DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Building Bioengineering Bridges (B3) will work with underrepresented minority students from Seattle Community College as they transition to baccalaureate degree programs at the University of Washington (UW) and other four-year universities. The B3 program will focus on how bioengineering and biotechnology can be used to solve global health problems. The B3 program will provide both academic opportunities and mentored research experiences for students and will include workshops and seminars to provide students will experience giving scientific presentations. The program will provide students with the background and experiences necessary to successfully transition from their community college to four-year universities. Through this effort, the partnering institutions will provide a source of outstanding URM students' interested biomedical research to a variety of departments within the UW and other universities. The B3 program will involve 10-20 African American, Hispanic American, Native American, and/or Natives of the US Pacific Islands students who are currently enrolled at Seattle Central Community College (SCCC). These students will enroll in a new course "Biotechnology & World Health." Students will also attend workshops and seminars presentations to gain experience presenting scientific research to various audiences. These experiences will provide students with the skills necessary to give scientific poster and oral presentations and to write for technical journals. A cohort of students who complete this course will be offered mentored-laboratory experiences within laboratories in the Department of Bioengineering, Material Sciences or other departments at the UW. Students who participate in the mentored laboratory program will present their work with other undergraduate students enrolled in other UW programs during a summer research symposium. We expect that in five years: a) the overall institutional transfer rate of students from targeted groups/populations from the participating associate degree-granting institution(s) to baccalaureate degree programs in biomedical/behavioral sciences will increase by 50%; b) at least 70% of the Bridges students, upon or before graduation from the associate degree program, will transfer to baccalaureate degree programs in biomedical/behavioral sciences; and c) at least 75% of the transferring Bridges students will successfully complete their bachelor's degrees in biomedical/behavioral sciences. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Building Bioengineering Bridges (B3) will work with underrepresented minority students from Seattle Community College as they transition to baccalaureate degree programs at the University of Washington (UW) and other four-year universities. The B3 program will focus on how bioengineering and biotechnology can be used to solve global health problems. The B3 program will provide both academic opportunities and mentored research experiences for students and will include workshops and seminars to provide students will experience giving scientific presentations. The program will provide students with the background and experiences necessary to successfully transition from their community college to four-year universities. Through this effort, the partnering institutions will provide a source of outstanding URM students interested biomedical research to a variety of departments within the UW and other universities.

描述（由申请人提供）：建筑生物工程桥梁（B3）将与来自西雅图社区学院的代表性不足的少数群体合作，因为他们过渡到华盛顿大学（UW）和其他四年制大学的学士学位课程。 B3计划将重点介绍如何使用生物工程和生物技术来解决全球健康问题。 B3计划将为学生提供学术机会和指导的研究经验，并将包括讲习班和研讨会，以提供学生进行科学演讲。该计划将为学生提供成功从其社区大学过渡到四年制大学所必需的背景和经验。通过这项努力，合作机构将为UW和其他大学的各个部门提供杰出的URM学生感兴趣的生物医学研究的来源。 B3计划将涉及10-20名非裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，美洲原住民和/或美国太平洋岛屿学生的本地学生，目前已入学，他们目前已入学。这些学生将参加新的课程“生物技术与世界卫生”。学生还将参加研讨会和研讨会演讲，以获得向各种观众展示科学研究的经验。这些经验将为学生提供提供科学海报和口头演讲并为技术期刊写作所需的技能。完成本课程的一系列学生将在UW生物工程，物质科学或其他部门的实验室内提供指导的实验室经验。参加指导实验室计划的学生将与夏季研究研讨会期间参加其他UW课程的其他本科生展示他们的工作。我们预计在五年内：a）来自参与副学士学位授予机构的目标群体/人群的总体机构转移率是生物医学/行为科学学士学位课程的总体转移率将增加50％； b）至少有70％的桥梁学生在副学士学位课程毕业后或之前将转移到生物医学/行为科学学士学位课程中； c）至少有75％的转移桥学生将成功完成其生物医学/行为科学学士学位。 公共卫生相关性：建筑生物工程桥梁（B3）将与来自西雅图社区学院的代表性不足的少数族裔学生合作，他们过渡到华盛顿大学（UW）和其他四年制大学的学士学位课程。 B3计划将重点介绍如何使用生物工程和生物技术来解决全球健康问题。 B3计划将为学生提供学术机会和指导的研究经验，并将包括讲习班和研讨会，以提供学生进行科学演讲。该计划将为学生提供成功从其社区大学过渡到四年制大学所必需的背景和经验。通过这项努力，合作机构将为UW和其他大学的各个部门提供感兴趣的生物医学研究的杰出学生。
