The Colorado Alliance for Minority Participation (CO-AMP) has thus far matriculated four cohorts ofunderrepresented minority students through the LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) program. The firstthree cohorts matriculated at Colorado State University (CSU), the lead institution for the CO-AMPalliance, whereas the fourth BD cohort matriculated at Colorado School of Mines (CSM). The fifth cohort,if funded, will matriculate at the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver). As the only urban,research-intensive institution in the Rocky Mountain States, CU Denver offers a unique trainingexperience in a wide range of STEM disciplines.Program Goals: A cohort of 12 BD fellows will be recruited into this program for each of two years usinga wide range of strategies. The Program Coordinator, along with members of the Management Team, willadvertise the BD program using Web-based media, flyers, brochures and direct communication.Particular attention will be given to 1) current CU Denver STEM undergraduate and Masters students, 2)other higher education institutions in the CO-AMP alliance, 3) four Native American tribes in Coloradoand the Four Corners region, 4) all LSAMP alliances nationwide, 5) national meetings such as SACNASand ABRCMS, and 6) visits to targeted programs and electronic postings to GradSchools.com.The Program will be administered by a Management Team, which includes individuals who arenationally recognized for their efforts in diversity and inclusion. The Team will meet regularly with allBD fellows to assess their overall satisfaction with the program as well as gather feedback for areas ofimprovement. Importantly, once per semester, individual one-on-one meetings will be held with each ofthe BD fellows to assess their academic progress and career development. These academic progress andmentoring meetings will continue throughout the entire program of study for all BD fellows.The program is designed to provide a series of career development courses and workshops to facilitatetheir successful completion of the program and preparation for careers in academia and relatedprofessions. Examples of such career development programs include: teaching preparation, ethicalconduct of research, scientific writing, and a broad array of related career development workshops.Furthermore, regularly scheduled meetings of the local BD cohort, as well as annual meetings with all BDfellows in the CO-AMP alliance will build a sense of community and serve as a venue for sharingexperiences and best practices.Intellectual Merit: As the only urban, research intensive institution in the Rocky Mountain states, CUDenver offers a unique training experience in a wide range of STEM disciplines. Although theManagement Team will make the BD cohort aware of all 29 STEM-related PhD training programs, BDfellows will be encouraged to matriculate into the following STEM programs where the USA job marketis most promising: Mathematics and Statistical Sciences, Engineering and Applied Sciences, ComputerScience and Engineering, Bioengineering, Computational Biosciences and Structural Biology. Through awell-developed series of career development courses and workshops, coupled with ongoing individualmentoring, the program will strive for successful completion of the PhD degree for all CU Denver BDfellows.Broader Impacts: Although the percentage of underrepresented minority students continues to increaseat the undergraduate level, matriculation into STEM graduate programs still lags behind. Consequently,it is critical to develop programs and mechanisms that encourage underrepresented students tomatriculate into STEM graduate training programs as well as the successful completion of their PhDdegree. Towards that end, this program will provide regularly scheduled mentoring and academicprogression meetings with each BD fellow, career development workshops, teacher preparation courses,local and state-wide community building meetings, and a range of other activities and mentoringapproaches to improve the likelihood of successful completion for their PhD programs. Best practiceswill be applied to other campus-wide recruitment initiatives for underrepresented students, as well aswith other partners in the CO-AMP alliance and national LSAMP alliances. Ultimately, the long-termgoal of this and similar programs is to train and prepare a larger number of underrepresented studentsfor careers in the STEM disciplines, where they will serve as role models for the ongoing matriculation ofunderrepresented students in STEM graduate programs and professions.

迄今为止，科罗拉多州少数族裔参与的联盟（CO-AMP）已通过LSAMP桥通往博士学位（BD）计划，已统治了四个少数族裔学生。第一三个队列在科罗拉多州立大学（CSU）近乎学院，该大学是共同协助的主要机构，而科罗拉多州矿业学院（CSM）的第四个BD队列。如果资助的第五人队列将在科罗拉多大学丹佛分校（CU丹佛）入学。作为洛矶山脉国家唯一的城市研究密集型机构，Cu Denver在各种STEM学科中提供了独特的培训经验。广泛的策略。该计划协调员与管理团队的成员一起使用基于Web的媒体，传单，小册子和直接通信来将BD计划定为BD计划。将引起1）目前的CU CU Denver STEM本科生和硕士学位，2）其他更高共同AMP联盟的教育机构，3）科罗拉多州和四个角落地区的四个美国原住民部落，4）全国所有LSAMP联盟，5）国家会议，例如Sacnasand abrcms，以及6）访问有针对性的计划和电子邮政的访问。该团队将定期与AllBD研究员开会，以评估他们对该计划的总体满意度，并收集有关中事领域的反馈。重要的是，每学期一次，将与每个BD研究员举行一对一的会议，以评估他们的学术进步和职业发展。这些学术进步和室内会议将在所有BD研究员的整个研究计划中继续进行。该计划旨在提供一系列职业发展课程和讲习班，以促进成功完成该计划和学术界职业和相关职业的准备工作。此类职业发展计划的示例包括：教学准备，研究的道德规范，科学写作和一系列相关的职业发展研讨会。Furthermore，定期安排的本地BD队列会议，以及与CO.CO的所有BDFellows的年度会议 - AMP联盟将建立一种社区意识，并成为共享特权和最佳实践的场所。智能优点：作为落基山州的唯一城市，研究密集型机构，Cudenver在各种STEM纪律中提供独特的培训经验。尽管他们的管理团队将使BD队列了解所有29个与STEM相关的博士学位培训计划，但鼓励BDFellows纳入以下STEM计划中，美国就业市场最有前途的工作：数学和统计科学，工程学和应用科学，计算机科学，计算机科学，和计算机科学，和计算机科学，和计算机科学，和计算机科学，和和计算机科学，和和计算机科学，和计算机科学，和计算机科学和应用科学和统计学。工程，生物工程，计算生物科学和结构生物学。通过Awell开发的一系列职业发展课程和研讨会，再加上持续的个人计费，该计划将努力成功完成所有CU Denver BDFellows的博士学位学位。 ，进入STEM研究生课程的入学仍然落后。因此，开发计划和机制的机制至关重要，这些计划和机制鼓励代表性不足的学生在STEM研究生培训课程中进行统治以及成功完成其PhDdegree。为此，该计划将与每个BD研究员，职业发展研讨会，教师准备课程，本地和州范围的社区建筑会议以及一系列其他活动和指导进展，以提高成功的可能性，以提供定期安排的指导和学术发展会议他们的博士课程完成。最佳实践将适用于其他校园范围内的招聘计划，并与共同AMP联盟和国家LSAMP联盟的其他合作伙伴以及其他合作伙伴一起应用。最终，该计划和类似计划的长期目标是培训和准备更多代表性不足的STEM学科职业生涯，在那里他们将成为STEM研究生课程和职业中持续代表的学生的榜样。
