SF2UF: A new Bridges Baccalaureate program between Santa Fe College and the University of Florida.

 描述（由申请人提供）：圣达菲学院（SF）和佛罗里达大学（UF）寻求发展SF 2UF计划，旨在增加谁从SF转移到UF和生物医学和行为科学相关学科的学士学位毕业的学生人数不足的伙伴关系。为了SF 2UF项目的目的，UR学生是那些在科学领域代表性不足的种族或少数民族，残疾人或低收入者。SF 2UF计划的两个指导主题是，大学的前两年是招聘和保留学生在科学方面最关键的，并且早期参与指导研究可以提高保留率和学习成绩，特别是在UR学生中。更多的本科生从SF转移到UF比从所有其他社区学院结合，在生物医学和行为科学相关学科，在SF UR学生是一半的可能性非UR学生转移到UF。SF 2UF计划将通过九个主要组成部分来解决这一差异：1）为学生参与者建立有保障的UF转学录取政策; 2）建立机制，在SF和UF的学术顾问之间沟通转学要求和期望的变化; 3）建立SF和UF之间的共同学习成果以及基础科学课程中有效的教学技术; 4）现代化的科学和行为课程在SF可用的教学资源; 5）在SF创建一个化学和生物学工作室，将提供辅导所有感兴趣的SF学生; 6）开发和提供在SF进入研究课程，将学生介绍给科学的职业，并与热情的UF研究科学家从事他们; 7）开发和提供X-实验室研究所，暑期课程，以提供关键的生物医学和行为科学研究技能，基本统计和RCR的SF 2UF参与者培训; 8）招聘UF教师导师，研究生和博士后完成旨在提高他们在指导UR学生的有效性辅导研讨会; 9）将48名SF学生与NIH资助的教师导师在UF进行为期三年的连续研究经验和有效的指导。1

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Santa Fe College (SF) and the University of Florida (UF) seek to develop the SF2UF program, a partnership designed to increase the number of underrepresented students who transfer from SF to UF and graduate with baccalaureate degrees in biomedical and behavioral science- related disciplines. For the purposes of the SF2UF project, UR students are those who are racial or ethnic minorities under-represented in the sciences, persons with disabilities, or persons with low-income. The two guiding themes of the SF2UF program are that the first two years of college are the most critical for recruitment and retention of students in the sciences, and that early participation in mentored research increases retention and academic performance, especially among UR students. More undergraduate students transfer to UF from SF than from all other community colleges combined, within the biomedical and behavioral science-related disciplines, UR students at SF are half as likely as non-UR students to transfer to UF. The SF2UF program will target this disparity with nine main components: 1) establish guaranteed UF transfer admission policies for student participants; 2) establish mechanisms for communicating changes in transfer requirements and expectations between academic advisors at SF and UF; 3) establish common learning outcomes between SF and UF and effective instructional techniques in the foundational science courses; 4) modernize the teaching resources available in science and behavior courses at SF; 5) create a Chemistry and Biology Studio at SF that will provide tutoring to all interested SF students; 6) develop and offer an Entering Research course at SF that will introduce students to the profession of science and engage them with enthusiastic UF research scientists; 7) develop and offer the X-Lab Institute, a summer program to provide the SF2UF participants training in key biomedical and behavioral science research skills, basic statistics and RCR; 8) recruit UF faculty preceptors, graduate students and post-docs to complete a mentoring workshop designed to increase their effectiveness in mentoring UR students; 9) place 48 SF students with NIH-funded faculty preceptors at UF for three years of continuous research experience and effective mentorship. 1
