项目摘要

The “Bridges to Baccalaureate (B2B) Research Training Program at Howard University and Baltimore City Community College” program is a creative STEM training program that is a great fit for B2B. Five B2B students per year will be selected via a rigorous review process and provided educational readiness by P2P while still incarcerated, transition to a 2-year associates granting school (BCCC), be provided skills and methods development while at BCCC, participate in a 10-week STEM research internship at Howard in the summer in between years 1 and 2, then transition to a 4-year school, upon completing their associates degree at BCCC. We plan to start a 5-participant cohort each year of the 5-year funding period. The program will address the following, which is explained in detail within the proposal: 1. Skills development will be gained via the Leadership, College & Professional Readiness, and SAT portions of the P2P program and Intro to Research Workshops will be implemented during the community college time span. 2. Research Experience will be obtained via a 10-week internship with one of nearly 20 collaborating investigators at Howard University and scholars will attend a national meeting to present their work. 3. Curriculum and Methods To provide supplemental instruction for gateway courses, development will include a molecular techniques course incorporated into General Biology (BCCC BTC 105 - Techniques and Instrumentation for Biotechnology) 4. A. Recruitment Plan: We will do a multitude of activities detailed in the proposal but briefly, P2P already works with over 100 individuals per year in their actively running program. Priority will be given to select the top five people of the P2P program. Other recruitment will be done as well, such as placing ads on local hip-hop and top 40 radio stations and utilizing connections already in place with community organizations and government (MD-DOC) partners. 4. B. Retention Plan: We will provide incentives: 60% tuition scholarships, yearly stipends, paid internships, and mentoring opportunities to give back. The goal of the P2P-B2B program is to create synergies between prisons and 2- and 4- year colleges in Baltimore (creating a prison-to-college pipeline) and to increase the transition to BS/BA degrees from AA degrees. Partners & PDs/PIs: 1. Howard University College of Medicine (Dr. Andrisse, lead-PI), 2. Baltimore City Community College (Dr. Schaumloffel, Co-PI), 3. Prison to Professionals (Ms. Skudrzyk, PD). Cross-Disciplinary Perspective: Interdisciplinary approaches are often needed to push the frontiers of research and education. Dr. Andrisse and P2P know first-hand the vast amount of talent and potential that is being missed out on in the currently and formerly incarcerated population. These men and women are primarily people of color and thus have two significant indicators of underrepresentation in the sciences and education. Thus, this project is taking the highly innovative approach to intersect the worlds of research, education, and incarceration by creating a ground-breaking prison-to-college-and-STEM pipeline.

霍华德大学和巴尔的摩市的“通往学士学位的桥梁 (B2B) 研究培训计划 “社区学院”项目是一项创意 STEM 培训项目，非常适合 B2B 学生。每年将通过严格的审查流程进行选择，并通过 P2P 提供教育准备，同时仍然入狱，过渡到两年制副授予学校 (BCCC)，获得技能和方法在 BCCC 期间进行开发，暑期在霍华德参加为期 10 周的 STEM 研究实习第一年和第二年之间，然后在 BCCC 完成副学士学位后过渡到四年制学校。我们计划在 5 年资助期内每年启动一个由 5 名参与者组成的队列，该计划将解决以下问题。以下内容在提案中进行了详细解释： 1. 技能发展将通过 P2P 项目的领导力、大学和专业准备以及 SAT 部分以及研究简介研讨会将在社区大学期间举办。 2. 研究经验。通过与霍华德大学近 20 名合作研究人员之一进行为期 10 周的实习获得学者将参加全国会议展示他们的工作。 3. 提供课程和方法。入门课程的补充说明，开发将包括分子技术课程纳入普通生物学（BCCC BTC 105 - 生物技术技术和仪器）4. A. 招聘计划：我们将开展提案中详述的大量活动，但简单来说，P2P 已经可以发挥作用每年有超过 100 人参与其积极运行的计划，将优先选择前五名。 P2P项目的人员也会进行，比如在当地的嘻哈音乐上投放广告。排名前 40 的广播电台以及已与社区组织和政府建立的联系 (MD-DOC) 合作伙伴。 4. B. 保留计划：我们将提供奖励：60% 的学费奖学金、年度津贴、 P2P-B2B 计划的目标是创造带薪实习和指导机会。巴尔的摩监狱与两年制和四年制大学之间的协同作用（创建监狱到大学的管道）以及促进从 AA 学位向 BS/BA 学位的过渡：合作伙伴和 PD/PI： 1. 霍华德大学。医学院（Andrisse 博士，首席 PI），2. 巴尔的摩城市社区学院（Schaumloffel 博士，联合 PI），3. 专业人员的监狱（Skudrzyk 女士，PD）。 Andrisse 博士和 P2P 经常需要推动研究和教育的前沿。目前和以前被监禁的人正在错过大量的人才和潜力这些男性和女性主要是有色人种，因此有两个重要的指标。因此，该项目具有高度创新性。通过创建一个将研究、教育和监禁世界相交叉的方法突破性的监狱到大学和 STEM 管道。
