The Louis Stokes Mississippi Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LS-MAMP), under the leadership of Jackson State University (JSU), will add an 8th cohort of Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) students during the 2010-2012 academic years. This will be accomplished by continuing the synergy between LS-MAMP partners that have transformed the instructional, research and administrative aspects of cooperation among these institutions in ways never before envisioned. The program addresses the institution's continued efforts to solve the critical shortages of underrepresented minorities in STEM disciplines. The goal of the LS-MAMP BD Program is to establish a secure pathway for underrepresented minority students to obtain doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines. This project will build upon existing relationships between JSU and major national and international universities; national laboratories such as LBNL and LLNL; and NSF programs such as CREST, AGEM, IGERT, etc. to increase the number of minority students enrolling and matriculating in MS and Ph.D. STEM graduate programs within and outside of the state of Mississippi. Disciplines targeted for graduate studies include: chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, environmental science, and engineering.NSF support will continue to accelerate and increase the numbers of minority students entering the Ph.D. pipeline and subsequently providing the Nation with well-qualified and diverse scientists and engineers for employment as faculty members for U. S. universities and colleges, for example. The success of the LS-MAMP BD Activity is based upon the theory that minority students who pursue the M. S. degree, have the potential to complete the Ph.D degree in STEM areas if provided sufficient financial support, rigorous curricula, committed mentoring and national and international extensive research experiences.

在杰克逊州立大学（JSU）的领导下，路易斯·斯托克斯密西西比路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LS-MAMP）将在2010-2012学年增加第八批桥梁博士（BD）学生。这将通过LS-MAMP合作伙伴之间的持续协同作用来实现，这些合作伙伴以前所未有的方式改变了这些机构之间合作的教学、研究和行政方面。该项目旨在解决该机构在STEM学科中代表性不足的少数族裔的严重短缺问题。LS-MAMP BD计划的目标是为未被充分代表的少数民族学生建立一个安全的途径，以获得STEM学科的博士学位。该项目将建立在JSU与主要国家和国际大学之间的现有关系的基础上；国家实验室，如LBNL和LLNL；以及美国国家科学基金会的CREST、AGEM、IGERT等项目，以增加在密西西比州内外的STEM硕士和博士研究生项目中注册和录取的少数民族学生人数。研究生学习的学科包括：化学、物理、数学、生物、环境科学和工程。美国国家科学基金会的支持将继续加速和增加少数民族学生进入博士学位管道的数量，并随后为美国大学和学院提供合格的、多样化的科学家和工程师，例如，作为教师。LS-MAMP BD活动的成功是基于这样一个理论：如果提供足够的资金支持、严格的课程、忠诚的指导和国内外广泛的研究经验，攻读硕士学位的少数民族学生有可能完成STEM领域的博士学位。
