DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Building Bioengineering Bridges (B3) will work with underrepresented minority students from Seattle Community College as they transition to baccalaureate degree programs at the University of Washington (UW) and other four-year universities. The B3 program will focus on how bioengineering and biotechnology can be used to solve global health problems. The B3 program will provide both academic opportunities and mentored research experiences for students and will include workshops and seminars to provide students will experience giving scientific presentations. The program will provide students with the background and experiences necessary to successfully transition from their community college to four-year universities. Through this effort, the partnering institutions will provide a source of outstanding URM students' interested biomedical research to a variety of departments within the UW and other universities. The B3 program will involve 10-20 African American, Hispanic American, Native American, and/or Natives of the US Pacific Islands students who are currently enrolled at Seattle Central Community College (SCCC). These students will enroll in a new course "Biotechnology & World Health." Students will also attend workshops and seminars presentations to gain experience presenting scientific research to various audiences. These experiences will provide students with the skills necessary to give scientific poster and oral presentations and to write for technical journals. A cohort of students who complete this course will be offered mentored-laboratory experiences within laboratories in the Department of Bioengineering, Material Sciences or other departments at the UW. Students who participate in the mentored laboratory program will present their work with other undergraduate students enrolled in other UW programs during a summer research symposium. We expect that in five years: a) the overall institutional transfer rate of students from targeted groups/populations from the participating associate degree-granting institution(s) to baccalaureate degree programs in biomedical/behavioral sciences will increase by 50%; b) at least 70% of the Bridges students, upon or before graduation from the associate degree program, will transfer to baccalaureate degree programs in biomedical/behavioral sciences; and c) at least 75% of the transferring Bridges students will successfully complete their bachelor's degrees in biomedical/behavioral sciences. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Building Bioengineering Bridges (B3) will work with underrepresented minority students from Seattle Community College as they transition to baccalaureate degree programs at the University of Washington (UW) and other four-year universities. The B3 program will focus on how bioengineering and biotechnology can be used to solve global health problems. The B3 program will provide both academic opportunities and mentored research experiences for students and will include workshops and seminars to provide students will experience giving scientific presentations. The program will provide students with the background and experiences necessary to successfully transition from their community college to four-year universities. Through this effort, the partnering institutions will provide a source of outstanding URM students interested biomedical research to a variety of departments within the UW and other universities.

描述（由申请人提供）：“构建生物工程桥梁”(B3) 将与西雅图社区学院的少数族裔学生合作，帮助他们过渡到华盛顿大学 (UW) 和其他四年制大学的学士学位课程。 B3计划将重点关注如何利用生物工程和生物技术来解决全球健康问题。 B3 项目将为学生提供学术机会和指导研究经验，并将包括讲习班和研讨会，为学生提供科学演示的体验。该计划将为学生提供从社​​区学院成功过渡到四年制大学所需的背景和经验。通过这一努力，合作机构将为华盛顿大学和其他大学的各个院系提供优秀的URM学生感兴趣的生物医学研究的来源。 B3 项目将涉及目前就读于西雅图中央社区学院 (SCCC) 的 10-20 名非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民和/或美国太平洋岛屿原住民学生。这些学生将报名参加新课程“生物技术与世界健康”。学生还将参加讲习班和研讨会演示，以获得向不同受众展示科学研究的经验。这些经验将为学生提供进行科学海报和口头演讲以及为技术期刊写作所需的技能。完成本课程的一批学生将在华盛顿大学生物工程系、材料科学系或其他系的实验室中获得指导实验室经验。参加指导实验室项目的学生将在夏季研究研讨会上与就读华盛顿大学其他项目的其他本科生一起展示他们的作品。我们预计五年内： a) 目标群体/人群的学生从参与的副学士学位授予机构转入生物医学/行为科学学士学位课程的总体转学率将增加 50%； b) 至少 70% 的 Bridges 学生在副学士学位课程毕业后或之前将转入生物医学/行为科学学士学位课程； c) 至少 75% 的 Bridges 转学学生将成功完成生物医学/行为科学学士学位。 公共健康相关性：构建生物工程桥梁 (B3) 将与西雅图社区学院的少数族裔学生合作，帮助他们过渡到华盛顿大学 (UW) 和其他四年制大学的学士学位课程。 B3计划将重点关注如何利用生物工程和生物技术来解决全球健康问题。 B3 项目将为学生提供学术机会和指导研究经验，并将包括讲习班和研讨会，为学生提供科学演示的体验。该计划将为学生提供从社​​区学院成功过渡到四年制大学所需的背景和经验。通过这一努力，合作机构将为华盛顿大学和其他大学的各个院系提供对生物医学研究感兴趣的优秀URM学生的来源。
