The University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras is the host site for the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (PR-LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate Program for academic years 209-2011. A seventh cohort of 12 students will be supported during the first two years of graduate studies in a STEM field at UPR, bringing the total number of BD fellowship recipients to 82 since the start of the program in 2003. Fellows will participate in the Support Program that was successfully implemented with the six previous Cohorts, to enhance their academic preparation. A tracking system, designed by PR-LSAMP and in use, will document participant progress, including completion of degree and entering into the workforce, including the professoriate. The BD Program is designed to: 1) prepare the next generation of scientists for careers in research and/or university teaching in Puerto Rico or the Mainland US and, 2) increase the nation?s pool of well-prepared, competent scientists with diverse views. Increasing the pool of STEM faculty members with Ph.D. degrees in Puerto Rico?s undergraduate institutions will have a long-term impact, particularly when taking into consideration the cumulative effect of graduates? life careers in academia and the thousands of students whose learning will be impacted.

波多黎各大学 - 里奥 - 里奥·皮埃拉斯大学是路易斯·斯托克斯联盟少数群体参与（PR-LSAMP）桥梁博士学位课程209-2011的主机。自2003年开始该计划以来，在UPR的STEM领域的前两年将支持第七组12名学生，这将使BD奖学金的总数达到82。这是在以前的六个队列中成功实施的，以增强他们的学术准备。 PR-LSAMP和使用中设计的跟踪系统将记录参与者的进度，包括完成学位并进入包括教授在内的劳动力。 BD计划旨在：1）准备下一代科学家在波多黎各或美国大陆的研究和/或大学教学方面的职业和/或美国的大学教学，以及2）增加国家，拥有充分准备的，有能力的科学家，拥有多种多样的科学家视图。通过博士学位增加STEM教师的库。波多黎各的学士学位会产生长期影响，特别是在考虑毕业生的累积效应时？学术界的生活职业和成千上万的学习将受到影响。
