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族裔参与联盟 (SUNY LSAMP) 将在 2008-2010 学年赞助其第三批“博士桥梁”(BD) 项目。 该联盟提供的资源极大地协助了当前增加少数族裔 (UREP) 科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 博士生数量的努力，并继续改善研究生教育，这不仅有利于 UREP 学生，而且有利于所有 STEM 研究生。 结果将有助于增加准备参加美国学院和大学 STEM 教授职位的少数族裔人数。该计划的目的和目标是通过以下方式招募 12 名 LSAMP 桥梁博士生，在 2008-2010 学年入读：(1) 与 GEP 和其他 NSF 以及纽约州合作，继续建立针对州和国家 LSAMP 人才库的招聘途径(2)利用现有的资源和信息来确定能够成功完成博士学位的学生，并设计和实施一个计划，帮助学生成功完成两年的STEM研究生学习，并通过将BD学生融入现有的活动和计划网络来进入并完成博士学习，以帮助他们成功完成STEM研究生学位。该项目将加强SUNY LSAMP目前在研究生教育领域STEM教育研究能力建设方面的努力。从“通往博士之桥”项目的研究中汲取的经验教训将被纳入更广泛的系统性变革问题的背景下，并传播给更广泛的受众。 我们将战略性地完善所吸取的经验教训，以帮助增加 STEM 领域中代表性不足的少数族裔学生成功完成博士学位的数量，并最终增加美国准备充分的 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.
