Texas A&M University System?s (TAMUS) Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program is a collaborative effort between the National Science Foundation the TAMU College of Science and the College of Engineering. The program prepares students to meet the challenges of completing doctoral programs of study and for academic careers in higher education and develops leadership skills necessary to succeed as young students from underrepresented populations in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (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 NSF-funded Integrative Graduate Education in Research Training (IGERT) in the area of Next Generation Computations and Analytical Tools for Material Science and student mentoring opportunities under several undergraduate research and education projects. Leadership training, proposal writing and training in ethics are modules within the two-year fellowship program.A total of 12 students from underrepresented minority populations in STEM fields will participate in the program at Texas A&M University 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.

德克萨斯 A&M 大学系统 (TAMUS) 路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 博士桥梁 (BD) 项目是美国国家科学基金会、TAMU 理学院和工程学院之间的合作项目。该项目帮助学生做好准备，迎接完成博士课程和高等教育学术生涯的挑战，并培养来自国内外科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 劳动力中代表性不足的年轻学生取得成功所需的领导技能。 BD 研究员将研究和教育融为一体，将在两年内作为一个群体进行培养，他们将受益于学术和个人发展活动计划以及社会支持，以维持他们对最终博士学位的承诺和成功。 STEM 学位。计划活动包括与 NSF 资助的下一代材料科学计算和分析工具领域的综合研究生教育研究培训 (IGERT) 的联系以及多个本科生研究和教育项目下的学生指导机会。 领导力培训、提案撰写和道德培训是为期两年的奖学金计划的模块。在 2009-2010 学年期间，共有 12 名来自 STEM 领域代表性不足的少数群体的学生将参加德克萨斯农工大学的该计划。 这项支持的结果将扩大非裔美国人、西班牙裔人、美洲原住民和太平洋岛民对 STEM 管道、美国劳动力和国外的参与。 该项目的严格评估结果将丰富有关 STEM 领域代表性不足的少数族裔学生的招募和留用的文献资料。
