biomedical sciences under a program entitled Biomedical Sciences Professors for the Future Program (BPFP). The Ph.D.-intensive campuses of the BPFP will provide the doctoral training menu from which students in M.S. terminal programs can chose. Joint M.S. and Ph.D. faculty will serve on the students committees, and provide resources and training for completion of the M.S. degree. Trainees will have the opportunity to conduct transitional research in the BPFP-mentor's lab, other industrial and governmental labs, course work at the MBL and Cold Spring Harbor prior to full-time admission into the doctoral program. Ph.D. trainees will be tracked throughout their doctoral program, provided opportunities to rotate through other BPFP university programs, and conduct research in leading European and Asian research laboratories through the MIRT program. The linked M.S. universities will benefit through joint programs with research- intensive universities, collaboration and close interaction of the faculty through exchanges, sabbaticals, short courses, workshops and seminars presented at M.S.-universities.
