DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to continue the success of the SDSU Bridges program by increasing the number of underrepresented minority biological sciences majors at three local community colleges who will transfer to SDSU to pursue careers in biomedical research. SDSU wishes to continue its successful partnership with San Diego City College, Grossmont College and Southwestern College in which 75% of Bridges students have transferred or are preparing to transfer to four year universities. During the past three years, Bridges students who transferred to SDSU have participated in research programs at the NIH, Scripps Research Institute, and other major research sites. Students have published papers in peer reviewed papers, presented their research at national meetings, graduated, and entered postgraduate studies. The goal of the SDSU Bridges program is to train 24 students a year from the three partnering colleges to complete their bachelors degree training, despite significantly raised GPA requirements for transfer and entry into the biology major imposed at SDSU. The outcome of the program will be to produce three additional cohorts of highly competent students who will transfer to SDSU, and have a 90% retention rate in their baccalaureate degree programs. The Bridges Program has helped students achieve the program goal through enrichment courses in laboratory skills, research ethics, biomedical research techniques, technical writing, chemistry, calculus, and a colloquium addressing minority health care disparities. These enrichment activities have been scaled up to meet heightened transfer admissions standards at SDSU. Continued "bridging" of students occurs after students transfer to SDSU, through the College's NIH MARC and MBRS programs, the McNair Scholars and Student Support Services Programs, and the NSF Minority Science Programs, all targeting underrepresented science majors. The progress of Bridges students is tracked from program entry through transfer to SDSU and matriculation to graduate school.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一项提案，旨在通过增加三所当地社区学院代表性不足的少数族裔生物科学专业学生的数量来继续 SDSU 桥梁计划的成功，这些学生将转学到 SDSU 从事生物医学研究职业。 SDSU 希望继续与圣地亚哥城市学院、格罗斯蒙特学院和西南学院建立成功的合作伙伴关系，其中 75% 的 Bridges 学生已经转入或正准备转入四年制大学。在过去的三年里，转学到圣地亚哥州立大学的布里奇斯学生参加了美国国立卫生研究院、斯克里普斯研究所和其他主要研究机构的研究项目。学生在同行评审论文中发表论文，在全国会议上展示他们的研究成果，毕业并进入研究生学习。尽管 SDSU 对转学和进入生物学专业的 GPA 要求大幅提高，但 SDSU 桥梁项目的目标是每年培训来自三个合作学院的 24 名学生完成学士学位培训。该计划的结果将是产生另外三批 将转学到 SDSU 的高素质学生，其学士学位课程的保留率高达 90%。桥梁计划通过实验室技能、研究伦理、生物医学研究技术、技术写作、化学、微积分和解决少数族裔医疗保健差异的研讨会等强化课程，帮助学生实现计划目标。这些丰富活动已扩大规模，以满足 SDSU 更高的转学录取标准。学生转入 SDSU 后，通过学院的 NIH MARC 和 MBRS 项目、麦克奈尔学者和学生支持服务项目以及 NSF 少数科学项目，学生之间的联系不断发生，所有这些项目都针对代表性不足的科学专业。 Bridges 学生的进步从课程入学到转学到 SDSU 以及入学到研究生院进行跟踪。
