Bridges to Doctorate Program between Fresno State and UC Davis

A在两个主要的西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)之间架起通往博士项目的桥梁 加利福尼亚州的中央山谷被提议。该计划将帮助代表不足的少数族裔(URM)学生 从加州州立大学弗雷斯诺分校获得生物医学硕士学位 在继续并完成他们在加州大学戴维斯分校的博士课程之前。这项提议将 以主要研究主题、活动和设施为基础，包括少数民族机构的研究基础设施 项目(RIMI)在弗雷斯诺州立大学，加州大学戴维斯综合癌症中心，以及临床和 加州大学戴维斯分校的翻译科学中心。香港中文大学理学院及数学学院教职员 加州大学戴维斯分校以弗雷斯诺州立大学和生物医学研究为重点的毕业生团体将创建一个高度互动的 培训计划。弗雷斯诺州立大学博士学位项目的总体目标是增加 URM研究生进入并获得生物医学科学博士学位的比例。该计划将 每年招收五名对从事研究有潜在兴趣的研究生，并提供 分别设计了各自的学术和科研培训计划。主要目标包括：提炼 通过多个机会练习他们的口头和书面技能，并与 其他同行；积极参与并出席国家/国际研究会议，以改进 作为一名研究人员的认同感，增加自我效能和科学认同感；发展对 通过补充研究中的负责任行为，对他们在研究中的负责任行为表示赞赏 (RCR)培训课程以及关于加强科学可再现性的指导；并提供暑期 在加州大学戴维斯分校的研究密集型实验室为B2D学生整合研究经验 与他们在研究生院的经历如出一辙。短期和长期目标是：确保 90%的B2D学者提交了研究生院的申请，其中一半的学生被录取 前五年的生物医学博士研究生课程(短期)；在接下来的五年 十年我们希望最大限度地(80%)让我们的B2D学者参加博士项目并在以下领域追求职业生涯 生物医学研究(远程)；在未来十年，创造一种文化，以扩大和加强 由B2D-学者计划开发的生物医学课程通过将这些 实践(长期)。弗雷斯诺-戴维斯B2D计划将支持学者们，并为 在竞争激烈的氛围中面对严酷的研究生教育所需的基础工作。这个 来自两个校区的项目主任已经召集了一个由教师导师、咨询委员会和 工作人员，他们致力于项目的成功发展。的所有组件 弗雷斯诺-戴维斯桥梁项目将通过正在进行的评估过程进行严格评估，以评估 节目的成功。

A Bridges to the Doctorate program between the two major Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) in California's Central Valley is proposed. This program will assist under-represented minority (URM) students from the California State University, Fresno with completing a Master's program in the biomedical sciences before continuing and completing their Ph.D. program at the University of California, Davis. This proposal will build on major research themes, activities and facilities including Research Infrastructure in Minority Institutions Program (RIMI) at Fresno State, the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Clinical and Translational Science Center at UC Davis. Faculty members from the Colleges of Science and Mathematics at Fresno State and biomedical research focused graduate groups at UC Davis will create a highly interactive training program. The overall aim of the Fresno State Bridges to Doctorate program is to increase the number of URM graduate students entering and earning doctoral degrees in biomedical sciences. The program will recruit five graduate students each year with potential interests in pursuing research as a career and provide individually designed academic and research training plans to each. The major aims include: Refine professional skill sets through multiple opportunities to practice their oral and written skills and to network with other peers; actively participate and present at national/international research conferences to improve identification as a researcher and increase self-efficacy and science identity; Develop an understanding of and appreciation for their responsible conduct in research through supplemental responsible conduct in research (RCR) training course as well as for instructions on enhancing scientific reproducibility; and Provide summer research at research-intensive labs at UC Davis for the B2D students to integrate research experience that mirrors what they will experience in graduate school. The short- and long-range objectives are: To ensure that 90% of the B2D Scholars submit a graduate school application, with half the students being accepted into graduate Ph.D. programs in biomedical sciences in the first five years of the grant (short-range); Over the next decade we expect to maximize (80%) our B2D Scholars to join a Ph.D. program and pursue a career in biomedical research (long-range); and Over the next ten years, create a culture to expand and enhance the biomedical science curriculum developed by the B2D-Scholars program by the institutionalization of these practices (long-range). The Fresno-Davis B2D program will support the Scholars and lay the essential groundwork required to face the rigors of graduate school education in a highly competitive atmosphere. The Program Directors from both campuses have gathered a team of Faculty Mentors, an Advisory Committee and staff members, who are committed to the successful development of the program. All components of the Fresno-Davis Bridges program will be rigorously evaluated by an ongoing evaluation process to assess the success of the program.
