The University System of Maryland (USM) Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP)seeks funding to add a fifth cohort of Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Fellows to its current retentioninitiatives. The first cohort of BD Fellows matriculated at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County(UMBC) in the fall of 2005. In fall 2006, the second cohort of fellows enrolled at the University ofMaryland, College Park (UMCP). The third cohort enrolled at UMCP in the fall of 2008 and the fourthcohort enrolled at UMBC in the fall of 2009. Since the first BD cohort matriculated at UMBC in 2005,there have been 48 BD Fellows enrolled in STEM graduate programs at UMBC and UMCP. Elevenstudents have completed MS degrees and 37 students are still enrolled.�� INTELLECTUAL MERITThe proposed activity will provide a cohort of 12 students who have participated in LSAMP Programs, asundergraduates, the opportunity to receive substantial funding and other critical support to successfullypursue graduate degrees in diverse STEM fields at one of the nation?s top research universities. Theparticipants also will have opportunities, early in their academic careers, to conduct cutting-edge researchwith top research scientists on the UMCP campus and at national laboratories located in close proximityto the campus. The following will be required of BD fellows:? To participate in community meetings and individual advising meetings;? To apply for the NSF Graduate Student Research Fellowship during the first year;? To serve as role models to current undergraduate LSAMP students in the process of applying forgraduate school;? To present research at national or local conferences;? To participate in the University System of Maryland?s Graduate Research Symposium;? To attend and present posters at the NSF Joint Annual Meeting (JAM);? To present research and serve as mentors at the joint LSAMP/LSAMP-BD Research Symposium;? To participate in various seminars on campus in order to promote professional development andgrowth;? To participate in joint USM BD cohort events such as Summer Success Institute and the HarvestDinner.�� BROADER IMPACTSMany LSAMP students are members of groups that traditionally have been underrepresented in STEMfields. The proposed activity will increase the number of such students in the pipeline to earn doctoraldegrees in these fields. In addition, activities are planned that would provide the participants withinformation about a variety of STEM career options, and help to motivate some of them to prepare forcareers in the professoriate.

马里兰大学系统（USM）路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）寻求资金，在其目前的保留计划中增加第五批桥梁博士（BD）研究员。第一批BD研究员于2005年秋季在马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校（UMBC）入学。2006年秋季，马里兰大学帕克分校招收了第二批研究员。第三批学员于2008年秋季入读UMCP，第四批学员于2009年秋季入读UMBC。自2005年第一批BD学员在UMBC入学以来，已有48名BD学员在UMBC和UMCP的STEM研究生项目中注册。11名学生已经完成了硕士学位，还有37名学生仍在就读。该活动将为参加LSAMP项目的12名本科生提供获得大量资金和其他关键支持的机会，以成功地在美国的一个国家攻读不同STEM领域的研究生学位。美国顶尖研究型大学。参与者还将有机会在其学术生涯的早期，在UMCP校园和靠近校园的国家实验室与顶级研究科学家一起进行尖端研究。BD研究员须具备以下条件：？参与社区会议及个别谘询会议；？在第一年申请国家科学基金研究生研究奖学金；为现时申请研究生院的LSAMP本科生树立榜样；在国家或地方会议上展示研究成果；加入马里兰大学系统？研究生研究研讨会；？参加美国国家科学基金会联合年会并展示海报；？在LSAMP/LSAMP- bd联合研究研讨会上介绍研究成果并担任导师；参加各种校园研讨会，以促进专业发展和成长；参加联合USM BD队列活动，如夏季成功学院和收获晚餐。�&#56473；更广泛的影响许多LSAMP学生是传统上在stem领域代表性不足的群体的成员。拟议的活动将增加这类学生在这些领域获得博士学位的人数。此外，计划的活动将为参与者提供有关各种STEM职业选择的信息，并帮助激励他们中的一些人为教授职业做准备。
