The collaboration between California State University Los Angeles (Cal State LA) Los Angeles City College, East Los Angeles College, and Pasadena City College has been very successful in developing the careers of talented community college minority students. In the period since last review, 86% of the participating students that completed the program have transferred to four-year institutions, a rate that is four to eight times better than the transfer rates of students from these community colleges. We propose continuation of this effort that is making a significant impact on the entry of minority group members into biomedical research careers. We anticipate that 80% of the participating community college students will transfer to four-year universities in science majors. This is an ambitious goal as the transfer rate from these community colleges to four-year institutions is only 9-20% overall. The program we propose for continuation is deliberately designed to: 1) develop student skills in mathematics, basic sciences, and the English language as a foundation to high academic achievement in undergraduate majors in the natural sciences; 2) that students are motivated to careers the biomedical sciences through participation in solid research experiences and interaction with science faculty and other biomedical scientists, and; 3) that students are prepared for the transition from community college students to upper-division undergraduates at universities. Furthermore, we expect that at least 70% of those who transfer to Cal State LA and get further career development through participation in its MBRS-RISE or MARC U*STAR programs will continue to Ph.D. programs on graduation. The proposed program will involve many community college students beyond the 18 per year named as Bridges Scholars through many program activities such as special workshops, supplemental instruction to support success in science courses, and in seminars to motivate students about careers in biomedical research and broaden perspectives about career opportunities in the biomedical sciences. The overarching purpose of this Bridges to the Future effort is to increase the pool of well-prepared community college minority students who pursue biomedically-related majors, and significantly increase their rate of transfer to four-year institutions. This is the first step in a process that will prepare students for success in BS programs, and subsequently to pursue the PhD in the biomedical science. The relevance of the proposed project to the mission of the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences and its Minority Opportunities in Research Division is that the Biomedical Bridges to the Future program will significantly increase the participation in biomedical research careers by underrepresented minority group members who begin higher education at community colleges. The proposed project will develop considerable minority talent, broadening the diversity of intellectual perspectives available to participate in solving the nation's biomedical research problems.

加州州立大学洛杉矶分校 (Cal State LA) 与洛杉矶市的合作 学院、东洛杉矶学院和帕萨迪纳城市学院在开发 有才华的社区大学少数族裔学生的职业生涯。自上次审查以来，86% 完成该课程的参与学生已转入四年制院校，比例为四到 比这些社区大学的学生转学率高八倍。我们建议继续 这项努力对少数群体成员进入生物医学领域产生了重大影响 研究职业。 我们预计 80% 参与的社区学院学生将转学到四年制大学 在科学专业。这是一个雄心勃勃的目标，因为从这些社区大学到四年制大学的转学率 机构总体只占9-20%。我们建议继续实施的计划旨在：1) 培养学生的数学、基础科学和英语技能，为高中学业奠定基础 自然科学本科专业的学术成就； 2）学生有动机 通过参与扎实的研究经验和与人的互动来从事生物医学科学的职业 科学教师和其他生物医学科学家，以及； 3）学生为从 社区学院学生到大学高年级本科生。此外，我们预计在 至少 70% 的人转学到加州州立大学洛杉矶分校并通过参与其项目获得进一步的职业发展 MBRS-RISE 或 MARC U*STAR 项目将继续攻读博士学位。毕业时的计划。 拟议的计划将涉及每年 18 名以上的许多社区学院学生 通过许多项目活动为学者架起桥梁，例如特别研讨会、补充指导 支持科学课程和研讨会的成功，以激励学生从事生物医学职业 研究并拓宽生物医学领域职业机会的视角。首要的 “通往未来的桥梁”活动的目的是增加准备充分的社区大学少数群体的数量 攻读生物医学相关专业的学生，​​并显着提高四年制转学率 机构。这是为学生在理学士学位课程中取得成功做好准备的第一步，并且 随后攻读生物医学博士学位。拟议项目与美国国立普通医学研究院使命的相关性 及其研究部门的少数机会是，生物医学桥梁未来计划将 显着增加代表性不足的少数群体对生物医学研究职业的参与 在社区学院开始接受高等教育的成员。拟议的项目将发展相当大的 少数族裔人才，拓宽可参与解决问题的知识观点的多样性 国家生物医学研究问题。
