DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request continuing support for a University of Miami (UM) and Miami Dade College (MDC) partnership which has been funded since 1993 by four successive Bridges to the Baccalaureate awards. An overarching goal of our partnership is to increase the number of underrepresented, underserved minority students entering Ph.D. programs in biomedical research. We have pursued that goal by focusing on student development, curriculum supplementation, and MDC faculty capacity building. In this proposal, we refine our activities for actively recruiting needy high-school students from Miami-Dade County; for providing supplementary courses and workshops to increase bridge scholars' academic competitiveness; and for encouraging interest in research through a collaborative-learning, inquiry-based laboratory course, provision of hourly wages for summer research with mentors at UM, extramural research experiences, support for student attendance and presentations at national meetings, and outreach to parents to raise appreciation of research careers for their children. But with this proposal we take on a new, NIH-mandated, second overarching goal of institutional enhancement: to increase the number of all MDC science students receiving their associate degrees and transferring to a four-year institution. We will accomplish this by motivating MDC students through a Bridge Ambassador Program in which bridge scholars are peer models, through offering UM research faculty career seminars at MDC, and though increasing the academic competitiveness of MDC students in their gateway General Chemistry course by implementing Peer-Led Team Learning on the MDC campuses. We will enhance the MDC curriculum in biology and chemistry and the capacity of MDC faculty to infuse a quantitative approach into that curriculum by providing support for MDC faculty to attend workshops and meetings on innovative teaching, by convening a summer workshop for MDC and UM faculty to exchange and coordinate curricula, and by establishing an MDC/UM Faculty Partnership Program. In that program, MDC and UM faculty will teach together in one another's classrooms and laboratories. The proposed Bridge Program between the University of Miami and Miami Dade College will contribute towards NIH's goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minorities with Ph.D.s in the biomedical sciences. Students at community colleges generally are an untapped pool of talent that could make a real difference if provided with career paths to biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求继续支持迈阿密大学 (UM) 和迈阿密戴德学院 (MDC) 的合作关系，该合作关系自 1993 年以来一直由连续四届“通往学士学位之桥”奖项资助。我们合作伙伴关系的首要目标是增加进入博士学位的代表性不足、服务不足的少数族裔学生的数量。生物医学研究项目。我们通过关注学生发展、课程补充和 MDC 教师能力建设来实现这一目标。在这项提案中，我们完善了积极招募迈阿密戴德县贫困高中生的活动；提供补充课程和研讨会，以提高桥梁学者的学术竞争力；通过协作学习、基于探究的实验室课程、为与密歇根大学导师一起进行暑期研究提供小时工资、校外研究经验、支持学生出席全国会议和在全国会议上发表演讲以及向家长进行宣传以提高对孩子研究事业的赞赏等方式鼓励人们对研究的兴趣。但通过这项提案，我们实现了 NIH 规定的新的机构增强的第二个总体目标：增加获得副学士学位并转入四年制机构的所有 MDC 理科学生的数量。我们将通过桥梁大使计划激励 MDC 学生来实现这一目标，其中桥梁学者是同行模范，通过在 MDC 提供 UM 研究教师职业研讨会，并通过在 MDC 校园实施同行主导的团队学习来提高 MDC 学生在普通化学入门课程中的学术竞争力。我们将通过支持 MDC 教师参加创新教学研讨会和会议、为 MDC 和 UM 教师举办夏季研讨会以交流和协调课程，以及建立 MDC/UM 教师合作计划，增强 MDC 生物和化学课程以及 MDC 教师将定量方法融入该课程的能力。在该计划中，MDC 和 UM 的教师将在彼此的教室和实验室共同教学。迈阿密大学和迈阿密戴德学院之间拟议的桥梁计划将有助于实现 NIH 的目标，即增加拥有生物医学博士学位的少数族裔人数。社区学院的学生通常是一群尚未开发的人才，如果为他们提供生物医学研究的职业道路，他们可能会产生真正的影响。
