DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request continuing support for a University of Miami (UM) and Miami Dade College (MDC) partnership which has been funded since 1993 by four successive Bridges to the Baccalaureate awards. An overarching goal of our partnership is to increase the number of underrepresented, underserved minority students entering Ph.D. programs in biomedical research. We have pursued that goal by focusing on student development, curriculum supplementation, and MDC faculty capacity building. In this proposal, we refine our activities for actively recruiting needy high-school students from Miami-Dade County; for providing supplementary courses and workshops to increase bridge scholars' academic competitiveness; and for encouraging interest in research through a collaborative-learning, inquiry-based laboratory course, provision of hourly wages for summer research with mentors at UM, extramural research experiences, support for student attendance and presentations at national meetings, and outreach to parents to raise appreciation of research careers for their children. But with this proposal we take on a new, NIH-mandated, second overarching goal of institutional enhancement: to increase the number of all MDC science students receiving their associate degrees and transferring to a four-year institution. We will accomplish this by motivating MDC students through a Bridge Ambassador Program in which bridge scholars are peer models, through offering UM research faculty career seminars at MDC, and though increasing the academic competitiveness of MDC students in their gateway General Chemistry course by implementing Peer-Led Team Learning on the MDC campuses. We will enhance the MDC curriculum in biology and chemistry and the capacity of MDC faculty to infuse a quantitative approach into that curriculum by providing support for MDC faculty to attend workshops and meetings on innovative teaching, by convening a summer workshop for MDC and UM faculty to exchange and coordinate curricula, and by establishing an MDC/UM Faculty Partnership Program. In that program, MDC and UM faculty will teach together in one another's classrooms and laboratories. The proposed Bridge Program between the University of Miami and Miami Dade College will contribute towards NIH's goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minorities with Ph.D.s in the biomedical sciences. Students at community colleges generally are an untapped pool of talent that could make a real difference if provided with career paths to biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们要求对迈阿密大学（UM）和迈阿密达德学院（MDC）合作伙伴关系继续提供支持，该伙伴关系自1993年以来由四个连续的Bridges授予学士学位奖。我们合作伙伴关系的总体目标是增加代表人数不足，服务不足的少数族裔学生的数量。生物医学研究计划。我们通过专注于学生发展，补充课程和MDC教师能力建设来实现这一目标。在此提案中，我们为积极招募来自迈阿密戴德县的有需要的高中生的活动而完善了我们的活动；提供补充课程和讲习班，以提高桥梁学者的学术竞争力；并通过协作学习，基于询问的实验室课程来鼓励人们对研究的兴趣，提供与UM的导师的小时工资，校外研究经验，对学生出勤的支持和在国家会议上的支持以及向父母宣布对孩子的研究欣赏。但是，通过这项建议，我们实现了机构增强的新的，NIH规定的第二个总体目标：增加所有获得其副学士学位的MDC科学专业学生的数量并转移到四年制的机构。我们将通过一项桥梁大使计划激励MDC学生来实现这一目标，在该计划中，桥梁学者是同伴模型，通过在MDC举行的UM研究教师的职业研讨会，尽管在Gateway General Chemistry Consects在MDC校园内实施同伴领导的团队学习中，MDC学生的学术竞争力提高了。我们将增强生物学和化学的MDC课程，以及MDC教职员工通过为MDC教师提供支持，通过为MDC教学的​​讲习班和会议提供支持，通过为MDC召集MDC和UM教职员工来交换和协调Curric curric fac/umcc/umcc and fac/umdc，在该计划中，MDC和UM教师将在彼此的教室和实验室中一起教书。迈阿密大学和迈阿密达德学院之间的拟议桥梁计划将促进NIH的目标，以增加生物医学科学博士学位的人数不足的少数民族的数量。社区大学的学生通常是一群未开发的人才，如果提供了生物医学研究的职业途径，可能会产生真正的影响。
