DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For underrepresented and underserved (UR/US) Americans, community college serves as a critical gateway to eventually completing baccalaureate degrees and graduate programs in biomedical and behavioral sciences. Long Beach-area CCs are some of the most ethnically and culturally diverse in the nation, and represent an outstanding pool of potential talent upon which to develop professionals and leaders in biomedical and behavioral sciences. California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) is also one of the most diverse universities in the nation, and is well recognized for its academic excellence. By partnering with Long Beach City College (LBCC) and Cerritos College (Cerritos), the proposed LB3 Program takes advantage of this special opportunity to pursue mechanisms that are effective in promoting, supporting, and preparing students from UR/US groups to be successful in the key developmental stages between CC and successful attainment of baccalaureate degrees. Using a highly student-oriented and vibrant research environment at CSULB as a center-point, and substantial experience in effective student development programs (including two prior Bridges programs), this partnership's overall objective is to increase the number of UR/US students choosing and successfully completing baccalaureate degrees in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, and to foster their pursuit of related advanced degrees and career goals. The LB3 Program has four specific aims, as follows: (1) Actively recruit and engage LBCC and Cerritos students and their families to provide them essential information about educational pathways and career opportunities within biomedical and behavioral sciences, and facilitate their approach and success in university transfer; (2) Develop research and academic science skills and interests in UR/US students, beginning at the CC level, to enhance their success in transitioning to university and in completing baccalaureate degrees in the biomedical and behavioral sciences; (3) Strengthen the relationship between the CSULB, Cerritos and LBCC science programs, to improve integration of curricula and training opportunities for students pursuing biomedical and behavioral degree areas, facilitating a more "seamless" transition to the university; (4) Increase the number of UR/US students from LBCC and Cerritos applying and transferring to CSULB or other baccalaureate programs in biomedical and behavioral sciences, and increase their retention and graduation rates. Examples of the activities undertaken to meet the aims include: [a] providing up-dated information and assistance on university admissions and transfer, course requirements and articulation, student services, and educational and career opportunities in biomedical and behavioral sciences; [b] development of a website that enhances outreach to UR/US students and which also disseminates our data and findings from LB3 Program activities and methods; [c] providing funded, in-depth "Summer Research Experience" internships for UR/US students from the CCs that engage them in the excitement of research, opening new horizons; [d] training LB3 students in a variety of scientific and academic skills, from laboratory procedures/methods to responsible conduct of research (RCR), to understanding and evaluating scientific literature, to data analysis and preparation for use in professional science venues, among others; [e] providing close advising and mentorship systems that help students navigate through their degree objectives and which can identify "at risk" students for possible intervention; [f] enhancing broader understanding of biomedical science and career opportunities by inviting family members of LB3 students to visit research laboratories (including using a bilingual format to enhance communication) and by holding biomedical and behavioral research seminars and presentations at the CC campuses; [g] expanding communication and coordination among all three institutions to provide straightforward (seamless) pathways toward baccalaureate degree completion and coordinated student programs. The LB3 Program is acutely aware of the national need for production of scientists who are outstanding and prepared for future challenges, and the additional critical need to develop such human capital that will represent a leadership and technical workforce that reflects the growing diversity of our nation. We recognize Long Beach as an "incubator" in this respect, and the LB3 Program is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of existing strengths, a strategic plan based upon prior findings, and tremendous potential to expand on its successes.

描述（由申请人提供）：对于代表性不足和服务不足（UR/美国）美国人，社区学院是最终完成学士学位和生物医学和行为科学学士学位课程的关键门户。长滩地区的CC是全国最有种族和文化上最多样化的人，代表了培养生物医学和行为科学领域的专业人士和领导者的杰出潜在人才。加州州立大学，长滩（CSULB）也是美国最多样化的大学之一，并以其卓越的学术认可。通过与长滩城学院（LBCC）和塞里托斯学院（Cerritos）合作，拟议的LB3计划利用了这一特殊机会来寻求有效促进，支持和美国群体的学生在CC之间取得关键的发展阶段和成功实现Baccalaulaulaulauroweate gemeres gemeres gemrees gemrees的机制。 Using a highly student-oriented and vibrant research environment at CSULB as a center-point, and substantial experience in effective student development programs (including two prior Bridges programs), this partnership's overall objective is to increase the number of UR/US students choosing and successfully completing baccalaureate degrees in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, and to foster their pursuit of related advanced degrees and career goals. LB3计划具有四个具体目标，如下：（1）积极招募和吸引LBCC和Cerritos学生及其家人，为他们提供有关生物医学和行为科学中教育途径和职业机会的重要信息，并促进他们的方法和成功的大学转学； （2）从CC级别开始，发展UR/US学生的研究和学术科学技能和兴趣，以增强他们在过渡到大学的成功以及在生物医学和行为科学中完成学士学位的成功； （3）加强CSulb，Cerritos和LBCC科学计划之间的关系，以改善课程和培训机会的整合，以追求生物医学和行为学位领域，从而促进对大学的“无缝”过渡； （4）增加了LBCC和Cerritos的UR/US学生的数量，这些人数在生物医学和行为科学领域申请并转移到CSULB或其他学士学位计划，并提高其保留率和毕业率。实现目标的活动的例子包括：[a]在大学招生和转学，课程要求和表达，学生服务以及生物医学和行为科学方面的教育和职业机会； [b]开发一个网站，该网站可以增强向UR/美国学生的推广，并从LB3计划活动和方法中传播我们的数据和发现； [c]为来自CCS的UR/US学生提供资助的，深入的“夏季研究经验”实习，使他们参与研究的兴奋，开放新的视野； [d]从实验室培训LB3学生的各种科学和学术技能 负责任进行研究的程序/方法（RCR），理解和评估科学文献，以进行数据分析和准备在专业科学场所的使用等； [e]提供紧密的建议和指导系统，以帮助学生遵循其学位目标，并可以识别“有风险”的学生进行干预； [f]通过邀请LB3学生的家庭成员参观研究实验室（包括使用双语格式来增强沟通），并通过在CC校园内举行生物医学和行为研究研讨会和演讲来增强对生物医学科学和职业机会的广泛了解； [g]扩大所有三个机构之间的沟通和协调，以提供通往学士学位完成和协调学生计划的直接（无缝）途径。 LB3计划敏锐地意识到国家对生产科学家的生产需求，这些科学家是未来挑战的杰出和准备的，以及发展这样的人力资本的额外批判需求，这将代表一个领导和技术劳动力，这反映了我们不断增长的多样性 国家。在这方面，我们认识到长滩是一个“孵化器”，LB3计划是利用现有优势的绝佳机会，基于先前发现的战略计划，以及扩大其成功的巨大潜力。
