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 for the production of underrepresented scientists and engineers with doctoral degrees in STEM. Louisiana State University (LSU) serves as host of a Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) project within the Louis Stokes - Louisiana Alliance for Minority Participation. The LSU 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 a cohort of twelve highly qualified Fellows from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds employing evidence-based recruitment and selection strategies; (2) retain and support Fellows through doctoral candidacy, and prepare them for successful completion of the PhD and professional research careers by providing academic and research support, and professional development opportunities; and (3) expand and institutionalize best mentoring strategies for underrepresented PhD students. The program components are executed via an educational model that integrates mentoring and research into recruitment and retention strategies. This proposal implements additional requirements that BD Fellows apply for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). Toward this end, scientific communication, especially written communication, will become a larger focus for this cohort. The use of Individual Development Plans (IDPs) will be refined and a new Bridge Orientation will be implemented. Evidence-based recruitment and retention strategies will be employed. The proposal includes a transformative design that incorporates inter- and intra-institutional alliances to improve the quality of STEM education at the doctoral level. This project will implement evidence-based mentoring strategies designed to support student matriculation and tools to promote self-efficacy toward PhD candidacy and doctoral attainment.

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划通过培养来自历史上 STEM 学科代表性不足的群体的极具竞争力的学生，帮助大学和学院实现 STEM 劳动力多元化：非裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、美洲印第安人、西班牙裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民。 LSAMP 通往博士学位的桥梁 (BD) 活动的目标是提高代表性不足人群中 STEM 研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位。入学和完成。在美国高等教育机构实施的 BD 项目有助于实现 NSF 2014-2018 年战略计划的目标之一，即“整合教育和研究，支持培养具有尖端能力的多元化 STEM 劳动力”。 这笔赠款的愿景是为培养具有 STEM 博士学位的代表性不足的科学家和工程师提供一个国家模式。路易斯安那州立大学 (LSU) 是路易斯斯托克斯 - 路易斯安那少数族裔参与联盟内的博士桥梁 (BD) 项目的主办方。路易斯安那州立大学 BD 活动采用了集研究、教育和指导为一体的多方面模式，以解决代表性不足的学生在博士课程中面临的挑战。因此，该项目旨在 (1) 采用循证招聘和选拔策略，从代表性不足的种族和民族背景中招募 12 名高素质研究员； (2) 通过博士候选人留住和支持研究员，并通过提供学术和研究支持以及专业发展机会，为他们成功完成博士学位和专业研究生涯做好准备； (3) 扩大针对代表性不足的博士生的最佳指导策略并将其制度化。 该计划的组成部分是通过一种教育模式来执行的，该模式将指导和研究融入到招聘和保留策略中。 该提案实施了 BD 研究员申请 NSF 研究生研究奖学金计划 (GRFP) 的附加要求。为此，科学传播，特别是书面传播，将成为这一群体的更大关注点。将完善个人发展计划（IDP）的使用，并将实施新的桥梁方向。 将采用基于证据的招聘和保留策略。该提案包括一项变革性设计，将机构间和机构内联盟结合起来，以提高博士水平的 STEM 教育质量。该项目将实施旨在支持学生入学的循证指导策略，以及提高博士候选人和获得博士学位的自我效能的工具。
