项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract The Minority Science Programs (MSP) at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) are nationally recognized for developing innovative programs to improve the academic excellence and increase the number of underrepresented (UR) community college (CC) and UCI undergraduates being trained as the next generation of biomedical researchers. The objective of the Orange County Bridges to Baccalaureate is to jointly develop a research education program with Orange Coast College (OCC) that will increase the number and academic excellence of UR CC students that transfer to science majors at four-year universities, obtain baccalaureate degrees, and pursue Ph.D. degrees and biomedical research careers. We propose to increase participants’ interest, motivation and academic preparedness by developing cohorts of UR students enrolled in the first biology transferable class offered at OCC to instill a sense of belonging to a collegial scientific community, receive extra tutoring and prepare participants for introductory biomedical research experiences at UCI. Participants begin research training as early as freshmen year, and they are expected to transfer and become competitive applicants for junior-level undergraduate training positions in the university laboratories. Main program components to mentor, motivate and prepare trainees are the integration of courses for skills development, research experiences and curriculum development. Skills development encompasses 1) training in critical reading, writing and reasoning, 2) a course on advanced laboratory methods, genomics and data analysis, 3) training in responsible conduct of research, 4) a research faculty seminar series to introduce participants to diverse areas of biomedical research, 5) a journal club to discuss primary literature, 6) progress report sessions to improve presentation skills, and 7) oral and poster presentations at local and national conferences. Over 40 UCI faculty with experience training underrepresented students serve as research mentors. Research experiences focus on preparing participants to become independent thinkers. Bridges participants experience the excitement of generating new knowledge in the course of conducting original research. Faculty focus groups serve to improve inter-institutional articulation in science courses and preparation of students by discussing curricular sequence, normalization of curricula between institutions, use of technology in the classroom, assessment and instructional strategies that inculcate an interest in the pursuit of advanced scientific studies.

项目概要/摘要加州大学欧文分校 (UCI) 的少数民族科学项目 (MSP) 获得全国认可制定创新计划以提高学术成就并增加学生数量代表性不足 (UR) 社区学院 (CC) 和 UCI 本科生正在接受下一代培训奥兰治县学士学位桥梁项目的目标是共同开发一个与奥兰治海岸学院 (OCC) 合作的研究教育计划将增加学生的数量和学术水平 UR CC 学生转入四年制大学理科专业并获得学士学位的卓越表现我们建议增加参与者的学位，并攻读博士学位和生物医学研究职业。通过培养第一届入学的 UR 学生群体来培养兴趣、动力和学术准备 OCC 提供的生物学可转移课程旨在灌输对大学科学界的归属感，接受额外的辅导，并为参与者在 UCI 的生物医学研究入门经验做好准备。参与者早在大一就开始研究培训，他们预计将转学并成为大学实验室初级本科培训职位的竞争性申请者。指导、激励和准备受训者的计划组成部分是技能课程的整合发展、研究经验和课程开发包括 1) 培训。批判性阅读、写作和推理，2）高级实验室方法、基因组学和数据课程分析，3）负责任的研究行为培训，4）研究人员研讨会系列介绍生物医学研究不同领域的参与者，5) 讨论原始文献的期刊俱乐部，6) 进展提高演讲技巧的报告会议，以及 7) 在地方和国家的口头和海报演讲超过 40 名具有培训代表性不足学生经验的 UCI 教师担任研究人员。研究经验的重点是让参与者成为独立的思考者。参与者在进行原创的过程中体验产生新知识的兴奋教师焦点小组致力于提高科学课程和机构间的衔接。通过讨论课程顺序、机构间课程标准化、使用来为学生做好准备课堂上的技术、评估和教学策略，培养人们对追求的兴趣的先进科学研究。
