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

Fisk-Vanderbilt R25桥到生物医学博士项目(R25-BMP)的总体目标是 提供研究经验、课程安排和专业发展培训，以确保 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项目 在全国范围内，超过80%的博士研究生完成了该学位。这 Proposal在原来的R25节目基础上增加了一些创新战略， 吸取的经验教训，包括：1)FISK硕士阶段的生物医学轨道直接联系到 范德比尔特跨学科研究生计划，特别是嵌入的范德比尔特倡议 为最大限度地促进学生发展(IMSD)计划，与16种可能的生物医学相关联 相关博士授予计划；2)将即将到来的硕士实习生嵌入IMSD学生引导 数据/期刊俱乐部在第一年秋季；3)参加生物调节课程，要求 在所有弗吉尼亚大学生物医学博士课程中，在硕士研究生二年级期间， 获得B或更高学位的学生；4)在研究型机构的全国人脉关系 我们的生物医学桥学员以前在哪里过渡过和/或其研究领域 与硕士阶段研究保持一致，5)与硕士阶段相关的IMSD同行导师 实习生从第一年开始。

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.
