DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The University of California, Irvine (UCI) is a top research institution that has gained national recognition for its Minority Science Programs (MSP) at the School of Biological Sciences. MSP has established a network of committed faculty and resource programs to facilitate the transition from community college to Baccalaureate, Master's and PhD careers in biomedical research. Working with three partner community colleges (Fullerton College, Orange Coast College, and Santa Ana College) the aim of the Orange County Bridge to Biomedical Research (OCBBR) is to increase the number of underrepresented minority students entering and completing a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science and ultimately pursuing careers as research Scientists. In the four years of operation, we have developed a model program in which 70 students have participated. Fifty one (73%) of these students have transferred to four-year universities, 18 (26%) are still attending their respective community college, while only one student graduated from their community college with a nursing degree and decided to seek employment in a hospital environment. Of the students who transferred to four-year institutions, 31(61%) transferred to universities within the University of California system. The program has provided the participants with training in biomedical science research through its workshops and paid internships with UC professors to facilitate the transition of students from associate- to baccalaureate-degree granting institutions. OCBBR will (1) provide paid research apprenticeships at UCI that motivate students to continue their studies, strengthen their scientific academic performance, and enable OCBBR participants to establish mentor/peer relationships with UCI students and professors, (2) offer seminars, many of which cover aspects of health disparities in the US, and workshops at UCI and the community colleges that strengthen students' research and academic performance and familiarize them with different types of research conducted at UCI and career opportunities in various research fields, (3) monitor students' academic progress at the community colleges and motivate them to excel and (4) assist students in all aspects of the transfer process to ensure that they are able to transfer to the university of their choice.

描述（由申请人提供）：加利福尼亚大学尔湾分校（UCI）是一家顶级研究机构，在生物科学学院的少数民族科学计划（MSP）获得了国家认可。 MSP已经建立了一个有坚定的教师和资源计划网络，以促进从社区学院到学士学位，硕士和博士生生物医学研究的过渡。与三所合作伙伴社区学院（富勒顿学院，奥兰治海岸学院和圣安娜学院）合作，奥兰治县桥梁生物医学研究（OCBBR）的目的是增加代表性不足的少数族裔学生的数量，并获得了生物医学科学的学士学位，并最终攻读了职业学士学位。 在运营的四年中，我们制定了一个模型计划，其中有70名学生参加了该计划。这些学生中有五十一（73％）已转到四年制大学，18名（26％）仍在上各自的社区大学，而只有一名学生从其社区学院毕业，并决定在医院环境中寻求就业。在转移到四年制机构的学生中，有31名（61％）转移到了加利福尼亚大学系统内的大学。该计划通过其研讨会为参与者提供了生物医学科学研究的培训，并与UC教授进行了实习，以促进学生从助理到学士学位授予机构的过渡。 OCBBR将（1）在UCI提供有偿研究学院制，激励学生继续学习，增强他们的科学学业表现，并使OCBBR参与者与UCI学生和教授建立导师/同伴的关系，（2）提供了研讨会，提供了许多涵盖UCI和熟悉的学生的研究范围的研究，以增强UCI的研究，以增强UCI的范围，并加强了UCI的研究，并增强了UCI的范围，并加强了UCI的范围，并加强了UCI的研究，并加强了UCI的研究，并涵盖了UCI的研究，并涵盖了UCI的研究，并涵盖了UCI的研究范围。 （3）在各个研究领域的UCI和职业机会，监测学生在社区大学的学术进步，并激励他们表现出色，（4）协助学生在转学过程的各个方面帮助学生，以确保他们能够转移到自己选择的大学。
