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.

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学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大学学生的数量。这一三级战略旨在1)加强大学的转学文化，提高人们对生物医学和行为科学职业机会的认识；2)培养一批渴望转学到这些领域的学生；3)每年挑选15名优秀学生参加伯克利大学严格的学习和教师指导研究计划。由杰出的科学家、经验丰富的转学准备专业人员、杰出的研究生研究人员和有才华的本科生组成的团队将为布里奇斯的学生设计和实施课程、支持策略和结构化的研究经验。目标是将目标人群中从伙伴机构转到指定专业的学生总数增加100%；将Bridges学生的转校率提高到75%，将Bridges学生的毕业率提高到75%。最终，目标是显著增加训练有素的少数民族生物医学和行为科学家的队伍。
