DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a competing continuation application for an existing Bridges to the Baccalaureate Degree Program (PAR-02-084) at New Mexico State University (NMSU), Las Cruces. The program proposes to serve American Indian (Al) students at five community colleges. These institutions enroll 6,142 Al students from the Din< (Navajo) Nation, the Jicarilla Apache Nation, and nineteen New Mexico Pueblos. They include: Three true tribal community colleges, Din College at Shiprock, NM, Din College at Tsaile, AZ, and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute at Albuquerque, NM; lone state-supported community college, University of New Mexico Gallup Branch at Gallup, NM; and one true community college, San Juan College at Farmington, NM. Funding for 3 years is requested for programmatic activities that attract, enrich, enhance preparedness, and advance Al students into baccalaureate degree programs aligned with the biomedical sciences. The annual goals of this application are: (i) An academic-year seminar/lecture/workshop series will be organized at the community colleges with 30 faculty presenters from NMSU. This will introduce >120 Al science majors to research career opportunities in biomedicine and biomedical-related research in progress at NMSU. (ii) From the student pool in goal (i), 30-35 Al students will visit the NMSU campus each spring for a two-day orientation program to prepare for forthcoming summer research experiences, (iii) From the student pool of goal (ii), 17 Al students will conduct fulltime research with a faculty mentor and participate in many structured enrichment workshops during nine summer weeks at the campus of NMSU. Workshops will include: enhancing computer skills for analysis of research data; discussions of ethical conduct of research; comprehensive laboratory safety training; preparation of research posters; academic transfer advisement; and, financial planning for completion of the B.S. degree; (iv) Faculty seminar presenters will serve as summer research mentors and as academic advisors after students transfer to a B.S. program at NMSU. (v) This application proposes to transfer 70% of its summer research participants to B.S. institutions and to graduate 70% of the transferees With a B.S. degree, (vi) Opportunities are proposed for science instructors from the community colleges to conduct research during the summer months. This Bridge Program has advanced 64.9% (120 of 185 total) of its summer research participants into baccalaureate degree programs since 1992. Also, 64.8% of these transferred Al students have completed B.S. degrees.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是Las Cruces新墨西哥州立大学（NMSU）学士学位课程（PAR-02-084）现有桥梁的竞争性延续申请。该项目计划在五所社区大学为美国印第安人学生提供服务。这些机构招收了6142名来自纳瓦霍族、Jicarilla阿帕奇族和19个新墨西哥普韦布洛族的学生。其中包括：三所真正的部落社区学院，位于新墨西哥州希普罗克的丁学院，位于亚利桑那州Tsaile的丁学院和位于新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基的西南印第安理工学院；唯一一所州立社区学院，新墨西哥大学盖洛普分校，位于新墨西哥州盖洛普；还有一所真正的社区学院，位于新墨西哥州法明顿的圣胡安学院。要求为吸引、丰富、加强准备并推动人工智能学生进入与生物医学科学相一致的学士学位课程的规划活动提供三年资金。这项申请的年度目标是：(i)将在社区学院组织一个学年的研讨会/讲座/系列讲习班，由来自新密歇根州立大学的30名教师发表演讲。该计划将引进约120名人工智能专业学生，让他们在新密歇根州立大学研究生物医学和生物医学相关研究方面的就业机会。（ii）从目标(i)的学生池中，30-35名人工智能学生将于每年春天访问新密歇根州立大学校园，参加为期两天的培训计划，为即将到来的夏季研究经验做准备。（iii）从目标（ii）的学生池中，17名人工智能学生将在新密歇根州立大学校园的9周夏季期间，与教师导师一起进行全职研究，并参加许多结构化的充实讲习班。讲习班将包括：提高分析研究数据的计算机技能；研究伦理行为的讨论；全面的实验室安全培训；编制研究海报；转学咨询；完成学士学位的财务规划；（iv）教师研讨会主持人将担任夏季研究导师，并在学生转入新密歇根州立大学学士学位课程后担任学术顾问。(v)本申请建议将70%的暑期研究参加者转往理学士院校，并让70%的受让人获得理学士学位。（vi）建议为社区学院的科学导师提供在暑期进行研究的机会。自1992年以来，该桥梁项目已将其夏季研究参与者中的64.9%（185人中的120人）提升为学士学位课程。此外，这些转学的人工智能学生中有64.8%完成了学士学位。
