The performance site for the 2014 California State University-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity is California State University, Los Angeles. This BD activity will contribute to advancing NSF's FY 2011-2016 Strategic Plan, which aims to: "prepare and engage a diverse STEM workforce motivated to participate at the frontiers." Additionally it will increase the number of Ph.D. level scientists by identifying and developing the talent of students who would be unlikely to pursue graduate-level study at either the Master's or the doctorate level without NSF LSAMP support. California State University, Los Angeles provides a Master's level "bridge" to doctoral-level study for a cohort of 12 graduates of LSAMP undergraduate programs. These students are from groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines. Although the American scientific research enterprise has been well-served by the intellectual diversity of its scientists and engineers, greater participation of women, persons with disabilities, and persons from racial/ethnic groups that have historically been underrepresented in STEM is essential to the continued health and vitality of science. These populations are largely untapped sources of intellectual talent and bring a diversity of insights and perspectives to the research enterprise. This BD activity will contribute significantly to broadening participation in academe and scientific research.The Master's-level experience at California State University, Los Angeles is designed to increase participant persistence and competencies in STEM and their advancement to Ph.D. programs. In addition to providing financial support to enable students to focus full time on a two-year Master's program, the project provides an integrated set of activities designed to advance BD students toward completion of doctoral level studies in STEM. In addition to engaging participants in formal course work, BD students will participate in a two-year mentored research experience. Faculty mentoring of participants is a major component of this BD Activity. CSU-LSAMP remains committed to the propositions that (1) given appropriate support, most students can be successful; (2) increasing the number of Ph.D. scientists and engineers requires that "additional" students (i.e., students who are not already admitted to and engaged in Ph.D. programs) be recruited to and prepared for doctoral-level study; and (3) broadening participation in the STEM professoriate and scientific leadership requires that a greater number of URGs be prepared for Ph.D. training at highly competitive research universities.

2014年加州州立大学-路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（CSU-LSAMP）通往博士桥梁（BD）活动的演出地点是加州州立大学洛杉矶分校。这项 BD 活动将有助于推进 NSF 的 2011-2016 财年战略计划，该计划的目标是：“准备并吸引一支多元化的 STEM 员工队伍，积极参与前沿领域的工作。” 此外，它将增加博士学位的数量。通过识别和培养那些在没有 NSF LSAMP 支持的情况下不可能攻读硕士或博士学位的学生的才能，来提高科学家水平。 加州州立大学洛杉矶分校为 LSAMP 本科课程的 12 名毕业生提供从硕士水平到博士水平学习的“桥梁”。 这些学生来自历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的群体。尽管美国科学研究事业因其科学家和工程师的知识多样性而受益匪浅，但妇女、残疾人和历史上在 STEM 中代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的更多参与对于持续健康至关重要和科学的生命力。这些人群很大程度上是尚未开发的智力人才来源，为研究事业带来了多样化的见解和观点。这项 BD 活动将为扩大学术和科学研究的参与做出重大贡献。洛杉矶加州州立大学的硕士水平经验旨在提高参与者在 STEM 方面的毅力和能力，并促进他们升读博士学位。程序。 除了提供财政支持以使学生能够全日制学习两年的硕士课程外，该项目还提供了一套综合活动，旨在促进 BD 学生完成 STEM 的博士水平学习。 除了让参与者参与正式的课程作业外，BD 学生还将参与为期两年的指导研究体验。教师对参与者的指导是本 BD 活动的一个主要组成部分。 CSU-LSAMP 仍然致力于以下主张：(1) 给予适当的支持，大多数学生都可以取得成功； （二）增加博士人数科学家和工程师要求招募“额外”学生（即尚未被录取并从事博士课程的学生）并为博士水平的学习做好准备； (3) 扩大对 STEM 教授和科学领导力的参与需要更多的 URG 为博士学位做好准备。在竞争激烈的研究型大学接受培训。
