The TRAnsfer to Interdisciplinary Natural sciences (TRAIN) program supports students from community college through graduation from Arizona State University's New College.  TRAIN students begin with scholarships and a robust set of support structures at the community college, which follow them seamlessly through transfer to ASU.  Students are recruited from Phoenix, South Mountain, and Glendale Community Colleges (all HSIs), where approximately 85% identify as individuals traditionally underrepresented in STEM.   In addition to scholarship support, students benefit from engagement with faculty mentors, specialized advising, peer mentoring, tutoring, research experiences, and participation in cohort-based activities.  Authentic, career-focused experiences underpin the cohort formation; students are offered various opportunities, such as undergraduate research, internships, volunteer opportunities and field trips.  Students blog about these authentic experiences, relating them to their educational and career development.  Weekly blog comments by students and faculty mentors keep the cohort connected and help to develop a robust peer-teaching and support network.                 The TRAIN program will add to the collective knowledge in STEM education by utilizing a value-added model of programmatic analysis which will analyze the unique challenges faced by students underrepresented in STEM, and determine how interventions and support structures impact diverse students differently. A cost/benefit analysis of the support structures by sub-population will be undertaken and an analysis conducted to determine which yield the best returns on investment.  Broader impacts of TRAIN include the construction, evaluation and improved understanding of an innovative transfer pipeline between the nation's largest public university and one of its largest community college systems featuring several HSIs. This project could transform how community college students are supported during the attrition-prone transfer from two-year to four-year institutions.

跨学科自然科学（TRAIN）计划支持从社区学院毕业的学生从亚利桑那州立大学的新学院毕业。TRAIN学生开始在社区学院获得奖学金和一套强大的支持结构，然后无缝地转移到亚利桑那州立大学。学生从凤凰城，南山和格伦代尔社区学院招募（所有HSIs），其中约85%的人认为传统上在STEM中代表性不足。 除了奖学金支持，学生受益于与教师导师，专业咨询，同行指导，辅导，研究经验，并在基于队列的活动参与。 真实的，以职业为中心的经验巩固了队列形成;学生提供各种机会，如本科研究，实习，志愿者机会和实地考察。学生博客这些真实的经验，将其与他们的教育和职业发展。每周由学生和教师导师博客评论保持队列连接，并帮助发展一个强大的同行教学和支持网络。 培训计划将通过利用程序分析的增值模型来增加STEM教育的集体知识，该模型将分析STEM中代表性不足的学生所面临的独特挑战，并确定干预措施和支持结构如何以不同的方式影响不同的学生。 将进行一项按人口分组的支助结构的成本/效益分析，并进行一项分析，以确定哪一种结构能产生最佳的投资回报。TRAIN的更广泛影响包括建设、评估和更好地理解全国最大的公立大学与其最大的社区学院系统之一之间的创新转移管道，该系统具有几个HSIs。该项目可以改变社区大学学生在从两年制到四年制机构的易磨损转移期间的支持方式。
