The University of Texas System Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) proposes to host a Bridge to the Doctorate Program (BD) at the University of Texas at El Paso, the lead institution of the Alliance and the only doctoral research intensive institution in the US with a Mexican American student majority. Twelve highly qualified graduate fellows will be fully funded for the first two years of their graduate studies. This will increase the number of talented students from under-represented minority (URM) groups who will obtain doctoral degrees in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, and upon completion either enter a career in academia or join the technical workforce.Building on the experience gathered from previous BD cohorts at the University of Texas at El Paso and other alliance institutions, the program will include the following critical components: (1) The program will target students at LSAMP institutions with prior undergraduate research experience who enroll in the fast track to the Ph.D. in a STEM discipline. (2) A wide pool of highly qualified applicants who have participated in LSAMP activities as undergraduates and who will begin their graduate studies at UTEP in the fall of 2013 will be solicited. (3) Applicants will be carefully screened; the application process will include a substantial application portfolio followed by personal interviews conducted by the program administrators. (4) Students accepted into the BD program will already have identified a faculty mentor and a research topic or will do so during their first semester as graduate students. (5) Besides full financial support, fellows will receive quality advising and mentoring to help them achieve their academic goals, to give them support in overcoming obstacles to the doctorate, and to prepare them to be knowledgeable and competent professionals. The program directors will also advise the BD fellows to prepare a comprehensive research plan. (6) Eligible BD fellows will apply for continuing support through the NSF Graduate Fellowship Program, the GEM Fellowship program, etc. The proposed program will lead to the enhancement of successful strategies for URM graduate student success that are applicable to other institutions of higher learning with characteristics similar to those of UTEP (urban research university, high proportion of URM enrollment). It will also contribute to the national goal of increasing the number of under-represented minority students in STEM disciplines with terminal degrees in their area of expertise.

德克萨斯大学系统的路易斯·斯托克斯大学少数群体参与联盟（LSAMP）建议在德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校的博士学位课程（BD）举办一座桥梁，该联盟联盟的主要机构和美国唯一的博士研究密集型机构，墨西哥裔美国人的主要阶层。十二位高素质的研究生研究生将在他们的研究生学习的头两年中得到充分的资助。这将增加来自代表性不足的少数群体（URM）群体的才华横溢的学生人数，这些群体将获得科学，技术，工程和数学学科（STEM）学科的博士学位，并在完成学术界的职业或加入技术劳动的职业或以前的BD COHORTS的经验中，将在El pas of Delliance commention commention commontion： （1）该计划将针对LSAMP机构的学生，并具有先前的本科研究经验，他们参加了博士学位。在茎学科中。 （2）将征求一批高素质的申请人，他们将在2013年秋天从事LSAMP活动，并将在2013年秋季在UTEP开始研究生学习。 （3）将仔细筛选申请人；申请过程将包括一个实质性的申请组合，然后进行计划管理员进行的个人访谈。 （4）接受BD计划的学生将已经确定了教师导师和研究主题，或者在第一学期将其作为研究生。 （5）除了充分的财政支持外，研究员还将获得质量咨询和指导，以帮助他们实现学术目标，为他们提供支持，以克服博士学位的障碍，并准备成为知识渊博，有能力的专业人士。该计划主管还将建议BD研究员准备一项全面的研究计划。 （6）符合条件的BD研究员将通过NSF研究生奖学金计划，GEM奖学金计划等申请持续支持。拟议的计划将导致提高URM研究生成功策略的成功策略，这些策略适用于其他与UTEP研究类似的高等教育机构（UTEP研究，URBAN Research Insiversity，URBAR Research of Murm urm intm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm ofm in。这也将促进全国目标，即增加代表性不足的STEM学科中代表性不足的少数族裔学生的数量，并在其专业领域拥有码头学位。
