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 '

密歇根大学桥梁课程 (MBBP) 将促进代表性不足的学生的转移 社区学院 (CC) 的少数族裔 (URM) 理科学生获得学士学位授予项目 激励和支持他们向生物医学或行为研究职业发展。这个目标将 通过大急流城社区学院 (GRCC)、亨利·福特社区的合作伙伴关系实现 学院 (HFCC)、卡拉马祖谷社区学院 (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都会有一个程序 致力于实现 MBBP 目标并将招募 URM 的协调员和教职人员骨干 理科学生加入该计划。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师那里获取信息 该计划的网站 www.wmich.edu/bios/bridges。大约。 12 名经过竞争选出的 CC URM 学生 每年将在接下来的夏天在以下人员的指导下开始指导研究经历（MRE） 教师导师。 MRE 将包括为期两周的实验室技术研讨会、以下方面的研究经验： WMU、韦恩州立大学 (WSU) 或 Van Andel Research 的研究导师的实验室 研究所 (VARI)，每两周一次全天座谈会、实验室和校园参观，或者在 WSU、VARI 和 WMU。 大约。一半的新 RA 将有机会在学年期间继续 MRE，并且 接下来的夏天。 RA 的研究成果将在内部、州和国家科学会议上发表 会议并可能会发表。预计这些经验的累积效应将 鼓励 CC Bridges RA 转为授予学士学位的科学项目及其进展 走向生物医学或行为研究职业’
