BRIDGE - Bioscience Research Initiative for
Doctoral Graduate Education

The NC State University Doctoral BRIDGE (Bioscience Research Initiative for Doctoral Graduate Education) Program aims to increase the number of researchers in underrepresented populations in the biomedical and life sciences. The program supports graduate students in pursuit of the Master of Science degree at three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and promotes their entrance into biomedical and bioscience Ph.D. programs at NC State University. The BRIDGE partners are:

• NC State University
• NC A&T State University
• NC Central University
• Fayetteville State University

Components of BRIDGE activities include faculty mentors and access to specialized equipment for master's level BRIDGE students, faculty research collaborations, enhanced curricula of the partner institution by sponsoring seminars and other professional activities, and specialized courses designed to enhance students research skills.
