项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Well-articulated policies and coordinated plans can help two-year colleges play an important role in increasing the proportion of underrepresented students who successfully complete behavioral and biomedical science research focused degrees and go on to successful research careers in their chosen fields. The program described in this proposal will leverage existing partnerships, strategies and resources between the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and four City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) to improve the transfer pipeline and baccalaureate degree completion of underrepresented students in behavioral and biomedical research focused science careers represented in our College of Nursing, School of Public Health and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Physics). The proposed program will also enhance collaborations and professional development opportunities between UIC and CCC faculty that will lead to a more robust educational experience for the participating students. UIC is a public research-intensive university with a diverse undergraduate student body. CCC is a seven- institution community college system serving the city of Chicago. This proposal will build upon the structure of the Guaranteed Admission Transfer (GAT) program - a partnership which offers CCC students the opportunity for guaranteed undergraduate admission to UIC after they complete their first two years at one of the CCC institutions - by providing a variety of support and research focused educational activities to enhance the successful transfer of underrepresented students into one of the three identified behavioral and biomedical science research career paths. By providing enhanced recruitment efforts, placement, training, and mentorship, we can expose students to a "culture of research science" and provide academic support, research experiences, and the creation of cohorts/learning communities to move the transfer students through their undergraduate programs. Furthermore, we propose to track these students through their entire UIC career, and measure the impact of this program on the transfer process, retention, persistence, graduation in the behavioral and biomedical science research-focused majors, and continued success along the trajectory toward research careers. This program will augment our current NIH-sponsored Bridges to the Doctorate for Minority Nursing Students program in the College of Nursing.

描述（由申请人提供）：明确的政策和协调的计划可以帮助两年制大学在提高代表性不足的学生的比例方面发挥重要作用，这些学生成功完成行为和生物医学科学研究重点学位并继续在其领域取得成功的研究生涯所选择的领域。该提案中描述的计划将利用伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校 (UIC) 和芝加哥四所城市学院 (CCC) 之间现有的合作伙伴关系、战略和资源，改善行为和生物医学研究领域代表性不足的学生的转学渠道和学士学位完成情况我们的护理学院、公共卫生学院和文理学院（生物学、化学、心理学、物理学）代表着专注于科学的职业。拟议的计划还将加强 UIC 和 CCC 教师之间的合作和专业发展机会，从而为参与的学生带来更丰富的教育体验。 UIC 是一所公立研究型大学，拥有多元化的本科生群体。 CCC 是一个为芝加哥市提供服务的七机构社区学院系统。该提案将建立在保证入学转学 (GAT) 计划的结构之上，该计划是一种合作伙伴关系，为 CCC 学生在 CCC 院校完成头两年后提供保证本科入学到 UIC 的机会 - 通过提供各种支持和以研究为重点的教育活动，以促进代表性不足的学生成功转移到三个已确定的行为和生物医学科学研究职业道路之一。通过加强招生、安置、培训和指导，我们可以让学生接触“研究科学研究文化”，并提供学术支持、研究经验和创建群组/学习社区，以推动转学生完成本科课程。此外，我们建议跟踪这些学生的整个UIC职业生涯，并衡量该项目对转学过程、保留、坚持、以行为和生物医学科学研究为重点的专业毕业以及在研究轨迹上持续取得成功的影响职业生涯。该计划将增强我们目前由美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 赞助的护理学院少数族裔护理学生通往博士学位桥梁计划。
