This proposal is an application for the Bridges to Baccalaureate Degree Program (RFA: GM-99-010). The main goal of the proposed program to be implemented at Humacao University College- University of Puerto Rico (HUC-UPR) is to introduce Hispanic students, coming from three community colleges of the University of Puerto Rico system, to degrees and career opportunities in the biomedical sciences. This will be achieved by the following activities: (1) faculty from HUC-UPR will organize and offer a seminar/workshop/lecture series at the three community colleges which will introduce enrolled students to science research projects, techniques, and methodologies in progress at HUC-UPR; (2) twenty to thirty students from the three community colleges will be invited to an "open house" at the HUC-UPR once during each academic year for a one-day orientation program that will introduce them to potential faculty research mentors, research facilities, available student services, actual classrooms, and academic advisors who will provide orientation on degrees and career alternatives in the disciplines; (3) twelve students (half of them women) from the target institutions will be selected, after their first-year of community college studies, to conduct full time research during an eight-week summer program with faculty research mentors at the HUC-UPR; (4) a total of two science instructors from the target institutions will be invited to participate in and conduct research at HUC-UPR during the eight-week summer program in order to enhance instructional capabilities at each community college; (5) all participants who transfer to B.S. programs at HUC-UPR will be incorporated into a support program that will guide them until the completion of their degrees, with systematic encouragement and advisement to go into graduate or professional schools. After the summer program, formative and summative asseement will be conducted in order to determine the success of the program.

该提案是桥梁学位课程（RFA：GM-99-010）的应用。 拟议计划的主要目标是在Humacao大学学院 - 波多黎各大学（HUC-UPR）介绍西班牙裔学生，来自波多黎各大学的三所社区学院，在生物医学科学的学位和职业机会上。 这将通过以下活动来实现：（1）HUC-UPR的教师将在三所社区学院组织并提供研讨会/讲习班/讲座系列，该课程将向HUC-UPR的科学研究项目，技术和方法介绍入学的学生； （2）在每个学年中，将邀请三所社区大学的二十至三十名学生参加HUC-UPR的“开放日”，以进行一日定向计划，将其介绍给潜在的教师研究导师，研究设施，可用的学生服务，实际课堂，实际课堂和学术顾问，这些顾问将在学位和职业替代方案中提供学科替代方向； （3）将在他们的第一年社区大学学习后，将选择来自目标机构的十二名学生（其中一半的女性），以在HUC-UPR的教师研究导师为期八周的夏季课程中进行全职研究； （4）在为期八周的夏季计划期间，将邀请目标机构的两名科学指导员在HUC-UPR参加并进行研究，以增强每个社区学院的教学能力； （5）所有转移到学士学位的参与者HUC-UPR的计划将纳入支持计划中，该计划将指导他们直到学位完成，并有系统地鼓励和建议进入研究生或专业学校。 在夏季计划之后，将进行形成性和总结性，以确定该计划的成功。
