Bridges to Baccalaureate Research Training Program at Portland Community College

项目摘要/摘要 B2B PDX Metro的使命是从代表性不足(UR)群体中招聘、培训和指导学生 提高社区学院向高校衔接的实效性，及时支持 通过将教学、研究、指导和职业结合起来完成生物医学学士学位 将发展要素融入到学生体验中。该项目的目标是：目标1：整合 将基于证据的有效实践转化为结构化的、增强多样性的研究培训计划 一批强大的UR研究型本科生促进了科学认同、自我发展 效力和归属感；概念和技术知识；实践和操作经验；以及 专业发展技能。目标2：将包容性的循证做法纳入课程， 有组织的培训活动、指导和研究体验，以提供增强的研究培训 环境，以增加UR学生对生物医学研究途径的参与；促进 培养所有背景的实习生；增加UR学生进入学士学位课程的桥梁； 并提高拥有相关技能的人在生物医学领域获得学士学位的人数， 为生物医学研究队伍做出贡献或继续相关工作的资历和经验 学术追求。目标3：提高生物医学研究人员队伍的多样性 UR毕业生加入不同的训练有素的科学家队伍，他们将为这一劳动力做出贡献 并满足国家的生物医学、行为和临床研究需求。基本原理：B2B PDX城域 该计划建立在波特兰社区学院(PCC)、克拉卡马斯 社区学院(CCC)和波特兰州立大学(PSU)的长期目标是增加 在生物医学和行为科学研究职业生涯中UR学生的数量。设计：这种培训模式 在24个月的实习生任命中有三个连续的阶段：社区学院的桥梁预科， 重点是为成功做好准备；搭桥，重点是确保成功转移到 PSU；以及PSU的整合，重点是与PSU社区的接触。的具体目标 B2B包括支持不同的学生转到PSU的过程，让学员开始开发 个人发展计划(IDP)，用于在二年级开始前获得PSU学位 社区学院，提供有针对性的技能提升和课程学习，以增加他们在 过渡到PSU，整合到PSU的项目和生物医学研究培训中，并缩短 学位和成就成果。这是一个为期两年的脚手架培训计划，旨在支持UR 对生物医学研究事业感兴趣的学生，通过指导、定制课程和实践 有指导的研究经验。数据收集和分析将侧重于能够 在转学过程中为UR生物医学学生提供最好的支持，并在完成学位后留住他们。

Project Summary/Abstract The mission of B2B PDX Metro is to recruit, train, and mentor students from underrepresented (UR) groups to increase the effectiveness of bridging from community colleges to a university and support the timely completion of a biomedical bachelor’s degree by incorporating didactic, research, mentoring, and career development elements into the student experience. Objectives for this project are: Objective 1: Integrate effective, evidence-based practices into a structured, diversity-enhancing research training program for a strong cohort of UR research-oriented undergraduates to promote the development of science identity, self- efficacy, and belonging; conceptual and technical knowledge; practical and operational experience; and professional development skills. Objective 2: Integrate inclusive, evidence-based practices into courses, structured training activities, mentoring, and research experiences to provide an enhanced research training environment to increase participation of UR students in biomedical research pathways; promote the development of trainees from all backgrounds; increase bridging of UR students into baccalaureate programs; and increase attainment of bachelor’s degrees in biomedical fields by those who possess the skills, credentials, and experiences to contribute to the biomedical research workforce or to continue related academic pursuits. Objective 3: Enhance diversity of the biomedical research workforce by increasing participation of UR graduates in a diverse pool of well-trained scientists who will contribute to that workforce and address the Nation’s biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. Rationale: The B2B PDX Metro program builds on an existing and strong partnership among Portland Community College (PCC), Clackamas Community College (CCC), and Portland State University (PSU) with the long-term objective to increase the number of UR students in biomedical and behavioral sciences research careers. Design: This training model has three sequential phases over the 24-month trainee appointment: Pre-Bridge at the Community College, with emphasis on preparation for success; Bridging, with an emphasis on ensuring a successful transfer to PSU; and Integration at PSU, with an emphasis on engagement with the PSU community. Specific aims of B2B include supporting diverse students in their transfer process to PSU, having trainees begin developing an Individual Development Plan (IDP) for attainment of a PSU degree prior to the start of their sophomore year at the community college, providing targeted up-skilling and course-taking to increase their chances of success in bridging to PSU, integrating into programs and biomedical research training at PSU, and improving time-to- degree and attainment outcomes. This is a two-year scaffolded training program designed to support UR students interested in biomedical research careers through mentoring, tailored curriculum, and hands-on mentored research experiences. Data collection and analysis will be focused on institutional levers that can best support UR biomedical students through the transfer process and retain them through degree completion.
