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将在2008-2010学年赞助其第三批博士学位衔接项目。 该联盟提供的资源，大大有助于目前的努力，以增加少数民族（UREP）科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）博士生的数量，并继续带来研究生教育的改善，这将不仅有助于UREP学生，但所有研究生STEM学生。 结果将有助于增加代表性不足的少数民族准备参加在美国的STEM教授的数量。S.该计划的目标和宗旨是在2008-2010学年招收12名LSAMP桥梁博士生入学：（1）与AGEP和其他NSF和纽约州计划合作，继续建立针对州和国家LSAMP人才库的招聘途径;（二）利用现有的资源和信息，以确定学生能够成功地完成博士学位，并设计和实施一个程序，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，帮助他们成功完成STEM研究生学位，进入并完成博士学习。该项目将增加SUNY LSAMP目前的努力，以建立STEM教育研究生教育领域的研究能力。从研究通往博士学位的桥梁方案中吸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。 吸取的经验教训将得到战略性的完善，以帮助增加在STEM领域成功完成博士学位的少数民族学生的数量，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.
