项目摘要

Project Abstract This Proposal is a competing continuation application for the existing Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program (GM065096) at Queensborough Community College (QCC). The partnership between QCC, Queens College and City College, three units of the City University of New York, will be maintained and strengthened to achieve the long term goals of improving QCC’s ability to train and graduate under-represented (UR) science students, and to facilitate their transfer to baccalaureate programs in biomedicine or behavioral science. The proposed program will impact on both Bridges and non-Bridges students. The Bridges students will conduct research under the supervision of experienced biology, chemistry, physics, math and behavioral science faculty mentors. These research mentors will serve as role models and provide students with encouragement, career advisement and visibility within the academic community. Scientific communication skills will be explicitly taught, and each student will give an oral presentation and submit a written report at the program wide seminar. A comprehensive system of academic and psychosocial support will be provided to participants. Transfer counseling and early interaction with the senior colleges will ease transition to baccalaureate programs. Institutional UR outcomes will be improved through enhanced academic planning, curricula development, updated technology in teaching labs, faculty development, and the introduction of peer mentoring. Enrichment Workshops will be provided to students in General Biology I and Pre-Calculus to help them get beyond the “gateway” to careers in biomedicine. The Gateway to Research workshops will help increase self-efficacy and eliminate student misconceptions about research. In addition, students will continue to learn of the excitement and significance of biomedical research through the Bridges Research Seminars. The project’s goals are closely aligned with those of the NIH and will serve to increase the number of URM students in the biomedical/behavioral science pathway, a key factor in reducing health disparities.

项目摘要该提案是现有桥梁的竞争延续申请昆斯伯勒社区学院（QCC）的学士学位计划（GM065096）。这 QCC，皇后学院和城市学院之间的合作伙伴关系，城市大学的三个单元将维持和加强纽约，以实现改进的长期目标 QCC培训和毕业的能力不足（UR）科学专业的学生，并促进它们转移到生物医学或行为科学领域的学士学位计划。拟议的计划将影响桥梁和非桥梁学生。桥梁学生将在经验丰富的生物学，化学的监督下进行研究物理，数学和行为科学教师导师。这些研究导师将成为榜样，并为学生提供鼓励，职业建议和知名度学术界。科学沟通技巧将被明确教授学生将提供口头介绍，并在计划范围的SEMIAR上提交书面报告。一个将向参与者提供全面的学术和社会心理支持系统。转移咨询和与高级学院的早期互动将使过渡到学士学位计划。通过增强的学术计划，将改善您的成果课程开发，教学实验室的最新技术，教师发展和引入同伴心理。将向学生提供丰富的研讨会一般生物学I和前阵容前，帮助他们超越了职业的“门户” 生物医学。研究研讨会的门户将有助于提高自我效能感并消除学生对研究的误解。此外，学生将继续了解通过桥梁研究研讨会的生物医学研究的兴奋和意义。项目的目标与NIH的目标密切相符，并将有助于增加生物医学/行为科学途径的URM学生，这是降低健康的关键因素差异。
