The primary aim of the proposed Cohort XI Texas A&M University System Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (TAMUS LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BTD) program is to increase the pool of science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) PhDs among underrepresented minority (URM) groups at TAMU and to create a cohesive community of graduate students across different disciplines within the university. Our goal is to foster academic success in a cohort of first-time URM STEM graduate students, by developing their readiness and encouraging eagerness to complete STEM doctoral degrees and by preparing them to take their places as leaders in interdisciplinary research and in academia. As such, objectives to carry out the program's goals include (1) retention of fellows into doctoral programs with funding after completion of the NSF BTD program, (2) preparation to meet the challenges of completing doctoral programs of study and for possible academic careers in higher education, and (3) leadership skill development necessary to succeed as young URM professionals upon completion of doctoral programs of study.This will be achieved through collaborations among the College of Science (COS), College of Engineering (COE), the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (COALS), and the College of Geosciences (COG) at Texas A&M University (TAMU). Twelve first-time graduate students from underrepresented minority (URM) groups, in five departments in the COS, 12 in COE, 14 in COALS, and 5 in COG will be selected as BTD fellows. The Fellows will be nurtured for two years as a cohorted community benefiting from a program of academic and personal development activities and social support, to sustain their commitment and success to their degree programs and advancement toward doctoral programs by the end of their second year. The BTD students, with differing STEM disciplines and a common purpose, will share coordinated resources and intellectually enriching group activities with each other, and also with the larger population of STEM, minority and other graduate students at TAMU, to the benefit of all.Beyond the intellectual impact of BTD, the program will enhance the infrastructure of research and education by advancing pursuit of graduate and doctoral STEM degrees.

拟议的XI XI德克萨斯农工大学系统系统的主要目的路易斯·斯托克斯（Louis Stokes）少数民族参与（Tamus LSAMP）桥梁（BTD）计划是增加科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）的少数少数派中的科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM） （URM）塔姆（Tamu）的小组，并建立一个在大学内不同学科的研究生的凝聚力社区。 我们的目标是通过建立准备就绪，鼓励他们渴望完成STEM博士学位，并准备将他们作为跨学科研究和学术界的领导者，在首次URM STEM研究生中促进学术成就。因此，实现该计划的目标的目标包括（1）NSF BTD计划完成后资助的研究员保留在博士课程中，（2）准备应对完成博士学位课程的挑战，并为可能的学术职业提供可能的学术职业。高等教育，以及（3）在完成博士学位课程后成为年轻的URM专业人员所必需的领导技能发展。这将通过科学学院（COS），工程学院（COE）之间的合作来实现。德克萨斯农工大学（TAMU）的农业与生命科学（煤）和地球科学学院（COG）。来自代表性不足的少数民族（URM）团体的十二名首次研究生，在COS的五个部门，COE 12个部门，14个煤炭中的14个部门，COG中的5名将被选为BTD Fellows。研究员将被培养两年，作为一个同队的社区，从学术和个人发展活动和社会支持计划中受益，以在第二年结束之前维持其对学位课程的承诺和成功，并提高博士课程。 BTD学生具有不同的STEM学科和共同的目的，将共享协调的资源和智力丰富的小组活动，以及与Tamu的STEM，少数群体和其他研究生的人口更大，以使所有人受益。 BTD的智力影响，该计划将通过促进研究生和博士词干学位来增强研究和教育的基础设施。
