CSUSM Bridges to Baccalaureate

项目摘要 CSUSMB2B(CSUSMB2B)项目支持NIH/NIGMS 通过增加成功的转移来增加生物医学劳动力的多样性的目标 从社区大学到四年制院校的代表不足(UR)群体的比率。这个 位于加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥县北部的CSUSMB2B计划包括合作伙伴 加州州立大学圣马科斯分校(CSUSM)、帕洛玛学院和米拉科斯塔学院 上大学。这一桥梁项目将专注于学术发展和无缝过渡 帕洛玛和米拉科斯塔UR社区学院的学生进入CSUSM或其他4年制 机构。CSUSMB2B计划面向社区大学早期的UR学生 参加一个有组织的两年制学术和职业发展计划。 通过瞄准UR学生的上学早期，这是一个众所周知的高辍学率，该计划 帮助他们在学业上做好准备，为成功制定个人发展计划 转移，并通过同伴指导和参与 研究活动。CSUSMB2B计划的具体目标是：1)创建一个大型池 通过广泛和积极的多元化招聘活动，为有前途的UR桥梁申请者提供支持； 2)使Bridges的学生能够成功转到四年制院校，完成学士/学士学位 通过新设计的课程，获得学位，最终获得生物医学博士学位， 补充指导、学术支持和技能讲习班；3)聘请桥梁学者 在研究中，包括接触生物医学领域的多样性，在教职员工中的安置 研究实验室(通常与UR同行或Bridges校友一起)，参加研究研讨会， 会议和申请校外暑期研究项目；4)确保高效 通过频繁的咨询和创建将桥梁学者转移到四年制院校 个人发展计划和课程活动；5)积极跟踪所有桥梁学者 15年通过使用个人联系人、数据库平台和求职网站；以及6)评估 我们计划的成功是通过跟踪申请者和 学者指标和成功，评估科学身份发展，比较桥梁 结果给了一组匹配的匿名的非参与者学生。在过去15年里， CSUSMB2B计划非常成功，平均转化率为92%至四年 院校，88%、16%和14%已经或正在完成学士、硕士或 分别获得博士学位。拟议的方案建立在经验和体制的基础上 支持这些伙伴机构继续支持NIH/NIGMS的使命。

Project Summary The CSUSM Bridges to the Baccalaureate (CSUSMB2B) program supports the NIH/NIGMS goal of increasing the diversity of the biomedical workforce by increasing the successful transfer rates of under-represented (UR) groups from community colleges to 4-year institutions. The CSUSMB2B program, located in north San Diego County California, includes the partner institutions of California State University San Marcos (CSUSM), Palomar College and MiraCosta College. This Bridges Program will focus on the academic development and seamless transfer of Palomar and MiraCosta UR community college students to CSUSM, or other 4-year institutions. The CSUSMB2B Program targets UR students early in their community college attendance to enroll them in a structured 2-year academic and career development program. By targeting UR students early in their schooling, a known high dropout period, the program helps prepare them academically, creates individual development plans for successful transferring, and helps foster their science identities through peer-mentoring and participation in research activities. The specific aims of the CSUSMB2B Program are to: 1) create a large pool of promising UR Bridges applicants through broad and proactive diversity recruitment activities; 2) empower Bridges students to successfully transfer to a 4-year institution, complete a BS/BA degree, and ultimately a PhD in biomedical sciences, through newly designed curriculum, Supplemental Instruction, academic support and skill workshops; 3) engage Bridges Scholars in research including exposure to the diversity of biomedical fields, placement in faculty research labs (often with UR peers or Bridges alumni), attendance of research seminars, conferences and application to extramural summer research programs; 4) ensure efficient transfer of Bridges Scholars to 4-year institutions through frequent advising and creation of individual development plans and curricular activities; 5) vigorously track all Bridges Scholars for 15 years by using personal contacts, database platforms and career websites; and 6) assess the success of our program through a comprehensive evaluation plan that tracks applicant and Scholar metrics and success, evaluate science identity development, and compare Bridges outcomes to a matched, anonymous group of non-participant students. Over the past 15 years, the CSUSMB2B program has been very successful, averaging a 92% transfer rate to four-year institutions, and 88%,16% and 14% have completed or are finishing a bachelors, masters or doctoral degree respectively. The proposed program builds on the experience and institutional support of these partner institutions to continue to support the mission of NIH/NIGMS.
