DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Bridges to the Baccalaureate, A Continuing Partnership Between California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), Cerritos College, and Long Beach City College (LBCC). The goals of the Bridges Program are to increase the quality of preparation and numbers of students in targeted groups/populations (STG/P) from two major feeder and neighboring community colleges (Cerritos College and Long Beach City College, see Appendix A) who successfully transition to CSULB and other universities as they prepare for careers in the biomedical sciences. Also, to strengthen the relationship between CSULB's science programs and its two community college partners is part of this program's goals. The objectives of the Bridges Program are (1) to provide community college students and their family members with an understanding and appreciation of the research experience and increase the number of STG/Ps from community colleges to seek careers in biomedical research, (2) to promote their successful transition from the partner community colleges to CSULB or other baccalaureate granting universities, and (3) to strengthen the relationship of the science programs at CSULB and its two community college partners. Some of the activities undertaken to meet the objectives include: Providing information about transfer courses to CSULB and other four-year universities; Providing a funded summer research experience for students attending partner community colleges; Providing the participating students with tools to understand the literature of science; Providing the students with presentation techniques such as posters and PowerPoint; Inviting family members of Bridges student to visit science research laboratories on a university campus; Enhancing closer communications and mentoring between science faculty of the participating institutions. This Bridges to the Baccalaureate grant application from California State University, Long Beach includes plans to increase the number of students in targeted groups/populations (STG/P) entering baccalaureate degree programs in the biomedical sciences. A nation's well-trained workforce in the biomedical sciences will provide better opportunities to improve the health of its people and reduce the existence of health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：通往学士学位的桥梁，加州州立大学长滩分校 (CSULB)、喜瑞都学院和长滩城市学院 (LBCC) 之间的持续合作伙伴关系。桥梁计划的目标是提高来自两所主要支线学院和邻近社区学院（喜瑞都学院和长滩城市学院，见附录 A）的目标群体/人群 (STG/P) 的准备质量和学生数量。过渡到 CSULB 和其他大学，为生物医学科学的职业生涯做准备。此外，加强 CSULB 科学项目与其两个社区大学合作伙伴之间的关系也是该项目目标的一部分。桥梁计划的目标是 (1) 为社区学院学生及其家庭成员提供对研究经验的理解和欣赏，并增加社区学院寻求生物医学研究职业的 STG/P 数量，(2)促进他们从合作伙伴社区学院成功过渡到 CSULB 或其他授予学士学位的大学，以及 (3) 加强 CSULB 科学项目与其两所社区学院合作伙伴的关系。为实现这些目标而开展的一些活动包括： 提供有关向 CSULB 和其他四年制大学转学课程的信息；为就读合作伙伴社区大学的学生提供资助的暑期研究经验；为参与的学生提供理解科学文献的工具；为学生提供海报和PowerPoint等演示技巧；邀请布里奇斯学生的家人参观大学校园的科学研究实验室；加强参与机构的科学教师之间更密切的沟通和指导。加州州立大学长滩分校的这份通往学士学位的桥梁资助申请包括增加目标群体/人群 (STG/P) 进入生物医学科学学士学位课程的学生数量的计划。一个国家在生物医学领域训练有素的劳动力将为改善人民的健康和减少健康差距提供更好的机会。
