Bridges to the Baccalaureate Research Training Program at Howard University and Baltimore City Community College

霍华德大学和巴尔的摩市的“通向学士学位（B2B）的桥梁”研究培训计划 社区学院”计划是一个创造性的STEM培训计划，非常适合B2B。5 B2B学生 每年将通过严格的审查过程进行选择，并由P2P提供教育准备，同时仍然 被监禁，过渡到2年的联营公司授予学校（BCCC），提供技能和方法 在BCCC的发展，参加为期10周的STEM研究实习在霍华德在夏季 在第1年和第2年之间，然后过渡到4年制学校，在BCCC完成副学士学位后。 我们计划在5年资助期内每年启动一个5人参与的队列。该计划将解决 以下，在提案中详细解释：1.技能发展将通过 领导力，大学和专业准备，P2P计划的SAT部分和研究介绍 讲习班将在社区学院期间举行。2.研究经验将是 通过与霍华德大学近20名合作研究人员中的一名进行为期10周的实习获得， 学者们将参加一个全国性的会议，介绍他们的工作。3.课程和方法提供 入门课程的补充说明，发展将包括分子技术课程 纳入普通生物学（BCCC BTC 105 -生物技术技术和仪器）4。A. 招聘计划：我们将在提案中详细介绍大量活动，但简单地说，P2P已经有效 每年有超过100人参加他们积极开展的项目。将优先选择前五名 P2P项目的人。其他招聘也将进行，如在当地嘻哈音乐上投放广告， 前40家广播电台，并利用与社区组织和政府的现有联系 （MD-DOC）合作伙伴。4. B。保留计划：我们将提供奖励：60%的学费奖学金，年度津贴， 带薪实习和回馈社会的指导机会P2P-B2B项目的目标是创建 巴尔的摩的监狱与2年制和4年制大学之间的协同作用（创建监狱到大学的管道）， 增加从AA学位到BS/BA学位的过渡。合作伙伴和PD/PI：1.霍华德大学 医学院（Dr. Andrisse，首席PI），2。巴尔的摩城市社区学院（Schaumlostan博士，共同PI），3。 监狱转专业人员（Skudrzyk女士，PD）。跨学科视角：跨学科方法 往往需要推动研究和教育的前沿。Andrisse博士和P2P知道第一手资料， 大量的人才和潜力，正在错过了在目前和以前的监禁 人口这些男人和女人主要是有色人种，因此有两个重要的指标， 在科学和教育领域的代表性不足。因此，该项目具有高度的创新性， 方法交叉的研究，教育和监禁的世界，通过创建一个 开创性的从监狱到大学再到STEM的管道

The “Bridges to Baccalaureate (B2B) Research Training Program at Howard University and Baltimore City Community College” program is a creative STEM training program that is a great fit for B2B. Five B2B students per year will be selected via a rigorous review process and provided educational readiness by P2P while still incarcerated, transition to a 2-year associates granting school (BCCC), be provided skills and methods development while at BCCC, participate in a 10-week STEM research internship at Howard in the summer in between years 1 and 2, then transition to a 4-year school, upon completing their associates degree at BCCC. We plan to start a 5-participant cohort each year of the 5-year funding period. The program will address the following, which is explained in detail within the proposal: 1. Skills development will be gained via the Leadership, College & Professional Readiness, and SAT portions of the P2P program and Intro to Research Workshops will be implemented during the community college time span. 2. Research Experience will be obtained via a 10-week internship with one of nearly 20 collaborating investigators at Howard University and scholars will attend a national meeting to present their work. 3. Curriculum and Methods To provide supplemental instruction for gateway courses, development will include a molecular techniques course incorporated into General Biology (BCCC BTC 105 - Techniques and Instrumentation for Biotechnology) 4. A. Recruitment Plan: We will do a multitude of activities detailed in the proposal but briefly, P2P already works with over 100 individuals per year in their actively running program. Priority will be given to select the top five people of the P2P program. Other recruitment will be done as well, such as placing ads on local hip-hop and top 40 radio stations and utilizing connections already in place with community organizations and government (MD-DOC) partners. 4. B. Retention Plan: We will provide incentives: 60% tuition scholarships, yearly stipends, paid internships, and mentoring opportunities to give back. The goal of the P2P-B2B program is to create synergies between prisons and 2- and 4- year colleges in Baltimore (creating a prison-to-college pipeline) and to increase the transition to BS/BA degrees from AA degrees. Partners & PDs/PIs: 1. Howard University College of Medicine (Dr. Andrisse, lead-PI), 2. Baltimore City Community College (Dr. Schaumloffel, Co-PI), 3. Prison to Professionals (Ms. Skudrzyk, PD). Cross-Disciplinary Perspective: Interdisciplinary approaches are often needed to push the frontiers of research and education. Dr. Andrisse and P2P know first-hand the vast amount of talent and potential that is being missed out on in the currently and formerly incarcerated population. These men and women are primarily people of color and thus have two significant indicators of underrepresentation in the sciences and education. Thus, this project is taking the highly innovative approach to intersect the worlds of research, education, and incarceration by creating a ground-breaking prison-to-college-and-STEM pipeline.
