DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our TU-CCP (Temple University- Community College of Philadelphia) alliance established in 2000 has supported students through the major transition points throughout their academic career. We have focused recruiting efforts such that better, more prepared students enter CCP science programs. We have provided support to CCP pre-freshman to enhance science and math skills, we have provided a research orientation to pre-freshman to prepare students for internships in research labs in their freshman year. We have established tutorials and supplemental instruction to assist students through their science courses. Our data shows significant gains in achievement for the Bridges to the Baccalaureate, B2B cohort. Though academically under prepared to start their studies at Temple University, CCP Bridges students complete their studies indistinguishable from the analogous Temple cohort. During the course of the funded period, the achievement gap between minority, B2B students and non-minority students at the community college has been inverted. We want to expand opportunities by increasing the activities and the cohort size. We will continue our best practices that include our Summer Science Academy, Freshman seminar, research techniques course, research internship program, supplemental instruction and mentoring. We also want to give students the opportunity to earn credits toward a Temple degree while at CCP in courses specifically designed for life science majors; Informatics for Scientists and Drug Design and Drug Action. Freshmen will also have the opportunity to take a non-credit course introducing them to careers and opportunities in the life sciences. We will include up to 150 students in on-line/monitored tutorials in mathematics and chemistry. These tutorials model the curriculum of pre-calculus and calculus courses and general chemistry at TU. In this initiative we have included research opportunities for CCP faculty as part of faculty development. CCP faculty will have the opportunity to rotate through research projects and attend the courses in the summers. During year, they will manage a research seminar program and group meetings on their campus. These meetings will include all of the CCP students, those in research internships and those in the supplemental instruction and tutorial programs. In doing this, more students will come to understand the research process.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的 TU-CCP（天普大学-费城社区学院）联盟成立于 2000 年，为学生在整个学术生涯的主要过渡点提供支持。我们集中招收学生，让更优秀、准备更充分的学生进入中共科学项目。我们为 CCP 预科生提供支持，以提高科学和数学技能，我们为预科生提供研究方向，为学生在大一时在研究实验室实习做好准备。我们建立了教程和补充指导来帮助学生完成科学课程。我们的数据显示，“通往学士学位之桥”、B2B 群体的成绩取得了显着进步。尽管在学术上尚未做好进入天普大学学习的准备，但 CCP Bridges 的学生在完成学业时与天普大学的同类学生没有什么区别。在资助期间，社区学院的少数族裔、B2B学生和非少数族裔学生之间的成绩差距得到了逆转。我们希望通过增加活动和群体规模来扩大机会。我们将继续我们的最佳实践，包括夏季科学学院、新生研讨会、研究技术课程、研究实习计划、补充指导和指导。我们还希望为学生提供在 CCP 学习专门为生命科学专业设计的课程时获得天普大学学位学分的机会；科学家信息学、药物设计和药物作用。新生还将有机会参加非学分课程，向他们介绍生命科学领域的职业和机会。 我们将让多达 150 名学生参加数学和化学的在线/监控教程。这些教程模拟了 TU 的预微积分和微积分课程以及普​​通化学课程。在这一举措中，我们为 CCP 教师提供了研究机会，作为教师发展的一部分。 CCP 教师将有机会轮流研究项目并参加夏季课程。在这一年中，他们将在校园内管理研究研讨会计划和小组会议。这些会议将包括所有 CCP 学生、参加研究实习的学生以及参加补充指导和辅导项目的学生。通过这样做，更多的学生将了解研究过程。
