DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Applicant's Abstract): This proposal describes a Bridges Program between California State University at Long Beach (CSULB) and two (2) neighboring colleges: Cerritos Community College (CCC) and Long Beach City College (LBCC). The two (2) community colleges have a large pool of minority students interested in science. The aim of this proposal is to strengthen the linkage between the participating institutions in order to facilitate a smooth transition of students between the community colleges and the 4-year college. The plan involves: 1) providing research opportunities for Bridges students and faculty members from the community colleges; 2) providing personalized mentoring and counseling for Bridges participants; and 3) strengthening the curriculum at the community colleges by providing special workshops and seminars. Continued support of Bridges students upon transfer to CSULB will be provided through linkages to MBRS, MARC and Howard Hughes programs based at the 4-year college. Twelve (12) community college students, six (6) from each participating college will participate in an eight (8) week summer program at CSULB. As was the case in the previous proposal, they will work in paris in six (6) laboratories, each pair working in conjunction with a peer mentor who will be either an MBRS, MARC or Howard Hughes student. The proposed summer program is modified in certain ways based on the evaluation of the previous Bridges Program, including a longer orientation program to acquaint students with research methods and greater emphasis on career counseling. Another important program change is that the number of community college faculty participating in summer research is increased from 3-5, and the period when faculty members are engaged in research will be made more flexible in order to increase the amount of time that community college faculty will be engaged in research. Regular visits will continue to be made of CSULB administrator to faculty members to the two (2) community colleges during which they will continue to discuss aspects of transfer to CSULB, but for the first time will grant admission to students during this visit. A seminar series in Biology and Chemistry will be continued; however, funds are requested to pay for bus service to ensure that a greater number of students attend these seminars. Faculty enrichment workshops (using the NSF, Chatauqua approach) for faculty members at all three (3) institutions will be continued. Topics considered for presentation include molecular modeling by computer and computer interfacing with laboratory equipment. A tracking system will be used that is consistent with the E-STAR Program currently under development.

描述（根据申请人的摘要改编）：此提案 描述了加利福尼亚州立大学长期的桥梁计划 海滩（CSULB）和两（2）所邻近大学：塞里托斯社区学院 （CCC）和长滩城学院（LBCC）。 两（2）所社区大学 有大量对科学感兴趣的少数民族学生。 目的 该建议是加强参与之间的联系 为了促进学生之间的平稳过渡 社区大学和四年制大学。 该计划涉及：1） 为桥梁学生和教职员工提供研究机会 来自社区大学； 2）提供个性化的指导和 为桥梁参与者提供咨询； 3）加强课程 社区大学通过提供特殊的研讨会和研讨会。 转移到Csulb后，桥梁学生的持续支持将是 通过与MBR，MARC和HOWARD HUGHES计划的联系提供的 4年的大学。 每个参与的十二（12）个社区大学生，六（6）名 大学将参加CSULB的八（8）周夏季课程。 作为 在以前的提案中，他们将在巴黎工作六（6） 实验室，每对与同行导师一起工作 要么是MBRS，MARC或Howard Hughes的学生。 拟议的夏天 根据对先前的评估，以某些方式修改程序 桥梁计划，包括一个较长的方向计划，以熟悉学生 研究方法和更加重视职业咨询。 其他 重要的计划更改是社区大学教师的数量 参与夏季研究的增加是从3-5增加 教师从事研究将变得更加灵活 增加社区大学教师的时间 从事研究。 CSULB管理员将继续定期访问 两（2）所社区大学的成员将继续 讨论转移到CSULB的各个方面，但第一次将授予 在这次访问期间，学生入学。 生物学和化学的研讨会系列将继续；但是，资金 要求支付公交服务，以确保更多 学生参加这些研讨会。 教师的教师丰富研讨会（使用NSF，Chatauqua方法） 所有三（3）个机构的成员将继续。 考虑主题 用于演示包括计算机和计算机的分子建模 与实验室设备接口。 将使用与E-Star程序一致的跟踪系统 目前正在开发。
