2011-2013 NEW YORK CITY Bridge to the Doctorate Activity - BD Site: City University of New York Graduate School

目标陈述这一通往博士学位提案的桥梁的目标是招聘和留住LSAMP STEM应届毕业生进入研究/学术职业生涯，从而在CUNY或其他授予博士的机构完成博士学位。CUNY的LSAMP Bridge项目并不设在任何一个校区，因为研究生中心是在CUNY授予博士学位的主要机构。智慧价值纽约市联盟提出的方法建立在过去十九年来为增加STEM中代表不足的少数族裔人数而建立的努力的基础上。这种方法的核心是改变将本科生纳入研究的氛围，并在学生、教师和教职员工层面建立一个CUNY广泛的合作伙伴名单。方法从国家LSAMP毕业生人才库中最近毕业的LSAMP毕业生，以及完成不超过一个全日制学期相当于研究生学习的LSAMP毕业生，将被邀请申请博士学位项目的桥梁。LSAMP高年级本科生将继续被允许参加桥牌活动。剑桥大学的学生将受益于一项积极主动的留任和专业充实计划，该计划将包括学术和研究指导、GRE研讨会、与高级博士生、教职员工和管理人员的圆桌讨论，以及出席和参加地方和国家专业会议。与CUNY研究生院相关的全体教职员工和CUNY研究所/中心主任将担任桥梁教职员工/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研究培训。国际研究经验也将被整合到所有选定的BD奖学金的培训中。预期结果预计纽约市LSAMP桥梁项目将从1-9个队列(2003-2013)增加125名学生到博士队伍中。拟议活动的BROADER影响研究和教育的一个关键基础设施部分是提供称职和忠诚的学生。Bridge计划将继续作为催化剂，将对研究生的财政支持提高到足以吸引足够数量的美国公民进入STEM研究管道的水平，以支持国家STEM事业。LSAMP将继续利用Bridge计划提供的支持水平，全面提高STEM研究生的薪酬，以便在两年后继续增加博士学位。

Statement 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 at CUNY or at other doctoral granting institutions. The LSAMP Bridge program in CUNY is not based at any one campus site as the Graduate Center is the primary institution that grants the Doctoral degree in CUNY.Intellectual MeritThe approach presented by the NYC Alliance builds on the efforts established over the previous nineteen years of activities in increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in STEM. Central to the approach is changing the atmospherics regarding undergraduate inclusion in research and establishing a CUNY wide list of partners at the student, faculty and staff level.Methods to be EmployedRecent 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 125 students to the Ph.D. pipeline from Cohorts 1-9 (2003 through 2013).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.
