DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The North San Diego County Bridges to the Future program will prepare racial and ethnic minority students for professional research careers in the biomedical sciences. The Partner Institutions are California State University San Marcos (CSUSM), Palomar College, and MiraCosta College. The Bridges Program will focus on the seamless transition of partner community college racial and ethnic minority students to CSUSM where they will be integrated into one of several MORE Program initiatives currently in operation. These initiatives are all designed to assist Bridges Scholars in completing their B.S. degrees and eventual admission to graduate programs around the country. The Bridges Program will involve 28 first and second year students each year at the partner community colleges in an integrated academic and career development environment that will include: (1) participation in a rigorous curriculum at one of the partner community colleges, (2) Supplemental Instruction in selected historically difficult courses, (3) summer course work and participation in a range of academic, leadership and career development workshops, (4) participation in a seminar series; (5) an opportunity to conduct research at CSUSM; (6) comprehensive academic and career advising; and (7) participation in a tracking program designed to insure transfer to a four-year institution. The Program is designed to create a culture at the Partnership Institutions where racial and ethnic minority students view a career in the biomedical sciences as achievable. The specific goals of the Bridges Program are to: (1) Increase the Number of Underrepresented Minority Students Pursuing Research Careers in the Biomedical Sciences; (2) Improve the Training of Underrepresented Biomedical Science Students at Palomar and Mira Costa College; (3) Develop Partnerships that Support and Facilitate Underrepresented Minority Student Transfers at Key Points in the Educational Pipeline; and (4) Build a Sense of Community and Cultivate Leadership Among Bridges Scholars. Each major program goal has a set of specific objectives with quantitatively measurable outcomes that will be used to monitor overall project success. The Partner Institutions' commitment to diversity and multiculturalism, their pledge of significant financial resources, the active support of the North County High Education Alliance, new science and academic buildings equipped with modern scientific instruments and powerful instructional resources, the significant Bridges Scholar student pool at the partner community colleges, the extensive experience of the proposed program director, and the currently operating MBRS SCORE, MARC U*STAR and planned MBRS IUSE Programs at CSUSM make the Partner Institutions ideally situated to initiate a successful North San Diego County Bridges to the Future program.

描述(由申请人提供)：北圣地亚哥县通向未来的桥梁项目将为种族和少数民族学生在生物医学科学领域的专业研究生涯做准备。合作机构是加州州立大学圣马科斯分校(CSUSM)、帕洛玛学院和米拉科斯塔学院。布里奇斯计划将重点放在伙伴社区、大学、种族和少数民族学生无缝过渡到CSUSM，在那里他们将被整合到目前正在运作的其他几个计划倡议之一。这些举措都是为了帮助布里奇斯奖学金获得者完成学士学位，并最终被全国各地的研究生项目录取。Bridges计划每年将有28名合作伙伴社区学院的一年级和二年级学生进入一个综合的学术和职业发展环境，其中包括：(1)参加合作社区学院的严格课程，(2)对选定的历史困难课程进行补充指导，(3)暑期课程工作和参加一系列学术、领导力和职业发展研讨会，(4)参加系列研讨会；(5)有机会在CSUSM进行研究；(6)全面的学术和职业咨询；以及(7)参加旨在确保转到四年制院校的跟踪计划。该计划的目的是在伙伴关系机构创造一种文化，在那里，种族和少数民族学生认为在生物医学科学领域的职业生涯是可以实现的。桥梁计划的具体目标是：(1)增加在生物医学领域从事研究工作的少数族裔学生的人数；(2)改善帕洛玛和米拉科斯塔学院对代表不足的少数族裔学生的培训；(3)发展伙伴关系，支持和促进在教育管道中的关键节点的少数族裔学生的转学；以及(4)在布里奇斯学者中建立社区意识和培养领导力。每个主要计划目标都有一套具体的目标，这些目标具有可量化衡量的结果，这些结果将用于监测整个项目的成功。合作机构对多样性和多元文化的承诺、对大量财政资源的承诺、北县高等教育联盟的积极支持、配备现代科学仪器和强大教学资源的新科学和学术建筑、合作伙伴社区学院的重要桥梁奖学金学生池、拟议的项目主任的丰富经验以及CSUSM目前运营的MBRS分数、MARC U*STAR和计划中的MBRS IUSE项目，使合作机构处于启动成功的北圣地亚哥县通往未来的桥梁项目的理想位置。
