This supplement supports the SFSU Bridges to the Doctorate program. The goal of the Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training Program at San Francisco State University (SFSU) (“Bridge Program”) is to develop a diverse pool of scientists earning a Ph.D., who have the skills to successfully transition into careers in the biomedical research workforce. SFSU and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have developed a cooperative graduate program to increase the number of under-represented students that pursue biomedical research careers. This Program will provide students (primarily Biology and Biochemistry) with a quality and focused master's degree education at SFSU that prepares them to be competitive for acceptance into top-ranked biomedical science doctoral programs such as UCSF. The objectives are to: 1) engage all Bridge trainees in research activities, 2) provide the scientific literacy to ensure the successful completion of M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in a timely manner, and 3) ensure the transition of Bridge trainees to Ph.D. programs. These objectives will be successfully met through the combination of (i) close and careful academic and research advising by peers, preceptors, course instructors and PDs, (ii) a nurturing and productive research experience with Bridge preceptors, (iii) registration in two courses (“Strategies for Success” and “SCIP: Science Coding Immersion Program”) that provide professional development to improve computational, quantitative, writing, and oral communication skills while building community, and (iv) role modeling from established UR scientists in our formal Speaker Series. This supplement award aims to support establishing a broader institutional community for first-generation students from historically marginalized groups at research-intensive and industry partners. This initiative aims to strengthen the network of historically marginalized students at SF State interested in STEM fields. This project will enhance and expand our BE-STEM organization by including inter-institutional mentoring and community networks to support students pursuing careers in STEM research. This initiative aims to facilitate real-time mentoring across different institutions, enabling mentees to learn about the transitions between career stages.
