DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project is a renewal of a "Bridges to the Baccalaureate" project, which unites California State University, Sacramento (Sacramento State) and three of its primary feeder community colleges (American River College, Cosumnes River College and Sacramento City College) in an inter- institutional partnership, named "The Sacramento College Coalition for Future Scientists". The long- range goal of the project is to contribute to meeting the national need to increase the number of well- trained minority scientists engaged in biomedical research that will improve the Nation's capability to prevent disease and reduce health disparities. Specifically, this project aims to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who transfer from the partnering community colleges to four-year universities to pursue majors related to the biomedical sciences, complete baccalaureate degrees in these fields and advance to graduate study and research careers in the biomedical sciences. The project aims to accomplish these goals by providing developmental activities, academic support and mentoring for promising underrepresented minority students enrolled at partner community colleges, providing participants early exposure to science research and careers in the biomedical sciences, and facilitating a seamless transition to relevant baccalaureate majors at California State University, Sacramento or other four-year universities. The method employed by the project focuses on engaging cohorts of 22-25 students in a well-defined set of common activities over a two-year period. Activities for first-year participants include weekly study halls, monthly enrichment workshops in the Fall, a 3 semester unit "Freshman Seminar" course in the Spring, and a 3-week "Introduction to Science Research" summer program at Sacramento State. Activities for second-year participants include a weekly workshop series in the Fall, a Spring "Journal Club", participation in scientific research conferences, and an 8-week summer research experience at Sacramento State. In addition, all students will receive academic advising by a Sacramento State faculty member and will be guaranteed admission to Sacramento State upon successful completion of lower division courses included in student academic plans. Congressional findings in the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research and Education Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-525) reported that "despite notable progress in the overall health of the Nation, there are continuing disparities in the burden of illness and death experienced by African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Asian Pacific Islanders, compared to the United States population as a whole", and that "demographic trends inspire concern about the Nation's ability to meet its future scientific, technological, and engineering workforce needs. This project will contribute to addressing these concerns by increasing the number of students from underrepresented minority groups who pursue careers as biomedical scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目是对“桥梁”项目的续签，该项目与加利福尼亚州立大学，萨克拉曼多州立大学（萨克拉曼多州立大学）及其三所主要的饲养员社区学院（美国河流学院，萨克拉曼多城市学院和萨克拉曼多城市学院）统一，以萨克拉曼多的核心科学家为名。该项目的长期目标是有助于满足国家的需求，以增加从事生物医学研究的训练有素的少数族裔科学家的数量，这将提高该国预防疾病和减少健康差异的能力。具体而言，该项目旨在增加从事伙伴社区学院到四年制大学的代表性不足的少数群体（URM）学生的数量，以追求与生物医学科学有关的专业，这些领域的学位是完整的学士学位，并促进了生物医学科学领域的研究生学习和研究生研究。 该项目旨在通过提供发展活动，学术支持和指导来实现这些目标，以招募成员社区学院的人数不足的少数族裔学生，从而为参与者提供了早期的生物医学科学研究和职业的接触，并促进了无缝的过渡到相关的Baccalaureate Majoors at Califortia State State State Saclemento或其他四年制四年制的大学。该项目采用的方法着重于将22-25名学生组成的人群参与两年内定义明确的共同活动。第一年参与者的活动包括每周学习厅，秋季的每月丰富研讨会，春季的3个学期“新生研讨会”课程以及萨克拉曼多州立大学夏季课程的3周“科学研究简介”。二年级参与者的活动包括秋季的每周研讨会系列，一个春季的“期刊俱乐部”，参加科学研究会议的活动以及在萨克拉曼多州立8周的夏季研究经验。此外，所有学生都将获得萨克拉曼多州立教职员工的学术建议，并在成功完成学生学术计划中包括的下级课程后，保证萨克拉曼多州立大学。 国会在2000年《少数族裔健康与健康差异研究与教育法案》（公法106-525）中的调查结果报告：“尽管在国家整体健康方面取得了显着进步，但非裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，美洲原住民，阿拉斯加国家和阿拉斯利亚州的人群和趋势的疾病和死亡负担仍然存在疾病和死亡负担，并激发了一个范围，并激发了美国的发展趋势，并激发了整个趋势，并激发了整个趋势。为了满足其未来的科学，技术和工程劳动力的需求，该项目将通过增加从事生物医学科学家职业的人数不足的少数群体的学生数量来解决这些问题。
