DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, Irvine (UCI) is a research institution that has gained national recognition for its Minority Science Programs (MSP) at the School of Biological Sciences. Working with four partner community colleges (Fullerton College, Mount San Antonio, 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 (URM) students entering and completing a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences and ultimately pursuing careers as research scientists. Since 1997, 123 OCBBR participants have received research training at UCI and 102 (83%) have transferred to four year universities. Of the students who transferred to 4-year institutions, 91 (74%) transferred to universities within the University of California system. OCBBR participants have been authors or co-authors of 17 papers published in peer-reviewed journals. OCBBR participants have received 7 student research awards at national conferences (AAAS, SACNAS and ABRCMS). We propose to continue the successful elements of the first seven years of operation and add new elements. OCBBR components include, 1) informational outreach to interest students at partner community colleges about opportunities and educational paths to pursue careers in biomedical research, 2) academic preparation of OCBBR participants by tutoring at partner community colleges and summer classes offered at UCI, 3) structured paid research training at UCI to enable OCBBR participants to establish mentor and peer relationships with UCI faculty and students and 4) the development of inter-institutional faculty focus groups to discuss curricular articulation and pedagogical innovations. Research training elements include 1) a faculty seminar series, 2) a journal club to introduce scholars to critical reading of current biomedical literature, 3) a two-week intensive workshop on principles, instrumentation and techniques used in biomedical research, 4) research conducted under the direction of UCI faculty mentors, 5) preparation of papers, oral presentations and posters, to be presented at local and national conferences

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学欧文分校 (UCI) 是一所研究机构，其生物科学学院的少数派科学项目 (MSP) 获得了国家认可。奥兰治县生物医学研究之桥 (OCBBR) 与四所合作伙伴社区学院（富勒顿学院、圣安东尼奥山学院、奥兰治海岸学院和圣安娜学院）合作，其目标是增加入学和就读的少数族裔 (URM) 学生的数量。完成生物医学科学学士学位并最终从事研究科学家的职业生涯。自 1997 年以来，已有 123 名 OCBBR 参与者在 UCI 接受研究培训，其中 102 名 (83%) 已转入四年制大学。在转入四年制院校的学生中，91 人（74%）转入加州大学系统内的大学。 OCBBR 参与者是在同行评审期刊上发表的 17 篇论文的作者或共同作者。 OCBBR 参与者已在国家会议（AAAS、SACNAS 和 ABRCMS）上获得了 7 项学生研究奖。 我们建议继续前七年运营的成功要素并添加新要素。 OCBBR 的组成部分包括：1) 向合作伙伴社区学院感兴趣的学生提供有关从事生物医学研究职业的机会和教育途径的信息外展，2) 通过在合作伙伴社区学院辅导和 UCI 提供的暑期课程为 OCBBR 参与者进行学术准备，3) 结构化在 UCI 进行付费研究培训，使 OCBBR 参与者能够与 UCI 教师和学生建立导师和同伴关系，4) 发展机构间教师焦点小组，讨论课程衔接和教学创新。研究培训内容包括 1) 教师研讨会系列，2) 期刊俱乐部，向学者介绍当前生物医学文献的批判性阅读，3) 为期两周的关于生物医学研究中使用的原理、仪器和技术的强化研讨会，4) 进行的研究在 UCI 教师导师的指导下，5) 准备论文、口头报告和海报，以在地方和国家会议上展示
