SF2UF: The Bridges to the Baccalaureate partnership between Santa Fe College and the University of Florida

项目摘要/摘要 圣达菲学院(SF)和佛罗里达大学(UF)寻求继续SF2UF项目， 旨在增加代表不足(UR)学生转学的数量的合作伙伴关系 从SF到UF，毕业于学士学位，并继续在生物医学和 与行为科学相关的学科。就SF2UF项目而言，UR学生 符合以下至少一项标准的人：1)来自种族和民族群体的个人 在与健康相关的科学中代表性不足(黑人或非裔美国人、西班牙裔或 拉美裔、美国印第安人或阿拉斯加土著、夏威夷土著和其他太平洋岛民)，2) 残疾人，以及3)弱势背景的个人(根据NIH不是- OD-20-031)。SF2UF程序设计基于三个基本原则：1)第一 大学的两年是招收和留住学生最关键的一年。 科学；2)早期和持续地参与高质量的指导研究增加 留存和学习成绩，特别是在UR学生中；以及3)解决心理问题 学生的健康和健康应该是培训计划的基本组成部分 我们的本科生转校生。该计划有五个可衡量的具体目标，包括 绩效目标：1)将顺丰的新生人数增加25% 正在考虑成为研究科学家的项目相关课程，招聘29人 参加SF2UF计划的学员超过五年，2)成功实现100%的学员 转到密歇根大学或其他四年制院校，3)保留至少90%的学员 完整的三年培训期，4)至少90%的学员在以下时间内获得理科学士学位 参加该计划的四年，以及5)至少75%的实习生继续 攻读学士学位后课程--包括至少60%继续攻读博士学位 课程-在获得理科学士学位后的两年内。SF2UF计划旨在实现 这些目标包括SF的创新教育计划，以及综合研究指导和 在SF和UF的职业发展经验，旨在为学员的入学做准备 竞争激烈的博士项目。

Project Summary/Abstract Santa Fe College (SF) and the University of Florida (UF) seek to continue the SF2UF program, a partnership designed to increase the number of underrepresented (UR) students who transfer from SF to UF, graduate with baccalaureate degrees, and continue to careers in biomedical and behavioral science-related disciplines. For the purposes of the SF2UF project, UR students are those who meet at least one of the following criteria:1) individuals from racial and ethnic groups that are underrepresented in health-related sciences (Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders), 2) individuals with disabilities, and 3) individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds (per NIH NOT- OD-20-031). The SF2UF program design is based on three foundational principles: 1) the first two years of college are the most critical for recruitment and retention of students in the sciences; 2) early and consistent participation in high-quality mentored research increases retention and academic performance, especially among UR students; and 3) addressing mental health and wellness with students should be an essential component of a training program for UR undergraduate transfer students. The program has five measurable specific aims as performance targets: 1) increase by 25% the number of freshman students at SF enrolled in the program-associated courses who are considering a career as a research scientist, 2) recruit 29 trainees into the SF2UF program over five years, 2) achieve 100% of the trainees successfully transferring to UF or another four-year institution, 3) retain at least 90% of the trainees for the full three-year training period, 4) graduate at least 90% of the trainees with a B.S. degree within four years of joining the program, and 5) achieve at least 75% of the trainees continuing to a post-baccalaureate degree programs — including at least 60% continuing to a Ph.D. degree program — within two years of earning the BS degree. The SF2UF program aims to achieve these targets with novel educational programs at SF, and an integrated research mentoring and career development experience at SF and UF designed to prepare the trainees for matriculation to a competitive Ph.D. program.
