DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Fisk-Vanderbilt Master's to-PhD Bridge program was created to address the underrepresentation of minorities in STEM disciplines by enabling these students to earn a Master's degree at Fisk as a stepping-stone to the PhD program at Vanderbilt. This proposal aims to take the elements that have worked so well for physics and astronomy in the Bridge program and use them to strengthen and expand the Biology, Chemistry, and Biophysics tracks. The overall goal of this program will be to broaden participation of underrepresented minority students in the fields of Biology, Chemistry and Bio-Physics, to develop methods that increase the preparation of students at Fisk for entering Vanderbilt, and to give track the professional development of each student, including training on the responsible conduct of research. The greatest evidence of Fisk and Vanderbilt Institutional commitment is that the Bridge Program has been operating for 8 years. Both universities have invested considerable time and money into the success of the program. In turn, as our students are now graduating with PhDs and moving into academia and industry we are delivering on that investment. This proposal will be a significant step in ensuring the achievements to date continue and expand bringing more biomedical sciences student into the Bridge family.

描述（由申请人提供）：Fisk-Vanderbilt 硕士到博士桥梁项目旨在解决少数族裔在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的问题，让这些学生能够在 Fisk 获得硕士学位，作为进入范德比尔特博士项目的垫脚石。该提案旨在采用桥梁计划中对物理学和天文学非常有效的元素，并利用它们来加强和扩展生物学、化学和生物物理学轨道。该计划的总体目标是扩大少数族裔学生在生物学、化学和生物物理学领域的参与，制定方法，增加菲斯克学生进入范德比尔特大学的准备，并跟踪学生的专业发展。每个学生，包括负责任的研究行为的培训。 Fisk 和 Vanderbilt 机构承诺的最有力证据是桥梁计划已经运行了 8 年。两所大学都投入了大量的时间和金钱来确保该项目的成功。反过来，随着我们的学生现在获得博士学位并进入学术界和工业界，我们正在兑现这项投资。该提案将是确保迄今为止取得的成就继续下去并扩大将更多生物医学科学学生带入 Bridge 大家庭的重要一步。
