Drexel University, as a representative of the Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (Philadelphia AMP), requests Bridge to the Doctorate (BTD) funding for a two-year period for a Cohort X 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 New Jersey Institute of Technology has been selected to host the Bridge to the Doctorate Cohort X activities because of: 1) the key role it has played in the successful development and implementation of the Alliance's BTD Cohort I-IX programs, 2) its institution-wide commitment to diversity in STEM at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and 3) its advancements in the research enterprise.The goals of Philadelphia AMP's Bridge to the Doctorate (Cohort X) project are to: (1) recruit twelve students into Master's or PhD degree programs at the New Jersey Institute of Technology; (2) retain these students through the completion of the Master's or PhD program, providing the Master's students with full qualifications for admission into a highly regarded PhD program in their chosen STEMspecialty with full financial support; (3) enable the Master's students' admission and smooth transition into a PhD program; and (4) monitor all student progress through PhD 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 X) program rests on a solid foundation of partnerships, resources, effective practices and experiences derived from seventeen (17) 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-IX 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. This synergy, which would continue with the proposed Cohort X program, leverages NSF's investment in a powerful and innovative way. The proposed effort builds upon the existing infrastructure to advance underrepresented minority students into participation in engineering and the sciences at the highest levels. Philadelphia AMP has centered its efforts on catalyzing changes in institutional, departmental, and organizational culture and practices in order to achieve sustainable and significant increases in recruitment, retention, and degree attainment in STEM disciplines for minority students.

德雷克塞尔大学（Drexel University）作为大费城地区路易斯·斯托克·斯托克（Louis stok）少数群体参与（费城放大器）的代表，请求为两年的同伙X计划提供给博士学位（BTD）的资金，以扩大和加强该财团的不断努力，以实质性地提高少数人的少数人，并引起了非洲人的少数人（Hissem and American American）的数量科学，技术，工程和数学研究生研究（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，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。新泽西州技术研究所已被选中，以启用了IT和IS IT IT IT IT IT的桥梁，以下是：1）在以下方面启用了IT和IT IT IT IT IT的桥梁。计划，2）在本科和研究生级别的STEM多样性的机构范围内的承诺，以及3）其在研究企业中的进步。费城AMP的“博士学位桥梁”（COLATE X）项目的目标是：（1）招募十二名学生进入新约翰·伊斯兰（New Jersey Institute of Technology of Technology of Technology o. （2）通过完成硕士或博士学位课程的完成来保留这些学生，从而为硕士的学生提供全面的资格，并在他们选择的STEMSCIALTY中获得备受推崇的博士学位课程，并提供全部财务支持； （3）使硕士学生的入学和平稳过渡到博士课程； （4）监测所有学生通过博士完成的进步，并在教授中及以后。智能优点包括管理专业知识，并在STEM领域中提高知识和理解。拟议的通往博士学位的桥梁（队列X）计划取决于伙伴关系，资源，有效的实践和经验的扎实基础，这些实践和经验是从十七（17）年的合作，合作和协调的努力中，侧重于少数群体学生成就，这些学生在当前的费城AMP和桥梁（BTD）同胞（BTD）I-IX方案下。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。这种协同作用将继续进行拟议的队列X计划，以强大而创新的方式利用NSF的投资。拟议的努力是建立在现有的基础设施上，以使代表性不足的少数民族学生参与工程和最高水平的科学。费城放大器集中在促进机构，部门和组织文化和实践的变化上，以实现少数群体STEM学科的招聘，保留和学位成就的可持续性和显着提高。
