Bridges to Baccalaureate Research Training Program at Portland Community College

项目总结/摘要 B2B PDX Metro的使命是招募，培训和指导来自代表性不足（UR）群体的学生， 提高从社区学院到大学的桥梁的有效性，并及时支持 通过结合教学，研究，指导和职业生涯完成生物医学学士学位 发展元素融入学生体验。本项目的目标是：目标1：整合 有效的，以证据为基础的做法到一个结构化的，多样性增强的研究培训计划， 强大的UR研究型本科生队列，以促进科学身份，自我， 有效性和归属感;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， 结构化的培训活动，指导和研究经验，以提供增强的研究培训 环境，以增加UR学生在生物医学研究途径的参与;促进 发展来自各种背景的受训人员;增加UR学生进入学士学位课程的桥梁; 并增加那些拥有技能的人在生物医学领域获得学士学位的人数， 证书和经验，以促进生物医学研究队伍或继续相关 学术追求。目标3：增加生物医学研究人员的多样性， UR毕业生参与各种训练有素的科学家，他们将为劳动力做出贡献 并满足国家的生物医学，行为和临床研究需求。理由：B2B PDX Metro 该计划建立在波特兰社区学院（PCC），克拉克马斯 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的UR学生人数。设计：该培训模式 在24个月的实习期内，有三个连续的阶段：社区学院的预科， 衔接，重点是确保成功过渡到 PSU;和PSU的整合，重点是与PSU社区的互动。具体目标 B2B包括支持不同的学生在他们的转移过程中PSU，有学员开始发展， 个人发展计划（IDP），在大二开始之前获得PSU学位， 社区学院，提供有针对性的提高技能和课程，以增加他们成功的机会， 衔接到PSU，融入PSU的计划和生物医学研究培训，并提高时间， 程度和成就。这是一个为期两年的脚手架培训计划，旨在支持UR 通过指导，量身定制的课程和实践，对生物医学研究职业感兴趣的学生 指导研究经验。数据收集和分析将侧重于机构杠杆， 最好的支持UR生物医学学生通过转移过程，并通过学位完成留住他们。

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.
