Strides Toward Encouraging Professions in Science (STEPS) is a collaborative effort by Community College of Denver(CCD), Community College of Aurora(CCA) and Metropolitan State College of Denver(MSCD) with assistance from the Graduate School of the University of Colorado Health Science Center(UCHSC). The goals of the STEPS program are 1) to increase the number of community college students, from historically under-represented minorities (URM) in biomedical reasearch, who declare majors that are likely to lead to careers in biomedical research 2) to increase the the number of URM community college students, who complete the AS degree and transfer to a 4 yr college, preferably MSCD. 3) to increase the the number of URM college students who complete the BS degree and go on to pursue a graduate degree, perferrably at UCHSC. While this third goal is not strictly supported by the NIH Bridges to the Baccalaureate program, it is certainly the ultimately goal of the Bridges to the Future Initiatives and always in the minds of our program staff. Students in the STEPS program are supported academically primarily through tutoring, while being exposed to extracurricular enrichment activities designed to introduce them to the culture of the biomedical research community. The students participate in a scientific literacy seminar aka "The Journal Club" where they learn to read and discuss primary literature. The students must participate in the Introduction to Biomedical Research Seminar to master a variety of skills that will be useful to them in their internships. Depending on each student's interest and ability, they will either be placed with a research group at UCHSC or will work with a MSCD, CCD or CCA professor on the Auraria or Lowry campus for a 160 to 320 hr internship. Travel to scientific conferences is supported both for students early in their participation in the program, again so they may become accustomed to the culture of research scientists, and later so that they may have the experience of sharing the research they have done during their internship in the form of a poster presentation. STEPS alumni have made significant contributions in the research labs they've worked and future students will do the same, hopefully some will make contributions of their own in the future in their own research groups.

迈向鼓励科学进步（STEPS）是社区学院的合作努力 丹佛大学（CCD），奥罗拉社区学院（CCA）和丹佛大都会州立学院（MSCD）， 科罗拉多大学健康科学中心（UCHSC）研究生院的协助。的 STEPS计划的目标是1）增加社区大学生的数量，从历史上 代表性不足的少数民族（URM）在生物医学重新分配，谁宣布的专业，可能会导致 生物医学研究的职业2）增加URM社区学院学生的数量，他们 完成AS学位并转入4年制大学，最好是MSCD。 3)增加完成学士学位并继续攻读学士学位的URM大学生的数量， 研究生学位，最好在UCHSC。虽然这第三个目标没有得到NIH Bridges的严格支持， 学士学位课程，这当然是未来之桥倡议的最终目标， 一直在我们节目组工作人员的脑海里。 STEPS计划的学生主要通过辅导获得学术支持，同时接触 课外活动，旨在向他们介绍生物医学研究的文化 社区学生们参加了一个科学素养研讨会，又名“杂志俱乐部”，他们学习 阅读和讨论初级文学。学生必须参加生物医学导论 研究研讨会，掌握各种技能，这将是有用的，他们在实习。取决于 每个学生的兴趣和能力，他们将被放置在UCHSC的研究小组或将工作 在Auraria或Lowry校区与MSCD，CCD或CCA教授进行160至320小时的实习。旅行 科学会议是支持学生在他们参与该计划的早期，再次， 他们可能会习惯于研究科学家的文化，后来，他们可能会有 以海报的形式分享他们在实习期间所做的研究 演示文稿. STEPS校友在他们工作过的研究实验室和未来的学生中做出了重大贡献 我也会这样做，希望有些人将来能在自己的研究中做出自己的贡献 组
