The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative recruitment and retention strategies and experiences in support of groups historically under-represented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity provides support for postbaccalaureate studies in STEM programs leading to the STEM doctoral degree. The University of Delaware (UD), within a National Science Foundation (NSF) designated Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), is the host site for the 2016-2018 BD program for the Greater Philadelphia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation under the leadership of Drexel University. The program supports a graduate student cohort of 12 underrepresented minority (URM) STEM Ph.D. students from LSAMP campuses across the nation. The BD Activity provides extensive training in specific STEM disciplines as well as professional development and guidance that promote peer mentoring and leadership in the scientific community. Students receive rigorous academic and research training experiences that support completion of the Ph.D. and the transition to a competitive career in academia and industry. Over the duration of the project and beyond, the BD program at UD serves to increase the number and quality of students from underrepresented groups completing STEM Ph.D. degrees and entering the professoriate. Evaluation research from the project's implementation has the potential to address the following questions: (1) Beyond Bridge to the Doctorate funded program activities, what are the different methods being used by specific graduate STEM departments and why are certain ones more effective than others in increasing the capacity of specific graduate STEM departments to produce more readily well-qualified underrepresented minority doctoral STEM degree recipients? (2) How will engaging the faculty research advisors of the fellows as a collective group on a regular basis to review scholarly productivity of the individual fellows have an impact on the mentoring experience of the participants and their progression to doctoral completion?The long-term impact of the BD activity is reflected in America's STEM workforce, both in academia and in industrial research and development. By nurturing the future professoriate, as well as the scientific workforce, the value added is seen in the visibility of minorities in science and engineering, increasing representation and providing role models and motivation for the next generation.

路易斯·斯托克·斯托克（Louis Stoks）参加少数群体参与（LSAMP）计划（LSAMP）计划，通过他们的努力大大增加了成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的高质量学位课程的努力，帮助大学和学院多样化STEM劳动力。特别强调通过创新的招募和保留策略和经验来转变STEM教育，以支持STEM学科的历史不足的群体：非洲裔美国人，阿拉斯加人，美洲印第安人，美国印第安人，西班牙裔美国人，夏威夷原住民夏威夷人和太平洋岛民。通往博士学位（BD）活动的桥梁为导致STEM博士学位的STEM课程研究提供了支持。特拉华大学（UD）在国家科学基金会（NSF）指定的实验计划（EPSCOR）的指定实验计划中，是大费城路易斯·斯托克斯联盟2016 - 2018年BD计划在德雷克塞尔大学领导下的少数派参与。该计划支持12个代表性不足的少数民族（URM）STEM博士的研究生队列。来自全国LSAMP校园的学生。 BD活动为特定的STEM学科以及专业发展和指导提供了广泛的培训，从而促进了科学界的同伴指导和领导。学生获得严格的学术和研究培训经验，以支持博士学位的完成。以及在学术界和工业中的竞争职业的过渡。在整个项目及以后的期限内，UD的BD计划有助于增加填写STEM博士学位的代表性不足小组的学生的数量和质量。学位并进入教授。该项目实施的评估研究有可能解决以下问题：（1）超越博士学位资助的计划活动的桥梁，特定研究生STEM部门使用的不同方法是什么，为什么某些人比其他人更有效地在特定研究生STEM部门增加了更容易获得较容易获得的较容易获得的较不合格的少数族裔STEM博士学位？ （2）定期与研究员的教师研究顾问作为集体小组，以审查各个研究员的学术生产力对参与者的指导经历以及他们向博士完成的进步？在美国的STEM劳动中，无论是在学术界和工业研究和发展中，BD活动的长期影响都会反映出BD活动的长期影响。通过培养未来的教授以及科学劳动力，在科学和工程学中少数群体的可见性中可以看到增值，从而增加了代表性，并为下一代提供了榜样和动力。
