Project Bridge was founded at Johns Hopkins University by graduate students in February 2013. As young scientists who have experienced difficulty communicating our research to friends and family, we carry out Project Bridge's vision through the Graduate Student Association at the School of Medicine. In March 2017, we officially created our second chapter of Project Bridge at the University of Colorado, Denver. Since then, Indy and UT-Knoxville have joined Project Bridge.
Our Theory of Change: It contains the necessary building blocks to bring about a desired vision. To reach our mission of fostering public interest in science research, we have mapped the necessary steps required to bring about our cyclical theory of change.
- Create opportunities for community interaction
- Foster public interest in science research
- Produce new advocates for science research and funding
- Cultivate an increased interest in science as a career
- Foster academic interest in public communication
- Elevate the communication skills of scientists
