DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): City College of San Francisco (CCSF), Skyline College and San Francisco State University (SFSU) propose to continue their successful 14-year old Baccalaureate Bridge Program. Our multi-component program is designed to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) CCSF and Skyline students who earn a baccalaureate degree in biomedical and to provide these students with the academic preparation, skills and confidence to pursue an advanced degree in biomedical science. The primary objectives of our program are to: promote URM student excellence in science classes and progression toward transfer, to smooth the critical transfer process, to promote best-teaching practices by science faculty within the partnership, to ensure that the curriculum being taught is preparing students for upper-division study after transfer and to bring successful role models to our campuses, helping to reinforce the message that being a scientist is an attainable goal and an attractive career choice. Our program has two sets of activities. Seven for Bridges-funded students: 1) an Academic Success Workshop, 2) Advising, Academic Counseling, and Mentoring, 3) Peer Tutoring, 4) Directed Research, 5) an Independent Research Internship, 6) a Doctoral Prep Workshop and 7) an oral or poster presentation at a national student research conference. Eight activities are designed to impact all URM science students at CCSF and Skyline: (1) Advanced Tutoring in Math and Science Courses, (2) Supplemental Instruction in Gateway Math and Science classes, 3) Annual Joint CCSF/Skyline/SFSU Science Department Faculty Retreats, 4) new Research Skills modules and classes added to the curriculum, 5) dedicated pre- transfer counseling, 6) Counseling after transfer for students pursuing math/science majors at SFSU, 7) a Minority Scientist Seminar Series and 8) CCSF/Skyline Faculty Professional Development. Internal and external evaluation will provide feedback on the effectiveness of all program activities and guide modification. Since the inception of this program, 313 students have participated. 202 participants have transferred to a 4- year school. 123 students have received baccalaureate degrees and 53 of these students have sought at least one advanced degree, including 14 Ph.D. students, 23 Masters' students, and 14 medical students. and 13 pharmacy/ dental/osteopathy students. Thus far, 3 Ph.D.'s, 13 Masters', 8 M.D. degrees and 10 degrees in pharmacy, dentistry or osteopathy have been earned. Public Health Relevance: It is generally agreed that there is a national need for increasing the number of well- trained minority scientists in the fields of biomedical, clinical, behavioral and health services research. This is based on the belief that diversifying the scientific workforce will enable the nation to better improve human health and eliminate health disparities. This Bridges Program seeks to significantly raise the transfer and graduation rates of under-represented minority science students, thereby increasing the pool of biomedical science graduates as a first step toward diversifying the professionals investigating health disparities.

描述(由申请者提供)：旧金山城市学院(CCSF)、天际学院和旧金山州立大学(SFSU)提议继续他们成功的14年文凭桥梁项目。我们的多组成部分计划旨在增加获得生物医学学士学位的少数族裔代表不足(URM)CCSF和Skyline学生的数量，并为这些学生提供攻读生物医学高级学位的学术准备、技能和信心。我们计划的主要目标是：促进URM学生在科学课堂上的卓越表现和向转学的进步，使关键的转学过程顺利进行，促进合作伙伴内理科教师的最佳教学实践，确保所教授的课程为学生在转学后进入高年级学习做好准备，并将成功的榜样带到我们的校园，帮助强化这样的信息，即成为一名科学家是一个可实现的目标和一个有吸引力的职业选择。我们的计划有两套活动。为布里奇斯资助的学生举办的七个项目：1)学术成功研讨会，2)咨询，学术咨询和指导，3)同行辅导，4)指导研究，5)独立研究实习，6)博士预备研讨会，7)在全国学生研究会议上的口头或海报演示。八项活动旨在影响CCSF和Skyline的所有URM理科学生：(1)数学和科学课程的高级辅导，(2)Gateway数学和科学课程的补充指导，3)CCSF/Skyline/SFSU科学系的年度联合退学，4)在课程中增加新的研究技能模块和课程，5)专门的转学前咨询，6)在SFSU攻读数学/科学专业的学生转学后的咨询，7)少数群体科学家系列研讨会和8)CCSF/Skyline教师专业发展。内部和外部评估将就所有计划活动的有效性提供反馈，并指导修改。自该项目启动以来，已有313名学生参加。202名参与者已经转到了一所四年制学校。123名学生获得了学士学位，其中53名学生至少获得了一个高级学位，其中包括14名博士、23名硕士和14名医科学生。和13名药学/牙科/骨科专业的学生。到目前为止，已获得3名S博士、13名硕士学位、8名医学博士学位和10名药学、牙科或骨科学位。 与公共卫生的相关性：人们普遍认为，在生物医学、临床、行为和卫生服务研究领域，国家需要增加训练有素的少数民族科学家的数量。这是基于这样一种信念，即使科学劳动力多样化将使国家能够更好地改善人类健康，消除健康差距。这一桥梁计划寻求显著提高未被充分代表的少数族裔理科学生的转校率和毕业率，从而增加生物医学科学毕业生的人才库，作为使调查健康差距的专业人员多样化的第一步。
