DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): San Francisco State University (SFSU) and the City College of San Francisco (CCSF) propose to continue their successful eleven-year old Baccalaureate Bridge Program together with new community college partner, Skyline College. Our multi-component program is designed to increase recruitment, retention, transfer rates, and graduation of underrepresented minority students with baccalaureate degrees in science to prepare them to pursue careers in biomedical research. The primary objectives of our Bridge Program are to: bring the mathematics skills of entering community college students to a level needed for successful completion of Calculus prior to transferring to a 4-year institution; supplement biology, chemistry and math courses at CCSF and Skyline College with academic tutoring designed to improve the performance of underrepresented minority students in these critical gateway courses; provide three different opportunities for summer research experiences for student participants; provide a link between CCSF, Skyline College and SFSU students and faculty that fosters a career in biomedical research; continue an intense advising, mentoring and monitoring system with appropriate counseling and academic support services for program participants; and improve science and math curriculum at CCSF and Skyline College. Bridges Program faculty at the three schools will implement seven activities to accomplish these objectives: Advising and Mentoring Program including Academic Success and Leadership Workshop, Pre-calculus Math Bridge Workshop, NIH Scholars Seminar Series, Academic Tutoring, Science in Action Directed Research, Independent Research Internship, and CCSF/Skyline Faculty Development. Internal and external evaluation will provide feedback on the effectiveness of the program and its activities. Since the inception of the CCSF/SFSU Bridges Program, 266 underrepresented minority science majors have participated. One hundred sixty-three participants have transferred to a 4-year school such as SFSU, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, UC San Diego, UC Los Angeles, CalPolytechnic, San Jose State University, Sacramento State University, Stanford University, Santa Clara University, Howard University, University of Florida and University of British Columbia. Eighty-one students have received BS/BA degrees and 33 of these students have sought at least one advanced degree, including 7 Ph.D. students, 12 Masters' students, 10 medical students, and 8 pharmacy/ dental/osteopathy students. Thus far, 1 Ph.D., 6 Masters degrees, 3 M.D. degrees and 4 pharmacy/ dental/osteopathy degrees have been earned

描述（由申请人提供）：旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学（SFSU）和旧金山弗朗西斯科城市学院（CCSF）建议继续与新的社区学院合作伙伴Skyline College一起成功举办11年的学士学位桥梁课程。我们的多组成部分计划旨在提高招聘，保留，转移率，并与科学学士学位的代表性不足的少数民族学生毕业，让他们准备从事生物医学研究的职业。我们的桥梁计划的主要目标是：把进入社区大学的学生的数学技能，以成功完成微积分所需的水平，然后转移到一个4年制的机构;补充生物，化学和数学课程在CCSF和天际线学院与学术辅导，旨在提高这些关键网关课程的表现代表性不足的少数民族学生;为学生参与者提供三种不同的夏季研究体验机会;在CCSF，Skyline College和SFSU学生和教师之间提供联系，促进生物医学研究的职业生涯;继续为计划参与者提供适当的咨询和学术支持服务，并继续提供强烈的咨询，指导和监控系统;并改善CCSF和Skyline College的科学和数学课程。三所学校的桥梁计划教师将实施七项活动来实现这些目标：咨询和指导计划，包括学术成功和领导力研讨会，预微积分数学桥梁研讨会，NIH学者研讨会系列，学术辅导，科学行动指导研究，独立研究实习和CCSF/Skyline教师发展。内部和外部评价将提供有关方案及其活动的有效性的反馈。自CCSF/SFSU桥梁计划成立以来，已有266名代表性不足的少数民族科学专业学生参加。163名参与者已转入4年制学校，如SFSU，UC Berkeley，UC Davis，UC圣克鲁斯，UC San Diego，UC洛杉矶，CalPolytechnic，圣何塞州立大学，萨克拉门托州立大学，斯坦福大学University，Santa Clara University，霍华德University，University of佛罗里达和University of不列颠哥伦比亚省。81名学生获得了学士/学士学位，其中33名学生至少获得了一个高级学位，包括7名博士学位。学生，12名硕士生，10名医学生和8名药学/牙科/骨病学生。到目前为止，一个博士，6个硕士学位，3个医学博士获得了4个药学/牙科/整骨学学位
