BRIDGE UP-HBCU

The Utah CTSI's Biomedical Research Innovation and Development to Grow Excellence in Science – Undergraduate Program for HBCUs (BRIDGE UP-HBCU) seeks to enlarge the translational research workforce by increasing access to research training for students who attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Students participate in an intensive 10-week research and critical thinking experience under the mentorship of a University of Utah faculty member. Students develop a holistic mentoring relationship with a U of U faculty member and gain research experience in science across the translational spectrum, all while also developing their writing and critical scientific reasoning abilities.
