DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, Berkeley, in partnership with Chabot College and Merritt College, seeks to increase substantially the number of community college students from the targeted populations who transfer into and successfully complete biomedical and behavioral science degree programs at four-year institutions. The three-tiered strategy seeks to 1) strengthen the transfer culture at the colleges and increase awareness of biomedical and behavioral science career opportunities; 2) nurture a cohort of students who aspire to transfer into these fields; and 3) identify fifteen outstanding students each year to participate in a rigorous program of study and faculty-mentored research at Berkeley. A team of distinguished scientists, experienced transfer preparation professionals, outstanding graduate researchers, and talented undergraduates will design and implement curriculum, support strategies, and structured research experiences for the Bridges students. The goal is to increase by 100% the overall number of students from the targeted population who transfer from the partner institutions into the specified majors; to increase the transfer rate of Bridges students to 75% and to increase the graduation rate of Bridges students who transfer to 75%. Ultimately, the aim is to significantly increase the pool of well-trained minority biomedical and behavioral scientists. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Bay Area has not only been at the forefront of the biotechnology revolution, but is one of the most diverse areas in the country. Still many groups of people that have large communities in the region have not had a sufficient opportunity to help benefit from - and create - this dynamic growth. The Berkeley Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program will expand dramatically a pipeline of underrepresented students to academia and industry, where they can become leaders in the fields that will shape the first half of the 21st century.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学伯克利分校与查伯特学院和梅里特学院合作，寻求大幅增加目标人群中转入并成功完成四年制院校生物医学和行为科学学位课程的社区学院学生的数量。三层战略旨在：1）加强大学的转学文化，提高对生物医学和行为科学职业机会的认识； 2）培养一批有志于转入这些领域的学生； 3) 每年选出 15 名优秀学生参加伯克利分校严格的学习计划和教师指导的研究。由杰出科学家、经验丰富的转学准备专业人士、优秀研究生研究人员和才华横溢的本科生组成的团队将为桥梁学生设计和实施课程、支持策略和结构化研究经验。目标是使目标人群从合作院校转入指定专业的学生总数增加100%；将 Bridges 学生的转学率提高到 75%，并将 Bridges 学生转学的毕业率提高到 75%。最终的目标是显着增加训练有素的少数族裔生物医学和行为科学家的数量。 公共卫生相关性：湾区不仅处于生物技术革命的前沿，而且是美国最多元化的地区之一。该地区拥有大型社区的许多群体仍然没有足够的机会帮助受益并创造这种动态增长。伯克利通往学士学位课程将极大地扩大代表性不足的学生进入学术界和工业界的渠道，使他们能够成为塑造 21 世纪上半叶的领域的领导者。
