坎伯兰郡学院到罗文大学的桥梁（CB 2 R） 向国立卫生研究院提出的通往学士学位课程的建议 摘要 罗文大学（RU），一个位于新泽西州格拉斯伯勒的四年制研究机构，和铅 学院和葡萄园的两年制社区学院坎伯兰县学院（CCC）， 新泽西州，已经联合起来，从美国国立卫生研究院的“桥梁”项目中获得资金， 学士学位”助学金项目。这项计划旨在开发、推出和维持一个独特的、 在生物医学科学多层次的研究教育计划，以增加CCC的池 来自不同背景的学生谁在CCC接受重要的研究培训，转移 成功地到RU和进行更高层次的研究，完成学士学位，去 在这个领域的研究生涯。 CB 2 R的计划是基于两个机构的评估需求，这两个机构寻求改善 生物医学专业代表性不足学生的续读率以及3年和6年毕业率 科学;为代表性不足的学生增加教育机会，并使RU多样化 生物医学研究学生群体。该计划旨在支持 NIH的目标是增加多样性，提高质量，观点和创造力， 通过将一所备受尊敬的，高度多样化的县学院与一所贫困的 县与一个强大的和不断增长的研究型大学在一个富裕的地区寻求多样化的 自己的学生团体。 CB 2 R的短期和中期目标是加强人才库， URM生物医学科学学生在CCC谁成功地转移到RU，并完成他们的 学士学位。这些目标得到了CB 2 R计划的支持： ·制定和实施一个高质量的机构内计划， 学术支持; ·在社区学院和大学设计和开展有偿研究活动， 在经济上帮助低收入学生，同时发展他们的研究技能; ·在CCC和RU提供广泛的培训和指导; ·提供明确的学术规划和定制的转移活动， 减少学生完成学业的时间;大大提高他们的技能准备;以及 确保他们的学术成功和研究生课程和/或 生物医学研究人员。 最终目标是通过以下方式在CCC和RU将CB 2 R计划制度化 制定全面的方案“模板”和持续的机构承诺 详细情况见提案说明和承诺书。 总的来说，罗文大学和坎伯兰县学院之间的CB 2 R伙伴关系 将努力达到NIH桥梁项目70%的成功率 学生转学，50%完成学士学位。 拨款申请：CB 2 R伙伴关系在五年内向国家预算寻求1，414，067美元。 卫生研究所为三个不同的学生群体提供广泛的服务：18 CB 2 R研究员，60名CB 2 R学者和150名CB 2 R同事。

“Cumberland County College Bridges to Rowan University (CB2R)” A proposal to the National Institutes of Health Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program ABSTRACT Rowan University (RU), a four-year research institution in Glassboro, N.J., and lead institution, and Cumberland County College (CCC), a two-year community college in Vineland, N.J., have joined forces to obtain funding from the National Institutes of Health's “Bridges to the Baccalaureate” grant program. This plan to develop, launch and sustain a distinctive, multilayered research education program in Biomedical Science to increase the pool of CCC students from diverse backgrounds who receive significant research training at CCC, transfer successfully to RU and conduct higher-level research, complete baccalaureate degrees, and go on to research careers in the field. CB2R's plan is based on the assessed needs of both institutions, which seek to improve the retention and 3- and 6-year completion rates of underrepresented students in Biomedical Science; increase educational opportunities for underrepresented students and diversify RU's biomedical research student population. The program is deliberately designed to support the NIH's goals of increasing the diversity and improving the quality, perspective, and creativity of this workforce by pairing a well-regarded, highly diverse county college in an impoverished county with a robust and growing research university in a wealthier area seeking to diversify its own student body. CB2R's short- and medium-term goals are to enhance the pool of talented, low-income URM Biomedical Science students at CCC who successfully transfer to RU and complete their baccalaureate degrees. These goals are supported by the CB2R plan: · To develop and implement an intra-institutional program of high-quality, contextualized academic supports; · To design and conduct paid research activities at the community college and university to assist low-income students financially while developing their research skills; · To provide extensive advisement and mentoring at CCC and RU; · To provide articulated academic programming and customized transfer activities designed to decrease students' time to completion; greatly improve their skills preparation; and ensure their academic success and progress toward graduate programs and/or the biomedical research workforce. A terminal objective is to institutionalize the CB2R program at CCC and RU through development of a comprehensive program “template” and ongoing institutional commitments detailed in the proposal narrative and letters of commitment. Overall, the CB2R partnership between Rowan University and Cumberland County College will strive to reach the success rates achieved by the NIH's Bridges program of 70% of Bridges students transferring and 50% completing the baccalaureate. Grant request: The CB2R partnership seeks $1,414,067 over five years from the National Institutes of Health to provide a wide range of services for three distinct groups of students: 18 CB2R Fellows, 60 CB2R Scholars, and 150 CB2R Associates.
