DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Daytona Beach Community College (DBCC), in collaboration with Bethune-Cookman College, University of Central Florida, Florida A&M University, Whitney Laboratory of the University of Florida, and Stetson University, proposes to give basic training in biomedical research at the community college level for underrepresented minority students and, upon graduation, bridge them to a baccalaureate institution. The goal of the program is to increase the number of minorities who graduate with a science degree and pursue a biomedical career. To achieve this goal, DBCC will recruit 20 minority students each year for 3 years. Student retention strategies include, but are not limited to, academic advising, counseling and tutoring. Bridge students will take a Bridge-specific Research Methods course and will work on research projects at DBCC. The students will also gain experience by working in the teaching laboratories as laboratory assistants. Research faculty from the partner institutions will give guest lectures in the Bridge-specific Research Methods Course. During summer, each Bridge student will be paired with a research preceptor from one of the five partner institutions to do research in the laboratory for 10 weeks. Students will present their research work at regional and national scientific meetings. The Bridge program at DBCC will also establish and host an internet server for the use of Bridge students all across the nation. This site will be used by Bridge students to network among themselves, discuss their research programs with their peers, and to learn about other institutions, especially the four-year colleges or universities where they would like to pursue their higher education. Other activities that will promote an interest and knowledge in science include Science Expo at DBCC where students will present their research work to faculty and students from other area colleges, and the Science Colloquia, a forum of discussion of scientific papers, books on scientific discoveries, and biographies of scientists to promote interest in the sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：代托纳比奇社区学院 (DBCC) 与 Bethune-Cookman 学院、中佛罗里达大学、佛罗里达 A&M 大学、佛罗里达大学惠特尼实验室和斯泰森大学合作，提议提供以下基础培训：在社区大学一级为代表性不足的少数族裔学生进行生物医学研究，并在毕业后帮助他们升入学士学位机构。该计划的目标是增加获得科学学位并从事生物医学职业的少数族裔人数。为了实现这一目标，DBCC将在3年内每年招收20名少数民族学生。学生保留策略包括但不限于学术建议、咨询和辅导。 Bridge 学生将学习 Bridge 特定研究方法课程，并在 DBCC 从事研究项目。学生还将通过在教学实验室担任实验室助理来获得经验。合作机构的研究人员将在桥梁特定研究方法课程中进行客座讲座。夏季期间，每位 Bridge 学生将与来自五个合作机构之一的研究导师配对，在实验室进行为期 10 周的研究。学生将在地区和国家科学会议上展示他们的研究工作。 DBCC 的桥梁课程也将 建立并托管一个互联网服务器，供全国各地的桥梁学生使用。桥梁学生将使用该网站相互联系，与同龄人讨论他们的研究项目，并了解其他机构，特别是他们想要接受高等教育的四年制学院或大学。其他促进科学兴趣和知识的活动包括 DBCC 的科学博览会，学生将向其他地区学院的教师和学生展示他们的研究工作，以及科学座谈会，这是一个讨论科学论文、有关科学发现的书籍的论坛，和科学家传记，以提高人们对科学的兴趣。
