There is an increasing demand for a highly-skilled and diverse science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce to maintain US innovation and global competitiveness. To create such a workforce one of the most important barriers that must be addressed is the severe under-representation of minority students in STEM graduate education. The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts by 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 underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Bridge-to-Doctorate (BD) program at the University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas), which is part of the University of Texas System LSAMP, will address this critical issue by providing 12 incoming PhD students from underrepresented minority (URM) groups with substantial fellowships, mentoring and professional development activities to enable their successful transition from undergraduate programs to complete a PhD in a STEM field. The Fellows will undertake STEM research projects within the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences and the School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication. The BD Program at UT Dallas also seeks to change the institutional culture by creating new support programs for URM students, a new URM student recruitment and visitation weekend, faculty mentoring resources, and improve the visibility highly-talented and motivated URM students and alumni. Thus this program will not only benefit this cohort of BD Fellows but also lead to increased numbers of URM students in STEM who successfully complete their doctoral degrees at UT Dallas and successfully transition into workforce in the long term.The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas), which is part of the University of Texas (UT) LSAMP, Bridge-to-Doctorate (BD) Program will support underrepresented minority (URM) students in completing doctoral degrees in STEM and will develop best practices that increase success for these students. These best practices will build on the experiences by our partner in the UT LSAMP. This BD Program will contribute to the understanding of the doctoral and graduate education of URM students. Throughout the program, formative, as well as summative, data will be employed to determine which interventions, such as improved mentoring and enrichment and professional development activities, enable students from URM groups to successfully transition from undergraduate programs to the completion of a PhD in a STEM field. It will also determine how these activities positively impact the faculty mentors and advisors. These interventions will enable faculty to identify and develop the mentoring skills needed to best support URM students and to better understand the benefits and opportunities URM students bring to STEM doctoral programs. This program will contribute to a diverse, innovative and globally competitive workforce as envisioned by the America COMPETES Act and related initiatives, such as those in the State of Texas.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

为了保持美国的创新和全球竞争力，对高技能和多样化的科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 劳动力的需求不断增长。要创建这样一支劳动力队伍，必须解决的最重要障碍之一是少数族裔学生在 STEM 研究生教育中的代表性严重不足。路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划通过显着增加成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科高质量学位课程的学生数量，协助大学和学院实现 STEM 劳动力多元化。特别强调通过创新的招募和保留策略和经验来改变 STEM 教育，以支持历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的群体：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。德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校 (UT Dallas) 的博士桥梁课程 (BD) 项目是德克萨斯大学系统 LSAMP 的一部分，该项目将通过为来自代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 的 12 名即将入学的博士生提供解决这一关键问题的机会团体提供大量奖学金、指导和专业发展活动，使他们能够从本科课程成功过渡到完成 STEM 领域的博士学位。研究员将在自然科学和数学学院、埃里克·琼森工程和计算机科学学院、行为和脑科学学院以及艺术、技术和新兴传播学院开展 STEM 研究项目。德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校的 BD 项目还寻求通过为 URM 学生创建新的支持计划、新的 URM 学生招募和访问周末、教师指导资源以及提高高素质和积极主动的 URM 学生和校友的知名度来改变机构文化。因此，该计划不仅将使这批 BD 研究员受益，而且还会导致越来越多的 STEM 专业 URM 学生在 UT 达拉斯分校成功完成博士学位，并从长远来看成功过渡到劳动力市场。 德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校 (UT达拉斯）是德克萨斯大学 (UT) LSAMP 博士桥梁 (BD) 计划的一部分，将支持代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生完成 STEM 博士学位，并将开发最佳实践以提高这些学生的成功率。这些最佳实践将建立在我们 UT LSAMP 合作伙伴的经验之上。该 BD 项目将有助于理解 URM 学生的博士和研究生教育。在整个项目中，将采用形成性和总结性数据来确定哪些干预措施，例如改进的指导和丰富以及专业发展活动，使 URM 小组的学生能够成功地从本科课程过渡到完成博士学位。 STEM 领域。它还将确定这些活动如何对教师导师和顾问产生积极影响。这些干预措施将使教师能够确定和发展为 URM 学生提供最佳支持所需的指导技能，并更好地了解 URM 学生为 STEM 博士课程带来的好处和机会。该计划将按照《美国竞争法案》和相关举措（例如德克萨斯州的举措）的设想，为多元化、创新性和全球竞争力的劳动力做出贡献。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
