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（由申请人提供）：旧金山城市学院（CCSF）、天际线学院和旧金山州立大学（SFSU）提议继续他们成功的14年学士学位桥梁课程。我们的多部分课程旨在增加少数族裔（URM） CCSF和Skyline学生获得生物医学学士学位的人数，并为这些学生提供攻读生物医学科学高级学位的学术准备、技能和信心。我们项目的主要目标是：促进URM学生在科学课程上的卓越表现和转学进程，使关键的转学过程顺利进行，促进合作伙伴关系中科学教师的最佳教学实践，确保所教授的课程为学生转学后的高年级学习做好准备，并为我们的校园带来成功的榜样，帮助强化这样的信息：成为一名科学家是一个可以实现的目标，也是一个有吸引力的职业选择。我们的程序有两组活动。七项：1)学术成功研讨会，2)咨询，学术咨询和指导，3)同伴辅导，4)定向研究，5)独立研究实习，6)博士预科研讨会，7)在全国学生研究会议上口头或海报展示。八项活动旨在影响所有在CCSF和Skyline的URM理科学生：（1)数学和科学课程的高级辅导，(2)门户数学和科学课程的补充指导，3）CCSF/Skyline/SFSU科学系的年度联合教师务静会，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)为在SFSU攻读数学/科学专业的学生提供转学后咨询，7)少数民族科学家系列研讨会和8)CCSF/Skyline教师专业发展。内部和外部评估将对所有项目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名学员转学至四年制学校。123名学生获得了学士学位，其中53名学生至少攻读了一个高级学位，包括14名博士生、23名硕士生和14名医科学生。13名药学/牙科/骨科学生。目前，已获得药学、牙科、骨科等专业博士学位3人、硕士学位13人、医学博士学位8人、医学博士学位10人。
