The performance site for this LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate Activity is California State University, Los Angeles, one of the 23 California State University campuses included in the California State University-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP). The project will provide a master’s level “bridge” to doctoral-level study for a cohort of 12 graduates of LSAMP undergraduate programs. The Master’s-level experience is designed to remediate the underrepresentation of students from minoritized populations in STEM by supporting their access, persistence, and competencies to advance to e and succeed in Ph.D. programs. In addition to providing substantial financial support to enable students to focus full time on a two-year program of Master’s-level course work and research, the project will provide an integrated set of activities designed to advance BD students toward completion of doctoral-level studies. Activities include: (1) monthly and semester meetings with the BD Project Director to monitor student progress and provide comprehensive advisement; (2) a workshop series focused on information/tools needed for adjustment to and success in graduate school; (3) writing support; (4) weekly professional seminars; (5) community and network building activities to further develop their social identities and sense of belonging; (6) “connecting” Fellows to doctoral programs through collaborations with faculty and programs at Ph.D. institutions; (7) assistance with applications to Ph.D. programs, financial aid and fellowship programs; and (8) career coaching and mentoring activities that will further provide the fellows with emotional and social support in their path to a Ph.D.The project will contribute to advancing the NSF’s Mission “To promote the progress of science: “to advance the national health, prosperity and welfare, or to secure the national defense” and its 2018-2022 Strategic Plan to: “foster the growth of a more capable and diverse research workforce and advance the scientific and innovation skills of the nation.” The project will increase the number of Ph.D.-level scientists by identifying and developing the talent of students who would be unlikely to pursue graduate-level study at either the masters or the doctorate level without the project’s support. This includes students with deficits in their baccalaureate credentials and others with competitive credentials for direct entry into Ph.D. programs, but who are otherwise unable or hesitant to do so. For these students, the Masters-level program serves as a necessary "bridge" to doctoral-level study. Since the pool of LSAMP baccalaureate recipients includes a high proportion of individuals from minoritized communities, the project anticipates that most, if not all of the participants will be students from these groups. Therefore, the project will contribute significantly to broadening participation in academe and science research.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.

本次 LSAMP 通往博士桥梁活动的表演地点是加州州立大学洛杉矶分校，该项目是加州州立大学路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (CSU-LSAMP) 所包含的 23 个加州州立大学校园之一。为 LSAMP 本科课程的 12 名毕业生提供从硕士水平到博士水平学习的“桥梁”。硕士水平的体验旨在纠正来自 LSAMP 学生代表性不足的问题。除了提供大量财政支持，使学生能够专注于两年制硕士课程之外，还支持他们进入 STEM 的机会、坚持和能力，以取得成功。课程工作和研究方面，该项目将提供一套综合活动，旨在促进 BD 学生完成博士水平的学习。活动包括：(1) 每月和学期与 BD 项目总监举行会议，以监控学生的进度并提供全面的建议。 (2) 一个；研讨会系列重点关注研究生院适应和成功所需的信息/工具；(4) 每周专业研讨会；(5) 社区和网络建设活动，以进一步发展他们的社会身份和归属感； ）通过与博士机构的教师和项目合作，将研究员与博士项目联系起来；（7）协助申请博士项目、经济援助和奖学金项目；将进一步为学员提供情感和社交该项目将有助于推进 NSF 的使命“促进科学进步：“促进国民健康、繁荣和福利，或确保国防”及其 2018-2022 年使命战略计划：“培养更有能力和多样化的研究队伍，提高国家的科学和创新技能。该项目将通过识别和培养学生的才能来增加博士级科学家的数量。”谁不太可能追求在没有项目支持的情况下进行硕士或博士级别的研究生学习，这包括学士学位证书不足的学生和其他具有直接进入博士学位课程的竞争证书的学生，但他们无法或犹豫不决。因此，对于这些学生来说，硕士课程是通往博士课程的必要“桥梁”，因为 LSAMP 学士学位获得者中很大一部分来自少数群体，因此该项目预计这一点。大多数（如果不是全部）参与者都将是这些群体的学生，因此，该项目将为扩大学术和科学研究的参与做出重大贡献。该奖项是 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值进行评估，被认为值得支持。以及更广泛的影响审查标准。
