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（坦普尔大学-费城社区学院）联盟成立于2000年，支持学生通过整个学术生涯的主要过渡点。我们已经集中精力招聘，以便更好，更有准备的学生进入中共科学计划。我们已经提供了支持，以中共预新生，以提高科学和数学技能，我们已经提供了一个研究方向，以预新生准备学生在研究实验室实习在他们的大一。我们已经建立了教程和补充说明，以帮助学生通过他们的科学课程。我们的数据显示，B2B队列的学士学位桥梁取得了显着的成绩。虽然学术准备不足，开始在坦普尔大学的研究，CCP桥梁学生完成他们的研究与类似的坦普尔队列没有区别。在资助期间，社区学院少数民族，B2B学生和非少数民族学生之间的成绩差距已经逆转。我们希望通过增加活动和队列规模来扩大机会。我们将继续我们的最佳实践，包括我们的夏季科学学院，新生研讨会，研究技术课程，研究实习计划，补充指导和指导。我们还希望让学生有机会在CCP专门为生命科学专业设计的课程中获得Temple学位学分;科学家信息学和药物设计和药物作用。新生也将有机会参加非学分课程，向他们介绍生命科学的职业和机会。 我们将包括多达150名学生在数学和化学在线/监控教程。这些教程模拟了TU的微积分前和微积分课程以及普通化学课程。在这一举措中，我们已经包括中共教师的研究机会，作为教师发展的一部分。CCP教师将有机会通过研究项目轮换，并参加夏季课程。在这一年中，他们将管理一个研究研讨会计划和小组会议在他们的校园。这些会议将包括所有的中共学生，那些在研究实习和那些在补充说明和辅导计划。这样做，更多的学生将了解研究过程。
