DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program is a collaboration of Bunker Hill (BHCC) and Roxbury Community Colleges (RCC), and the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB). The BHCC-RCC-UMB program addresses a significant need in the Boston Area: increasing the numbers of underrepresented community college students transferring to baccalaureate degree programs in the biomedical sciences. The program will achieve this goal by 1) increasing underrepresented students' awareness of biomedical careers and students' confidence in their ability to be successful in a rigorous baccalaureate degree program in the sciences, 2) by improving students' skills and knowledge, especially in mathematics, research techniques, and scientific reasoning, and 3) by increasing the number of underrepresented students who enroll in and successfully complete science courses at the community colleges and who successfully transfer into the biomedical majors at UMB. Eight activities are designed to prepare Bridges students for baccalaureate degree programs in biomedical fields: 1) assessment of students' needs, 2) immersive orientation to the objectives and expectations of the program and to scientific research, 3) intensive and aggressive advising, 4) facilitated study groups and academic tutoring, 5) mathematics workshop, 6) research skills workshop, 7) biomedical research seminars, and 8) mentored research experiences. Also, UMB has several strong collaborative partnership arrangements with the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center, who have committed to place our students in cancer research laboratories. They will also help us identify Boston-area scientists who previously participated in Bridges, RISE, MBRS/MARC Programs to be recruited to mentor Bridges Fellows and lead facilitated study groups. BHCC, RCC and UMB are deeply committed to providing post- secondary access for underrepresented students. The institutions have a strong history of collaboration and all have committed significant resources that will ensure the Bridges Program's success. In addition, the proposed Bridges Program will impact the public health of the Greater Boston Area and the nation by increasing the numbers of underrepresented minority students who enter career paths in the biomedical sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的BACCALAULEATE计划的桥梁是Bunker Hill（BHCC）和Roxbury社区学院（RCC）以及马萨诸塞大学波士顿大学（UMB）的合作。 BHCC-RCC-BUMB计划满足了波士顿地区的重要需求：增加了代表性不足的社区大学学生的数量，这些学生在生物医学科学中转移到学士学位课程。该计划将通过1）通过1）实现这一目标来提高代表性不足的学生对生物医学职业和学生在科学领域的严格学位学士学位课程中取得成功能力的信心，2）通过提高学生的技能和知识，尤其是在数学，研究技术和科学推理中提高学生的技能和知识，并通过培养阶段，并能够通过阶段来提高阶段，并以众多的努力来培养阶段，从而使他们能够在众多阶段，并能够从中获得成功的人数。大学，成功地进入UMB的生物医学专业。八项活动旨在为桥梁学生准备生物医学领域的学位课程准备：1）评估学生的需求，2）对计划和科学研究的目标和期望的沉浸式取向，3）强化和积极的咨询，4）4）促进研究小组和学术辅导，5）数学研究，5）研究技巧，6）研究技能，7）7），7）7）研究经验。此外，UMB与Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center进行了一些强有力的合作伙伴关系，他们致力于将我们的学生纳入癌症研究实验室。他们还将帮助我们确定以前参加过桥梁，Rise，MBRS/MARC计划的波士顿地区科学家，并将招募到指导桥梁研究员和领导促进的研究小组。 BHCC，RCC和UMB非常致力于为代表性不足的学生提供次要访问。这些机构有着悠久的协作历史，并且都拥有大量资源，以确保桥梁计划的成功。此外，拟议的桥梁计划将通过增加在生物医学科学中进入职业道路的人数不足的少数族裔学生的人数，从而影响大波士顿地区和国家的公共卫生。
