The Houston-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Senior Alliance was assembled for its potential to impact a minority majority population in southeast Texas. The alliance is comprehensive, including the country?s largest school district, two community college systems, a comprehensive HBCU and HSI, and the second most ethnically diverse research university in the country. For this proposal, the alliance has unanimously selected the University of Houston to apply for the Bridge to Doctorate Cohort-1. The University of Houston is the US?s second most ethnically diverse research university, and the 23rd largest in the United States. The University of Houston currently offers over 108 baccalaureate, 131 master, and 53 doctoral programs.Though a combination of a strong leadership team, outstanding faculty and staff, a proven track-record for success in diversity, using its leverage in the community, and national standing, the University of Houston plans to use Cohort-1 of the BD grant to:Goal 1 Increase the minority representation in graduate STEM programs at the University of Houston by 25%.Goal 2 Increase the number of Underrepresented Minority PhD degrees granted from the University of Houston by 200-300% (from 2-3 to 6-9) per year at the end of five yearsGoal 3 Promote and motivate more minority students from the UH-LSAMP program to pursue graduate educationGoal 4 Create a university-wide enrichment program for graduate education that focuses on the retention of a diversified graduate student body though the integration of the Next Step workshop, a Deans? Lecture Series on diversity, and the collaborative learning community model to serve as an underlying program of supportIntellectual Merit: The H-LSAMP-BD program uses a proven collaborative learning community model, based on over ten years of experience in implementing such a comprehensive model. This program also uses data drive methods to promote faculty enhancement. Numerous faculty who will serve as mentors to students in this program who will also have active collaborations with several national research centers.Broader Impacts: The program will support students in two colleges, across the departments of Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Earth and Atmospheric Science, Electrical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil Engineering. Furthermore, the university is realigning all research into interdisciplinary research clusters, such as space systems and energy. This program will impact not only a diverse student population, helping to create well-trained minority researchers for academic and industrial jobs, but it will have substantial long-term impact on the US economy. This will happen by providing well-trained minority mentors to future STEM majors, and providing a well trained workforce to help create a new and emerging economy.PROJECT IMPACT This program?s impact is expected to be substantial, both in terms of short and long term goals. It seeks to establish a Collaborative Learning Community for graduate education, a structured mentoring program for undergraduate and graduate students, enhance faculty understanding of diversity issues, and most importantly lay the foundation for long-term change within the University.

休斯顿 - 路易斯·斯托克斯（Houston-Louis Stokes）少数族裔参与高级联盟（Alliance）因影响德克萨斯州东南部少数族裔人口的潜力而受到集会。该联盟是全面的，包括该国最大的学区，两个社区大学系统，一个全面的HBCU和HSI，以及该国第二多元化的研究大学。对于此提案，联盟一致选择了休斯顿大学申请博士学位1的桥梁。休斯顿大学是美国第二大种族多样化的研究大学，也是美国第23位。休斯顿大学目前提供108多个学士学位，131个硕士和53个博士学位。五年结束时，休斯顿大学从200-300％授予的人数不足的少数族裔博士学位（每年为2-3至6-9），每年促进和激励更多的少数族裔学生，从UH-LSAMP课程中促进大学教育4的少数少数学生，从而从事一项大学范围内的教育培训，以培养一项毕业生的毕业生，这是一项多样化的毕业生，该计划是一项多样化的毕业生，否则毕业生的毕业生是一体的毕业生，这是一项多样化的毕业生，该研究既不多。院长？关于多样性的讲座系列和协作学习社区模型，旨在作为支持Intellectual功绩的基础计划：H-LSAMP-BD计划采用了良好的协作学习社区模型，基于实施这种综合模型的十年经验。该程序还使用数据驱动方法来促进教师的增强。 Numerous faculty who will serve as mentors to students in this program who will also have active collaborations with several national research centers.Broader Impacts: The program will support students in two colleges, across the departments of Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Earth and Atmospheric Sc​​ience, Electrical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil Engineering.此外，大学正在将所有研究重新调整到跨学科研究集群中，例如太空系统和能源。该计划不仅会影响多样化的学生人口，有助于创建训练有素的学术和工业工作，而且对美国经济的长期影响会产生重大影响。这将通过为未来的STEM专业提供训练有素的少数族裔导师，并提供训练有素的劳动力来帮助创造一个新的新兴经济。它旨在建立一个为研究生教育建立协作学习社区，这是一项针对本科生和研究生的结构化指导计划，增进了对多样性问题的教师理解，最重要的是为大学内的长期变革奠定了基础。
