The University of Puerto Rico (UPR) Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (PR-LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program is a collaborative effort between the National Science Foundation, higher education and other partners to increase the quality and quantity of underrepresented minorities matriculating to completion of the doctoral degree in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields (STEM) fields, particularly nanoscience and nanotechnology fields. The program at the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras prepares students to meet the challenges of completing doctoral programs of study and for academic careers in higher education. In addition, the program develops leadership skills necessary for success in the STEM workforce nationally and internationally. Integrating research and education, the BD fellows will be nurtured over two years as a cohorted community that will benefit from a program of academic and personal development activities as well as social support to sustain their commitment and success to the terminal Ph.D. STEM degree. Program activities include linkages to the Puerto Rico Alliances for Graduate Education in the Professoriate(Alabama AGEP), the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research through the Institute for Functional Nanomaterials (IFN) as well as other NSF-funded research and education projects, including programs that provide mentoring opportunities for undergraduate students. A total of 12 students from underrepresented minority populations in STEM fields will participate in the program at UPR during the 2009-2010 academic years. Results from this support will broaden the participation of African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Pacific-Islanders in the STEM pipeline, U. S. workforce and abroad. Results from rigorous evaluation of the project will add to the body of literature in the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority students in STEM fields.

波多黎各大学（UPR）路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与（PR-LSAMP）桥梁（BD）计划是国家科学基金会，高等教育与其他合作伙伴之间的合作努力，以提高代表性不足的质量和数量少数民族入学到填写科学，技术，工程和数学领域（STEM）领域的博士学位，尤其是纳米科学和纳米技术领域。波多黎各 - 里奥·皮埃拉斯大学的计划为学生做好准备，以应对完成博士学位课程和高等教育学术职业的挑战。 此外，该计划在国家和国际上发展了STEM劳动力成功所必需的领导技能。整合研究和教育，BD研究员将在两年内作为一个群体社区培养，该社区将受益于学术和个人发展活动计划以及社会支持计划，以维持其对终端博士学位的承诺和成功。茎学位。课程活动包括与教授教育（阿拉巴马州Agep）的波多黎各联盟的联系，这是通过功能纳米材料研究所（IFN）以及其他NSF资助的研究和教育项目，包括实验计划，旨在刺激竞争性研究这为本科生提供了指导机会。 在2009-2010学年，来自STEM领域中代表性不足的少数人口的12名学生将参加该计划。 这种支持的结果将扩大非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔，美洲原住民和太平洋岛屿人士在STEM管道，美国劳动力和国外的参与。 对项目的严格评估结果将增加文献的体系，以招募和保留代表性不足的少数族裔学生在STEM领域。
