Meeting national needs in the public health sector and particularly in research areas within the biomedical and behavioral science will depend on the growth and diversification of the workforce entering this sector. Community colleges educate large numbers of students, especially underrepresented minorities (racial, ethnic, first-generation college, and economically disadvantaged). With specific attention to their unique needs, a greater percentage of this population has the potential to complete four-year degrees and graduate programs and become researchers in the health sciences. The Virginia Bridges Program aims to increase the number of underrepresented (UR) Virginia residents pursuing degrees and research career paths in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. A bridge between New River (NR) and Northern Virginia (NOVA) Community Colleges and Virginia Tech (VT) will generate interest and skills in the biomedical/behavioral sciences among UR students, beginning their first year at NR and NOVA through engaging research experiences. Additional research opportunities combined with academic support programs and mentoring will promote persistence, achievement, and timely progress through their degrees. Through reflective practices that span all four undergraduate years, Bridges students will define their own academic path.

满足国家在公共卫生部门，特别是在研究领域的需求 生物医学和行为科学将取决于劳动力的增长和多样化 进入这个领域。社区学院教育大量学生，特别是 代表性不足的少数群体（种族、民族、第一代大学和经济上 处于不利地位）。特别关注他们的独特需求，其中更大比例的人 人口有潜力完成四年制学位和研究生课程并成为 健康科学研究人员。弗吉尼亚桥梁计划旨在增加 代表性不足 (UR) 弗吉尼亚州居民在生物医学和行为学方面攻读学位和研究职业道路 科学。新河 (NR) 和北弗吉尼亚 (NOVA) 社区学院之间的桥梁 弗吉尼亚理工大学（VT）将激发人们对生物医学/行为科学的兴趣和技能 UR 学生通过参与研究开始在 NR 和 NOVA 的第一年 经验。额外的研究机会与学术支持计划相结合 指导将促进他们的坚持、成就和及时取得学位。 通过跨越本科四年的反思实践，桥梁学生将定义 自己的学术道路。
