DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The NCCU-WFU Biomedical Sciences Bridge Partnership is a Bridges to the Future initiative for the training of M.S. students in the Department of Biology at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) to continue in their Ph.D. training at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at Wake Forest University (WFU). Our goal to create and maintain a "research environment" at NCCU will be achieved by maintaining strong research programs through NCCU's J.L. Chambers Biomedical/ Biotechnology Research Institute (JLC-BBRI), by increasing awareness of the NCCU-WFU Bridge Partnership program among Ph.D.-directed candidates, selecting graduate students with potential for success, and nurturing them through laboratory research and research-related activities. Our goal to foster the "research thinking process" among graduate students will be achieved by promoting level Ill cognitive skills into coursework. Our goal to bridge students into an advanced position when entering the Ph.D. phase of their training, yet diminishing the social disadvantage, will be implemented by developing faculty research collaborations between institutions so that students can work on aspects of the project at both institutions, and by fostering joint programs between students at NCCU and WFU. The NCCU-WFU Biomedical Sciences Bridge Partnership proposes to take advantage of the unique research environment of the JLC-BBRI on the NCCU campus by making available to underrepresented minority students the dual environments of an active biomedical research facility and the HBCU community. To achieve these goals, we are requesting support for 3 graduate assistantships, tuition, health insurance, computers and travel to an annual scientific meeting for 3 M.S. students in year one, to increase to 6 students in year three. We are also requesting 3 years of support for a program administrator and office assistant at 25% effort each, and support supplies and travel cost related to the administration of this program. Support of students via the NCCU-WFU Biomedical Sciences Bridge Partnership will solidify the existing effective inter-institutional partnership between NCCU and WFU that will improve the quantity, but more importantly, the quality, of the next generation of underrepresented minority scientists in the U.S.

描述（由申请人提供）： NCCU-WFU 生物医学科学桥梁合作伙伴关系是一项“通向未来的桥梁”计划，旨在培养理学硕士。北卡罗来纳中央大学 (NCCU) 生物系的学生继续攻读博士学位。在维克森林大学 (WFU) 生理学和药理学系接受培训。我们在NCCU创建和维持“研究环境”的目标将通过通过NCCU的J.L.Chambers生物医学/生物技术研究所（JLC-BBRI）维持强大的研究项目，通过提高博士生对NCCU-WFU桥梁合作项目的认识来实现。博士生定向候选人，选择具有成功潜力的研究生，并通过实验室研究和研究相关活动来培养他们。我们培养研究生“研究思维过程”的目标将通过将 III 级认知技能提升到课程作业中来实现。我们的目标是让学生在攻读博士学位时进入高级职位。将通过发展机构之间的教师研究合作来实现他们的培训阶段，同时减少社会劣势，以便学生能够在两个机构从事该项目的各个方面，并通过促进 NCCU 和 WFU 学生之间的联合项目来实施。 NCCU-WFU 生物医学科学桥梁合作伙伴关系提议利用 NCCU 校园内 JLC-BBRI 的独特研究环境，为代表性不足的少数族裔学生提供活跃的生物医学研究设施和 HBCU 社区的双重环境。为了实现这些目标，我们请求为 3 名研究生助学金、学费、健康保险、计算机以及 3 名硕士人员参加年度科学会议的旅费提供支持。第一年的学生人数，第三年增加到 6 名学生。我们还请求为项目管理员和办公室助理提供 3 年的支持，各提供 25% 的努力，并支持与该项目管理相关的用品和差旅费用。通过 NCCU-WFU 生物医学科学桥梁合作伙伴关系对学生的支持将巩固 NCCU 和 WFU 之间现有的有效的机构间伙伴关系，这将提高美国下一代代表性不足的少数族裔科学家的数量，但更重要的是提高其质量。
