Project Abstract This Proposal is a competing continuation application for the existing Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program (GM065096) at Queensborough Community College (QCC). The partnership between QCC, Queens College and City College, three units of the City University of New York, will be maintained and strengthened to achieve the long term goals of improving QCC’s ability to train and graduate under-represented (UR) science students, and to facilitate their transfer to baccalaureate programs in biomedicine or behavioral science. The proposed program will impact on both Bridges and non-Bridges students. The Bridges students will conduct research under the supervision of experienced biology, chemistry, physics, math and behavioral science faculty mentors. These research mentors will serve as role models and provide students with encouragement, career advisement and visibility within the academic community. Scientific communication skills will be explicitly taught, and each student will give an oral presentation and submit a written report at the program wide seminar. A comprehensive system of academic and psychosocial support will be provided to participants. Transfer counseling and early interaction with the senior colleges will ease transition to baccalaureate programs. Institutional UR outcomes will be improved through enhanced academic planning, curricula development, updated technology in teaching labs, faculty development, and the introduction of peer mentoring. Enrichment Workshops will be provided to students in General Biology I and Pre-Calculus to help them get beyond the “gateway” to careers in biomedicine. The Gateway to Research workshops will help increase self-efficacy and eliminate student misconceptions about research. In addition, students will continue to learn of the excitement and significance of biomedical research through the Bridges Research Seminars. The project’s goals are closely aligned with those of the NIH and will serve to increase the number of URM students in the biomedical/behavioral science pathway, a key factor in reducing health disparities.

项目摘要 本建议书是现有桥梁的竞争性延续申请， 学士学位课程（GM 065096）在皇后区社区学院（QCC）。的 QCC、皇后学院和城市学院，城市大学的三个单位 将维持和加强联合国在纽约的作用，以实现改善 QCC的能力，培训和毕业的代表性不足（UR）科学学生，并促进 将他们转入生物医学或行为科学的学士学位课程。 拟议的计划将影响桥梁和非桥梁学生。的 布里奇斯的学生将在经验丰富的生物学，化学， 物理、数学和行为科学系导师。这些研究导师将作为 榜样，并为学生提供鼓励，职业发展和知名度内 学术界。科学的沟通技巧将被明确教授，每一个 学生将在课程范围内的研讨会上做口头报告并提交书面报告。一 将为参加者提供全面的学术和心理社会支助系统。 转学咨询和与高级学院的早期互动将有助于过渡到 学士学位课程。 将通过加强学术规划， 课程开发，教学实验室的最新技术，教师发展，以及 实行同伴指导。将为学生提供丰富的工作坊， 普通生物学我和预演算，以帮助他们超越“门户”的职业生涯， 生物医药网关研究研讨会将有助于提高自我效能和消除 学生对研究的误解。此外，学生将继续学习 通过桥梁研究研讨会的生物医学研究的兴奋和意义。的 该项目的目标与NIH的目标密切一致，将有助于增加 URM学生在生物医学/行为科学途径，减少健康的关键因素 差距。
