The proposed project is preparing scientists and mathematicians to enter the workforce or pursue graduate degrees in STEM fields by supporting between 30 and 42 academically talented but financially disadvantaged undergraduates pursuing degrees in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematical sciences, and physics. The project is doing so by dovetailing with an existing NSF STEP grant at the University of Central Oklahoma that aims to create a seamless transition to university life for a cohort of incoming freshman STEM majors during a four-week Summer Bridge program. The project is sustaining efforts initiated with Summer Bridge initiative, providing financially disadvantaged Bridge students with academic support that enhances faculty and peer interactions by engaging them in a comprehensive orientation program, effective academic advisement and tutoring, and undergraduate research.

拟议的项目是准备科学家和数学家进入劳动力或追求STEM领域的研究生学位，支持30至42名学术才华，但经济上处于不利地位的本科生攻读生物学，化学，计算机科学，工程，数学科学和物理学学位。该项目是通过与中央俄克拉荷马州大学现有的NSF STEP赠款相结合来实现这一目标的，该赠款旨在为一批即将入学的STEM专业新生在为期四周的夏桥课程中创造一个无缝过渡到大学生活的机会。该项目是持续的努力发起的夏桥倡议，提供经济困难的桥梁学生与学术支持，提高教师和同行的互动，让他们在一个全面的方向计划，有效的学术进修和辅导，本科研究。
