项目摘要

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce by developing highly competitive students from populations underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, 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 PhD matriculation and completion. BD programs implemented in the nation's institutions of higher education contribute to addressing one of the objectives of NSF's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan, namely to "foster the growth of a more capable and diverse research workforce and advance the scientific and innovation skills of the Nation." The vision of this grant is to provide a national model to produce underrepresented scientists and engineers with doctoral degrees in STEM.The performance site for this LSAMP BD Activity is North Carolina A&T State University (NCAT), one of the eight universities included in the North Carolina Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (NCLSAMP) program. This project is designed to attract, retain, and graduate a cohort of underrepresented PhD students in STEM disciplines equipped with career readiness skills and self-efficacy to enter the STEM workforce. This holistic graduate student development model, includes academic and professional skills building for STEM careers alongside targeted activities involving a select combination of evidence-based strategies reflected in the literature on social cognitive career theory, self-efficacy, and STEM research identity. These will be conducted through a combination of competency-based academic success and career readiness workshops and a personalized, culturally reflective mentoring program that connects students with faculty at NCAT and at participating peer institutions. This project will positively impact the retention and graduation rates of STEM graduate students from underrepresented populations in doctoral programs, thus producing a diverse workforce of STEM professionals.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.

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划通过从 STEM 学科中代表性不足的人群中培养具有高度竞争力的学生，帮助大学和学院实现 STEM 劳动力多元化：非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民岛民。 LSAMP 通往博士学位的桥梁 (BD) 活动的目标是提高少数群体中 STEM 研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位的入学和完成。在国家高等教育机构实施的 BD 项目有助于实现 NSF 2018-2022 年战略计划的目标之一，即“促进更有能力和多样化的研究队伍的发展，并提高国家的科学和创新技能。 ”这笔赠款的愿景是提供一个国家模式，培养代表性不足的科学家和工程师，并获得 STEM 博士学位。本次 LSAMP BD 活动的表演地点是北卡罗来纳州 A&T 州立大学 (NCAT)，该大学是北卡罗来纳州包括的八所大学之一卡罗莱纳州路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (NCLSAMP) 计划。该项目旨在吸引、保留和毕业一批在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的博士生，这些学生具备职业准备技能和自我效能感，可以进入 STEM 劳动力队伍。这种全面的研究生发展模式包括 STEM 职业的学术和专业技能建设，以及有针对性的活动，涉及社会认知职业理论、自我效能和 STEM 研究身份文献中反映的基于证据的策略的选择组合。这些活动将通过基于能力的学术成功和职业准备研讨会以及个性化的、文化反思的指导计划相结合来进行，该计划将学生与 NCAT 和参与的同行机构的教师联系起来。该项目将对博士项目中代表性不足人群的 STEM 研究生的保留率和毕业率产生积极影响，从而培养多样化的 STEM 专业人员队伍。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势进行评估，被认为值得支持以及更广泛的影响审查标准。
