DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project, "Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program from Baton Rouge Community College to Louisiana State University," namely LSU-BRCC/BB, represents a strategic approach to increase student retention via bridges providing student access to training at the community college and university levels in Louisiana. Within this proposed project, Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC) will partner with the Louisiana State University (LSU) College of Science and Office of Strategic Initiatives (OSI) to train and mentor students in the biomedical & behavioral sciences-related disciplines (or in-short, biological-related sciences that include biology, chemistry, physics, math, computer science, engineering, psychology). The vision of this project is to create a successful model for broadening the participation of underrepresented students. The overall goals of this LSU-BRCC/BB project are to increase the numbers of underrepresented students, who complete an Associate Science (AS) in General Science degree at BRCC, transfer into LSU Bachelor Science (BS) in biological-related sciences program and successfully complete the BS degree. During the five-year period of the project (07/01/12 - 06/30/17), BRCC students will be recruited from various biological and biomedical disciplines. Two types of activities will be developed for this project. Type-1, open to all STEM students at BRCC, consists of four components: (1) Recruitment of High School STEM Students to BRCC; (2) Development of a Peer Tutoring Program in STEM Gateway Courses at BRCC; (3) Professional Development for BRCC STEM Faculty Members; and (4) Articulation of STEM Courses between BRCC and LSU, (iv) BRCC Program Entry Summer Boot Camp;. Type-2, only for selected biological-related sciences students (namely Bridge Students or Bridge Scholars), consists of five components: (1) (1) Individual Mentoring Program for BRCC Students at LSU; (2) Summer Research Program for BRCC Students at LSU; (3) Individual Mentoring Program for BRCC Transferred Students at LSU; and (4) Follow-up Support Programs for BRCC Transferred Students at LSU. By building a solid foundation in science and mentoring, our further goal is to motivate BRCC/LSU Scholars alumni to pursue advanced degrees. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Increasing minority student access to education programs is of the utmost importance to American's national public health agenda because of the role that diversity plays in quality education programs, biomedical research including clinical trials, and physician-patient satisfaction. Recognizing that only 20% of minorities who enter science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines actually completed a STEM degree, the proposed LSR-BRCC/BB project will focus on increasing access to STEM higher education for minority students and addressing the national need for well-trained minority scientists who have the ability to contribute to the biomedical research and the national public health agenda. The vision of this project is to create a successful model for transferring Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC) AS Degree students from underrepresented groups to Louisiana State University (LSU) and support their completion of BS degrees in the biomedical/behavior science disciplines; a transformative model that can be adopted by other partnering institutions nationwide.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个项目，“桥梁学士学位课程从巴吞鲁日社区学院到路易斯安那州州立大学，”即LSU-BRCC/BB，代表了一种战略方法，以增加学生保留通过桥梁提供学生获得培训在社区学院和大学水平在路易斯安那州。在这个拟议的项目中，巴吞鲁日社区学院（BRCC）将与路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）科学学院和战略倡议办公室（OSI）合作，培训和指导生物医学和行为科学相关学科（或简而言之，生物相关科学，包括生物学，化学，物理学，数学，计算机科学，工程学，心理学）的学生。该项目的愿景是创造一个成功的模式，扩大代表性不足的学生的参与。这个LSU-BRCC/BB项目的总体目标是增加代表性不足的学生人数，他们在BRCC完成普通科学学位的副科学（AS），转入LSU生物相关科学课程的学士学位（BS）并成功完成BS学位。在该项目的五年期间（07/01/12 - 06/30/17），BRCC学生将从各种生物和生物医学学科招募。将为该项目开展两类活动。类型1，开放给所有的STEM学生在BRCC，包括四个组成部分：（1）高中STEM学生BRCC招募;（2）在BRCC STEM网关课程同伴辅导计划的发展;（3）BRCC STEM教师的专业发展;和（4）BRCC和路易斯安那州立大学之间的STEM课程衔接，（iv）BRCC程序进入夏季靴子营;。第二类，只适用于选定的生物相关科学的学生（即桥梁学生或桥梁学者），由五个组成部分：（1）（1）在路易斯安那州立大学的BRCC学生个人辅导计划;（2）在路易斯安那州立大学的BRCC学生暑期研究计划;（3）在路易斯安那州立大学的BRCC转学生个人辅导计划;和（4）在路易斯安那州立大学的BRCC转学生后续支持计划。通过建立科学和指导的坚实基础，我们的进一步目标是激励BRCC/LSU学者校友追求高级学位。 公共卫生关系：增加少数民族学生接受教育的机会对美国的国家公共卫生议程至关重要，因为多样性在优质教育计划，包括临床试验在内的生物医学研究和医患满意度中发挥着重要作用。认识到进入科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的少数民族中只有20%实际上完成了STEM学位，拟议的LSR-BRCC/BB项目将侧重于增加少数民族学生接受STEM高等教育的机会，并解决国家对训练有素的少数民族科学家的需求，他们有能力为生物医学研究和国家公共卫生议程做出贡献。该项目的愿景是创建一个成功的模式，将巴吞鲁日社区学院（BRCC）AS学位的学生从代表性不足的群体转移到路易斯安那州州立大学（LSU），并支持他们完成生物医学/行为科学学科的学士学位;一个可以被全国其他合作机构采用的变革模式。
