The mission of the Rise to the Challenge Bridge to Health and Bioinformatics program is to continue providing the skills and resources for El Paso Community College (EPCC) students to successfully transfer to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), graduate with a baccalaureate degree, and enter the biomedical research workforce and/or pursue a graduate degree. The goals of the proposed program are to; 1) provide talented EPCC students with the tools to succeed and excel in their freshman and sophomore-level Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics courses; 2) strengthen the data science knowledge and awareness of EPCC students and faculty; 3) increase the number of minority and disadvantaged students that transfer to UTEP with the skills necessary to graduate with a baccalaureate degree in Biomedical or Health Sciences; 4) provide the opportunity for students to earn certificates that will allow them to enter the data science workforce with special emphasis in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics; and 5) guide students through the pathway to a biomedical research career by preparing them early for attainment of advanced degrees. The specific objectives are to; 1) continue enriching EPCC Biology and Chemistry courses, as well as pilot Computer and Health Sciences courses with proven interventions including Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURE) projects and curriculum modules developed in collaboration with, and using the resources of the Genomics Data Science Community Network, UTEP ‘s Gaining Equity in Training for Public Health Informatics and Technology Program, and other UTEP resources, 2) continue implementing Supplemental Instruction in Chemistry and Mathematics courses, and 3) provide comprehensive year-round research training experiences for EPCC students, which include special emphasis in developing Research Interns’ data science skills, awareness of Bioinformatics and Health Informatics research careers, and a clear pathway to the baccalaureate degree and beyond. In addition to the ten Research Interns per year, through our CURE and SI Programs, we expect to enhance research, data science skills and provide career awareness of Bioinformatics and Health Informatics career options to a total of 3,000 students in the five years. At the end of the 5-year funding period, and based on the current five-year R25 Bridge accomplishments, we expect that 85% of the Research Interns will transfer to UTEP, 60% will have graduated with a Baccalaureate degree, and the rest will be on a clear pathway to degree attainment.

迎接挑战之桥健康和生物信息学项目的使命是 继续为埃尔帕索社区学院 (EPCC) 学生提供技能和资源 成功转学到德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校 (UTEP)，毕业时获得 学士学位，并进入生物医学研究队伍和/或攻读研究生 拟议项目的目标是： 1) 为有才华的 EPCC 学生提供 帮助他们在大一和大一水平的生物、化学和 2）数学课程强化EPCC的数据科学知识和意识 学生和教师；3）增加转学的少数族裔和弱势学生的数量 到 UTEP 学习，并具备毕业获得生物医学或健康学士学位所需的技能 4）为学生提供获得入学证书的机会 特别强调生物信息学和健康信息学的数据科学队伍； 5) 尽早做好准备，引导学生走上生物医学研究生涯的道路 以获得高级学位。 1）继续丰富EPCC生物学和化学 课程，以及具有经过验证的干预措施的试点计算机和健康科学课程 包括基于课程的本科生研究经验 (CURE) 项目和课程 与基因组数据科学合作并使用其资源开发的模块 社区网络、UTEP 在公共卫生信息学培训中获得公平性 技术计划和其他 UTEP 资源，2) 继续实施补充 化学和数学课程的教学，以及3）提供全年综合课程 为 EPCC 学生提供研究培训经验，其中特别强调发展 研究实习生的数据科学技能、生物信息学和健康信息学意识 研究职业，以及获得学士学位及以上学位的明确途径。 每年十名研究实习生，通过我们的 CURE 和 SI 计划，我们希望能够提高 研究、数据科学技能并提供生物信息学和健康的职业意识 五年内为总共 3,000 名学生提供了信息学职业选择。 资金期限，并根据 R25 大桥目前五年的成就，我们预计 85% 的研究实习生将转入 UTEP，60% 的实习生将获得学士学位 学位，其余的将走上获得学位的明确途径。
