Drexel University, as a representative of the Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (Philadelphia AMP), requests Bridge to the Doctorate funding for a two-year period for a Cohort IX program, to expand and intensify the consortium?s on-going efforts to substantially increase the number of qualified African American, Hispanic and Native American (hereafter referred to as "minority") students entering graduate study in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), attaining doctoral degrees, and moving into the professoriate. The Philadelphia AMP represents a diverse alliance of nine institutions consisting of public and private, 2- and 4-year research and non-research, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and majority institutions.The University of Delaware has been selected to host the Bridge to the Doctorate (BTD) Cohort IX activities because of: 1) the key role it has played in the successful development and implementation of the Alliance?s BTD Cohort I-VIII programs , 2) its continued efforts to leverage the relationship between Majority Institutions and HBCUs as the candidacy pool for the Ph.D. granting institutions, 3) its institution-wide commitment to increase diversity in STEM at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and 4) its advancements in the research enterprise.The goals of Philadelphia AMP's Bridge to the Doctorate (Cohort IX) project are to: (1) recruit twelve students into Master's or Ph.D. degree programs at the University of Delaware; (2) retain these students through the completion of the Master's or Ph.D. program, providing the Master's students with full qualifications for admission into a highly regarded Ph.D. program in their chosen STEM specialty with full financial support; (3) enable the Master?s students? admission and smooth transition into a Ph.D. program; and (4) monitor all student progress through Ph.D. completion into the professoriate and beyond.Intellectual Merit includes management expertise and advancing knowledge and understanding in the STEM fields. The proposed Bridge to the Doctorate (Cohort IX) Program rests on a solid foundation of partnerships, resources, effective practices and experiences derived from sixteen (16) years of collaboration, cooperation and concerted efforts focused on minority student achievement under the current Philadelphia AMP and Bridge to the Doctorate (BTD) Cohort I-VIII programs. In particular, this experience has helped the Alliance's STEM graduate programs mature considerably, to the benefit of all STEM graduate students, not just the BTD Fellows. University of Delaware's successful implementation of Cohort I makes them well qualified to host the proposed Cohort IX project. The proposed effort builds upon the existing infrastructure to advance underrepresented minority students into participation in engineering and the sciences at the highest levels.Broader Impacts include: (1) increasing the number and quality of students from underrepresented groups at AMP institutions completing STEM M.S. and Ph.D.s and entering the professoriate; (2) advancing knowledge in the STEM disciplines through the promotion of research activity and the dissemination of information about best practices used to promote the retention of students from underrepresented groups; and (3) enhancing the infrastructure for research and education through the development of support networks and partnerships within the Philadelphia AMP and beyond.

德雷克塞尔大学（Drexel University）作为大费城地区路易斯·斯托克（Louis）少数群体参与联盟（费城放大器）的代表，请求在两年内为一项同志计划提供两年的博士学位，以扩大和加强联盟的努力，以实质性地增加了较小的人，以促进了非洲人的少数人，'''''''''''''''科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM），获得博士学位，并进入教授。费城放大器代表了由公共和私人，2年和4年的研究以及非研究者，历史上的黑人学院（HBCUS）和多数机构组成的九个机构的多元化联盟。特拉华大学已选择主持与博士学位（BTD）同事活动的桥梁，因为该活动是成功的：同时I-VIII计划，2）它继续努力利用多数机构与HBCU之间的关系，作为博士学位的候选资格池。授予机构，3）在本科和研究生级别的机构范围内提高STEM多样性的承诺，以及4）其在研究企业中的进步。费城AMP AMP桥梁博士学位（COHORT IX）项目的目标是：（1）将十二名学生招募到Master或Ph.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.特拉华大学的学位课程； （2）通过完成硕士或博士学位的完成来保留这些学生。计划，为硕士的学生提供全面的资格，以录取为备受推崇的博士学位。在其选定的STEM专业中的计划，并提供全面的财务支持； （3）启用大师的学生？入学和平稳过渡到博士学位。程序; （4）监视所有学生通过博士学位的进步。完成教授及以后的成就包括管理专业知识，并在STEM领域提高知识和理解。拟议的通往博士学位的桥梁（队列IX）计划基于扎实的合作伙伴关系，资源，有效的实践和经验，这些实践和经验源自16（16）年的合作，合作和协调的努力，重点是少数群体学生在费城AMP和博士学位（BTD）同学I-VIII I-VIII I-VIII计划下的少数学生成就。特别是，这种经验帮助联盟的STEM研究生课程大大成熟，这使所有STEM研究生都受益，而不仅仅是BTD研究员。特拉华大学成功实施了队列I，使他们有资格主持拟议的队列IX项目。拟议的努力以现有的基础设施为基础，以使代表性不足的少数族裔学生参与工程和最高级别的科学。BRODER的影响包括：（1）增加AMP机构的学生的数量和质量和质量。博士学位并进入教授； （2）通过促进研究活动和传播有关最佳实践的信息来促进STEM学科的知识，该信息用于促进学生从代表性不足的群体中保留学生； （3）通过在费城放大器及其他地区建立支持网络和合作伙伴关系来增强研究和教育的基础设施。
