DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Daytona Beach Community College (DBCC), in collaboration with Bethune-Cookman College, University of Central Florida, Florida A&M University, Whitney Laboratory of the University of Florida, and Stetson University, proposes to give basic training in biomedical research at the community college level for underrepresented minority students and, upon graduation, bridge them to a baccalaureate institution. The goal of the program is to increase the number of minorities who graduate with a science degree and pursue a biomedical career. To achieve this goal, DBCC will recruit 20 minority students each year for 3 years. Student retention strategies include, but are not limited to, academic advising, counseling and tutoring. Bridge students will take a Bridge-specific Research Methods course and will work on research projects at DBCC. The students will also gain experience by working in the teaching laboratories as laboratory assistants. Research faculty from the partner institutions will give guest lectures in the Bridge-specific Research Methods Course. During summer, each Bridge student will be paired with a research preceptor from one of the five partner institutions to do research in the laboratory for 10 weeks. Students will present their research work at regional and national scientific meetings. The Bridge program at DBCC will also establish and host an internet server for the use of Bridge students all across the nation. This site will be used by Bridge students to network among themselves, discuss their research programs with their peers, and to learn about other institutions, especially the four-year colleges or universities where they would like to pursue their higher education. Other activities that will promote an interest and knowledge in science include Science Expo at DBCC where students will present their research work to faculty and students from other area colleges, and the Science Colloquia, a forum of discussion of scientific papers, books on scientific discoveries, and biographies of scientists to promote interest in the sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：代托纳海滩社区学院（DCC），与白求恩-库克曼学院，中央佛罗里达大学，佛罗里达A&M大学，佛罗里达大学惠特尼实验室和斯特森大学合作，建议在社区学院为代表性不足的少数民族学生提供生物医学研究的基本培训，并在毕业后，将他们连接到学士学位机构。该计划的目标是增加获得科学学位并从事生物医学职业的少数民族人数。为了实现这一目标，DBCC将每年招收20名少数民族学生，为期3年。学生保留策略包括但不限于学术建议，咨询和辅导。桥梁学生将参加桥梁特定的研究方法课程，并将在DBC的研究项目工作。学生还将通过在教学实验室担任实验室助理来获得经验。来自合作机构的研究人员将在桥梁特定的研究方法课程中进行客座讲座。在夏季，每个桥梁学生将与来自五个合作机构之一的研究导师配对，在实验室进行为期10周的研究。学生将在区域和国家科学会议上介绍他们的研究工作。DBC的Bridge程序还将 建立和托管一个互联网服务器，供全国各地的桥牌学生使用。Bridge学生将使用该网站进行相互交流，与同龄人讨论他们的研究项目，并了解其他机构，特别是他们想接受高等教育的四年制学院或大学。其他活动，将促进在科学的兴趣和知识，包括科学博览会在DBC，学生将介绍他们的研究工作，教师和学生从其他地区的学院，和科学座谈会，一个论坛的讨论科学论文，科学发现的书籍，和传记的科学家，以促进对科学的兴趣。
