Bridges to the Baccalaureate Research Training Program at the University of Minnesota Duluth

项目摘要 生物医学研究职业桥梁的使命是提供财政和 学术支持社区学院的学生出现从服务不足的人口， 明尼苏达州，使他们的追求学士学位，通过参与质量 研究经验，以增加未来生物医学科学家的多样性。该计划是一个 明尼苏达大学杜卢斯（UMD）和UM医学院之间的合作 杜卢斯校区（UMMSD）为10名理科学生提供财政和学术资源 就读于丰迪拉克部落和社区学院（FDLTCC）在克洛凯，明尼苏达州和湖 位于明尼苏达州杜卢斯的上级学院（LSC）。此外，该计划将提供职业咨询， 教师指导和积极的学习项目，以发展批判性思维，并参与 做实验室研究来学习科学家的手艺学士学位授予机构 将是UMD，它提供学术，研究和社区外展到北方和 明尼苏达中部。该计划的目标是：1）确定候选人的调查能力 2）提供学术辅导，促进学员的发展; 提供高质量的指导，培养学员参与研究; 4）提供积极的 学习经验，磨练批判性思维;和5）提供尖端的经验， 研究学习生物医学科学的工具。预期成果是完成一项 AA学位三年，并转移到一所大学完成学士学位， 生物医学相关学科。目标是培养出自我认同为 生物医学科学家

Project Summary The mission of the Bridges to Biomedical Research Careers is to provide financial and academic support for community college students emerging from underserved populations in Minnesota and enable their pursuit of a baccalaureate degree by participating in quality research experiences to increase the diversity of future biomedical scientists. The program is a collaboration between the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) and the UM Medical School Duluth Campus (UMMSD) to provide financial and academic resources to ten science students enrolled at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College (FDLTCC) in Cloquet, MN and Lake Superior College (LSC) in Duluth, MN. Additionally, the program will provide career counseling, faculty mentoring, and active learning projects to develop critical thinking and to engage in bench research to learn the craft of a scientist. The Baccalaureate degree awarding institution will be UMD, which provides academic, research, and community outreach to northern and central Minnesota. Program objectives are: 1) Identify candidates with an aptitude for inquiry based science; 2) Provide academic counseling to facilitate the trainees’ development; 3) Provide quality mentoring that nurtures trainee participation in research; 4) Provide active learning experiences to hone critical thinking; and 5) Provide experience in cutting-edge research to learn the tools of biomedical science. The expected outcomes are to complete an AA degree by three years and transfer to a university to complete a baccalaureate degree in a biomedical-related discipline. The goal is to produce graduates who self-identity as a biomedical scientist.
