ABSTRACT The mission of our collaborative Bridges to the Baccalaureate (B2B) program is to develop a diverse pool of biomedical scientists by supporting research-oriented community college students to successfully bridge to UC Davis (UCD) and complete a bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences in normative time. Our program entails a collaboration between UCD and a nearby community college American River College (ARC). The proposed training plan includes five key elements: (1) Active outreach to STEM-focused trainees from diverse backgrounds at ARC; (2) Trainee exposure to and engagement with research at ARC; (3) An intensive Summer Bridge research experience at UCD prior to transfer; (4) Placement into research labs beginning with the trainees' first quarter at UCD; and (5) A multifaceted retention plan. In addition to research experience, students in the B2B program will also receive administrative, academic, and career-skills support through our coordination with AvenueB and AvenueE, programs at UCD that recruit, support and retain biological science and engineering science-oriented underrepresented, low income, first- generation and women college transfer students (i.e., historically excluded populations). At ARC, a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) embedded in the first semester major’s biology class will connect interested students to research opportunities available for units as independent studies. The administration of these independent study experiences will be led by ARC faculty and technicians with UCD faculty and students providing supplemental programming and support. These efforts will expand the opportunities for the diverse student population at ARC to engage in science and research early in their academic journey. At UCD, a Summer Bridge research experience will immerse students in a research environment that mimics key elements of undergraduate research and provides training in robust experimental design, reproducibility, data analysis, responsible conduct in research, an introduction to computation, and career development. Day-to-day mentorship will be provided from staff, faculty and advanced undergraduates and will focus on building our trainees’ sense of community and belonging. Following the summer bridge program, B2B trainees will be placed in faculty research labs under the mentorship of one of the B2B program’s selected faculty mentors and transition to existing training programs (e.g. NIH- MARC) for extra support. Demonstrated success of the partnership between ARC and UCD will lay the groundwork for developing similar collaborations with other community colleges.

抽象的 我们的合作桥梁通往学士学位 (B2B) 计划的使命是开发多样化的人才库 生物医学科学家通过支持研究型社区学院学生成功过渡到加州大学 戴维斯（都柏林大学）并在规范时间内完成生物医学科学学士学位。 都柏林大学 (UCD) 与附近的社区学院美国河学院 (ARC) 合作。 培训计划包括五个关键要素： (1) 积极接触来自不同背景、以 STEM 为重点的学员 在 ARC；(2) 实习生接触并参与 ARC 的研究；(3) 强化暑期桥梁课程； 转学前在都柏林大学的研究经历； (4) 从学员第一次进入研究实验室开始 (5) 除了研究经验之外，B2B 的学生也可以享受多方面的保留计划。 该计划还将通过我们的协调获得行政、学术和职业技能支持 AvenueB 和 AvenueE，UCD 招聘、支持和保留生物科学与工程专业的项目 以科学为导向的代表性不足、低收入、第一代和女大学转学生（即 在 ARC，基于课程的本科生研究体验 (CURE) 嵌入第一学期专业生物课将为感兴趣的学生提供研究机会 这些独立学习经验的管理将可供单位作为独立研究。 由 ARC 教职人员和技术人员领导，UCD 教职人员和学生提供补充编程和 这些努力将为 ARC 的多元化学生群体提供更多参与机会。 在都柏林大学，他们将在学术旅程的早期进行科学和研究，并获得夏季桥梁研究经历。 让学生沉浸在模仿本科生研究关键要素的研究环境中，并提供 稳健的实验设计、可重复性、数据分析、负责任的研究行为、 工作人员和教师将提供计算简介和职业发展。 和高年级本科生，并将重点培养学员的社区意识和归属感。 夏季桥梁计划结束后，B2B 培训生将在指导下被安排到研究实验室 B2B 项目选定的教师导师之一，并过渡到现有的培训项目（例如 NIH- MARC）的额外支持，A​​RC 和都柏林大学之间的合作取得了成功，这将为我们奠定基础。 为与其他社区学院开展类似合作奠定基础。
