项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request continuing support for a Miami Dade College (MDC) and University of Miami (UM) partnership that has been funded since 1994 by five successive Bridges to the Baccalaureate awards. We have two overall goals, one targeting Bridge scholars and the other the general science student population at MDC. We aim to increase the number of scholars entering doctoral programs in the biomedical sciences by 50 percent. We will modify our recruitment of students from Miami-Dade County by sending scholars to their former high school, and we will continue to provide supplementary instruction to increase scholars' academic competitiveness. We will encourage interest in research through a new integrative introductory research-based laboratory course, provision of hourly wages for research with faculty mentors at UM, and support for student attendance and presentations at national meetings. We will raise parents' appreciation of research careers through Family Science Sunday events, at which families will participate in authentic research with a UM faculty mentor. With this proposal, we renew our commitment to having an institutional impact at MDC by helping students from underrepresented groups graduate and enter biomedical research careers. We aim to increase the number of all MDC science students receiving their associate degrees by 50 percent and the number transferring to four-year institutions by 50 percent. We will accomplish this by 1) extending to MDC our introductory research-based biology/chemistry lab model to reach many more students, 2) implementing a virtual Peer-Led Team-Learning program that will accommodate the large number of MDC science students who are commuters, and 3) motivating MDC students through an ambassador program in which scholars present their research experiences to their MDC peers. In addition, faculty from both institutions will participate in teaching-innovation workshops to learn about and share techniques related to student-centered learning.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求继续支持迈阿密戴德学院 (MDC) 和迈阿密大学 (UM) 的合作关系，该合作关系自 1994 年以来一直由连续五届“通往学士学位之桥”奖项资助。我们有两个总体目标，一个针对 Bridge 学者，另一个针对 MDC 的普通科学学生群体。我们的目标是将进入生物医学科学博士项目的学者人数增加 50%。我们将修改对迈阿密戴德县学生的招生方式，将学者送到他们以前的高中，我们将继续提供补充指导，以提高学者的学术竞争力。我们将通过新的基于研究的综合介绍性实验室课程、为与密西根大学教师导师一起进行研究提供小时工资以及支持学生参加全国会议和发表演讲来鼓励人们对研究的兴趣。我们将通过家庭科学周日活动提高家长对研究事业的重视，在活动中，家庭将与密西根大学教师导师一起参与真实的研究。通过这项提案，我们重申了通过帮助代表性不足群体的学生毕业并进入生物医学研究职业来对 MDC 产生机构影响的承诺。我们的目标是将获得副学士学位的所有 MDC 理科学生人数增加 50%，并将转入四年制院校的人数增加 50%。我们将通过以下方式实现这一目标：1) 将我们基于研究的介绍性生物/化学实验室模型扩展到 MDC，以覆盖更多学生；2) 实施虚拟同行主导的团队学习计划，该计划将容纳大量通勤的 MDC 理科学生；3) 通过大使计划激励 MDC 学生，在该计划中，学者们向 MDC 同行展示他们的研究经验。此外，两个机构的教师将参加教学创新研讨会，以了解和分享与以学生为中心的学习相关的技术。
