Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) served as baccalaureate institutions of origin for approximately one quarter of African Americans who earned STEM and Engineering doctoral degrees from 2015-2019, yield more than 17% of bachelor’s degrees, and more than a quarter of all STEM baccalaureate degrees earned by Black students. As Florida’s only public HBCU, Florida A&M University has a rich tradition in cultivating African American students from diverse backgrounds with superior academic qualities. While HBCUs have overperformed in doctoral degrees earned by their graduates, the dearth of underrepresented doctoral degrees in the sciences remains a problem. This is in part due to underutilization of public Community Colleges. The Bridges to the Baccalaureate Research Training Program at Florida A&M University (B2B) aims to provide structured, evidence-based activities to prepare a diverse cohort of community college students to transfer to and complete a bachelor's degree in biomedical research fields; stimulate interest among UR students across the campuses of TCC and FAMU to pursue biomedical research-based terminal degrees; and increase the number of UR students who hold leadership positions in STEM research enterprises. Through an intricately designed program interwoven with social cognitive career theory and community cultural wealth, B2B acknowledges and leverages students’ cultural capital, backgrounds and experiences, and their impact on self- efficacy, science identity, career decision making, everyday actions, and outcomes. The B2B will recruit and maintain 10 B2B trainees in year 1 and 5 in years 2-5 with a minimum 2.7 GPA, full-time enrollment in the gateway science courses, and strong research career interest; establish a semi-structured Peer Mentoring program where Year II B2B trainees are matched with FAMU NCI CaRE2 trainees, and YEAR I B2B trainees to facilitate topic based and informal mentoring; and facilitate professional development of TCC faculty and academic advisors to better align advisement with preparation for matriculation into biomedically-related baccalaureate programs at FAMU. The B2B will provide faculty-mentored research experiences where B2B trainees produce mini proposals for projects that serve as the basis for mentored research training and use results from their authentic research experiences to present at regional symposia and national science conferences. Career development activities, including academic success workshops, professional development seminars, research seminars, structured and independent activities related to career exploration in the biomedical sciences, and leadership development trainings will enhance the institutional culture of both TCC and FAMU. This partnership will be further leveraged to implement an Annual Research Day at TCC that features presentations from B2B trainees and other students involved in research at TCC and FAMU. Open to the broader TCC and FAMU campus communities, Research Day will help facilitate learning about biomedical research related careers and training opportunities.

历史上，黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 是黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 的起源地 大约四分之一的非裔美国人获得了 STEM 和工程博士学位 2015-2019 年，获得超过 17% 的学士学位，超过四分之一的 STEM 学士学位 作为佛罗里达州唯一一所公立 HBCU，佛罗里达 A&M 大学在黑人学生获得的学位方面拥有丰富的传统。 培养来自不同背景且具有卓越学术素质的非裔美国学生。 其毕业生获得的博士学位表现优异，缺乏代表性的博士生 科学学位仍然是一个问题，部分原因是公立社区学院利用率不足。 佛罗里达农工大学 (B2B) 通往学士学位研究培训计划的桥梁旨在提供 结构化的、基于证据的活动，为多样化的社区学院学生做好转学到的准备 并完成生物医学研究领域的学士学位；激发UR学生的兴趣； TCC 和 FAMU 校区攻读生物医学研究型终端学位并增加 通过错综复杂的研究，在 STEM 研究企业中担任领导职务的 UR 学生数量。 设计的项目与社会认知职业理论和社区文化财富交织在一起，B2B 承认并利用学生的文化资本、背景和经验及其对自我的影响 B2B 将招募和结果。 在第 1 年和第 2-5 年保持 10 名 B2B 学员，GPA 至少为 2.7，全日制注册 入门科学课程，以及强烈的研究职业兴趣；建立半结构化的同伴指导； 其中第二年 B2B 受训人员与 FAMU NCI CaRE2 受训人员相匹配，第一年 B2B 受训人员与 FAMU NCI CaRE2 受训人员相匹配 促进基于主题的非正式指导；并促进 TCC 教职员工的专业发展； 学术顾问更好地将建议与生物医学相关专业的入学准备结合起来 FAMU 的学士学位课程将提供教师指导的研究经验。 学员为项目提出迷你提案，作为指导研究培训和使用的基础 他们真实的研究经验的成果将在区域研讨会和国家科学会议上展示 职业发展活动，包括学术成功研讨会、专业研讨会。 发展研讨会、研究研讨会、与职业探索相关的结构化和独立活动 在生物医学科学领域，领导力发展培训将增强双方的机构文化 TCC 和 FAMU 将进一步利用这一伙伴关系在 TCC 举办年度研究日活动。 其中包括 B2B 学员和参与 TCC 和 FAMU Open 研究的其他学生的演讲。 对于更广泛的 TCC 和 FAMU 校园社区，研究日将有助于促进生物医学的学习 研究相关的职业和培训机会。
