The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through the development of highly competitive students from groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaska Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The goal of the LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity is to increase the quantity and quality of STEM graduate students from underrepresented populations, with emphasis on Ph.D. matriculation and completion. BD programs implemented in the nation's institutions of higher education contribute to addressing one of the objectives in NSF's 2014-2018 Strategic Plan, namely to "integrate education and research to support development of a diverse STEM workforce with cutting-edge capabilities." The vision of this grant is to provide a national model to produce underrepresented scientists and engineers with doctoral degrees in STEM.Drexel University (DU) serves as host of a Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) project within the Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation. The DU BD activity employs a multifaceted model that integrates research, education, and mentoring to address challenges underrepresented students face in doctoral programs. As such this project seeks to (1) recruit twelve students into Ph.D. degree programs at Drexel University; (2) develop each student in their science or engineering discipline through individual and group mentorship and graduate professional development activities; (3) engage and retain these students through the completion of the Ph.D., and (4) monitor all student progress through Ph.D. completion into the professoriate and/or industry. The program components are executed via academic coursework for scientific and technical competency that prepares BD students for the doctoral degree qualifying and candidacy examinations; substantive cutting-edge laboratory research experiences beginning in the first-year to expose fellows to research that can form the basis for their doctoral dissertation; professional development experiences such as workshops, seminars and/or conferences to help students to develop the ancillary skills needed for personal and professional success; facilitated interaction with faculty and peers to fully integrate students into research groups; opportunities for students to present their research nationally and/or internationally to promote their engagement with the larger scientific and technical community; and opportunities for student reflection, and the development of coping skills to contextualize the pressures and challenges associated with graduate study.

路易斯·斯托克·斯托克（Louis Stok）少数族裔参与（LSAMP）计划通过从历史上不足以占主体竞争的学生的发展来帮助大学和学院多样化的STEM劳动力：非裔美国人，非洲裔美国人，阿拉斯加土著人，美洲印第安人，美国印第安人，西班牙裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人，夏威夷原住民夏威夷原住民和太平洋生物学生物。 LSAMP桥通往博士学位（BD）活动的目标是增加来自代表性不足人群的STEM研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位。入学和完成。 该国高等教育机构实施的BD计划有助于解决NSF 2014 - 2018年战略计划中的目标之一，即“将教育和研究整合起来，以支持多样化的STEM劳动力与最先进能力的发展”。 这笔赠款的愿景是提供一个国家模式，以在STEM.DREXEL University（DU）的博士学位生产代表性不足的科学家和工程师，是向大费城地区路易斯·斯托克（Louis Stokes Louis Stokes Louis Stokes）在少数群体参与的大费城地区的桥梁（BD）项目的主持人。 DU BD活动采用多方面的模型，该模型将研究，教育和指导整合起来，以应对代表性不足的学生在博士课程中面临的挑战。 因此，该项目试图（1）将十二名学生招募到博士学位。 Drexel大学的学位课程； （2）通过个人和小组指导以及研究生专业发展活动来发展他们的科学或工程学科； （3）通过博士学位完成并保留这些学生，（4）监视所有学生通过博士学位的进步。完成教授和/或行业。 该计划组成部分是通过学术课程来执行的，以获得科学和技术能力，该课程为博士学位的资格和候选资格考试做好准备；从第一年开始将研究员暴露于研究的研究，这可以构成其博士学位论文的基础；专业发展经验，例如研讨会，研讨会和/或会议，以帮助学生发展个人和专业成功所需的辅助技能；促进与教师和同龄人的互动，以将学生完全融入研究小组；学生有机会在国内和/或国际上介绍他们的研究，以促进他们与更大的科学和技术社区的参与；和学生反思的机会，以及应对技巧的发展，以将与研究生学习相关的压力和挑战背景下。
