DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, Irvine (UCI) Minority Science Programs (MSP) is nationally recognized for developing innovative programs to improve the academic excellence and increase the number of underrepresented (UR) community college (CC), undergraduate and graduate students being trained as the next generation of biomedical research scientists. The objective of the Bridges to Baccalaureate is to strengthen partnerships with four local community colleges, Cerritos College, Fullerton College, Orange Coast College and Santa Ana College; to jointly develop academic programs to mentor, motivate and prepare UR students enrolled at partner CC to transfer to science majors at four-year universities and pursue biomedical research careers. Major components of the project are 1) integrated inter-institutional programs to identify potential candidates at CC for academic preparation and research training positions at UCI, 2) establish collaborations between faculty at CC and UCI to develop and deliver courses designed to enhance learning and critical thinking, 3) informational outreach to underrepresented CC students about careers in biomedical sciences, 4) academic preparation in challenging courses to be transferred to UCI and 5) advanced research training. Faculty workshops and focus groups will serve to improve inter-institutional articulation in science courses and preparation of students by discussing curricular sequence, normalization of curricula between institutions, use of technology in the classroom, instructional strategies that inculcate an interest in pursuit of advanced studies in the sciences and assessment. Over 30 UCI faculty with experience training underrepresented students will serve as research mentors. Bridges participants will experience the excitement of generating new knowledge in the course of conducting research. Research training components for Bridges participants include 1) a faculty seminar series, 2) a journal club to introduce scholars to criticl reading of current biomedical literature, 3) workshops on responsible conduct of research, laboratory safety, and principles, instrumentation and techniques used in biomedical research, 4) direct participation in original research conducted under the direction of UCI faculty mentors, 5) preparation of papers, oral presentations and posters, and 6) presentation of papers at local and national conferences. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The inclusion of underrepresented groups in the biomedical scientific workforce is critical to address the need of improving the health of the people of the United States and eliminating health disparities in the nation. This project will improve the academic excellence and increase the number of students from underrepresented groups being trained as the next generation of biomedical research scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：加利福尼亚大学尔湾分校（UCI）少数民族科学计划（MSP）因制定创新的计划以提高学术卓越和增加代表性不足的社区学院（CC），本科生和研究生培训的生物医学研究科学家的下一代培训。桥梁桥的目的是加强与四所当地社区学院，塞里托斯学院，富勒顿学院，奥兰治海岸学院和圣安娜学院的合作伙伴关系；共同制定学术课程，以指导，激励和准备伙伴CC的学生，将CC转移到四年制大学的科学专业并从事生物医学研究职业。 Major components of the project are 1) integrated inter-institutional programs to identify potential candidates at CC for academic preparation and research training positions at UCI, 2) establish collaborations between faculty at CC and UCI to develop and deliver courses designed to enhance learning and critical thinking, 3) informational outreach to underrepresented CC students about careers in biomedical sciences, 4) academic preparation in challenging courses to be transferred to UCI和5）高级研究培训。教师研讨会和焦点小组将通过讨论课程序列，机构之间的课程归一化，在课堂上使用技术的归一化，在课堂上的使用，教学策略，灌输对追求科学高级研究和评估的兴趣的兴趣，来改善科学课程的机构间表达和学生的准备。超过30多名UCI教职员工，经验培训不足的学生将担任研究导师。桥梁参与者将在进行研究过程中感到兴奋。桥梁参与者的研究培训组成部分包括1）教师研讨会系列，2）期刊俱乐部，向学者介绍当前生物医学文献的批评，3）关于负责任的研究，实验室安全以及实验室安全，仪器，仪器和技术的讲习班，用于生物医学研究的原理，4）在原始研究中参与概述，4）构图的培训或uci foreors of the UCI forors of UCI Netors of Uci netory netory netory netory netory netory netory，海报，以及6）在当地和民族会议上介绍文件。 公共卫生相关性：在生物医学科学劳动力中包含代表性不足的群体对于满足改善美国人民健康并消除美国健康差异的需求至关重要。该项目将提高学术卓越的成就，并增加因代表性不足的群体而被培训为下一代生物医学研究科学家的学生人数。
