项目摘要

Summary The EMCC-MSU Bridges to Baccalaureate program is a partnership between Mississippi State University (MSU) and East Mississippi Community College (EMCC). This collaboration provides research experiences, supplementary learning activities, and career guidance for underrepresented minority (URM) and economically disadvantaged (ED) students as they work towards a baccalaureate degree in the biomedical or behavioral sciences. The primary goal of the program is to increase the numbers of students from the targeted backgrounds who successfully obtain a four-year degree in a biomedical/behavioral field. Secondary goals are to increase the number of students from this population who will seek advanced degrees in these fields and who seek employment as biomedical/behavioral researchers. The EMCC-MSU Bridges program is located in a rural region of Mississippi with large African American and impoverished populations as well as an abundance of health disparities and paucity of medical researchers. However, this regions has also recently shown promising signs for an economic recovery. Therefore, the EMCC-MSU Bridges program is in an ideal position to recruit from the URM and ED student population at EMCC early during the first year of college and encourage participation through a Biomedical Skills Boot Camp and through MSU faculty research seminars. Applicants from URM and ED backgrounds are selected on a competitive basis and immediately begin receiving supplemental career advising that will continue through their senior years along with access to online tutoring services for gateway science courses. Selected EMCC students then attend a ten-week Summer Research Experiences paid internship in a faculty-mentored research setting at MSU. The summer program includes weekly supplemental courses targeting the improvement of study skills, professionalism, communication and basic science skills. Weekly active learning workshops will also be included in the summer program at MSU along with journal club- style seminars addressing current science topics and responsible conduct in research. Paid research experiences then continue for one year after transfer to MSU for select trainees, and trainees will be encouraged to continue their research for a fourth year through one of MSU's internal funding mechanisms for undergraduate researchers or through course credit for independent study. In either case, career navigation assistance is continued until each student graduates. Yearly trainee competition in an undergraduate research symposium at MSU in encouraged and the program also supports student travel to national conferences for presenting their Bridges supported-research.

概括 EMCC-MSU BRIDGES BACCALAUTEE计划是密西西比州立大学（MSU）之间的合作伙伴关系和东密西西比州社区学院（EMCC）。这项合作提供了研究经验，补充学习活动以及代表性不足的少数民族（URM）和经济上的职业指导在生物医学或行为的学士学位上努力工作时处于不利地位（ED）学生科学。该计划的主要目标是增加目标背景的学生人数他们成功获得了生物医学/行为领域的四年制学位。次要目标是增加来自这个人群的学生人数将在这些领域寻求高级学位并寻求作为生物医学/行为研究人员就业。 EMCC-MSU Bridges计划位于农村地区密西西比州有大型非裔美国人，贫困人口以及大量健康医学研究人员的差异和匮乏。但是，该地区最近也显示了有希望的迹象进行经济复苏。因此，EMCC-MSU Bridges计划具有从 URM和ED学生人数在大学第一年的早期，并鼓励参与通过生物医学技能训练营和MSU教师研究研讨会。来自URM的申请人 ED背景是在竞争的基础上选择的，并立即开始接受补充职业建议将继续他们的高年级，并访问Gateway的在线补习服务科学课程。选定的EMCC学生然后参加为期十周的夏季研究经验在MSU的教职员工研究环境中实习。夏季计划包括每周补充针对提高学习技能，专业，沟通和基本科学技能的课程。每周活跃的学习研讨会也将与日记俱乐部一起参加MSU的夏季计划 - 风格研讨会，涉及当前的科学主题和负责任的研究。有偿研究经验然后在转移到密西西比州的某些学员后持续一年，并鼓励受训者通过MSU的内部资助机制之一，继续研究第四年研究人员或通过课程学分进行独立研究。无论哪种情况，职业导航协助是一直持续到每个学生毕业。在本科研究研讨会上的年度学员竞赛 MSU鼓励，该计划还支持学生前往国家会议的旅行桥梁支持研究。
