DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and El Paso Community College (EPCC) propose to renew their partnership to promote the successful transition of minority (primarily Mexican-American) students with interests in biomedical/behavioral sciences from the community college to the university and to improve their completion of a baccalaureate degree. This will expand the current highly successful Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program between these two institutions. The specific aims of this proposal are the following: SPECIFIC AIM #1: To increase interest among minority students (primarily Mexican-Americans) in biomedical/behavioral sciences as a career and increase by 50% the applicant pool to the Bridges program. We propose to increase the pool of applicants from the current four-year (2005-2008) average of 82 per year to an average of 123 applicants per year over the proposed grant period (5 years). SPECIFIC AIM #2: To increase by 50% the transfer rate of Bridges participants to baccalaureate degrees in biomedical/behavioral sciences. We propose to increase transfer rate of Bridges participants to biomedical/behavioral science majors from the current four-year (2005-2008) 63% average to a 95% average over the proposed grant period (5 years). SPECIFIC AIM #3: To transfer professional skills and fully describe career options in the biomedical/behavioral sciences to Bridges participants. In our experience, the students from EPCC are typically unaware of career opportunities in biomedical/behavioral science- related fields beyond that of nursing, physiotherapy, and medicine. These students have little or no exposure to other biomedical/behavioral professionals and researchers, and do not know what skills are expected from them. The previous successful weekly colloquia with seminar and workshop series to instruct students on key professional skills and potential opportunities will be maintained. SPECIFIC AIM #4: To significantly increase the percentage of transferred participants who complete a baccalaureate degree in biomedical/behavioral sciences. We propose to increase the percentage of Bridges participants who attain the baccalaureate degree in biomedical/behavioral sciences from our historical (17-year) average of 60% to an average of 80% over the proposed grant period (5 years). The ultimate goal of our proposal is to increase the influx of underrepresented minorities (mainly Hispanics) into biomedical/behavioral science careers and encourage them toward a graduate (Ph.D.) research program. Public Health Relevance: The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and El Paso Community College (EPCC) propose to renew their partnership to promote the successful transition of minority (primarily Mexican-American) students with interests in biomedical/behavioral sciences from the community college to the university and to improve their completion of a baccalaureate degree.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学El Paso（UTEP）和El Paso社区学院（EPCC）提议更新他们的合作伙伴关系，以促进对少数民族（主要是墨西哥裔美国人）的成功过渡，对生物医学/行为科学的兴趣兴趣，以从社区学院向大学和大学的完成baccalaleatem of Baccaleareate notionionementione。这将把当前非常成功的桥梁扩展到这两个机构之间的学科计划。该提案的具体目的是：具体目的1：增加生物医学/行为科学的少数族裔学生（主要是墨西哥裔美国人）的兴趣，作为职业生涯，并将申请人池增加50％。我们建议将申请人的库从目前的四年（2005-2008）平均每年82个增加到拟议的赠款期（5年）的平均每年123名。具体目的＃2：将桥梁参与者转移率提高到生物医学/行为科学中的学士学位。我们建议将桥梁参与者的转移率提高到生物医学/行为科学专业的专业，从当前的四年（2005-2008）63％的平均水平到拟议的赠款期（5年）的平均水平为95％。特定目标3：转移专业技能并充分描述生物医学/行为科学中的职业选择，向桥梁参与者。根据我们的经验，EPCC的学生通常不知道生物医学/行为科学与护理，物理疗法和医学相关领域的职业机会。这些学生几乎没有或根本没有与其他生物医学/行为专业人士和研究人员接触，并且不知道他们期望什么技能。以前成功的每周一次的校友将与研讨会和研讨会系列介绍，以指导学生了解关键的专业技能和潜在机会。特定目的4：显着增加完成生物医学/行为科学学士学位的转移参与者的百分比。我们建议将生物医学/行为科学学士学位的桥梁参与者的百分比从我们的历史平均（17年）平均为60％到80％（5年）。我们提案的最终目标是增加代表性不足的少数民族（主要是西班牙裔）的涌入到生物医学/行为科学生涯中，并鼓励他们迈向研究生（PH.D.）研究计划。 公共卫生相关性：德克萨斯大学El Paso大学（UTEP）和El Paso社区学院（EPCC）提议恢复其合作伙伴关系，以促进对少数民族（主要是墨西哥裔美国人）学生的成功过渡，对生物医学/行为科学的兴趣兴趣，从而从社区学院兴趣从社区学院到大学，并提高了bacccalaureate的完成。这将把当前非常成功的桥梁扩展到这两个机构之间的学科计划。该提案的具体目的是：具体目的1：增加生物医学/行为科学的少数族裔学生（主要是墨西哥裔美国人）的兴趣，作为职业生涯，并将申请人池增加50％。具体目的＃2：将桥梁参与者转移率提高到生物医学/行为科学中的学士学位。特定目标3：转移专业技能并充分描述生物医学/行为科学中的职业选择，向桥梁参与者。特定目的4：显着增加完成生物医学/行为科学学士学位的转移参与者的百分比。我们提案的最终目标是增加代表性不足的少数民族（主要是西班牙裔）的涌入到生物医学/行为科学生涯中，并鼓励他们迈向研究生（PH.D.）研究计划。
