    The Bridges to the Baccalaureate Research Training Program, administered by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), aims to facilitate the transition of a diverse cohort of research-oriented students from associate degree-granting institutions to baccalaureate degree-granting institutions in biomedical sciences. This funding opportunity encourages the establishment of partnerships between at least two educational institutions to develop evidence-informed training programs, focusing on mentoring and academic enhancement. The goal is to enhance the diversity of the biomedical research workforce by supporting individuals from underrepresented backgrounds through rigorous academic and research training. Applicants can submit new, renewal, or resubmission proposals for funding, which may last up to five years and cover trainees' stipends, tuition, and additional training expenses. Each participating institution must demonstrate adequate committed resources and a collaborative approach to promote diversity and inclusion, while training objectives must be specified based on institutional self-assessments. Programs will be evaluated for their effectiveness in increasing baccalaureate degree attainment among trainees. This initiative represents federal efforts to strengthen the biomedical research field by ensuring a diverse pool of talented researchers is prepared for future challenges.
