DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Central Illinois Bridge Program is to provide academic, logistic and social support for talented students who are underrepresented, in order to encourage them to complete baccalaureate degrees in biomedical sciences. The following objectives will guide the project's planning, implementation, and evaluation strategies: 1. Strengthen partnerships between the community colleges and university related to the targeted program areas by implementing three first-year/sophomore courses at 3 community colleges that are currently are not offered and by growing demand for those courses to 30 students per year so that they are self-sustaining. 2. Recruit, select, and support talented students from underrepresented groups in biology and chemistry by increasing choice of biology and chemistry majors by under-represented students from 75 to 110 within 3 years, and by increasing enrollment in biology, chemistry, and mathematics courses at local CC's by 33% from 75 to 100 at TC and by 40% from 40 to 56 at ICC and IVCC for students from under- represented groups. 3. Expand the professional, development opportunities for project students by increasing attendance by minority students at professional meetings from partner CC's and ISU from 5 per year to 50 per year, and by increasing oral and poster presentations by minority students at professional meetings from 5 per year to 25 per year. 4. Improve retention for under-represented students in biology, chemistry and mathematics by increasing junior/senior minority enrollment at ISU in biology and chemistry from 30 to 65 within three years, and by increasing junior/senior minority enrollment of former ICC, IVCC and TC students by 20 to 35 at any 4-year college. 5. Increase the number of under-represented students who enter graduate or professional schools in the biomedical sciences by increasing applications to graduate or professional schools by minority students by 100% from 30 to 60 within three years, and by increasing enrollment from ISU minority students at graduate or professional schools from 20 to 40 within three years.

描述（由申请人提供）：伊利诺伊州中部桥梁项目的目标是为代表性不足的有才华的学生提供学术、后勤和社会支持，以鼓励他们完成生物医学科学学士学位。以下目标将指导项目的规划、实施和评估策略： 1. 通过在目前尚未开设的 3 所社区学院开设三门一年级/二年级课程，加强与目标项目领域相关的社区学院和大学之间的伙伴关系并将这些课程的需求增加到每年 30 名学生，以便这些课程能够自我维持。 2. 在三年内将代表性不足的学生对生物和化学专业的选择从 75 人增加到 110 人，并增加生物、化学和数学课程的入学人数，从生物和化学领域招募、选拔和支持才华横溢的学生对于来自代表性不足群体的学生，当地 CC 的 TC 学生人数从 75 人减少到 100 人，减少了 33%；ICC 和 IVCC 的学生人数从 40 人减少到 56 人，减少了 40%。 3. 通过以下方式扩大项目学生的专业发展机会 将少数族裔学生参加合作伙伴 CC 和 ISU 的专业会议的人数从每年 5 次增加到每年 50 次，并将少数族裔学生在专业会议上的口头和海报展示从每年 5 次增加到每年 25 次。 4. 在三年内将 ISU 生物和化学专业低年级/高年级少数族裔入学人数从 30 人增加到 65 人，以及增加前 ICC、IVCC 和任何四年制大学的 TC 学生人数为 20 至 35 人。 5. 三年内将少数族裔学生申请研究生或专业学校的人数从 30 人增加到 60 人，增加 100%，并增加 ISU 少数族裔学生的入学人数，从而增加进入生物医学科学研究生或专业学校的代表性不足的学生人数三年内从 20 岁到 40 岁就读研究生或专业学校。
