BASELINE DATA AND OBJECTIVES
2
INSTRUCTIONS
a Provide the number and percent of URMs and
non-URMs who transfer to a 4-year institution in
biomedically relevant sciences from each
participating community college. Usually this is
an average data over a 3-5 year period. The
institutional transfer is calculated by the
number of students who actually transfer to a
4-year institution in biomedically relevant
sciences divided by the number of potential
transfer students. The potential transfer
students may be defined as those undergraduate
students in biomedically relevant sciences who
are enrolled in an associate degree program,
taking 12 or more credit hours and have declared
an intent to transfer, etc., depending upon the
institutional setting. b The objectives must be
measurable, relative to the current baseline and
in context of NIH expectations (see FOA for
details) c Provide the number and percent of
Bridges students in the program who transferred
to a 4-year institution in biomedically relevant
sciences during the previous funding cycle. The
transfer is calculated by the number of Bridges
students who actually transferred divided by the
total number of Bridges students in the program.
Provide the collective data for the entire
program (not the individual partner community
college) d Provide the number and percent of
Bridges students in the program who completed the
baccalaureate degree in biomedically relevant
sciences during the previous funding cycle. The
degree completion is calculated by the number of
Bridges students who actually completed the
baccalaureate degree divided by the total number
of transferring Bridges students. Provide the
collective data for the entire program (not the
individual partner community college)
