Bridge to the Baccalaureate Research Training Program at New Mexico State University

此提案是一个新的申请桥梁学士学位（BS）T34计划（机会 编号PAR-22-125）在拉斯克鲁塞斯的新墨西哥州州立大学（NMSU）。方案提出 在两所社区学院为美国印第安人（AI）和西班牙裔学生提供服务。这些机构联合起来 拥有4293名AI学生和10，699名西班牙裔学生（2021-22学年的数据）。 社区学院由两所国家支持的社区学院组成： 学院和圣胡安学院在法明顿，新墨西哥州。要求为方案提供5年资金 活动吸引，丰富，加强准备，并推进AI和西班牙裔学生进入 与生物医学科学相一致的学士学位课程。此应用程序的年度目标 ㈠将在社区组织和举办一系列征聘/宣传讲习班 社区学院的合作伙伴MPI。这将介绍>100 AI和西班牙裔健康 和科学专业研究生物医学和生物医学相关研究的就业机会， NMSU。(ii)从目标（i）的学生库中，10-15名预录取的学员将参观NMSU校园， 春季为一个为期两天的迎新计划，为即将到来的夏季研究经验做准备。（三） 从目标（ii）的学生库中，10名受训人员将与一名教师导师进行全职研究， 在NMSU校园的9-10个夏季周期间参加许多结构化的丰富研讨会。 讲习班将包括：提高进行研究和编写科学报告的计算机技能 海报;研究道德行为的讨论;全面的实验室安全培训;制定 科学写作和表达技能;再现性指导;学术转移;以及， 完成B.S.的财务规划（四）NMSU研究密集型教师将担任 暑期研究导师，并作为研究顾问后，学生转移到BS程序在NMSU。（五） 该申请建议将65%的夏季研究参与者转移到BS机构， 65%的被调动者毕业于学士学位。(vi)NMSU B2B计划将支持学员， 已经转移到NMSU，直到另一个适当的NMSU本科培训计划（如MARC） 可以接受并进一步支持学员。上一个NMSU R25桥梁计划（2006-2022） 产生了58个几乎完全是美国印第安人的学士学位。

This proposal is a new application for a Bridges to the Baccalaureate Degree (BS) T34 Program (Opportunity number PAR-22-125) at the New Mexico State University (NMSU), Las Cruces. The program proposes to serve American Indian (AI) and Hispanic students at two community colleges. These institutions combined have an enrollment of 4293 AI students and 10,699 Hispanic students (data from academic year 2021-22). The community colleges are composed of two state-supported community colleges: Dona Ana Community College and San Juan College in Farmington, NM. Funding for 5 years is requested for programmatic activities that attract, enrich, enhance preparedness, and advance AI and Hispanic students into baccalaureate degree programs aligned with the biomedical sciences. The annual goals of this application are: (i) A series of recruitment/informational workshops will be organized and conducted at the community colleges by the resident community college partner MPIs. This will introduce >100 AI and Hispanic health and science majors to research career opportunities in biomedicine and biomedical-related research at NMSU. (ii) From the student pool in goal (i), 10-15 pre-admitted trainees will visit the NMSU campus each spring for a one-two day orientation program to prepare for forthcoming summer research experiences. (iii) From the student pool of goal (ii), 10 trainees will conduct fulltime research with a faculty mentor and participate in many structured enrichment workshops during 9-10 summer weeks at the campus of NMSU. Workshops will include: enhancement of computer skills for conducting research and preparing a scientific poster; discussions of ethical conduct of research; comprehensive laboratory safety training; development of scientific writing and presentation skills; instruction in reproducibility; academic transfer advisement; and, financial planning for completion of the B.S. degree; (iv) NMSU research-intensive faculty will serve as summer research preceptors and as research advisors after students transfer to a BS program at NMSU. (v) This application proposes to transfer 65% of its summer research participants to BS institutions and to graduate 65% of the transferees with a BS degree. (vi) The NMSU B2B program will support trainees who have transferred to NMSU until another appropriate NMSU undergraduate training program (such as MARC) can accept and further support the trainee. The previous NMSU R25 Bridge Program (2006-2022) has produced 58 almost exclusively American Indian baccalaureate degrees.
