The Alabama Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (ALSAMP)under the leadership of the University of Alabama (UAB) will sponsor its ninth (9th) cohort of Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) students at the institution. The program will focus on the recruitment, retention, mentoring, and graduation of students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields at the postbaccalaureate level. Twelve NSF-sponsord historically underrepresented minority students pursuing science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines will participate in the program for the 2011-2013 academic years. UAB has a proven record of recruitment, retention, graduation and placement of STEM students in doctoral degree programs. BD participants receive an assigned faculty mentor and the opportunity to attend and participate in at least one professional scientific meeting each year. In addition, BD participants attend special topic seminars concerning graduate school matriculation designed specifically for the program and procedures for applying for NSF and other fellowships. Linkages will be established with the NSF Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) and other research and academic programs. At the end of the two year award period, BD students are guaranteed continuation of the same level of financial support through a combination of departmental fellowships and additional financial support from the university. BD students not remaining at UAB will be connected to doctoral programs at other institutions and are assisted in securing fellowship and other support at the selected institution. All BD students will be tracked into doctoral degree programs and the workforce, including the professoriate.Evaluation and assessment data will be collected and evaluated at intervals during the two year program. Dissemination of results and success will be published in vsrious venues. The magazine is an excellent source of publicity for the BD program as well as an important networking tool for BD students.The project is an important step in advancing the knowledge of underrepresented minority students in STEM. The experiences gained by these students working with science and education faculty will position them for excellent career advancement and contribute to the nation's great need for minority scientist in both research and the professoriate.The project broadens participation of underrepresented groups in graduate education with the real prospect of increasing the number of such groups attaining doctoral degrees in STEM and entering the professoriate. Discovery and understanding resulting from this project will be disseminated to other institutions and programs focusing on graduate education.

在亚拉巴马大学（UAB）的领导下，亚拉巴马路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（ALSAMP）将赞助该机构的第九（9）批博士学位（BD）学生。 该计划将侧重于招聘，保留，指导和毕业的学生在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域在学士后水平。12名在历史上代表性不足的少数民族学生将参加2011-2013学年的科学、技术、工程和数学课程。 UAB在博士学位课程的STEM学生的招聘，保留，毕业和安置方面有着良好的记录。BD参与者获得指定的教师导师和机会出席并参加每年至少一次专业科学会议。此外，BD参与者参加有关研究生院入学的专题研讨会，这些研讨会是专门为申请NSF和其他奖学金的程序和程序设计的。将与NSF研究生教育联盟和教授（AGEP）以及其他研究和学术计划建立联系。在两年的奖励期结束时，BD学生通过部门奖学金和大学的额外财政支持相结合，保证继续获得相同水平的财政支持。未留在UAB的BD学生将与其他机构的博士课程建立联系，并协助在所选机构获得奖学金和其他支持。所有BD学生将被跟踪到博士学位课程和劳动力，包括教授。评估和评估数据将在两年计划期间收集和评估。结果和成功的传播将在不同的地点出版。 该杂志是BD计划的一个很好的宣传来源，也是BD学生的一个重要的网络工具。该项目是提高STEM中代表性不足的少数民族学生的知识的重要一步。这些学生在科学和教育学院工作所获得的经验将使他们获得出色的职业发展，并有助于国家在研究和教授方面对少数民族科学家的巨大需求。该项目扩大了代表性不足的群体在研究生教育中的参与，增加了获得STEM博士学位并进入教授职位的群体数量的真实的前景。本项目的发现和理解将传播到其他专注于研究生教育的机构和项目。
