Rochester Biomedical Experience Evaluation
Monroe Community College asked C-PREP to evaluate the effectiveness of their Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program, a New York State Education Department funded project designed to improve academic achievement in science and technology among college students who are minority.
In the 2004-2005 academic year, Monroe Community College was awarded a $624,386, three-year Bridges to the Future grant from the National Institutes of Health for The Rochester Biomedical Experience. There are three objectives of The Rochester Biomedical Experience:
- Objective 1: Increase the
number of underrepresented minority students enrolled in and graduating
from biomedical-related science programs at Monroe Community College.
- Objective 2:Improve the academic skills and motivation of the “biomedical Scholars’
enrolled in science programs at Monroe Community College.
- Objective 3:Prepare second-year “Biomedical Scholars” at Monroe community College
to transfer to biomedical science baccalaureate programs at Rochester
Institute of Technology. C-PREP is conducting an evaluation of the
project that is (i) summative of the current project and (ii) formative
for an upcoming application for funding to continue the project.
