项目摘要

With a student population exceeding 37,000, El Paso Community College (EPCC) is the largest Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) located on the US-Mexico Border and the largest grantor of Associate degrees to Hispanic students in the Nation. An average of 7114 students enroll in Biology courses, 2610 in Chemistry courses, and 7565 in Psychology courses per year. EPCC's student population closely mirrors the demographics of the region (88% URM, 85% Hispanic), and the students are already interested in health issues and disparities that affect the US-Mexico border region. EPCC has pioneered strategies to get students interested in biomedical research and entering the Ph.D. pipeline. EPCC was the first community college to be funded by the RISE program. To date 159 EPCC RISE students have transferred to a university and 90 graduated with baccalaureate degrees in biomedical sciences, 17 with master's degrees, 12 with doctoral degrees, 20 are in graduate school, 4 have College/University faculty positions. The proposed Rise to the Challenge Bridge program will keep the momentum generated by the RISE Program, capitalize on the experience gained by this young institution in its efforts to prepare students for biomedical research careers, and increase the number of EPCC students transferring to the university and graduating with a baccalaureate degree. The goals of the proposed RISE to the Challenge Bridge between EPCC, UTEP and NMSU are 1) to continue providing talented EPCC students with the tools to succeed and excel in their freshman and sophomore-level biology, chemistry and math courses, 2) to continue strengthening the research knowledge and skills of EPCC students and faculty and 3) to increase the number of minority and disadvantaged students that transfer to a four-year institution with the skills necessary to graduate with a baccalaureate degree and eventually a Ph.D in biomedical fields. Our goal is that the proposed Bridge program's interventions will increase the 89% transfer rate and 57% BS graduation rate achieved by the RISE program to date, to a 95% transfer rate and 65% graduation rate The specific aims are: 1) to enhance and enrich the EPCC Biology, Chemistry and Math curriculum with proven interventions including Supplemental Instruction (SI) combined with the benefits of authentic research experiences through Course Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs), using a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach, 2) to provide year-round meaningful research experiences for 12 EPCC students working with teams of faculty from EPCC, UTEP and NMSU 3) to maintain our excellent track record of students presenting at national professional meetings, 4) to create a seamless pathway to the baccalaureate degree through EPCC's Pathways for Student Success initiative, and 5) to strengthen the biomedical science learning community and support networks established through EPCC's RISE program.

埃尔帕索社区学院 (EPCC) 拥有超过 37,000 名学生，是最大的西班牙裔服务机构 (HSI) 位于美墨边境，是最大的资助者为全国的西班牙裔学生提供副学士学位。平均有 7114 名学生就读生物学其中化学课程每年 2610 门，心理学课程每年 7565 门。 EPCC 学生人数密切反映了该地区的人口统计数据（88% URM，85% 西班牙裔），而且学生们已经对影响美墨边境地区的健康问题和差异感兴趣。 EPCC 率先让学生对生物医学研究感兴趣并进入博士学位的策略管道。 EPCC 是第一所由 RISE 计划资助的社区学院。迄今为止，已有 159 名 EPCC RISE 学生转入大学，90 人获得生物医学学士学位，其中 17 人获得生物医学学士学位硕士学位，12 名博士学位，20 名研究生，4 名学院/大学教师职位。拟议的“挑战桥梁”计划将保持以下势头 RISE 计划，利用这个年轻机构在努力准备方面获得的经验学生从事生物医学研究职业，并增加转入 EPCC 学生的数量大学并获得学士学位。拟议的 RISE 到 EPCC、UTEP 和 NMSU 之间的挑战桥的目标是 1) 继续为有才华的 EPCC 学生提供在新生和大二水平的生物、化学和数学课程，2）继续强化研究知识 EPCC 学生和教师的技能和技能，以及 3) 增加少数族裔和弱势群体的数量转学到四年制院校并具备学士学位毕业所需技能的学生学位并最终获得生物医学领域的博士学位。我们的目标是拟议的桥梁计划干预措施将使 RISE 计划实现的 89% 转学率和 57% BS 毕业率提高迄今为止，转学率达到 95%，毕业率达到 65% 具体目标是： 1) 加强和丰富 EPCC 生物、化学和数学课程包括补充指导（SI）在内的经过验证的干预措施与真实的好处相结合通过基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURE）获得研究经验，使用多学科、协作方法，2) 为 12 名学生提供全年有意义的研究经验 EPCC 学生与 EPCC、UTEP 和 NMSU 的教师团队合作 3) 以保持我们的优秀学生在全国专业会议上发表演讲的记录，4) 打造通向通过 EPCC 的“学生成功之路”倡议获得学士学位，以及 5) 加强通过 EPCC 的 RISE 计划建立的生物医学科学学习社区和支持网络。
