NORTH TEXAS TRANSITION PROGRAM IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE

德克萨斯女子大学(TWU)和塔兰特县学院(TCC) 建议继续他们在生物医学科学方面的过渡计划。该计划 目标是帮助更多来自代表性不足的少数群体的个人 攻读数学或科学学士学位，这样他们最终可以 获得博士学位，并在生物医学研究领域建立自己的事业。该计划 目标是：1)服务十名TCC学生，作为每三个项目的参与者 资助年份；2)通过以下方式帮助参与者在课堂上出类拔萃 个性化辅导、咨询和学生支持小组；3)提供 通过以下方式为参与者提供更多了解生物医学研究的机会 提供研讨会、实验室参观、暑期研究预科课程， 与研究有关的活动以及接触研究教员和同行导师的机会； 4)为所有参与者提供获得以下方面经验的机会 研究；5)为TCC教职员工提供与TWU合作的机会 研究和指导方面的教师；6)激励和指导至少90% 参与者转到四年制学院/大学的比例；7) 激励和指导至少90%转到四年制的学员 学院/大学完成学士学位；和8)激励 并指导至少90%的前参与者 学士学位将进入生物医学研究生课程 计划从事生物医学研究。课程评估和学生 跟踪将是连续和全面的，以确保计划 是尽可能有效的。

Texas Woman's University (TWU) and Tarrant County College (TCC) propose to continue their transition program in biomedical science. The program goal is to assist more individuals from underrepresented minority groups to pursue a baccalaureate degree in mathematics or science so they can eventually obtain a Ph.D. degree and builds a career in biomedical research. The program objectives are: 1) to serve ten TCC students as participants in each of three funding years; 2) to help participants excel in the classroom through individualized tutoring, advising and a student support group; 3) to provide opportunities for participants to learn more about biomedical research by offering seminars, laboratory tours, a summer preparatory course for research, research-related events and access to research faculty as well as peer mentors; 4) to provide opportunities for all participants to obtain experience in research; 5) to provide opportunities for TCC faculty to collaborate with TWU faculty in research and mentoring; 6) to motivate and guide at least 90percent of the participants to transfer to a four-year college/university; 7) to motivate and guide at least 90 percent of those who transfer to a four-year college/university to complete their baccalaureate degree; and 8) to motivate and guide at least 90 percent of former participants who earn their baccalaureate degree to enter graduate programs in biomedical science with plans to pursue a career in biomedical research. Program evaluation and student tracking will be both continuous and comprehensive to ensure that the program is as effective as possible.
