项目摘要

ABSTRACT For the last three decades, biomedical research has been expanding rapidly and has made a great impact in producing high quality skilled professionals in the U.S. However, minorities and the underprivileged continue to be underrepresented (UR) in this work force. While the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and other reports show that US students are greatly improving their academic preparedness compared to students from most other nations, our country's minorities and underprivileged students remain relatively poorly prepared to enter high technology careers such as biomedical and behavioral sciences. As a result, minorities, who constitute about 29% of the total population, represent only about 7% of Ph.D. degrees in biomedical and behavioral sciences and hold only about 4% of the R01 biomedical and behavioral research grants. Many UR students are deprived of the opportunity to experience early engagement in science and math. Therefore, because they lack the skills and exposure to move directly into 4-year baccalaureate programs, they enter into 2-year programs at the community and technical colleges. The UofL Bridges to Baccalaureate (ULBB) program will involve the University of Louisville (UofL) and Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) joining forces to develop a sustainable program that will introduce underrepresented and disadvantaged community college students to the career opportunities available in biomedical and behavioral research and prepare them for successful transition from a 2-year program at JCTC to a 4-year STEM related baccalaureate program at UofL. The ULBB program will focus on: 1) strengthening the partnership between JCTC and UofL to increase the recruitment of underrepresented minority and economically disadvantaged high school students into a pathway to biomedical research careers, increasing the graduation rate in Associate in Science (AS) from 12% in 3 years to 50% in 2 years, 2) providing a pipeline of support and mentoring personnel and programs, including academic enrichments, career development training and research experience during each 10-week summer program (two summers) at UofL under the mentorship of internationally renowned faculty that will enhance transfer rate from a current 30% to 70% of ULBB-supported students, and 3) continued mentoring and counseling of students transferred from JCTC to UofL in a small group setting, promoting their involvement in existing undergraduate education programs to improve the present graduation rate of 33% to 70% of our transferred ULBB students, leading to increased recruitment to biomedical research graduate education and careers. The ULBB program is innovative and will not only impact the underrepresented and underprivileged students themselves but also the broader curricular, advising, and research programs of both partner institutions and the pool of diverse, well-qualified scientists entering biomedical research careers.

抽象的在过去的三十年里，生物医学研究一直在迅速扩展，并在以下领域产生了巨大影响：在美国培养高素质的技术型专业人才。然而，少数族裔和弱势群体仍在继续在这支劳动力队伍中代表性不足 (UR)。国际数理动向研究（TIMSS）和其他报告显示，美国学生正在大大提高他们的学术准备与大多数其他国家的学生相比，我国的少数民族和贫困学生仍然存在进入生物医学和行为科学等高科技职业的准备相对不足。作为一个结果，约占总人口 29% 的少数族裔仅占博士生总数的 7% 左右。生物医学和行为科学学位，仅持有 R01 生物医学和行为科学学位的约 4% 行为研究补助金。许多UR学生被剥夺了早期体验的机会参与科学和数学。因此，因为他们缺乏直接进入的技能和接触机会四年制学士学位课程，他们进入社区和技术学院的两年制课程。路易斯维尔大学 (UofL) 和路易斯维尔大学 (UofL) 杰斐逊社区与技术学院 (JCTC) 联手制定可持续计划，向代表性不足和弱势的社区学院学生介绍职业机会可用于生物医学和行为研究，并为他们从两年制的成功过渡做好准备 JCTC 项目到伦敦大学 4 年 STEM 相关学士学位项目。 ULBB 计划将重点 1) 加强 JCTC 和 UofL 之间的合作伙伴关系，以增加招聘代表性不足的少数族裔和经济弱势高中生进入通往生物医学研究职业，将理学副学士 (AS) 的毕业率从 3 年的 12% 提高 2 年内达到 50%，2) 提供支持和指导人员及计划的渠道，包括每个为期 10 周的暑假期间的学术丰富、职业发展培训和研究经验在国际知名教师的指导下，在伦敦大学学院开设了一个项目（两个暑期），该项目将增强 ULBB 支持的学生转学率从目前的 30% 提高到 70%，以及 3) 持续指导和以小组形式为从 JCTC 转学到伦敦大学的学生提供咨询，促进他们参与现有的本科教育计划将我们目前的毕业率从33%提高到70% 转入 ULBB 学生，导致生物医学研究研究生教育招收人数增加，职业生涯。 ULBB 计划具有创新性，不仅会影响代表性不足和弱势群体学生本身，以及双方合作伙伴更广泛的课程、建议和研究项目机构和进入生物医学研究职业的多元化、高素质科学家群体。
