PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT A diverse biomedical workforce is essential to ensure representation, creativity, and innovation in the field of biomedical research and higher education. While minoritized students begin college as STEM majors at the same rates as their well represented counterparts, they are less likely to graduate with a STEM degree. The attrition of students from STEM majors is acutely seen in students who begin college at two-year institutions, warranting increased support for transfer students. This training grant supports students as they transfer from Baltimore City Community College (BCCC) and the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) to Towson University and complete their bachelor’s degree in the biomedical sciences. This new training grant proposal builds on the past success of our twenty years long R25 B2B and implements new strategies to empower and support trainees as we transition to a T34 mechanism. Our program is designed to meet the following objectives: 1) Provide a dynamic and supportive training environment that promotes self-efficacy and science identity. We aim for >85% of trainees to transfer to TU and for >90% of trainees who transfer to TU to graduate within three years of transfer; 2) Cultivate a supportive and inclusive community that is integrated with active STEM training programs at BCCC, CCBC and TU to provide professional development. All B2B trainees will participate in professional development activities that expose trainees to biomedical career options and promote career development skills; 3) Provide B2B trainees with the information and tools required to successfully matriculate into post-graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. While the primary goal of the B2B program is to support the transfer of and completion of bachelor’s degrees in biomedical fields, all B2B trainees will receive mentoring that informs them of post-graduate opportunities in the biomedical field and facilitates development of application materials for post-graduate study. We aim for at least 50% of trainees to apply to post-graduate programs in the biomedical field within two years of completion of their bachelor’s degree; and 4) Evaluate the effectiveness of B2B training components through annual program evaluation and improved tracking of B2B alumni. We aim for tracking of >90% of B2B trainees for at least fifteen years following admission into the B2B program.

项目总结/摘要 多样化的生物医学劳动力对于确保生物医学领域的代表性、创造性和创新至关重要。 生物医学研究和高等教育。虽然少数民族学生开始大学作为STEM专业在 与有代表性的同行一样，他们不太可能以STEM学位毕业。的 STEM专业的学生流失在两年制院校开始上大学的学生中尤为明显， 增加对转学生的支持。这项培训补助金支持学生从 巴尔的摩城市社区学院（BCCC）和巴尔的摩县社区学院（CCBC）到陶森 完成生物医学科学学士学位。这个新的培训补助金提案 基于我们过去二十年的R25 B2B成功，并实施新的战略， 在我们过渡到T34机制时支持受训人员。我们的计划旨在满足以下目标： 1)提供一个充满活力和支持性的培训环境，促进自我效能和科学身份。我们 目标是>85%的学员转入TU，>90%的学员转入TU，在 三年的转移; 2）培养一个与活跃的STEM相结合的支持性和包容性社区 在BCCC，CCBC和TU的培训计划，提供专业发展。所有B2B学员将 参加专业发展活动，使受训者接触生物医学职业选择， 促进职业发展技能; 3）为B2B学员提供所需的信息和工具， 成功进入生物医学科学的研究生课程。虽然主要目标是 B2B计划是为了支持生物医学领域学士学位的转移和完成，所有B2B 学员将接受指导，告知他们生物医学领域的研究生机会， 协助编制研究生课程的申请材料。我们的目标是至少有50%的学员 申请生物医学领域的研究生课程在两年内完成他们的 学士学位;和4）通过年度计划评估B2B培训组件的有效性 评估和改进B2B校友的跟踪。我们的目标是跟踪超过90%的B2B学员， 进入B2B计划后的15年。
