University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP) Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program is a collaborative effort between the National Science Foundation and University of Texas System higher education institutions to increase the quality and quantity of underrepresented minorities matriculating to completion of the doctoral degree in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields (STEM) fields. The program at UTEP prepares students to meet the challenges of completing doctoral programs of study and for academic careers in higher education. In addition, the program develops leadership skills necessary for success in the STEM workforce nationally and internationally. Integrating research and education, the BD fellows will be nurtured over two years as a cohorted community that will benefit from a program of academic and personal development activities as well as social support to sustain their commitment and success to the terminal Ph.D. STEM degree. Program activities include linkages to the Howard University/UTEP Alliances for Graduate Education in the Professoriate (HUTEP) as well as other NSF-funded research and education projects, including programs that provide mentoring opportunities for undergraduate students. A total of 12 students from underrepresented minority populations in STEM fields will participate in the program at UTEP during the 2009-2010 academic years. Results from this support will broaden the participation of African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Pacific-Islanders in the STEM pipeline, U. S. workforce and abroad. Results from rigorous evaluation of the project will add to the body of literature in the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority students in STEM fields.

德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校(UTEP)路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与桥梁(BD)计划是美国国家科学基金会和德克萨斯大学系统高等教育机构之间的一项合作计划，旨在提高未被充分代表的少数民族入学的质量和数量，以完成科学、技术、工程和数学领域(STEM)的博士学位。UTEP的这一项目为学生准备迎接完成博士课程和在高等教育中从事学术生涯的挑战。此外，该项目还培养在国内和国际STEM员工队伍中取得成功所必需的领导技能。结合研究和教育，BD研究员将在两年内被培养为一个队列社区，将受益于一项学术和个人发展活动以及社会支持计划，以维持他们对末期博士学位的承诺和成功。计划活动包括与霍华德大学/UTEP研究生教育联盟(HUTEP)以及其他由NSF资助的研究和教育项目的联系，包括为本科生提供指导机会的计划。在2009-2010学年期间，共有12名来自STEM领域未被充分代表的少数族裔的学生将参加UTEP的该项目。这种支持的结果将扩大非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民和太平洋岛民在STEM管道、美国劳动力和海外的参与。对该项目进行严格评估的结果将增加关于招收和留住STEM领域中代表性不足的少数族裔学生的文献。
