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）：本提案是拉斯克鲁塞斯新墨西哥州立大学 (NMSU) 现有学士学位课程桥梁 (PAR-02-084) 的竞争性延续申请。该计划提议为五所社区学院的美洲印第安人 (Al) 学生提供服务。这些机构招收了 6,142 名来自 Din<（纳瓦霍）民族、Jicarilla Apache 民族和 19 个新墨西哥州普韦布洛人的学生。其中包括：三所真正的部落社区学院，新墨西哥州希普罗克的丁学院、亚利桑那州蔡莱的丁学院和新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基的西南印度理工学院；唯一的国家支持的社区学院，位于新墨西哥州盖洛普的新墨西哥大学盖洛普分校；还有一所真正的社区学院，新墨西哥州法明顿的圣胡安学院。需要为吸引、丰富、加强准备和促进阿尔学生进入与生物医学科学相关的学士学位课程的计划活动提供 3 年的资金。该申请的年度目标是： (i) 将在社区学院组织一个学年研讨会/讲座/讲习班系列，由 NMSU 的 30 名教师主讲。这将引进超过 120 名人工智能科学专业的学生来研究 NMSU 正在进行的生物医学和生物医学相关研究的职业机会。 (ii) 从目标 (i) 的学生库中，30-35 名 Al 学生将每年春天访问 NMSU 校园，参加为期两天的迎新活动，为即将到来的夏季研究经验做准备，(iii) 从目标 (ii) 的学生库中，17 名 Al 学生将与教师导师一起进行全职研究，并在 NMSU 校园的九个夏季周期间参加许多结构化的强化研讨会。研讨会将包括： 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；准备研究海报；学术转学建议；以及完成学士学位的财务规划程度; (iv) 教师研讨会主持人将担任暑期研究导师，并在学生转入理学士学位后担任学术顾问。 NMSU 的项目。 (v) 本申请拟将 70% 的夏季研究参与者转至理学士学位。机构并使 70% 的转学生毕业并获得学士学位。 (vi) 建议社区学院的科学教师有机会在夏季进行研究。自 1992 年以来，该桥梁项目已将 64.9% 的夏季研究参与者（总共 185 名中的 120 名）晋升为学士学位课程。此外，这些转学的 Al 学生中 64.8% 已完成理学士学位课程。度。
