Project Summary Advancement of science is enhanced when researchers have diverse backgrounds, talents, and perspectives to stimulate innovative and creative approaches that address healthcare challenges. The talent, experiences, and participation of students from underrepresented groups has been demonstrated to be starkly low in science, technology, and engineering and are worse at the doctoral levels of training and beyond. This project seeks to establish the Peach State Bridges to the Doctorate Program (PSB2D) at Kennesaw State University, in partnership with the University of Georgia, to increase the number of underrepresented students entering doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. The innate abilities of these students will be refined and polished after matriculation through our Master of Science in Integrative Biology (MSIB) or Master of Science in Chemistry and Biochemistry (MSCB) degree programs. In combination with the training and guidance provided by the PSB2D program, successful students will transition into doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. Four ambitious objectives have been set to achieve this goal: (1) recruit five underrepresented students per year for five years that seek a master’s degree as a bridge into a biomedical doctoral (PhD) program; (2) retain and (3) train at least 80% of PSB2D students and provide truly exceptional graduate research opportunities; (4) facilitate the successful transition of at least 80% of PSB2D students into doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences. Taking advantage of multiple recruitment avenues, a pool of aspirational UR students will be competitively selected into the PSB2D program. Successful applicants will display an expressed interest in pursuing a biomedical PhD or MD/PhD. Directed research and enrichment activities are planned for the two-year appointment of each Bridges trainee. The first year will feature training in foundational research skills, responsible conduct, methods to enhance reproducibility, thesis development, and workshops to prepare trainees for doctoral program applications in the fall. Monthly Bridges meetings will build inclusiveness, respect, scientific identity, socialization, cohesion, and scientific communication. The second year will focus on doctoral interview preparation, in addition to further research training. PSB2D scholars will receive peer and faculty mentoring throughout the two-year appointment. Networking opportunities with biomedical professionals (academia, industry, private sector) will be featured in seminars. An advisory committee will oversee program effectiveness. Using the above measurable objectives, survey instruments will be deployed by an external evaluator to assess mentee training and mentor effectiveness. We will modify our program as needed, based on assessment outcomes. Results will be disseminated by our program website, conference proceedings, and journal articles. If we are successful, we will help NIH diversify the voices and talents of the biomedical workforce by matriculating at least 16 Bridges trainees into biomedical PhD programs over the five years of this project.

项目概要 当研究人员拥有不同的背景、才能和观点时，科学的进步就会得到加强 激发解决医疗保健挑战的创新和创造性方法。 事实证明，来自代表性不足群体的学生在科学领域的参与度极低， 技术和工程，并且在博士级及以上的培训中表现较差。 在肯尼索州立大学建立桃州博士桥梁课程 (PSB2D)， 与佐治亚大学合作，增加入学人数不足的学生数量 生物医学科学博士课程将提高和完善这些学生的先天能力。 通过我们的综合生物学理学硕士 (MSIB) 或化学理学硕士入学后 和生物化学（MSCB）学位课程与提供的培训和指导相结合。 PSB2D 计划，成功的学生将转入生物医学科学博士课程四。 为了实现这一目标，我们制定了雄心勃勃的目标：(1) 每年招收五名代表性不足的学生 寻求硕士学位作为进入生物医学博士 (PhD) 课程的桥梁的五年；(2) 保留和 (3) 培训至少 80% 的 PSB2D 学生并提供真正出色的研究生研究机会；(4) 促进 至少 80% 的 PSB2D 学生成功转入生物医学博士课程。 利用多种招聘渠道，一批有抱负的 UR 学生将在竞争中脱颖而出 被选入 PSB2D 计划的成功申请者将表现出对追求的明确兴趣。 计划在两年内进行生物医学博士或医学博士/博士的定向研究和丰富活动。 每个 Bridges 实习生的任命第一年将进行基础研究技能的培训， 负责任的行为、提高可重复性的方法、论文开发以及准备研讨会 秋季每月桥梁会议的学员将建立包容性、尊重、 科学身份、社会化、凝聚力和科学传播 第二年将重点关注博士课程。 除了进一步的研究培训之外，PSB2D 学者还将接受同行和教师的面试准备。 在为期两年的任命中，我们将提供与生物医学专业人士交流的机会。 （学术界、工业界、私营部门）将参加研讨会，一个咨询委员会将监督该计划。 有效性。利用上述可衡量的目标，调查工具将由外部部署。 评估员评估受训者培训和导师的有效性，我们将根据需要修改我们的计划。 评估结果将通过我们的计划网站、会议记录和 如果我们成功，我们将帮助 NIH 实现生物医学工作者的声音和人才多样化。 在该项目的五年内，至少让 16 名 Bridges 学员入读生物医学博士课程。
