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)：本提案是对拉斯克鲁塞斯新墨西哥州立大学(NMSU)现有学士学位课程(PAR-02-084)桥梁的竞争性续签申请。该计划计划为五所社区大学的美国印第安人(Al)学生提供服务。这些机构招收了来自Din&lt；(纳瓦霍)民族、吉卡里拉·阿帕奇民族和19个新墨西哥州普韦布洛的6142名Al学生。它们包括：三所真正的部落社区学院，新墨西哥州希普罗克的Din学院，亚利桑那州Tsaile的Din学院，以及新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基的西南印度理工学院；新墨西哥州盖洛普大学盖洛普分校的Lone州立社区学院；以及一所真正的社区学院，新墨西哥州法明顿的圣胡安学院。为吸引、丰富、加强准备和促进Al学生进入与生物医学科学相一致的学士学位课程而进行的计划活动需要3年的资金。这项申请的年度目标是：(I)将在社区学院组织一次为期一年的研讨会/讲座/讲习班系列，来自国立墨尔本州立大学的30名教职员工将出席。这将介绍120名Al科学专业的学生在NMSU研究生物医学和正在进行的生物医学相关研究的职业机会。(Ii)在目标(I)的学生池中，每年春季将有30-35名AI学生访问NMSU校园，参加为期两天的迎新计划，为即将到来的暑期研究经历做准备；(Iii)从Goal(II)的学生池中，17名Al学生将在教师导师的指导下进行全日制研究，并在NMSU校园的九个夏季周期间参加许多有组织的充实讲习班。讲习班将包括：提高分析研究数据的计算机技能；讨论研究的伦理行为；全面的实验室安全培训；准备研究海报；学术转学建议；以及完成理科学士学位的财务规划；(4)学院研讨会主持人将担任暑期研究导师，并在学生转到国立墨尔本大学理学士课程后担任学术顾问。(V)这项申请建议把70%的暑期研究参与者转往理工科院校，并让70%的受调者取得理科学士学位，(Vi)建议社区学院的科学导师有机会在暑期进行研究。自1992年以来，这个桥梁项目已经将64.9%的暑期研究参与者(185人中的120人)提升到了学士学位课程。此外，这些转学的Al学生中有64.8%完成了理科学士学位。
