CHICAGO LINKAGE FOR MINORITIES IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES

描述（改编自研究者摘要）：这是一项竞争性研究， 继续申请现有的学士学位衔接课程 芝加哥州立大学的课程。 芝加哥联系的目标 少数民族在生物医学科学（CLIMB）计划是为了增加 少数群体通过促进其在生物医学领域的职业发展而进入生物医学职业的人数 从两年制大学成功过渡到提供 学士学位。 该计划于1993年首次获得资助， 1995年成功连任。 芝加哥州立大学（CSU）是美国最大的少数民族大学之一 在中西部的大学，已经与三所芝加哥大学建立了合作关系， 城市学院（CCC）以少数民族为主招生：Pandy-King 奥利弗-哈维学院和哈罗德华盛顿学院。 通过这个 伙伴关系，一些学生和教师的活动已经进行 增加CCC学生的成功过渡和毕业 进入鉴证组 学生活动旨在提供职业 辅导，学术支持，课程充实，同伴和导师的支持， 参与研究和进入生物医学职业的动机。 CCC教师专业发展的活动包括夏季 CSU研究实验室的研究，CCC参加CSU研讨会 教师，由CCC教师在地方和国家研究会议出席， 改善中央气候中心科学设备， 课程审查和开发可联合教授的课程 CSU和CCC教师。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Investigator's Abstract): This is a competing continuation application for an existing Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program at Chicago State University. The objective of the Chicago Linkage for Minorities in Biomedical Sciences (CLIMB) Program is to increase the number of minorities entering biomedical careers by facilitating their successful transition from a two-year college to one offering a baccalaureate degree. This program was first funded in 1993 and was successfully renewed in 1995. Chicago State University (CSU), one of the largest predominately minority universities in the midwest, has formed a partnership with three Chicago City Colleges (CCC) with predominately minority enrollments: Kennedy-King College, Olive-Harvey College, and Harold Washington College. Through this partnership, a number of student and faculty activities have been undertaken to increase the successful transition and graduation of CCC students entering CSU. Student activities are designed to provide career counselling, academic support, course enrichment, peer and mentor support, participation in research and motivation to enter biomedical careers. Activities for the professional development of CCC faculty include summer research in CSU research laboratories, CSU seminar participation by CCC faculty, attendance by CCC faculty at local and national research meetings, improvement of CCC science equipment in conjunction with an on-going curriculum review and development of potential courses to be jointly taught by CSU and CCC faculty.
