DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Meeting national needs in the public health sector and particularly in research areas within the biomedical and behavioral science will depend on the growth and diversification of the workforce entering this sector. Community colleges educate large numbers of students, especially underrepresented minorities (racial, ethnic, first-generation college, and economically disadvantaged). With specific attention to their unique needs, a greater percentage of this population has the potential to complete four-year degrees and graduate programs and become researchers in the health sciences. The Virginia Bridges Program aims to increase the number of underrepresented (UR) Virginia residents pursuing degrees and research career paths in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. A bridge between New River (NR) and Northern Virginia (NOVA) Community Colleges and Virginia Tech (VT) will generate interest and skills in the biomedical/behavioral sciences among UR students, beginning their first year at NR and NOVA through engaging research experiences. Additional research opportunities combined with academic support programs and mentoring will promote persistence, achievement, and timely progress through their degrees. Through reflective and networked practices that span all four undergraduate years, Bridges students will define their own academic path and connect with peer scientists across institutions.

描述（由申请人提供）：满足公共卫生部门的国家需求，尤其是在生物医学和行为科学内的研究领域，将取决于进入该行业的劳动力的增长和多样化。社区学院教育大量学生，特别是代表性不足的少数民族（种族，种族，第一代学院和经济上的处境不利）。特别是注意他们独特的需求，大部分人群有可能完成四年学位和研究生课程，并成为健康科学的研究人员。弗吉尼亚桥梁计划的目的是增加生物医学和行为科学领域的弗吉尼亚州居民的代表性不足（UR）居民的数量。 New River（NR）与北弗吉尼亚州（NOVA）社区学院和弗吉尼亚理工大学（VT）之间的一座桥梁将在UR学生中引起生物医学/行为科学的兴趣和技能，并通过吸引人的研究经验开始在NR和Nova的第一年。额外的研究机会与学术支持计划和指导相结合，将促进持久性，成就和及时在其学位上进步。通过跨越四个本科生的反思性和网络实践，桥梁学生将定义自己的学术道路，并与机构的同伴科学家建立联系。
