With a student population exceeding 37,000, El Paso Community College (EPCC) is the largest Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) located on the US-Mexico Border and the largest grantor of Associate degrees to Hispanic students in the Nation. An average of 7114 students enroll in Biology courses, 2610 in Chemistry courses, and 7565 in Psychology courses per year. EPCC's student population closely mirrors the demographics of the region (88% URM, 85% Hispanic), and the students are already interested in health issues and disparities that affect the US-Mexico border region. EPCC has pioneered strategies to get students interested in biomedical research and entering the Ph.D. pipeline. EPCC was the first community college to be funded by the RISE program. To date 159 EPCC RISE students have transferred to a university and 90 graduated with baccalaureate degrees in biomedical sciences, 17 with master's degrees, 12 with doctoral degrees, 20 are in graduate school, 4 have College/University faculty positions. The proposed Rise to the Challenge Bridge program will keep the momentum generated by the RISE Program, capitalize on the experience gained by this young institution in its efforts to prepare students for biomedical research careers, and increase the number of EPCC students transferring to the university and graduating with a baccalaureate degree. The goals of the proposed RISE to the Challenge Bridge between EPCC, UTEP and NMSU are 1) to continue providing talented EPCC students with the tools to succeed and excel in their freshman and sophomore-level biology, chemistry and math courses, 2) to continue strengthening the research knowledge and skills of EPCC students and faculty and 3) to increase the number of minority and disadvantaged students that transfer to a four-year institution with the skills necessary to graduate with a baccalaureate degree and eventually a Ph.D in biomedical fields. Our goal is that the proposed Bridge program's interventions will increase the 89% transfer rate and 57% BS graduation rate achieved by the RISE program to date, to a 95% transfer rate and 65% graduation rate The specific aims are: 1) to enhance and enrich the EPCC Biology, Chemistry and Math curriculum with proven interventions including Supplemental Instruction (SI) combined with the benefits of authentic research experiences through Course Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs), using a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach, 2) to provide year-round meaningful research experiences for 12 EPCC students working with teams of faculty from EPCC, UTEP and NMSU 3) to maintain our excellent track record of students presenting at national professional meetings, 4) to create a seamless pathway to the baccalaureate degree through EPCC's Pathways for Student Success initiative, and 5) to strengthen the biomedical science learning community and support networks established through EPCC's RISE program.

埃尔帕索社区学院（El Paso Community College，EPCC）拥有超过37，000名学生，是美国最大的社区学院。 西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）位于美国-墨西哥边境，是最大的 副学士学位的西班牙裔学生在全国。平均7114名学生报名参加生物学 2610人在化学课程，7565人在心理学课程。EPCC的学生人数 密切反映了该地区的人口统计数据（88% URM，85%西班牙裔），学生已经 对影响美墨边境地区的健康问题和差距感兴趣。EPCC开创了 策略，让学生感兴趣的生物医学研究和进入博士学位。渠道. EPCC是 第一所由RISE计划资助的社区学院。到目前为止，159名EPCC RISE学生已经 90人获得生物医学学士学位，17人获得 硕士学位，12名博士学位，20名研究生，4名学院/大学教师 岗位拟议的“迎接挑战桥”计划将保持以下方面产生的势头： RISE计划，利用这个年轻机构在努力准备 学生的生物医学研究事业，并增加EPCC学生转移到 大学毕业并获得学士学位。 拟议的RISE的目标是EPCC，UTEP和NMSU之间的挑战桥梁，1） 继续为有才华的EPCC学生提供成功的工具，并在他们的新生和 二级生物、化学和数学课程，2）继续加强研究性知识 EPCC学生和教师的技能和3）增加少数民族和弱势群体的数量 转学到四年制大学的学生，具备学士学位毕业所需的技能 学位，并最终获得生物医学领域的博士学位。我们的目标是，拟议中的桥梁计划的 干预措施将提高RISE计划实现的89%的转移率和57%的BS毕业率 到目前为止，达到95%的转移率和65%的毕业率 具体目标是：1）加强和丰富EPCC生物，化学和数学课程 经过验证的干预措施，包括补充说明（SI）与真实的好处相结合 通过基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURES）的研究经验，使用 多学科、协作方法，2）为12人提供全年有意义的研究经验 EPCC学生与EPCC，UTEP和NMSU的教师团队合作3）保持我们优秀的 学生在全国专业会议上的记录，4）创造一个无缝的途径， 通过EPCC的学生成功之路倡议学士学位，以及5）加强 通过EPCC的RISE计划建立的生物医学科学学习社区和支持网络。
