DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a competing continuation application for an existing Bridges to the Baccalaureate Degree (BS) Program (PAR-07-411) at New Mexico State University (NMSU), Las Cruces. The program proposes to serve American Indian (AI) students at three community colleges. These institutions enroll 5,414 AI students from the Din¿ (Navajo) Nation, the Jicarilla Apache Nation, and eight Pueblos in New Mexico. They include: One true tribal community college, Din¿ College at Shiprock, NM, one state-supported community college, University of New Mexico Gallup Branch at Gallup, NM; and one true locally-controlled community college, San Juan College at Farmington, NM. Funding for 5 years is requested for programmatic activities that attract, enrich, enhance preparedness, and advance AI students into baccalaureate degree programs aligned with the biomedical sciences. The annual goals of this application are: (i) An academic-year seminar/lecture/workshop series will be organized at the community colleges with 30 faculty presenters from NMSU. This will introduce >120 AI science majors to research career opportunities in biomedicine and biomedical-related research in progress at NMSU. (ii) From the student pool in goal (i), 30-35 AI students will visit the NMSU campus each spring for a two-day orientation program to prepare for forthcoming summer research experiences. (iii) From the student pool of goal (ii), 17 AI students will conduct fulltime research with a faculty mentor and participate in many structured enrichment workshops during nine summer weeks at the campus of NMSU. Workshops will include: enhancement of computer skills for conducting research; discussions of ethical conduct of research; comprehensive laboratory safety training; development of scientific writing and presentation skills; academic transfer advisement; and, financial planning for completion of the B.S. degree; (iv) Faculty seminar presenters will serve as summer research mentors and as academic advisors after students transfer to a BS program at NMSU. (v) This application proposes to transfer 70% of its summer research participants to BS institutions and to graduate 75% of the transferees with a BS degree. (vi) Opportunities are proposed for science instructors from the community colleges to conduct research during the summer months. This Bridge Program has advanced 70.4% (157 of 223 total) of its summer research participants into baccalaureate degree programs since 1992. Also, 67.4% of these transferred AI students have completed BS degrees within 10 semesters of transferring to a baccalaureate institution.

描述（由应用程序提供）：该提案是新墨西哥州立大学（NMSU）的现有桥梁（BS）计划（BS）计划（BS）计划（PAR-07-411）的竞争延续申请。该计划的建议为三所社区学院的美洲印第安人（AI）学生提供服务。这些机构在新墨西哥州的DINâ（Navajo）Nation，Jicarilla Apache Nation和八个Pueblos招募了5,414名AI学生。其中包括：一所真正的部落社区学院，新墨西哥州船洛克市的丁大学，新墨西哥州盖洛普的新墨西哥大学盖洛普分支机构一所国家支持的社区学院；以及新墨西哥州法明顿圣胡安学院的一所真正的当地社区学院。要求提供5年的资金，以吸引，丰富，增强准备并使AI学生进入与生物医学科学一致的学士学位课程。该应用程序的年度目标是：（i）将在社区学院举办一个学年的半讲座/讲习班系列，由NMSU的30位教师演讲者组织。这将介绍> 120个AI科学专业的专业，以研究NMSU正在进行的生物医学和生物医学相关研究的职业机会。 （ii）从目标（i）中的学生池中，30-35名AI学生将每年春季访问NMSU校园，以进行为期两天的迎新计划，为即将到来的夏季研究经验做准备。 （iii）从学生群（II）的学生群中，17名AI学生将在NMSU校园内的9个夏季周期间，通过教师的心理和参加许多结构化的丰富研讨会进行全职研究。研讨会将包括：提高进行研究的计算机技能；讨论研究的道德行为；全面的实验室安全培训；发展科学写作和演讲技巧；学术转学建议；以及完成B.S.的财务计划程度; （iv）教师开创性的演讲者将担任夏季研究导师，并在学生转学到NMSU的BS计划后担任学术顾问。 （v）该申请提案将其70％的夏季研究参与者转移到BS机构，并以BS学位毕业75％的转会。 （vi）向社区大学的科学讲师提出了机会，以在夏季进行研究。自1992年以来，该桥梁计划已将其夏季研究参与者的70.4％（总计157个）提高到了学士学位课程中。此外，这些转移的AI学生中有67.4％已在转移到学士学位的10个学期内完成了BS学位。
