Alliance for Broadening Participation in STEM NMSU Bridge to the Doctorate VII

新墨西哥州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（NM-LSAMP）博士之桥项目是美国国家科学基金会和新墨西哥州高等教育机构之间的一项合作项目，旨在提高未被充分代表的少数民族在科学、技术、工程和数学领域（STEM）获得博士学位的质量和数量。新墨西哥州立大学的2009-2011年项目，为学生准备迎接完成硕士和博士课程的挑战，最好是为高等教育的学术生涯做好准备。此外，该计划还培养在国内和国际STEM劳动力中取得成功所需的领导技能。将研究与教育相结合，将在两年的时间内培养BD研究员，他们将受益于学术和个人发展活动以及社会支持计划，以保持他们的承诺和成功，最终获得STEM学位。项目活动包括与新墨西哥州立大学综合研究生教育研究和培训（IGERT）以及其他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项目。2009-2011学年，新墨西哥州立大学将有12名来自STEM领域未被充分代表的少数族裔的学生参加该项目。这种支持的结果将扩大西班牙裔和美洲原住民在STEM管道、美国劳动力和海外的参与。该项目的严格评估结果将为STEM领域成功招募和保留代表性不足的少数民族学生的文献增添内容。

New Mexico State University Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (NM-LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program is a collaborative effort between the National Science Foundation and New Mexico 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 2009-2011 program, at New Mexico State University, prepares students to meet the challenges of completing master's and doctoral programs of study preferably 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 cohort 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 STEM degree. Program activities include linkages to the New Mexico State University Integrated Graduate Education in Research and Training (IGERT) 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 the New Mexico State University during the 2009-2011 academic years. Results from this support will broaden the participation of Hispanics and Native Americans in the STEM pipeline, U. S. workforce and abroad. Results from rigorous evaluation of the project will add to the body of literature in successful recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority students in STEM fields.
