DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aims of the proposed project are to increase the entrance, retention, and graduation of underrepresented undergraduates majoring in biology and molecular biology through associate and baccalaureate courses of study. These aims will be achieved through an active and continuous collaboration between Essex County College (ECC), NJ, which offers the Associate's Degree, and Montclair State University (MSU), NJ, which offers Baccalaureate and Master's Degrees. Our objectives will be accomplished through: (1) early identification and recruitment of talented students in biological or chemical sciences at ECC; (2) expansion of ECC student interest and understanding through interaction with research faculty and students from MSU. This will occur through joint-institutional collaborative research during the first two years at ECC and second two years at MSU and also through reciprocal faculty seminar presentations at both institutions; (3) A research-oriented curriculum at both ECC and MSU to foster interest in and prepare students for graduate and professional opportunities in the biomedical sciences; (4) Preparation for baccalaureate studies through a joint ECC-MSU curriculum that hones communication and analytical skills and scientific reasoning; (5) A collaborative mentoring relationship between faculty and students from both institutions to facilitate the transition from a community college setting to a university academic environment; (6) Articulated admission of these well-prepared ECC students into the baccalaureate program at MSU; (7) Development of a specific articulation agreement between the Division of Biology and Chemistry at ECC and the Department of Biology and Molecular Biology at MSU. The central mechanism of the proposed program will be to recruit and prepare talented A.S.-track students at ECC for subsequent entrance and success in the B.S. program at MSU. This mechanism would also potentially facilitate a seamless transition from A.S. to B.S. to M.S. and/or Ph.D. because MSU presently has in place a number of articulation agreements with regional medical and graduate schools, and has held a Bridges to the Ph.D. program with the Newark division of University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) Graduate School Hence we have entitled the present project "Bridging the Associate, Baccalaureate, and Beyond" (BABB). The BABB program will consist of associate-level work and undergraduate research the experiences for the first two undergraduate years at ECC followed by curriculum in the third and fourth years at MSU specifically designed to foster a comprehensive and realistic peer research community experience.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议项目的目的是 增加代表性不足的入口，保留和毕业 通过助理和 学士学位课程。这些目标将通过积极的 以及新泽西州埃塞克斯郡学院（ECC）之间的持续合作， 提供副学士学位和新泽西州MSU蒙特克莱州立大学（MSU） 提供学士学位和硕士学位。我们的目标将实现 通过：（1）早期认同和招募才华横溢的学生 ECC的生物学或化学科学； （2）扩大ECC学生兴趣 以及通过与研究教师和来自的学生互动的理解 MSU。这将通过联合机构合作研究发生 在ECC的头两年，在MSU和MSU的第二年以及通过 两个机构的互惠教师研讨会演讲； （3）a ECC和MSU的面向研究的课程，以促进对和 为学生准备生物医学的研究生和专业机会 科学； （4）通过关节ECC-MSU准备学士学位研究 授权沟通和分析技能和科学的课程 推理; （5）教师与 来自两个机构的学生可以促进社区的过渡 大学的学术环境； （6）铰接式入院 这些精心准备的ECC学生进入了MSU的学士学位课程； （7） 制定特定的表达协议 ECC的生物学与化学以及生物学和分子系 MSU的生物学。 拟议计划的中心机制将是招募和准备 ECC的才华横溢的A.S.-Track学生随后入学和成功 B.S. MSU的程序。这种机制也可能有助于 从A.S.无缝过渡致力到M.S.和/或Ph.D.因为MSU 目前已与区域签订了许多发音协议 医学和研究生院，并拥有博士学位的桥梁。程序 新泽西大学纽瓦克大学纽瓦克分部 （umdnj）研究生院，因此我们有权“桥接” 合伙人，学士学位和超越“（BABB）”。 BABB计划将包括副工作和本科生 随后研究ECC的前两个本科生的经验 在MSU的第三年和第四年，专为专门设计的课程 培养全面，现实的同伴研究社区经验。
