Riverside Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program (Riverside B2B)

项目摘要 加州大学伯克利分校医学院建议创建一个研究教育计划，以促进 学生进入生物医学和行为科学专业，最终目标是增加对 在这些领域以研究为导向的职业中，少数群体的代表性不足。许多人代表不足 少数族裔(URM)学生较少获得高质量的科学指导、资源和丰富 在公共教育的所有阶段都有机会。非裔美国人、奇卡诺/拉丁裔、美洲原住民、夏威夷人 阿拉斯加原住民、太平洋岛民或社会经济困难的学生构成了一小部分 在K-12和高等教育中，理科教师的比例更低 生物医学和行为科学领域需要研究生学位。 拟议的计划，河滨大桥到文凭(河滨B2B)将在 河滨城市学院(RCC)和加州大学河滨分校(UCR)，以确定致力于 追求科学事业，并促进他们转学并成功完成#年学士学位 STEM专业，重点是生物医学和行为科学相关研究。该计划 包含旨在大幅提高两年制毕业总人数的干预措施和支助服务 RCC桥梁奖学金获得者的评级，以帮助他们在接下来的两年时间里实现标准化的毕业 在UCR预科，并解决STEM方案中URM损耗的原因。具体计划 组成部分包括：有偿的研究经验，以激发对职业选择的更多认识 生物医学和行为科学，并减少从事非学术工作的必要性； 在RCC Bridges Scholars转到UCR之前开始的教职员工指导；以及一个夏令营，以 让即将入学的学生熟悉UCR的课程结构和学生支持服务。 通过创建一个连接社区学院和四年制大学教育的项目，并提供 在转会前的充分准备和转会后的辅导，我们相信我们可以克服这些缺点。 并提高URM转学学生在生物医学和行为科学领域的成功和坚持性 加州大学河滨分校。

Project Summary The School of Medicine at UCR proposes to create a research education program to facilitate transfer of students into Biomedical and Behavioral science majors, with the ultimate goal of increasing participation of underrepresented minority groups in research-oriented careers in these areas. Many underrepresented minority (URM) students have less access to high quality science instruction, resources and enriching opportunities at all stages of public education. African Americans, Chicano/Latino, Native Americans, Hawaiian and Alaskan Natives, Pacific Islander or socio-economically disadvantaged students make up a small percentage of science teachers in K-12 as well as higher education, and are even more underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral science fields requiring post-graduate degrees. The proposed program, Riverside Bridges to the Baccalaureate (Riverside B2B) will be established between Riverside City College (RCC) and the University of California Riverside (UCR) to identify students committed to pursuing a career in science and facilitate their transfer and successful completion of Baccalaureate degrees in STEM majors, with a specific focus on biomedical and behavioral science-related research. The program contains interventions and support services designed to substantially improve the overall two-year graduation rate for RCC Bridges Scholars, to help them achieve graduation in a normative two-year window following matriculation at UCR, and to address the causes of URM attrition in STEM programs. Specific program components include: compensated research experiences to stimulate greater awareness of career options in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and to reduce the necessity of working in non-academic jobs; peer and faculty mentoring that begins before RCC Bridges Scholars transfer to UCR; and a summer “boot camp” to familiarize incoming students with UCR's course structure and student support services. By creating a program that bridges the community college and four-year university education and provides adequate preparation before and mentoring after transfer, we believe we can overcome these disadvantages and improve the success and persistence of URM transfer students in biomedical and behavioral sciences at the University of California, Riverside.
