Recent statistics show that very few US citizens pursue graduate studies in STEM fields. Of the US citizens that chose to pursue graduate studies in STEM fields a small percentage of these students are from historically underrepresented groups. Of those that chose to pursue graduate studies in STEM fields, there are many factors that enhance or inhibit successful matriculation through the graduate school process. Thus, researchers from the Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence(CAFE'), Florida A&M University, and Prairie View A&M University will work closely with LSAMP BD Program Sites to perform a descriptive research investigation aimed at identifying best practices and lessons learned strategies that can be employed within STEM graduate programs to broaden participation while ensuring student success. As a result of successfully completing this descriptive research investigation, a blueprint for designing and implementing various practices, procedures, and policies proven to ensure the success of broadening participation in STEM graduate education programs will be created. The creation of this blueprint describing best practices and lessons learned will allow valuable information to be shared among STEM graduate program faculty, staff, students, administrators, and other key stakeholders. It is envisioned that this resulting blueprint will become the conduit by which graduate programs can successfully produce the talent needed to fuel the STEM workforce of the future. Hence, this blueprint will serve as a valuable resource to the national STEM community.

最近的统计数据表明，很少有美国公民在STEM领域从事研究生研究。 在选择在STEM领域攻读研究生研究的美国公民中，其中一小部分这些学生来自历史上代表性不足的群体。在选择在STEM领域攻读研究生研究的人中，有许多因素通过研究生院的过程增强或抑制成功入学。因此，佛罗里达州农工大学和草原视图A＆M大学的前进教师中心（CAFE'）的研究人员将与LSAMP BD计划网站紧密合作，以进行描述性研究调查，旨在确定最佳实践和经验教训的策略，这些策略可以成为可以成为的策略在STEM研究生课程中使用，以扩大参与，同时确保学生成功。由于成功完成了这项描述性研究调查，这是设计和实施各种实践，程序和政策的蓝图，这些蓝图将确保扩大参与STEM研究生教育计划的成功。这种蓝图的创建描述了最佳实践和经验教训，将允许在STEM研究生课程，员工，学生，管理员和其他主要利益相关者中共享有价值的信息。 可以预见的是，这种由此产生的蓝图将成为研究生课程可以成功地促进未来型工人所需的人才的渠道。 因此，这种蓝图将成为国家STEM社区的宝贵资源。
