DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Purchase College, State University of New York is partnering with Dutchess Community College, Rockland Community College and Sullivan County Community College to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups (primarily African Americans and Hispanics, with a few American Indians and Pacific Islanders) who successfully complete baccalaureate degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences. This new Partnership for Excellence Bridges Program builds upon the success of the current program that has achieved 96% transfer rate and 71% bachelor degree completion in biomedical and behavioral sciences. This new Partnership program has significant changes that focus attention and resources on the two-year partner schools to improve competitiveness of their science graduates. It will replicate at the two-year institutions an integrated system of developmental activities (skills assessment, academic advising, early warning system, freshman seminars, and tutoring) that has successfully enhanced student engagement at Purchase. (Each two- year partner has committed to begin partial funding of these activities in years 4 and 5 and to take over full funding at the end of the grant period.) The program will also provide skills-building activities that will increase the capacity of students to advance to increasingly rigorous content in the sciences (five- week residential Summer Research Program, Research Methods Workshop, and web-based training in responsible conduct of research). Two program components will enhance the level of continuity for students: faculty collaboration will create integrated syllabi for all introductory science courses at the four partner institutions and Joint Admissions. In order to ensure leadership support for the integrated system of developmental activities at each two-year institution, this Partnership will implement an innovative series of meetings with Presidents and Chief Academic Officers of all partner institutions to build an infrastructure of communication between academic leadership and faculty around issues of student outcomes and program challenges. This will ensure support for the program and sustainability beyond the grant period. The external evaluator will conduct both formative and summative evaluation activities that are designed to inform programmatic decisions about "what's working" and provide evidence about the impact of program initiatives on participants' skills and abilities. The Partnership will increase by 50% the overall transfer rate of Dutchess from 20.3% to 30.5%, Rockland from 11.5% to 17.3%, and Sullivan from 18.9% to 28.4%. It will ensure that 96% of the Bridges Scholars will transfer to baccalaureate degree programs in biomedical or behavioral sciences. It will ensure that 80% of those Bridges Scholars who transferred to a four-year institution successfully complete their baccalaureate degrees in biomedical or behavioral sciences. Public Health Relevance: The Partnership for Excellence Bridges Program will increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who successfully complete baccalaureate degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences. Developmental activities will enhance engagement of students in biomedical and behavioral sciences during their first year of study, provide skills building research, "smooth out" the transition from the two-year to the four-year institution, and ensure completion of baccalaureate degrees in biomedical fields.

描述（由申请人提供）：购买学院，纽约的州立大学是与达奇斯社区学院，罗克兰社区学院和沙利文县社区学院合作，以增加学生人数从代表性不足的群体（主要是非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔，与少数美洲印第安人和太平洋岛民）谁成功完成生物医学和行为科学学士学位。这个新的卓越桥梁计划的合作伙伴关系建立在目前的计划，已实现96%的转移率和71%的生物医学和行为科学学士学位完成的成功。这项新的合作计划有重大变化，将注意力和资源集中在两年制合作学校上，以提高其理科毕业生的竞争力。它将在两年制机构复制一个发展活动的综合系统（技能评估，学术咨询，预警系统，新生研讨会和辅导），成功地提高了学生的参与度。(Each两年期合作伙伴已承诺开始在第4年和第5年为这些活动提供部分资金，并在赠款期结束时接管全部资金。该计划还将提供技能建设活动，这将提高学生的能力，以推进科学中越来越严格的内容（为期五周的住宅夏季研究计划，研究方法研讨会和基于网络的培训负责任的研究行为）。两个计划组成部分将提高学生的连续性水平：教师合作将为四个合作机构和联合招生的所有入门科学课程创建综合教学大纲。为了确保在每个两年制机构的发展活动的综合系统的领导支持，这种伙伴关系将实施一系列创新的会议与所有合作机构的校长和首席学术官建立学术领导和教师之间的沟通基础设施围绕学生的成绩和计划的挑战。这将确保对该计划的支持和赠款期后的可持续性。外部评估员将开展形成性和总结性评估活动，旨在为有关“什么是有效的”的方案决策提供信息，并提供有关方案举措对参与者技能和能力影响的证据。该合作伙伴关系将使达奇斯的整体转让率从20.3%提高到30.5%，罗克兰从11.5%提高到17.3%，沙利文从18.9%提高到28.4%。它将确保96%的桥梁学者将转移到生物医学或行为科学的学士学位课程。它将确保80%的转学到四年制大学的桥梁学者成功完成生物医学或行为科学的学士学位。 公共卫生相关性：卓越桥梁合作伙伴计划将增加来自代表性不足群体的成功完成生物医学和行为科学学士学位的学生数量。发展活动将提高学生在第一年学习期间对生物医学和行为科学的参与，提供技能建设研究，“平滑”从两年制到四年制的过渡，并确保完成生物医学领域的学士学位。
