The Michigan Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program (MBBP) will facilitate the transfer of underrepresented minority (URM) science students in community colleges (CCs) to baccalaureate-degree granting programs and inspire and support their progression toward biomedical or behavioral research careers. This goal will be realized through a partnership of Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC), Henry Ford Community College (HFCC), Kalamazoo Valley Community College (KVCC), Kellogg Community College (KCC), Lake Michigan College (LMC), and Western Michigan University (WMU). Each CC will have a Program Coordinator and a cadre of faculty who are committed to the goals of MBBP and who will recruit URM science students into the program. During the academic year, students who become interested in MBBP can get information from the Program Coordinator and participating faculty of each partner college and'from the program's website www.wmich.edu/bios/bridges. Approx. 12 competitively selected CC URM students per year will begin a mentored research experience (MRE) the following summer under the guidance of faculty mentors. The MRE will include a two weeks laboratory techniques workshop, research experience in the laboratory of a research mentor at WMU, Wayne State University (WSU), or Van Andel Research Institute (VARI), biweekly all day Colloquia, lab and campus visits, alternatively at WSU, VARI and WMU. Approx. half of the new RAs will have the opportunity to continue MRE during the academic year and the following summer. RAs' research findings will be presented at in house, state, and national scientific meetings and may be published. It is expected that the cumulative effect of these experiences will encourage the transfer of CC Bridges RAs to BS-degree granting science programs and their progress toward biomedical or behavioral research careers '

密歇根大学文凭课程桥梁(MBBP)将促进未被充分代表的学生 社区学院(CCS)少数民族(URM)理科学生获得学士学位授予计划 并激励和支持他们向生物医学或行为研究职业发展。这一目标将 通过与大急流社区学院(GRCC)、亨利·福特社区合作实现 大学(HFCC)、卡拉马祖山谷社区学院(KVCC)、凯洛格社区学院(KCC)、莱克 密歇根学院(LMC)和西密歇根大学(WMU)。每个CC将有一个计划 协调员和致力于实现MBBP目标并将招聘URM的教职员工队伍 理科学生加入到这个项目中。在学年期间，对MBBP感兴趣的学生 可以从每个合作学院的项目协调员和参与教职员工那里获得信息 该项目的网站www.wmich.edu/bios/bridge。大约12名竞争性选拔的CC URM学生 每年将在以下指导下于次年夏天开始指导研究体验(MRE 教职员工导师。MRE将包括为期两周的实验室技术研讨会，研究经验 WMU、Wayne State University(WSU)或Van Andel Research的研究导师的实验室 学院(VARI)，每两周一次，全天进行座谈、实验室和校园访问，轮流访问WSU、VARI和WMU。 大约半数新注册助理员将有机会在本学年及 接下来的夏天。RAS的研究成果将在内部、州立和国家科学会议上公布。 会议，并可能出版。预计这些经验的累积效果将 鼓励将CC Bridge RAS转移到授予理科学位的理科项目及其进展 走向生物医学或行为研究职业
