This project features academic institutions partnering with local community based organizations to increase the number of students graduating with an associate's or bachelor's degree in the sciences or mathematics. At its heart are faculty at a four-year institution who are collaborating with colleagues at a local community college to facilitate student transitions from the two-year institution into a broad range of majors in the sciences and mathematics at the baccalaureate institution. Project activities include a non-residential summer bridge program and a summer research experience, complemented by monthly academic year meetings and faculty-to-student and student-to-student mentoring. The bridging program is designed to mitigate weak academic preparation and issues related to transitioning to the university setting from impoverished/rural communities. The authentic research work provides peak experiences that carry students through the challenges of meeting academic standards. A learning community with a strong thematic center ("Building a Better Environment") provides a point of convergence for diverse scientific interests and highlights the value of interdisciplinary research. The assessment process includes formative and summative evaluation strategies, with particular emphasis on measuring changes in student perceptions and attitudes. Dissemination processes include an array of presentations and publications in both public and academic arenas. The project's intellectual merit lies in its strong programmatic activities that provide unique new opportunities in teaching, research and scholarship that benefit students, faculty, and the participating institutions alike. Evaluation of the project centers on developing evidence of the efficacy of the approach as a model for regional application, where more partnerships of 2- and 4-year institutions are arising as a means to offset the economic barriers to higher education. The project's broader impacts are felt through its creation and enhancement of networks and partnerships for research and education, as well as the professional development of participating faculty. The project is also leading to a better-prepared, more flexible and demographically representative workforce, with consequent economic impact in the northwest Ohio region.

该项目的特点是学术机构与当地社区组织合作，以增加获得科学或数学副学士或学士学位的学生人数。其核心是一所四年制大学的教师，他们与当地社区学院的同事合作，促进学生从两年制大学过渡到学士学位机构的科学和数学专业。项目活动包括一个非住宅夏桥计划和夏季研究经验，辅之以每月学年会议和教师对学生和学生对学生的指导。桥接计划旨在减轻薄弱的学术准备和相关的问题，从贫困/农村社区过渡到大学设置。真实的研究工作提供了高峰经验，使学生通过满足学术标准的挑战。一个具有强大主题中心（“建设更好的环境”）的学习社区为不同的科学兴趣提供了一个汇聚点，并突出了跨学科研究的价值。评估过程包括形成性和总结性评估战略，特别强调衡量学生的看法和态度的变化。传播过程包括在公共和学术领域发表一系列演讲和出版物。该项目的智力价值在于其强大的计划活动，提供独特的教学，研究和奖学金，使学生，教师和参与机构都受益的新机会。该项目的评价集中在开发的方法作为区域应用的模式，其中更多的2年和4年制院校的伙伴关系，以抵消高等教育的经济障碍的一种手段出现的有效性的证据。该项目通过建立和加强研究和教育网络和伙伴关系以及参与教师的专业发展产生了更广泛的影响。该项目还导致了一个更好的准备，更灵活和人口代表性的劳动力，从而在西北俄亥俄州地区的经济影响。
