Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training Program at CSUN

摘要： 我们建议加州州立大学北岭分校与 (CSUN)和五个优秀的授予博士学位的机构。中描述的合作伙伴关系 这项建议是建立一个计划的模式，在全面的 西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)、CSUN和几个卓越的广泛研究 大学(加州大学伯克利分校、加州大学戴维斯分校、加州大学河滨分校、加州大学圣巴巴拉分校和斯坦福大学 大学)。参加这个博士桥项目的学生将拥有 有机会在CSUN选择生物学、心理学、 化学/生物化学、物理学、营养学和营养学。两国之间的联系 将通过以下方式建立或加强授予博士学位的机构和CSUN 合伙企业。将促进和加强这些联系的活动和互动包括 由授予博士学位的机构的教师在CSUN举办的研讨会，CSUN的访问 学生进入授予博士学位的机构，以及CSUN学生有机会 在合作学校的研究项目上进行合作。CSUN的学生将 参加一个特别的研讨会，重点是科学的严谨性和重现性 结果以及负责任的研究行为。拟议的活动将进一步 加强参与培训的桥牌学员攻读博士学位的准备工作。 项目，并最终在生物医学相关项目中获得博士学位 伙伴机构或类似的机构。我们预计在未来五年内 在时间范围内，将有42名学员参加该计划。在这些学生中，35名学生将 已完成课程(95%毕业于硕士学位)，而 在第一个周期的资金之后，7个仍将在该计划中。我们预计100% 那些获得硕士学位的人申请基础生物医学的博士课程 相关字段。根据CSUN过去的成功经验，我们预计90%的实习生将进入 生物医学相关领域的博士课程，并具有保留率/完成率 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%.
