This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The goal of the Nevada Biomedical Student Pipeline Project is to increase the number of low-income and underrepresented minority undergraduates interested in and successfully working toward biomedical careers. The strategy is to employ an intensive recruitment program to expose targeted students to the excitement of biomedical discovery and potential career opportunities. Select students receive a stipend to participate in the summer Bridge Workshop prior to their freshman year at community college. The Bridge Workshop is designed to remedy math and language skill deficiencies, and improve general science literacy, career awareness, study skills, and overall college preparedness. Program participants receive mentoring, personal advising, and free tutoring during the academic year and return for a second workshop experience the summer prior to their sophomore year. The BioPrep Workshop is designed to prepare students for long-term success as life science majors by focusing on specific content knowledge, and laboratory and critical thinking skills needed for mastery of Introduction to Cell and Molecular Biology, a crucial pre-requisite course in the major. Student performance in this course is a major component of program assessment. The program provides mentoring, advisement, and tutoring throughout the sophomore year and assists students with matriculation and transition to university. A combination of factors in Nevada necessitates this multi-tiered, community college centered approach. Nevada is one of the fastest growing states in the country, with rapidly growing ethnic minority populations. Nevada has a high poverty rate (18.5%), a staggering high school dropout rate (15.2%), and has historically undervalued education because of the availability of low-skill jobs in the casino industry and lack of other employment opportunities. Community colleges are the avenues to higher education for low-income and minority students in Nevada, many of whom are under-prepared for college and have minimal exposure to careers in science.

该副本是利用众多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子弹和 调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构是 对于中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。 内华达州生物医学学生管道项目的目标是增加对生物医学职业感兴趣并成功努力的低收入和代表性不足的少数群体本科生的数量。 该策略是采用密集的招聘计划，使目标学生兴奋生物医学发现和潜在的职业机会。 精选学生将在大一年级在社区学院参加夏季桥梁研讨会。 桥梁研讨会旨在补救数学和语言技能缺陷，并提高一般科学素养，职业意识，学习技能和整体大学准备。 计划参与者在学年中获得指导，个人建议和免费辅导，并在大二年前的夏天返回第二次研讨会体验。 BiOPREP研讨会旨在通过专注于特定内容知识，以及掌握细胞和分子生物学介绍所需的实验室和批判性思维技能，为学生提供长期成功的准备，这是专业的重要前提课程。 本课程中的学生表现是计划评估的主要组成部分。 该计划在整个大二一年中提供指导，建议和辅导，并协助学生入学和过渡到大学。 内华达州的各种因素都必须采用这种以社区为中心的多层化方法。 内华达州是该国增长最快的州之一，少数民族人口迅速增长。 内华达州的贫困率很高（18.5％），高中辍学率惊人（15.2％），并且由于赌场行业的低技能工作以及缺乏其他就业机会，历史上低估了教育。 社区大学是内华达州低收入和少数族裔学生高等教育的途径，其中许多人为大学准备不足，并且对科学职业的职业接触最少。
