DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The central goal of this proposal is to increase the number of well-prepared and qualified minority students interested in the biomedical sciences who transfer from Northern Virginia Community College and Blue Ridge Community College to four-year colleges in Virginia, especially JMU, and to enhance their retention through the baccalaureate degree and beyond. In order to achieve this goal, we propose to employ the following measurable objectives in the next three years: 1. To increase by 50% the number of minority students in the biomedical sciences who transfer from NVCC and BRCC to JMU 2. To increase by 50% the number of minority transfer students who graduate in the biomedical sciences at JMU 3. To develop programs to increase retention of minority students at JMUThe proposal will build on the current partnership that exists between JMU and the two community colleges. The program will include, but not limited to the following: 1. Focus on mentoring, advising and career development 2. Focus on improving knowledge and skills through summer research experiences 3. A strong commitment by institutional leaders to the success of the program demonstrated by their participation in the program 4. Workshops to improve students skills in time management, study habits and communications skills 5. Developing programs to increase retention of minority students 6. Training faculty mentors in how to mentor minority studentsThis program will include several ancillary components that are key to meeting the objectives and goal of the program. The effectiveness of the program will be evaluated on several levels including tracking, students' written and oral reports, attitudes towards scientific research and career development. While rigorous, this program will facilitate the transition from community colleges to four-year colleges and it would increase the probability of their developing into biomedical research professionals.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的中心目标是增加对生物医学科学感兴趣的准备充分且合格的少数族裔学生的数量，这些学生从北弗吉尼亚社区学院和蓝岭社区学院转学到弗吉尼亚州的四年制大学弗吉尼亚州，尤其是 JMU，并通过学士学位及以上学位来提高他们的保留率。为了实现这一目标，我们建议在未来三年内采取以下可衡量的目标： 1. 将从 NVCC 和 BRCC 转学到 JMU 的生物医学科学少数民族学生人数增加 50% 2. 增加50% 的少数族裔转学生在 JMU 生物医学科学专业毕业 3. 制定计划以提高少数族裔学生在 JMU 的保留率该提案将建立在 JMU 与 JMU 之间现有的伙伴关系的基础上两所社区学院。该计划将包括但不限于以下内容： 1. 注重指导、建议和职业发展 2. 注重通过暑期研究经验提高知识和技能 3. 机构领导者对计划成功的坚定承诺4. 举办讲习班，提高学生的时间管理技能、学习习惯和沟通技巧 5. 制定计划，提高少数族裔学生的保留率 6. 培训教师导师如何指导少数族裔学生 该计划将包括以下几个辅助部分：钥匙实现该计划的目的和目标。项目的有效性将从跟踪、学生的书面和口头报告、对科学研究和职业发展的态度等多个层面进行评估。虽然严格，但该计划将促进从社区学院向四年制大学的过渡，并将增加他们发展为生物医学研究专业人员的可能性。
