This proposal has the following specific objectives: (l) To facilitate the transfer of minority students from the Community College of Southern Nevada to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas; (2) to encourage minority students to undertake careers in the biomedical sciences; (3) to increase the likelihood of those students succeeding in the biomedical sciences. The CCSN/UNLV bridging program has three major strategies: (1) Joint advising center: A minority science student advisor would be recruited to serve jointly at both institutions. This individual would coordinate minority science student and pre-health professional advising at both institutions. This person would also be part of the CCSN/UNLV articulation and transfer center. This person would facilitate the transfer of information and students between campuses and thus catalyze the migration of minorities toward UNLV and toward careers in the biomedical sciences. (2) Joint minority science student program: Through a biomedical awareness program, students of CCSN would be exposed to career choices within the biomedical sciences. This program would include tours of four regional medical centers for CCSN and UNLV students, monthly meetings/ discussions by upperclass students from the UNLV Association of Pre- Health Professionals, and tutoring for CCSN students by members of the UNLV Minority Science Student Program. Monthly meetings and tutoring will provide exposure to biomedical careers, a mechanism for improving the academic performance of CCSN students, and role models for those students. (3) A "faculty bridge": Selected faculty from CCSN and UNLV would develop a study skills/time management course for transfer students as well as develop a monthly seminar series on biomedical topics to be held at CCSN. In addition, summer research experiences would be offered to CCSN students and faculty in the laboratories of biomedical research scientists of UNLV. In this manner the faculty of CCSN and UNLV would become active participants in this effort to bridge the campuses.

该建议具有以下具体目标：（l）促进 从南方社区学院转移少数族裔学生 内华达州内华达大学拉斯维加斯大学； （2）鼓励少数 学生从事生物医学科学的职业； （3）增加 这些学生成功地进入生物医学科学的可能性。 CCSN/UNLV桥接计划有三种主要策略： （1）联合咨询中心：少数族裔科学顾问将是 招募在两个机构共同服务。 这个人会 协调少数民族科学专业的学生和健康专业专业的建议 在两个机构。 此人也将成为CCSN/UNLV的一部分 发音和转移中心。这个人将促进 在校园之间转移信息和学生，从而催化 少数民族向UNLV和向职业迁移 生物医学科学。 （2）联合少数民族科学学生计划：通过生物医学 意识计划，CCSN的学生将接受职业选择 在生物医学科学中。 该计划将包括四个旅行 CCSN和UNLV学生的区域医疗中心，每月会议/ UNLV Pre-tre-tre-upperclass学生的讨论 卫生专业人员，并为CCSN学生辅导 UNV少数族裔学生计划。 每月会议和辅导 将提供对生物医学职业的接触，这是一种改善的机制 CCSN学生的学业表现，以及那些人的榜样 学生。 （3）“教职桥”：CCSN和UNLV的选拔教师将发展 转学学生的学习技能/时间管理课程以及 开发每月在CCSN举行的有关生物医学主题的研讨会系列。 此外，夏季研究经验将提供给CCSN 生物医学研究实验室的学生和教师 UNLV科学家。通过这种方式，CCSN和UNLV的教师将 积极参与这项努力弥合校园的努力。
