The University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras is the host site for the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (PR-LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate Program for academic years 209-2011. A seventh cohort of 12 students will be supported during the first two years of graduate studies in a STEM field at UPR, bringing the total number of BD fellowship recipients to 82 since the start of the program in 2003. Fellows will participate in the Support Program that was successfully implemented with the six previous Cohorts, to enhance their academic preparation. A tracking system, designed by PR-LSAMP and in use, will document participant progress, including completion of degree and entering into the workforce, including the professoriate. The BD Program is designed to: 1) prepare the next generation of scientists for careers in research and/or university teaching in Puerto Rico or the Mainland US and, 2) increase the nation?s pool of well-prepared, competent scientists with diverse views. Increasing the pool of STEM faculty members with Ph.D. degrees in Puerto Rico?s undergraduate institutions will have a long-term impact, particularly when taking into consideration the cumulative effect of graduates? life careers in academia and the thousands of students whose learning will be impacted.

波多黎各-里奥皮德拉斯大学是路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（PR-LSAMP）桥梁博士学位课程209-2011学年的主办网站。第七批12名学生将在UPR STEM领域研究生学习的前两年获得支持，使BD奖学金获得者的总数自2003年该计划开始以来达到82人。研究员将参加与前六个队列成功实施的支持计划，以提高他们的学术准备。由PR-LSAMP设计并使用的跟踪系统将记录参与者的进展，包括完成学位和进入劳动力市场，包括教授职位。BD计划旨在：1）为下一代科学家在波多黎各或美国大陆的研究和/或大学教学事业做好准备，2）增加国家？我们拥有一批准备充分、有能力、观点多样的科学家。增加拥有博士学位的STEM教师人数。在波多黎各有多少学位的本科院校将产生长期的影响，特别是考虑到毕业生的累积效应？学术界的终身职业和成千上万的学生，他们的学习将受到影响。
