DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request continuing support for a University of Miami (UM) and Miami Dade College (MDC) partnership which has been funded since 1993 by four successive Bridges to the Baccalaureate awards. An overarching goal of our partnership is to increase the number of underrepresented, underserved minority students entering Ph.D. programs in biomedical research. We have pursued that goal by focusing on student development, curriculum supplementation, and MDC faculty capacity building. In this proposal, we refine our activities for actively recruiting needy high-school students from Miami-Dade County; for providing supplementary courses and workshops to increase bridge scholars' academic competitiveness; and for encouraging interest in research through a collaborative-learning, inquiry-based laboratory course, provision of hourly wages for summer research with mentors at UM, extramural research experiences, support for student attendance and presentations at national meetings, and outreach to parents to raise appreciation of research careers for their children. But with this proposal we take on a new, NIH-mandated, second overarching goal of institutional enhancement: to increase the number of all MDC science students receiving their associate degrees and transferring to a four-year institution. We will accomplish this by motivating MDC students through a Bridge Ambassador Program in which bridge scholars are peer models, through offering UM research faculty career seminars at MDC, and though increasing the academic competitiveness of MDC students in their gateway General Chemistry course by implementing Peer-Led Team Learning on the MDC campuses. We will enhance the MDC curriculum in biology and chemistry and the capacity of MDC faculty to infuse a quantitative approach into that curriculum by providing support for MDC faculty to attend workshops and meetings on innovative teaching, by convening a summer workshop for MDC and UM faculty to exchange and coordinate curricula, and by establishing an MDC/UM Faculty Partnership Program. In that program, MDC and UM faculty will teach together in one another's classrooms and laboratories. The proposed Bridge Program between the University of Miami and Miami Dade College will contribute towards NIH's goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minorities with Ph.D.s in the biomedical sciences. Students at community colleges generally are an untapped pool of talent that could make a real difference if provided with career paths to biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们要求继续支持迈阿密大学（UM）和迈阿密戴德学院（MDC）的合作伙伴关系，自1993年以来，该合作伙伴关系已连续四次获得学士学位桥梁奖。我们合作的首要目标是增加代表性不足，服务不足的少数民族学生进入博士学位的数量。生物医学研究的项目。我们一直致力于学生发展，课程补充和MDC教师能力建设的重点，以实现这一目标。在这项提案中，我们完善了我们的活动，积极招募迈阿密戴德县有需要的高中学生;提供补充课程和讲习班，以提高桥梁学者的学术竞争力;以及通过协作学习，探究式实验室课程，为夏季研究提供小时工资，与UM导师，校外研究经验，支持学生出席全国会议并在会上发言，并与家长开展外联活动，以提高其子女对研究事业的认识。但是，通过这项提案，我们采取了一个新的，NIH授权的，第二个总体目标的机构增强：增加所有MDC科学学生获得副学士学位，并转移到一个四年制的机构的数量。我们将通过激励MDC学生通过桥梁大使计划，其中桥梁学者是同行模型，通过在MDC提供UM研究教师职业研讨会来实现这一目标，并通过在MDC校园实施同行领导的团队学习来提高MDC学生在其门户普通化学课程中的学术竞争力。我们将提高MDC的生物和化学课程和MDC教师的能力，通过为MDC教师提供支持，参加创新教学研讨会和会议，通过召开MDC和UM教师交流和协调课程的夏季研讨会，并通过建立MDC/UM教师合作计划，将定量方法注入该课程。在该计划中，MDC和UM教师将在彼此的教室和实验室一起授课。拟议中的迈阿密大学和迈阿密戴德学院之间的桥梁项目将有助于实现NIH的目标，即增加在生物医学科学领域获得博士学位的少数民族人数。社区学院的学生通常是一个尚未开发的人才库，如果提供生物医学研究的职业道路，他们可以发挥真实的作用。
