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.

两个主要西班牙裔服务机构 (HSI) 之间的通往博士学位的桥梁计划 拟议中的加利福尼亚州中央山谷。该计划将帮助代表性不足的少数族裔 (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 在继续并完成博士学位之前加州大学戴维斯分校的项目。该提案将 以主要研究主题、活动和设施为基础，包括少数群体机构的研究基础设施 弗雷斯诺州立大学、加州大学戴维斯分校综合癌症中心以及临床和临床中心的项目 (RIMI) 加州大学戴维斯分校转化科学中心。科学学院和数学学院的教职人员 弗雷斯诺州立大学和加州大学戴维斯分校以生物医学研究为重点的研究生小组将创建一个高度互动的 培训计划。弗雷斯诺州立桥梁博士项目的总体目标是增加博士生数量 的 URM 研究生进入并获得生物医学科学博士学位。该计划将 每年招收五名有潜在兴趣以研究为职业的研究生，并提供 为每个人单独设计学术和研究培训计划。主要目标包括： 完善 通过多种机会练习口语和书面技能并与人建立联系的专业技能 其他同行；积极参加并出席国家/国际研究会议，以提高 识别作为一名研究人员并提高自我效能和科学认同；发展对和的理解 通过补充负责任的研究行为来赞赏他们负责任的研究行为 (RCR) 培训课程以及关于提高科学再现性的说明；并提供夏季 在加州大学戴维斯分校的研究密集型实验室进行研究，为 B2D 学生整合研究经验 反映了他们在研究生院将经历的事情。短期和长期目标是： 确保 90% 的 B2D 学者提交了研究生院申请，其中一半的学生被录取 博士研究生资助前五年的生物医学科学项目（短期）；在接下来的 十年来，我们期望最大限度地（80%）我们的 B2D 学者加入博士学位。计划并从事职业生涯 生物医学研究（远程）；在接下来的十年里，创造一种文化来扩大和增强 B2D-Scholars 计划通过将这些课程制度化而开发的生物医学科学课程 实践（远程）。弗雷斯诺-戴维斯 B2D 计划将为学者们提供支持并奠定必要的基础 在高度竞争的氛围中应对研究生院教育的严格要求所需的基础。这 两个校区的项目主任聚集了一支由教师导师、咨询委员会和 致力于该计划成功开发的工作人员。的所有组件 弗雷斯诺-戴维斯桥梁项目将通过持续的评估流程进行严格评估，以评估 该计划的成功。
