The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Western Alliance to Expand Student Opportunities (WAESO) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program, under the leadership of Arizona State University, incorporates a sequence of supervised program activities in which selected fellows will participate under the unifying themes of Biodesigned and Sustainable Bridges to the Doctorate. The activities involve, in addition to traditional departments, the interdisciplinary Biodesign Institute, the Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI) and the urbanization research effort within the Global Institute of Sustainability (GIS). Program activities are designed to assist students in progressing forward in their research and in obtaining an early realization of the many benefits that materialize after obtaining the doctorate. There will also be a program emphasis in mentoring these students to apply for Sloan, Ford, NASA and NSF Graduate Fellowships for support as they continue in their studies. The goal of the program is to bridge the number of underrepresented minority students pursuing doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines. This two-year fellowship-research program involves a cohort of 12 selected students from all STEM disciplines.

在亚利桑那州立大学的领导下，路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟西部扩大学生机会联盟（WAESO）博士之桥项目（BD）包含一系列监督项目活动，选定的研究员将在生物设计和可持续的博士之桥统一主题下参与。除了传统的院系外，这些活动还涉及跨学科的生物设计研究所、数学和理论生物学研究所（MTBI）以及全球可持续发展研究所（GIS）内的城市化研究工作。项目活动旨在帮助学生在研究中取得进展，并在获得博士学位后早日实现许多利益。该项目还将重点指导这些学生申请斯隆、福特、美国宇航局和美国国家科学基金会研究生奖学金，以支持他们继续学业。该项目的目标是弥合少数族裔学生在STEM学科攻读博士学位的人数不足的问题。这个为期两年的奖学金研究项目涉及从所有STEM学科中选出的12名学生。
