Abstract/Summary California State University Los Angeles (Cal State LA), East Los Angeles College (ELAC), and Pasadena City College (PCC) propose to deepen their collaboration to establish a T34 Bridge to the Baccalaureate (B2B) Program. It is the mission of the B2B at Cal State LA to develop and make available to top biomedical PhD programs the creativity and intellectual talents of our most motivated URM, disabled, and disadvantaged undergraduates at ELAC and PCC; and to enrich the American biomedical research enterprise through their participation. B2B Trainees will begin their training at ELAC and PCC; seamlessly transfer to and be integrated into the Cal State LA Junior-Senior U-RISE Program to complete the baccalaureate; and excel as they earn the PhD; establish high profile independent research careers; and assume leadership positions in science. We have reverse-engineered a two-year training program from the characteristics of highly successful PhD students at major research universities, hypothesizing that growth into excellence as a PhD student has its roots in the freshman and sophomore experience. Talented freshmen motivated for careers in biomedical research will be supported and nurtured through lower-division majors at PCC and ELAC, coupled with concurrent year-round laboratory research training at Cal State LA, taking advantage of the strengths of each institution: the strong and supportive didactic environment at ELAC and PCC, and the strong undergraduate research tradition at Cal State LA. This powerful combination is designed to increase B2B Trainees’ research skills; enhancing their academic background and achievement; exposing them to a range of biomedical sciences and scientists at all career stages; and integrating them into the broader Southern California biomedical research community. Coupling B2B to U-RISE provides continuity of training effort and enhances Trainees’ post-BS entry into top PhD programs. Through the T34 mechanism we can support year-round multi- year participation in undergraduate research, replacing off-campus part-time work with research participation at Cal State LA. Distributing their time between academics at ELAC/PCC and research training at Cal State LA during the academic year is possible because of the proximity of the three campuses. The B2B at Cal State LA Program is composed of: 1) early and sustained participation in authentic year- round mentored laboratory research; 2) a solid undergraduate curriculum enhanced by supplemental instruction, and by attention to questioning; 3) workshops to enhance the curriculum; 4) improving the Trainees’ scientific writing; 5) participation in an Annual Biomedical Research Retreat; 6) developmental participation in seminars; 7) using support networks to enhance success; and 8) career advisement and career awareness. We have experience, capacity, and achievements in developing minority talent for success in PhD programs. In the past 15 years, 31 B2B alumni have earned the PhD and another 24 B2B alumni are currently PhD students. Through the T34 B2B enhanced training, our three institutions can do significantly better.

摘要/概要 加州州立大学洛杉矶（Cal State LA）、东洛杉矶学院（ELAC）和帕萨迪纳 城市学院（PCC）提议深化合作，建立通往学士学位（B2B）的T34桥梁 程序.这是B2B在加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的使命，以开发和提供给顶级生物医学博士 计划我们最积极的URM，残疾人和弱势群体的创造力和智力才能 ELAC和PCC的本科生;并通过他们的研究来丰富美国生物医学研究企业。 参与的B2B学员将开始在ELAC和PCC接受培训;无缝转移到并整合 进入加州州立大学洛杉矶分校青少年高级U-RISE计划完成学士学位;并在他们获得 博士学位;建立高知名度的独立研究事业;并承担科学领导职务。 我们已经逆向设计了一个为期两年的培训计划， 主要研究型大学的博士生，假设作为一名博士生， 其根源在于大一和大二的经历。有才华的新生积极从事生物医学职业 研究将通过PCC和ELAC的低年级专业得到支持和培养， 同时在加州州立大学洛杉矶分校全年实验室研究培训，利用每个优势 机构：在ELAC和PCC强大和支持教学环境，以及强大的本科 加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的研究传统。这种强大的组合旨在增加B2B学员的研究 技能;提高他们的学术背景和成就;让他们接触一系列生物医学 科学和科学家在所有职业阶段;并将他们融入更广泛的南加州 生物医学研究社区。将B2B与U-RISE相结合，提供了培训工作的连续性，并增强了 毕业后进入顶尖的博士课程。通过T34机制，我们可以支持全年的多- 一年参与本科研究，以研究参与取代校外兼职工作， 加州州立大学洛杉矶分校。在ELAC/PCC的学者和加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的研究培训之间分配时间 由于三个校区的邻近，在学年期间可以进行。 B2B在加州州立大学洛杉矶分校计划是由：1）早期和持续参与真实的一年- 一轮指导实验室研究; 2）一个坚实的本科课程，通过补充 教学，并注意提问; 3）讲习班，以加强课程; 4）改善 学员的科学写作; 5）参加年度生物医学研究务虚会; 6）发展 参加研讨会; 7）利用支持网络提高成功率; 8）职业发展和职业生涯 意识我们在培养少数民族人才以获得博士学位方面有经验，有能力和成就 程序.在过去的15年里，31名B2B校友获得了博士学位，另有24名B2B校友目前正在 博士生。通过T34 B2B增强培训，我们的三个机构可以做得更好。
