SF2UF: The Bridges to the Baccalaureate partnership between Santa Fe College and the University of Florida

项目总结/摘要 圣达菲学院（SF）和佛罗里达大学（UF）寻求继续SF 2UF计划， 旨在增加转学的代表性不足（UR）学生人数的伙伴关系 从SF到UF，毕业于学士学位，并继续从事生物医学和 行为科学相关学科。为了SF 2UF项目的目的，UR学生是 符合以下至少一项标准的人：1）来自种族和族裔群体的个人 在健康相关科学领域代表性不足的人（黑人或非裔美国人，西班牙裔或 拉丁美洲人、美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民），2） 残疾人，和3）来自弱势背景的个人（根据NIH不- OD-20-031）。SF 2UF程序设计基于三个基本原则：1）第一， 两年的大学教育是最关键的招聘和留住学生在 科学; 2）早期和持续参与高质量的指导研究增加 保持和学习成绩，特别是在UR学生中;和3）解决心理问题 与学生的健康和健康应该是培训计划的一个重要组成部分， UR本科转学生。该计划有五个可衡量的具体目标， 绩效目标：1）增加25%的SF新生入学人数， 计划相关的课程谁正在考虑作为一个研究科学家的职业生涯，2）招聘29 学员进入SF 2UF计划超过五年，2）实现100%的学员成功 转入UF或其他四年制院校，3）保留至少90%的学员， 4）至少90%的学员毕业时获得学士学位。度内 四年加入该计划，和5）实现至少75%的学员继续 学士后学位课程-包括至少60%继续博士学位。程度 计划-在获得学士学位的两年内。SF 2UF计划旨在实现 这些目标与新的教育计划在SF，和一个综合的研究指导， 在SF和UF的职业发展经验，旨在为学员准备入学 竞争性博士学位程序.

Project Summary/Abstract Santa Fe College (SF) and the University of Florida (UF) seek to continue the SF2UF program, a partnership designed to increase the number of underrepresented (UR) students who transfer from SF to UF, graduate with baccalaureate degrees, and continue to careers in biomedical and behavioral science-related disciplines. For the purposes of the SF2UF project, UR students are those who meet at least one of the following criteria:1) individuals from racial and ethnic groups that are underrepresented in health-related sciences (Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders), 2) individuals with disabilities, and 3) individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds (per NIH NOT- OD-20-031). The SF2UF program design is based on three foundational principles: 1) the first two years of college are the most critical for recruitment and retention of students in the sciences; 2) early and consistent participation in high-quality mentored research increases retention and academic performance, especially among UR students; and 3) addressing mental health and wellness with students should be an essential component of a training program for UR undergraduate transfer students. The program has five measurable specific aims as performance targets: 1) increase by 25% the number of freshman students at SF enrolled in the program-associated courses who are considering a career as a research scientist, 2) recruit 29 trainees into the SF2UF program over five years, 2) achieve 100% of the trainees successfully transferring to UF or another four-year institution, 3) retain at least 90% of the trainees for the full three-year training period, 4) graduate at least 90% of the trainees with a B.S. degree within four years of joining the program, and 5) achieve at least 75% of the trainees continuing to a post-baccalaureate degree programs — including at least 60% continuing to a Ph.D. degree program — within two years of earning the BS degree. The SF2UF program aims to achieve these targets with novel educational programs at SF, and an integrated research mentoring and career development experience at SF and UF designed to prepare the trainees for matriculation to a competitive Ph.D. program.
