项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract We propose to proceed with our efforts at San Diego State University to achieving the mission of the Bridges program - to increase the number of underrepresented minority students pursuing careers in biomedical research. SDSU will continue its successful partnership with three local community campuses - San Diego City College, Grossmont College, and Southwestern College - in which 75% of past and current Bridges students have transferred or are preparing to transfer to SDSU or other four year university. During the past three years, Bridges students transferring to SDSU have participated in research programs at the NIH, The Scripps Research Institute, Harvard, MIT, UT Southwestern, U. of Wisconsin, and other major research sites. Students have published papers in peer- reviewed papers, presented their research at national meetings, graduated, and entered postgraduate studies. The goal of the SDSU Bridges program will now be to train 18 students a year from the three partnering colleges to complete their bachelors degree training, despite high GPA requirements for transfer and entry into the impacted biology major at SDSU. The outcome of the program will be to produce five cohorts (`08, `09, '10, '11, '12) of highly competent students; among those transferring to SDSU, students will have a 90% retention rate in their baccalaureate degree programs. The Bridges Program has helped students achieve their academic objectives through enrichment courses in laboratory skills, research ethics, biomedical research techniques, technical writing, chemistry, microbiology, calculus, and a colloquium addressing minority health care disparities. An innovative enrichment module just added to the program introduces trainees to computational biology, including bioinformatics, mathematical physiology, and computer simulation. Continued bridging of students can occur after transfer to SDSU, through its NIH MARC and MBRS programs, and the McNair Scholars Programs, all targeting underrepresented science majors. The progress of Bridges students is tracked from program entry at community college through transfer to SDSU and matriculation to graduate school. Project Narrative: Relevance to public health: the SDSU Bridges program will prepare a growing population of college students who are introduced to emerging concepts in modern biomedical research. These concepts include an understanding of the underlying molecular and cellular biology of healthy and diseased states of the body's systems (particularly the heart and circulation), and the tools that will be required for 21st century progress in medicine using a multidisciplinary approach employing applied mathematics and computational science. Students will take enrichment courses in laboratory skills, research ethics, experiment design, technical writing, chemistry and biochemistry, and calculus, and participate in a colloquium dealing with disparities in minority health care: why do America's minority populations suffer from higher than average incidences of heart disease, diabetes and cancer? Bridges training thus addresses the needs of diverse populations of Americans.

项目概要/摘要我们建议圣地亚哥州立大学继续努力，以实现桥梁计划的使命 - 增加代表性不足的少数群体的数量从事生物医学研究职业的学生。 SDSU 将继续其成功与三个当地社区校园合作 - 圣地亚哥城市学院、格罗斯蒙特学院和西南学院 - 其中 75% 的过去和现在的 Bridges 学生已转入或正准备转入 SDSU 或其他四年制大学。期间过去三年，Bridges 转学到 SDSU 的学生参加了研究 NIH、斯克里普斯研究所、哈佛大学、麻省理工学院、德克萨斯大学西南分校、美国大学的项目威斯康星州和其他主要研究地点。学生在同行发表论文审阅论文，在全国会议上展示他们的研究成果，毕业并进入研究生学习。 SDSU 桥梁计划的目标现在是培训 18 来自三个合作学院的学生一年完成学士学位尽管转学和进入受影响的生物学领域的 GPA 要求很高，但仍需接受培训圣地亚哥州立大学主修。该计划的结果将是产生五个群体（‘08、‘09、’10、 '11, '12) 高素质学生；在转学到 SDSU 的学生中，学生将拥有学士学位课程的保留率为 90%。桥梁计划有通过实验室强化课程帮助学生实现学术目标技能、研究伦理、生物医学研究技术、技术写作、化学、微生物学、微积分和讨论少数族裔医疗保健差异的研讨会。一个该计划刚刚添加的创新强化模块向学员介绍了计算生物学，包括生物信息学、数学生理学和计算机模拟。转学到 SDSU 后，可以通过其学校继续为学生提供衔接服务 NIH MARC 和 MBRS 计划以及 McNair 学者计划，全部针对理科专业代表性不足。 Bridges 学生的进步跟踪自通过转学到 SDSU 进入社区大学并预科毕业学校。项目叙述：与公共卫生的相关性：圣地亚哥州立大学桥梁计划将为越来越多的大学生做好准备他们了解现代生物医学研究中的新兴概念。这些概念包括了解身体健康和疾病状态的基本分子和细胞生物学系统（特别是心脏和循环），以及 21 世纪进步所需的工具使用应用数学和计算科学的多学科方法进行医学。学生将参加实验室技能、研究伦理、实验设计、技术等方面的强化课程。写作、化学和生物化学以及微积分，并参加讨论处理差异的座谈会少数族裔医疗保健：为什么美国少数族裔的发病率高于平均水平心脏病、糖尿病和癌症？因此，桥梁培训满足了不同人群的需求美国人。
