The CCNY Research and Mentoring for Postbaccalaureates in Biology (RaMP) project will establish a New York regional research training network of faculty mentors, external co-mentors, and recent bachelor’s degree biochemistry or biology graduates whose readiness to enter science-enabled careers requires augmented technical and professional skills. Building on a CCNY initiative comprising 18 faculty-led research teams that work at the interface of biochemistry, biophysics, and biodesign (B3) to discover how molecular machines work as mediators of biological functions in living organisms, the proposed network will recruit partners that include external collaborators, technology and professional training specialists, college science department chairs, and current practitioners of diverse science-related occupations. To better enable these college graduates to undertake rewarding careers in biological fields, the CCNY On-Ramp to the Molecular Machine Shop postbaccalaureate research training project (RaMMMP) will have three themes: 1) to guide postbaccalaureate mentees in immersive research experiences coordinated with a program of professional training and career exploration; 2) to address current gender, racial, ethnic, and economic disparities in workforce participation among those pursuing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers; 3) to reinforce pre-baccalaureate efforts to produce an educated citizenry that is capable of handling societal issues that are technically complex. The trainee stipend for the 2026-27 cohort will be $40,000. There is an allowance for relocation costs.
