Guidebook
This Guidebook is a product of the Fisk-Vanderbilt LSAMP Regional Center of Excellence (FVCoE) in Broadening Participation (NSF HRD 1826755). The goal of this work was to build on the original Fisk-Vanderbilt Master’s-to-PhD Bridge Program (FVBP) toolkit, providing an overview of the FVBP, greater context for the use of the tools, and analysis of supporting research-based literature. It is structured around a set of 5 logic models, one intended to give a snapshot of the program as a whole and 4 outlining its main components: Recruitment and Admission, Faculty Collaboration, Mentoring, and Promotion. We hope this guide is useful to practitioners looking to adopt or adapt our practices. If needed, the accompanying toolkit is available through the form below.
Toolkit for Practitioners
