DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, Irvine (UCI) Minority Science Programs (MSP) is nationally recognized for developing innovative programs to improve the academic excellence and increase the number of underrepresented (UR) community college (CC), undergraduate and graduate students being trained as the next generation of biomedical research scientists. The objective of the Bridges to Baccalaureate is to strengthen partnerships with four local community colleges, Cerritos College, Fullerton College, Orange Coast College and Santa Ana College; to jointly develop academic programs to mentor, motivate and prepare UR students enrolled at partner CC to transfer to science majors at four-year universities and pursue biomedical research careers. Major components of the project are 1) integrated inter-institutional programs to identify potential candidates at CC for academic preparation and research training positions at UCI, 2) establish collaborations between faculty at CC and UCI to develop and deliver courses designed to enhance learning and critical thinking, 3) informational outreach to underrepresented CC students about careers in biomedical sciences, 4) academic preparation in challenging courses to be transferred to UCI and 5) advanced research training. Faculty workshops and focus groups will serve to improve inter-institutional articulation in science courses and preparation of students by discussing curricular sequence, normalization of curricula between institutions, use of technology in the classroom, instructional strategies that inculcate an interest in pursuit of advanced studies in the sciences and assessment. Over 30 UCI faculty with experience training underrepresented students will serve as research mentors. Bridges participants will experience the excitement of generating new knowledge in the course of conducting research. Research training components for Bridges participants include 1) a faculty seminar series, 2) a journal club to introduce scholars to criticl reading of current biomedical literature, 3) workshops on responsible conduct of research, laboratory safety, and principles, instrumentation and techniques used in biomedical research, 4) direct participation in original research conducted under the direction of UCI faculty mentors, 5) preparation of papers, oral presentations and posters, and 6) presentation of papers at local and national conferences.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学欧文分校 (UCI) 少数民族科学项目 (MSP) 因开发创新项目而获得全国认可，以提高学术卓越性并增加代表性不足 (UR) 社区学院 (CC)、本科生的数量研究生被培训为下一代生物医学研究科学家。通往学士学位的桥梁的目标是加强与四所当地社区学院（Cerritos College、Fullerton College、Orange Coast College 和 Santa Ana College）的合作伙伴关系；共同开发学术项目，指导、激励和准备在合作伙伴 CC 就读的 UR 学生转入四年制大学的科学专业并从事生物医学研究职业。该项目的主要组成部分是 1) 综合机构间项目，以确定 CC 的潜在候选人，以在 UCI 进行学术准备和研究培训职位，2) 在 CC 和 UCI 的教师之间建立合作，开发和提供旨在增强学习和关键能力的课程思考，3) 向代表性不足的 CC 学生提供有关生物医学科学职业的信息外展，4) 为转移到 UCI 的挑战性课程进行学术准备，以及 5) 高级研究培训。教师讲习班和焦点小组将通过讨论课程顺序、机构之间课程的标准化、课堂上技术的使用、培养学生追求高级研究兴趣的教学策略，来改善科学课程的机构间衔接和学生的准备。科学和评估。超过 30 名具有培训弱势学生经验的 UCI 教师将担任研究导师。 Bridges 参与者将体验在研究过程中产生新知识的兴奋。 Bridges 参与者的研究培训内容包括 1) 教师研讨会系列，2) 期刊俱乐部，向学者介绍当前生物医学文献的批判性阅读，3) 关于负责任的研究行为、实验室安全以及研究中使用的原理、仪器和技术的研讨会。生物医学研究，4) 直接参与在 UCI 教师导师指导下进行的原创研究，5) 准备论文、口头报告和海报，以及 6) 在地方和国家会议上展示论文。
