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“通向文凭(B2B)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。五名B2B学生 每年将通过严格的审查过程进行选择，并通过P2P提供教育准备，同时 被监禁，过渡到两年制助理授予学校(BCCC)，提供技能和方法 在BCCC工作期间，参加霍华德大学为期10周的STEM研究实习 在一年级到二年级之间，然后在BCCC完成他们的大专学位后，过渡到四年制学校。 我们计划在5年的资助期内每年启动一个由5名参与者组成的队列。该计划将解决 以下是建议中详细解释的内容：1.技能发展将通过 P2P项目的领导力、大学和专业准备程度以及SAT部分和研究入门 工作坊将在社区大学期间实施。2.研究经验将是 通过与霍华德大学近20名合作调查人员之一进行为期10周的实习获得 学者们将出席一次全国会议，介绍他们的工作。3.提供课程和方法 入门课程的补充说明，开发将包括分子技术课程 纳入普通生物学(BCCC BTC 105-生物技术的技术和仪器)4.A. 招聘计划：我们将开展提案中详细说明的大量活动，但简单地说，P2P已经奏效了 每年有100多人参加他们积极运行的计划。将优先选择前五名 人的P2P程序。其他招聘也将进行，如在当地嘻哈和 排名前40位的广播电台，并利用已与社区组织和政府建立的联系 (MD-DOC)合作伙伴。4.留任计划：我们将提供奖励：60%的学费奖学金，每年的津贴， 带薪实习，以及回馈的指导机会。P2P-B2B计划的目标是创建 监狱与巴尔的摩两年制和四年制大学之间的协同作用(创建从监狱到大学的管道)和 增加从AA学位到理学士/学士学位的过渡。合作伙伴和个人助理/个人助理：1.霍华德大学 2.巴尔的摩市社区学院(Schaumloffel博士，共同派)，3. 专业人员的监狱(Skudrzyk女士，PD)。跨学科视角：跨学科方法 往往需要用来推动研究和教育的前沿。Andrisse博士和P2P第一手了解 在目前和以前被监禁的人中错失了大量的才华和潜力 人口。这些男性和女性主要是有色人种，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，这个项目正在采取高度创新的 通过创建一种将研究、教育和监禁领域相交的方法 破土动工的监狱到大学和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.
