LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate

NYC LSAMP Bridge to the DoctorateStatement of ObjectivesThe Bridge to the Doctorate proposal的目标是招募和留住最近的LSAMP STEM毕业生进入研究/学术生涯，导致博士学位的完成。℃下纽约市联盟将跟踪12个这样的人进入博士课程，并最终professoriate.Methods要employedRecent Tier 1 LSAMP毕业生从全国LSAMP毕业生池，和LSAMP毕业生谁已经完成了不超过一个全日制学期相当于研究生学习应构成将被邀请申请的桥梁博士课程组。LSAMP高年级本科生将继续被允许参加桥梁活动。桥梁学生将是一个积极的保留和专业充实计划，将包括学术和研究指导，GRE研讨会，圆桌讨论与先进的博士生，教师和管理人员，并出席和参与当地和国家的专业会议的受益者。与CUNY研究生中心相关的大型教师库和CUNY研究所/中心主任将担任桥梁教师/研究顾问。该联盟将继续与布鲁克海文国家实验室合作，在学年和夏季学期提供尖端的研究培训。国际研究经验也将被纳入所有选定的BD学者的培训。预期结果预计，纽约LSAMP桥梁计划将增加101名学生的博士学位。拟议活动的更广泛影响研究和教育的一个关键基础设施组成部分是有能力和忠诚的学生。桥计划将继续作为一种催化剂，提高对研究生的财政支持，以吸引美国公民进入STEM研究管道，数量足以维持国家STEM企业。LSAMP将继续利用桥梁计划提供的支持水平，全面提高STEM研究生薪酬，以维持博士学位的增加。成果的传播“通往博士学位之桥”项目的进展和成果将在纽约市LSAMP城市大学系列会议上、通过其虚拟社区（http：//www.example.com）和通讯进行传播。nyc-amp.cuny.edu城市大学系列会议自1998年以来每年举行一次，吸引了5，500多名与会者，除其他网络机会外，还提供了招募已注册的本科学者到纽约市立大学进行研究生学习或其他博士学位授予机构的机会。BD学者代表了准备参与非正式科学和数学教育的STEM学员的资源。

NYC LSAMP Bridge to the DoctorateStatement of ObjectivesThe objectives of this Bridge to the Doctorate proposal is to recruit and retain recent LSAMP STEM Graduates into a research/academic career that leads to the completion of a Ph.D. degree. The NYC Alliance will track twelve such individuals into doctoral programs and eventually the professoriate.Methods to be EmployedRecent Tier 1 LSAMP graduates from the National LSAMP pool of graduates, and LSAMP graduates who have completed no more than one full-time semester equivalent of graduate study shall constitute the group that will be invited to apply for the Bridge to the Doctorate program. LSAMP senior undergraduates will continue to be allowed to participate in Bridge activities. Bridge students will be beneficiaries of a proactive retention and professional enrichment program that will include academic and research mentoring, GRE workshops, roundtable discussions with advanced doctoral students, faculty and administrators, and attendance and participation at local and national professional conferences. The at-large faculty pool associated with the CUNY Graduate Center, and CUNY Institute/Center Directors will serve as Bridge faculty/research advisors. The Alliance will continue to partner with Brookhaven National Labs to provide cutting-edge research training during the academic year and summer terms. International research experiences will also be integrated into the training of all selected BD scholars.Expected ResultsIt is expected that the NYC LSAMP Bridge program will add 101 students to the Ph.D. pipeline from Cohorts 1-7 (2003 through 2011).Broader Impacts of the Proposed ActivityA critical infrastructure component for research and education is the availability of competent and committed students. The Bridge program will continue to serve as a catalyst for raising financial support for graduate students to a level that would attract US citizens into the STEM research pipeline in numbers sufficient to sustain the national STEM enterprise. LSAMP will continue to use the level of support provided by the Bridge program to leverage an increase in STEM graduate student compensation across the board, in order to sustain an increase in Ph.D. throughput beyond its two-year duration.Dissemination of ResultsProgress and results of the Bridge to the Doctorate program will be disseminated at the NYC LSAMP Urban University Conference Series, and through its Virtual Community (http://nyc-amp.cuny.edu), and Newsletter. The Urban University Conference Series, held annually since 1998, has attracted over 5,500 participants, and among other networking opportunities, provides the opportunity to recruit enrolled undergraduate scholars to CUNY for graduate study, or to other doctoral granting institutions. The BD scholars represent a resource of STEM trainees that are poised to be involved in Informal Science and Math Education.
