2008 NCLSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate Fellowship Program at North Carolina State University

北卡罗来纳州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（NCLSAMP）在北卡罗来纳州州立大学的博士学位（BD）项目是国家科学基金会与联盟研究和教育机构之间的一项合作努力，以促进来自代表性不足的少数民族人口的12名科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）毕业后学生的跨学科交流。 将研究和教育相结合，学生将在两年的时间内从事尖端的研究经验。该计划提供了两年的学习，导致干博士学位的教育支持的财政和成本。计划活动提供学生毕业的机会和联系，以北卡罗来纳州OPT-艾德教授和其他研究生协会研究生教育联盟以及通过STEM博士学位支持研究生教育的承诺。STEM领域将在2008-2010学年期间参加北卡罗来纳州州立大学的该项目。 这一支持的结果将扩大非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民和太平洋岛民在STEM管道中的参与。S.劳动力和国外。 对该项目进行严格评估的结果将增加STEM领域代表性不足的少数民族学生的招聘，保留和毕业率的文献。

The North Carolina Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (NCLSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program at North Carolina State University is a collaborative effort between the National Science Foundation and the alliance research and educational institutions to facilitate increased cross-disciplinary exchange for 12 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)post-baccalaurate students from underrepresented minority populations. Integrating research and education, students will engage in cutting edge research experiences over a two-year period. The program provides financial and cost of education support for two years of study leading to the STEM doctoral degree.Program activities provide student graduate opportunities and linkages to the North Carolina OPT-ED Alliance for Graduate Education in the Professoriate and other graduate associations as well as the commitment of support for graduate education through the STEM doctoral degree.A total of 12 students from underrepresented minority populations in STEM fields will participate in the program at North Carolina State University during the 2008-2010 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, retention and graduation rates of underrepresented minority students in STEM fields.
