项目摘要

Project Summary The School of Medicine at UCR proposes to create a research education program to facilitate transfer of students into Biomedical and Behavioral science majors, with the ultimate goal of increasing participation of underrepresented minority groups in research-oriented careers in these areas. Many underrepresented minority (URM) students have less access to high quality science instruction, resources and enriching opportunities at all stages of public education. African Americans, Chicano/Latino, Native Americans, Hawaiian and Alaskan Natives, Pacific Islander or socio-economically disadvantaged students make up a small percentage of science teachers in K-12 as well as higher education, and are even more underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral science fields requiring post-graduate degrees. The proposed program, Riverside Bridges to the Baccalaureate (Riverside B2B) will be established between Riverside City College (RCC) and the University of California Riverside (UCR) to identify students committed to pursuing a career in science and facilitate their transfer and successful completion of Baccalaureate degrees in STEM majors, with a specific focus on biomedical and behavioral science-related research. The program contains interventions and support services designed to substantially improve the overall two-year graduation rate for RCC Bridges Scholars, to help them achieve graduation in a normative two-year window following matriculation at UCR, and to address the causes of URM attrition in STEM programs. Specific program components include: compensated research experiences to stimulate greater awareness of career options in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and to reduce the necessity of working in non-academic jobs; peer and faculty mentoring that begins before RCC Bridges Scholars transfer to UCR; and a summer “boot camp” to familiarize incoming students with UCR's course structure and student support services. By creating a program that bridges the community college and four-year university education and provides adequate preparation before and mentoring after transfer, we believe we can overcome these disadvantages and improve the success and persistence of URM transfer students in biomedical and behavioral sciences at the University of California, Riverside.

项目概要加州大学河滨分校医学院提议创建一个研究教育计划，以促进转学学生进入生物医学和行为科学专业，最终目标是提高学生的参与度在这些领域的研究型职业中，少数群体的代表性不足。少数族裔 (URM) 学生获得高质量科学教学、资源和丰富知识的机会较少公共教育各个阶段的机会。阿拉斯加原住民、太平洋岛民或社会经济弱势学生构成了一小部分 K-12 和高等教育中科学教师的百分比，并且在需要研究生学位的生物医学和行为科学领域。拟议的项目“Riverside Bridges to the Baccalaureate”（Riverside B2B）将在河滨城市学院 (RCC) 和加州大学河滨分校 (UCR) 确定学生致力于追求科学事业并促进他们转学并成功完成学士学位 STEM 专业，特别关注生物医学和行为科学相关的研究。包含旨在大幅改善两年毕业总体情况的干预措施和支持服务 RCC Bridges 学者的利率，帮助他们在规范的两年窗口内毕业 UCR 的录取，并解决 STEM 项目中 URM 流失的原因。组成部分包括：有偿研究经验，以激发人们对职业选择的更多认识生物医学和行为科学，并减少从事非学术工作的必要性；在 RCC Bridges 学者转学到 UCR 之前开始的教师指导以及夏季“新兵训练营”；让新生熟悉 UCR 的课程结构和学生支持服务。通过创建一个连接社区学院和四年制大学教育的计划，并提供转学前充分的准备和转学后的指导，我们相信我们可以克服这些缺点提高 URM 转学生在生物医学和行为科学领域的成功率和毅力加州大学河滨分校。
