项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With a student population exceeding 39,000, El Paso Community College (EPCC) is the largest Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) located on the US-Mexico border, the fastest growing community college in the U.S, and the largest grantor of Associate degrees to Hispanic students in the Nation. In the 2011 academic year, 29,901 students enrolled in RISE-relevant courses across EPCC's five campuses. This student population (88% underrepresented) is already interested in health issues that affect the US-Mexico border region where health disparities are extreme. EPCC has been a pioneer in getting students interested in biomedical research and in entering the Ph.D. pipeline. EPCC was the first community college to be funded by the MBRS-RISE Program in 2000. It has been consistently shown that students participating in RISE activities outperform non participants in retention, graduation and progression to the next educational level. The ultimate goal is to develop EPCC to become the Number-One community college in terms of guiding minority and disadvantaged students into the Ph.D pipeline. The goals of EPCC's RISE to the Challenge Program are: 1) to continue providing talented EPCC students with the tools to succeed and excel in their freshman and sophomore-level math and science courses, 2) to continue strengthening the research knowledge and skills of the students and faculty with special emphasis in biomedical and behavioral research, and 3) to increase the number of minority and disadvantaged students that transfer to a four-year institution with the skills necessary to succeed in college and to complete the requirements for a Ph.D. The objectives are: 1) to enhance and enrich the Biology, Chemistry and Math curriculum with innovative instructional strategies, including Supplemental Instruction (SI) and Peer-led team learning (PLTL) using an investigative, multidisciplinary approach to improve student performance and develop student's higher learning skills, 2) to continue providing year-round meaningful research experiences for sophomores and select talented freshman, 3) to maintain our excellent track record of students participating and presenting at national professional meetings, 4) to increase the number of research publications by RISE student participants, 5) to continue providing students with intensive tutoring and advising, and 6) to strengthen the biomedical science learning community and support networks established previously. Because of its large minority enrollment, its focus on student success, and its research infrastructure, EPCC is in a unique position and is committed to reducing the gap in the number of students that complete the PhD degrees by feeding the pipeline of underrepresented students at the earliest stages in their education.

描述（由申请人提供）：El Paso社区学院（EPCC）的学生人数超过39,000，是位于美国 - 墨西哥边境，美国增长最快的社区学院的最大西班牙裔西班牙裔服务机构（HSI），也是美国西班牙裔学生最大的副学士学位。在2011年的学年，有29,901名学生参加了EPCC五个校园的崛起课程。这个学生人数（88％的人数不足）已经对影响健康差异极端的美国 - 墨西哥边境地区的健康问题感兴趣。 EPCC一直是使学生对生物医学研究感兴趣并进入博士学位的先驱。管道。 EPCC是2000年由MBRS-Rise计划资助的第一家社区大学。始终表明，参加Rise活动的学生表现优于非参与者的保留，毕业和发展到下一个教育水平。最终的目标是开发EPCC，以指导少数群体和处于弱势学生的博士学位。 EPCC崛起挑战计划的目标是：1）继续为才华横溢的EPCC学生提供成功并在他们的新生和大二学生和大二水平的数学和科学课程中取得成功和卓越的工具，2）继续增强学生的研究知识和技能，并在生物医学和行为研究中特别强调的是，在少数方面和少数方面的发展方面，以及在较小的学生数量上，以及AND AD的A a and A.完成博士学位的要求。目的是：1）使用创新的教学策略来增强和丰富生物学，化学和数学课程，包括补充教学（SI）（SI）和同伴领导的团队学习（PLTL）（PLTL），采用研究性的多学科方法，以提高学生的绩效并提高学生的高级学习能力，以促进学生的良好成绩和精选良好的学生的良好成绩，以培训学生的绩效，并能够保持学生的良好成绩，以保持良好的良好成绩，以实现良好的新生，并选择新生，在国家专业会议上举行的4）提出，增加了崛起的学生参与者的研究出版物的数量，5）继续为学生提供密集的辅导和建议，以及6）加强以前建立的生物医学科学学习社区和支持网络。由于其少数群体入学，专注于学生成功以及其研究基础设施，EPCC处于独特的位置，并致力于减少通过在教育中最早喂养代表性不足的学生的管道来养活博士学位的学生人数。
