Bridge to the Doctorate: Mississippi-LSAMP, Cohort 15The Louis Stokes Mississippi Alliance for Minority Participation (LSMAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) program is a program that is committed and determined to aggressively answer the call for increasing the number of underrepresented minority PhD recipients in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The continued success of our LSMAMP-BD program is based upon the premise that the provision of adequate financial support for participants throughout their MS degree matriculation and purposeful mentoring will increase the likelihood that the BD Fellows will bridge to and complete doctoral studies. Funding for Cohort Fifteen (15) will provide the necessary resources to support an additional 12 BD Fellows to bridge to their STEM PhD program. The vision of the LSMAMP-BD program is to train BD Fellows who go beyond just gathering information and knowledge to applying that knowledge in innovative ways and contributing to the diversity of culture and ideas necessary for making innovative discoveries.The Louis Stokes Mississippi Alliance for Minority Participation (LSMAMP), led by Jackson State University (JSU), will support Cohort 15 of the Bridge to the Doctorate. The goal of the LSMAMP Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) program focuses on increasing the quality and quantity of underrepresented minorities (URM) earning MS degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and bridging to PhD programs to pursue and earn PhDs in a STEM discipline. This goal is consistent with the vision of NSF. These students ultimately enter the workforce and contribute to the growth of the US economy. The LSMAMP-BD is privileged to make significant contributions in assisting the NSF in its goals of creating an inclusive workforce which is diverse in talent, skills, and in experience. This has been accomplished through the creation and utilization of a comprehensive program that develops a Cohort of BD Fellows to not only complete their MS degree requirements, but also the PhD. Furthermore, through the continual use of our "best practices" and "lessons learned," our BD program takes advantage of a two-pronged approach that combines rigorous training in the laboratory with compassionate and firm mentoring from research advisors and the BD Program's Principal Investigator and Director. Also, mentoring from invited experts, seminars, speaker series, journal club, and participation in scientific conferences contribute to the effectiveness and graduation of our students. Faculty who mentor our BD Fellows have external funding and they are actively engaged in research activities that boosts our student's readiness for PhD programs. Equally, our students are exposed to soft skills such as scientific writing, public speaking, creativity, innovation, determination, patience, confidence, focus, and adaptability. These qualities are more complex and challenging to quantify and develop in a laboratory or an environment that may not be inclusive. The LSMAMP-BD Program specializes in developing the "hard" and "soft" skills of our BD Fellows and at the same time takes advantage of the cohort concept of student engagement and development by creating a climate of community for all participants.This project is jointly funded by the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.

通往博士学位的桥梁：密西西比州-lsamp，15 The Louis Stokes Mississippi少数群体参与（LSMAMP）桥梁（BD）计划是一项计划，该计划致力于积极地回答呼吁，以增加对科学，技术，工程学，工程学和数学的少数人的少数人的数量。我们的LSMAMP-BD计划的持续成功是基于这样的前提：在MS学位入学和有目的的指导过程中为参与者提供足够的财政支持将增加BD研究员将桥接和完整博士研究的可能性。 15（15）的队列资金将提供必要的资源，以支持额外的12个BD研究员来桥接其STEM博士学位计划。 LSMAMP-BD计划的愿景是训练BD研究员，他们不仅仅收集信息和知识以创新的方式运用这些知识，并为创新发现的文化和思想的多样性做出贡献。路易斯·斯托克斯·斯托克斯·斯托克斯·斯托克斯·斯托克斯（来LSMAMP桥通往博士学位（BD）计划的目的是提高代表性不足的少数民族（URM）的质量和数量，即在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）中获得MS学位，并桥梁桥梁以在STEM纪律中追求和赚取博士学位。这个目标与NSF的愿景一致。这些学生最终进入了劳动力，并为美国经济增长做出了贡献。 LSMAMP-BD荣幸地为帮助NSF创造了一支具有多样性的人才，技能和经验的劳动力的目标，做出了重大贡献。 这是通过创建和利用一项综合计划来实现的，该计划不仅要完成BD研究员，不仅可以满足其MS学位要求，还可以完成博士学位。此外，通过持续使用我们的“最佳实践”和“经验教训”，我们的BD计划利用了两种方便的方法，将实验室中的严格培训与研究顾问和BD计划的首席研究员和董事的富有同情心和公司指导相结合。此外，受邀专家，研讨会，演讲者系列，期刊俱乐部的指导以及参加科学会议的指导有助于我们学生的有效性和毕业。指导我们BD研究员的教师有外部资金，他们积极从事研究活动，从而促进了我们学生对博士学位课程的准备。同样，我们的学生会接受软技能，例如科学写作，公开演讲，创造力，创新，决心，耐心，信心，专注和适应能力。这些品质在实验室或可能不包容的环境中量化和发展更为复杂和具有挑战性。 LSMAMP-BD计划专门针对BD研究员的“硬”和“软”技能，同时通过为所有参与者创造社区气氛来利用学生参与和发展的概念，该项目由路易斯·斯托克斯（Louis Stokes）促进少数民族参与计划（LSAMP）的计划和既定能力的研究（EPORTIATS）培训（EPORS）和EPORSITITIATS（EPORS）（EPORS）（EPORS）（EPORS）（EPORS）（EPOR）（EPOR）（EPOR）（EPOR）。使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准，通过评估被认为值得支持。
