DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The collaboration between California State University Los Angeles (Cal State LA), Los Angeles City College, East Los Angeles College, and Pasadena City College has been very successful in developing the careers of talented community college minority students. In the period since last review, 86% of the participating students that completed the program have transferred to four-year institutions, a rate that is four to eight times better than the transfer rates of students from these community colleges. We propose continuation of this effort that is making a significant impact on the entry of minority group members into biomedical research careers. We anticipate that 80% of the participating community college students will transfer to four-year universities in science majors. This is an ambitious goal as the transfer rate from these community colleges to four-year institutions is only 9-20% overall. The program we propose for continuation is deliberately designed to: 1) develop student skills in mathematics, basic sciences, and the English language as a foundation to high academic achievement in undergraduate majors in the natural sciences; 2) that students are motivated to careers the biomedical sciences through participation in solid research experiences and interaction with science faculty and other biomedical scientists, and; 3) that students are prepared for the transition from community college students to upper-division undergraduates at universities. Furthermore, we expect that at least 70% of those who transfer to Cal State LA and get further career development through participation in its MBRS-RISE or MARC U*STAR programs will continue to Ph.D. programs on graduation. The proposed program will involve many community college students beyond the 18 per year named as Bridges Scholars through many program activities such as special workshops, supplemental instruction to support success in science courses, and in seminars to motivate students about careers in biomedical research and broaden perspectives about career opportunities in the biomedical sciences. The overarching purpose of this Bridges to the Future effort is to increase the pool of well-prepared community college minority students who pursue biomedically-related majors, and significantly increase their rate of transfer to four-year institutions. This is the first step in a process that will prepare students for success in BS programs, and subsequently to pursue the PhD in the biomedical science. The relevance of the proposed project to the mission of the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences and its Minority Opportunities in Research Division is that the Biomedical Bridges to the Future program will significantly increase the participation in biomedical research careers by underrepresented minority group members who begin higher education at community colleges. The proposed project will develop considerable minority talent, broadening the diversity of intellectual perspectives available to participate in solving the nation's biomedical research problems.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州州立大学洛杉矶（加州大学洛杉矶分校），安赫勒斯城学院，东洛杉矶学院和帕萨迪纳城市学院之间的合作在发展有才华的社区学院少数民族学生的职业生涯方面非常成功。自上次审查以来，86%完成该计划的参与学生已转入四年制院校，这一比率是这些社区学院学生转学率的四到八倍。我们建议继续这一努力，这对少数群体成员进入生物医学研究事业产生了重大影响。我们预计，80%的参与社区学院的学生将转移到科学专业的四年制大学。这是一个雄心勃勃的目标，因为从这些社区学院到四年制大学的转学率总体上只有9-20%。我们建议继续的计划是故意设计的：1）发展学生在数学，基础科学和英语语言的技能，作为自然科学本科专业高学术成就的基础; 2）学生有动力通过参与扎实的研究经验和与科学教师和其他生物医学科学家的互动来从事生物医学科学，以及; 3）学生为从社区学院学生到大学高年级本科生的过渡做好准备。此外，我们预计，至少有70%的人谁转移到加州州立大学洛杉矶分校，并通过参与其MBRS-RISE或MARC U* 星星计划获得进一步的职业发展将继续博士学位。毕业时的节目。拟议的计划将涉及许多每年18岁以上的社区大学学生，称为桥梁学者，通过许多计划活动，例如特别研讨会、支持科学课程成功的补充教学以及研讨会，激励学生从事生物医学研究并拓宽他们的职业前景生物医学科学领域的职业机会。这座通往未来的桥梁的总体目的是增加那些追求生物医学相关专业的准备充分的社区大学少数民族学生的人数，并显着提高他们转入四年制大学的比率。这是一个过程中的第一步，将为学生在BS程序的成功做好准备，并随后追求在生物医学科学博士学位。拟议项目与国立普通医学科学研究所及其研究部门少数民族机会的使命的相关性在于，生物医学通向未来的桥梁计划将大大增加在社区学院开始高等教育的代表性不足的少数群体成员对生物医学研究事业的参与。拟议的项目将培养相当多的少数民族人才，扩大知识观点的多样性，以参与解决国家的生物医学研究问题。
