2008 SUNY LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate: Cohort 3 at Stony Brook

纽约州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟(SUNY LSAMP)将在2008-2010学年资助第三批攻读博士学位的学生。该联盟提供的资源极大地帮助了当前的努力，以增加代表不足的少数族裔(UREP)科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)博士生的数量，并继续改善研究生教育，这不仅将帮助UREP学生，也将帮助所有STEM研究生。该计划的目标和目标是通过以下方式在2008-2010学年招收12名LSAMP通向博士生的桥梁：(1)与AGEP以及其他NSF和纽约州计划合作，继续建立针对州和全国LSAMP池的招聘途径；(2)利用现有资源和信息确定能够顺利完成博士学位的学生，并设计和实施一项计划，通过将BD学生纳入现有的活动和计划，帮助学生成功完成两年的STEM研究生学习，进入并完成博士学习，帮助他们成功完成STEM研究生学位。该项目将加强纽约州立大学LSAMP目前在研究生教育领域建设STEM教育研究能力的努力。从博士课程的研究中学到的经验教训将被放在更广泛的系统性变化问题的背景下，并向更广泛的受众传播。将从战略上改进吸取的经验教训，以帮助增加STEM领域中未被充分代表的少数民族学生成功完成博士学位的数量，并最终增加美国训练有素的STEM专业人员的数量。

The State University of New York Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SUNY LSAMP) will sponsor its third cohort of Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) during academic years 2008-2010. The alliance provides resources that greatly assist current efforts to increase the number of underrepresented minority (UREP) science, technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) doctoral students and continue to bring about improvements in graduate education that will help not only UREP students but all graduate STEM students. Results will serve to increase the number of underrepresented minorities prepared to participate in the STEM professoriate at U. S. colleges and universities.The goals and objectives of the program are to recruit 12 LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate students for matriculation in academic years 2008-2010 by:(1) Continuing to build recruitment pathways that target the state and national LSAMP pool in collaboration with AGEP and other NSF and New York State programs;(2)Using existing resources and information to identify students able to successfully complete doctoral degrees and to design and implement a program that helps students successfully complete two years of STEM graduate study and enter and complete doctoral study by integrating BD students into the existing network of activities and program to help them successfully complete a STEM graduate degree.The project will add to current efforts by SUNY LSAMP to build research capacity in STEM education in the area of graduate education. The lessons learned from the study of the Bridge to the Doctorate Program will be put into the context of broader issues of systemic change and disseminated to a broader audience. Lessons learned will be strategically refined to help increase the number of underrepresented minority students in STEM fields who successfully complete doctoral degrees and eventually increase the number of well-prepared STEM professionals in the United States.
