项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): EPCC's RISE to the Challenge Program Summary El Paso Community College (EPCC) is the largest Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) located on the US-Mexico Border. Almost nine thousand students enroll in transferable Biology and Chemistry courses per year. The student population is very interested in health and environmental issues that affect the region. EPCC has been a pioneer in getting students involved in biomedical research and in providing the resources for students to enter the Ph.D. pipeline. The goals of EPCC's RISE to the Challenge Program are 1) to continue providing talented EPCC students with the tools to succeed and excel in their freshman and sophomore-level math and science courses, 2) to continue strengthening the research knowledge and skills of the students and faculty with special emphasis in biomedical and behavioral research, and 3) to increase the number of minority and disadvantaged students that graduate with an Associates degree and transfer to a four-year institution with the skills necessary to succeed in college and to complete the requirements for a Ph.D. The objectives are: 1) to enhance and enrich the Biology and Chemistry curriculum with innovative instructional strategies including Supplemental Instruction, Peer-Led Team Teaching and technology to develop student's higher learning skills, 2) to enhance student competencies in Mathematics utilizing supplemental instruction and a multidisciplinary approach, 3) to continue providing year-round research internships for select talented freshman and sophomores, 4) to increase the number of students participating and presenting at national professional meetings, 5) to increase the number of research publications by RISE student participants, 6) to continue providing students with intensive tutoring and advising, and 7) to strengthen the biomedical science learning community and support networks established during the first two cycles of MBRS-RISE funding. EPCC's RISE TO THE CHALLENGE NARRATIVE The US-Mexico Border Region faces unique environmental and health challenges and is one of the most medically underserved regions in the US. El Paso Community College (EPCC) is the largest community college located on the US-Mexico Border and an institution that responds to the needs of the international community. EPCC's RISE to the Challenge Program will provide the resources to generate a cadre of biomedical researchers with a vested interest and the skills to conduct biomedical research and contribute to the improvement of the quality of life on the border

描述（由申请人提供）：EPCC 的 RISE to the Challenge 计划摘要埃尔帕索社区学院 (EPCC) 是位于美墨边境最大的西班牙裔服务机构 (HSI)。每年有近九千名学生报名参加可转学的生物学和化学课程。学生群体对影响该地区的健康和环境问题非常感兴趣。 EPCC 一直是让学生参与生物医学研究并为学生攻读博士学位提供资源的先驱。管道。 EPCC 的 RISE to the Challenge 计划的目标是 1) 继续为有才华的 EPCC 学生提供在大一和大二数学和科学课程中取得成功并取得优异成绩的工具，2) 继续加强学生的研究知识和技能和特别重视生物医学和行为研究的教师，以及 3) 增加少数族裔和弱势学生的数量，他们毕业时获得副学士学位，并转入四年制院校，并具备在大学取得成功和完成学业所需的技能博士学位的要求目标是：1) 通过创新的教学策略（包括补充指导、同伴主导的团队教学和技术）来加强和丰富生物和化学课程，以培养学生的更高学习技能，2) 利用补充指导和指导来提高学生的数学能力。多学科方法，3) 继续为精选的有才华的大一和大二学生提供全年研究实习，4) 增加参加全国专业会议和发表演讲的学生数量，5) 增加RISE 学生参与者的研究出版物数量，6) 继续为学生提供强化辅导和建议，7) 加强在 MBRS-RISE 资助的前两个周期中建立的生物医学科学学习社区和支持网络。 EPCC 应对挑战的叙述美墨边境地区面临着独特的环境和健康挑战，也是美国医疗服务最匮乏的地区之一。埃尔帕索社区学院（EPCC）是位于美墨边境最大的社区学院，也是一所响应国际社会需求的机构。 EPCC 的 RISE to the Challenge 计划将提供资源，培养一批具有既得利益和技能的生物医学研究人员，以进行生物医学研究，并为改善边境生活质量做出贡献
