项目摘要

ABSTRACT For the last three decades, biomedical research has been expanding rapidly and has made a great impact in producing high quality skilled professionals in the U.S. However, minorities and the underprivileged continue to be underrepresented (UR) in this work force. While the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and other reports show that US students are greatly improving their academic preparedness compared to students from most other nations, our country's minorities and underprivileged students remain relatively poorly prepared to enter high technology careers such as biomedical and behavioral sciences. As a result, minorities, who constitute about 29% of the total population, represent only about 7% of Ph.D. degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences and hold only about 4% of the R01 biomedical and behavioral research grants. Many UR students are deprived of the opportunity to experience early engagement in science and math. Therefore, because they lack the skills and exposure to move directly into 4-year baccalaureate programs, they enter into 2-year programs at the community and technical colleges. The UofL Bridges to Baccalaureate (ULBB) program will involve the University of Louisville (UofL) and Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) joining forces to develop a sustainable program that will introduce underrepresented and disadvantaged community college students to the career opportunities available in biomedical and behavioral research and prepare them for successful transition from a 2-year program at JCTC to a 4-year STEM related baccalaureate program at UofL. The ULBB program will focus on: 1) strengthening the partnership between JCTC and UofL to increase the recruitment of underrepresented minority and economically disadvantaged high school students into a pathway to biomedical research careers, increasing the graduation rate in Associate in Science (AS) from 12% in 3 years to 50% in 2 years, 2) providing a pipeline of support and mentoring personnel and programs, including academic enrichments, career development training and research experience during each 10-week summer program (two summers) at UofL under the mentorship of internationally renowned faculty that will enhance transfer rate from a current 30% to 70% of ULBB-supported students, and 3) continued mentoring and counseling of students transferred from JCTC to UofL in a small group setting, promoting their involvement in existing undergraduate education programs to improve the present graduation rate of 33% to 70% of our transferred ULBB students, leading to increased recruitment to biomedical research graduate education and careers. The ULBB program is innovative and will not only impact the underrepresented and underprivileged students themselves but also the broader curricular, advising, and research programs of both partner institutions and the pool of diverse, well-qualified scientists entering biomedical research careers.

抽象的在过去的三十年中，生物医学研究一直在迅速扩展，并对但是，在美国生产高质量的熟练专业人员，但是少数民族和弱势群体继续在这支劳动力中的代表性不足（UR）。而国际数学和科学的趋势研究（TIMSS）和其他报告表明，美国学生正在大大改善他们的学术准备与大多数其他国家的学生相比，我国的少数民族和贫困学生仍然存在相对较差的准备进入高科技职业，例如生物医学和行为科学。作为结果，占总人口约29％的少数民族仅占博士学位的7％。生物医学和行为科学的学位，仅占R01生物医学的4％和行为研究补助金。许多我们的学生被剥夺了早期体验的机会参与科学和数学。因此，因为他们缺乏直接进入的技能和接触他们为期4年的学士学位课程，在社区和技术学院颁布了2年的课程。学科（ULBB）计划的UOFL桥将涉及路易斯维尔大学（UOFL）和杰斐逊社区和技术学院（JCTC）联合起来开发一个可持续计划，将将代表性不足和处于弱势社区大学生介绍给职业机会在生物医学和行为研究中可用，并准备从2年成功过渡 JCTC的计划在UOFL的4年与STEM相关的学士学位课程。 ULBB计划将重点在：1）加强JCTC和UOFL之间的伙伴关系以增加招募代表性不足的少数民族和经济不利的高中生进入通往的途径生物医学研究职业，将科学助理的毕业率从3中提高了12％在2年内的年限至50％，2）提供支持和指导人员和计划的管道，包括每个10周的夏季，学术丰富，职业发展培训和研究经验在国际知名教师的指导下，UOFL的计划（两个夏季）将增强从目前的30％到70％的ULBB支持学生的转移率，3）继续指导和在小组环境中从JCTC转移到UOFL的学生的咨询，促进他们参与现有的本科教育计划，以提高目前的毕业率33％至我们的70％转移ULBB学生，导致生物医学研究研究生教育的招聘和职业。 ULBB计划具有创新性，不仅会影响代表性不足和弱势群体学生本身，也是两个合作伙伴的更广泛的课程，建议和研究计划机构和多样化，合格的科学家进入生物医学研究职业。
