The Bridges to the Doctorate initiative, funded by the National Institutes of Health, (NIGMS R25 GM067592) represents a formal partnership between Jackson State University (JSU), an historically black institution and Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI). The purpose of the partnership is to enhance the quality and quantity of underrepresented minority students who are being trained as the next generation of scientists by providing a structured “bridge” between the JSU Master’s program and the IUPUI doctoral program. During the summer months, Bridges students will attend IUPUI and affiliate with a research laboratory/mentor from one of the IU School of Medicine Basic Science Departments. The IUPUI mentor will also sit on the student’s Master’s thesis committee and be involved with the student during the academic year. The student will perform research in that laboratory, present/publish results at national meeting's). In addition, they will attend workshops/classes and mentor other undergraduate minority students who are participating in the IUPUI summer research program for prospective medical students. Each Bridges student will also be assigned a graduate student/postdoctoral laboratory mentor and interact with their students in the IUPUI laboratory. Summer stipend/supply dollars are funded by NIH Training Grants T32 AI060519 (Janice Blum, PI) and NIDDK T32 D07519 (Hal Broxmeyer, PI). |
