Jackson State University (JSU) and its LSMAMP partners are pleased to submit this competitive renewal proposal to support an ninth (9th) Cohort in the Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program, which addresses our continued efforts to solve the critical shortages of underrepresented minorities (URM) in STEM disciplines. This will be accomplished by continuing the synergy between LSMAMP partners that have transformed the instructional, research and administrative aspects of cooperation among these institutions in ways never before envisioned. STEM disciplines targeted for BD include: chemistry, mathematics, biology, environmental science, computer science, and engineering. The requested support will continue to accelerate and increase the numbers of minority students entering the Ph.D. pipeline. The success of the BD is based upon the theory that minority students who pursue the MS degree, have the potential to complete the PhD degree in STEM areas if provided sufficient financial support, rigorous curricula, committed mentoring and national and international extensive research experiences. The addition of an ninth Cohort will increase the number of students who have been supported by the program to 106. The impact of the LSMAMP-BD has been profoundly dramatic in achieving the goal of increasing the number of underrepresented (URM) PhD participation. To date, of a total of 94 students, 72 have been admitted into PhD programs, 11 have earned their PhDs, and 40 are completing their dissertations or coursework (from Cohorts 1-6). Furthermore, 90% of the students in Cohorts 1 through 6 were admitted into Ph.D. programs. In Cohort 7, so far, nine (9) students have been admitted into Ph.D. programs and three (3) have applied to doctoral offering institutions and are expected to start during fall 2010. Cohort Eight (8) students are progressing well and are currently acquiring international experience before they begin their summer internships.The BD is an intensive, highly interactive program covering the first two years of the students' graduate tenure leading to the MS degree. Students are expected to continue their work through to the doctorate. The first year the students satisfy the required core courses and select their research advisor. The first summer, the students are exposed to scientific and technical workforce environments internships at national or international laboratories, corporations and universities. During this time, students and their faculty advisors continually interact on the learning experience and initiation of research projects. The second year is dedicated to research, writing the MS thesis, specialized courses and applying to doctoral programs and fellowships.Intellectual Merit: The goal of the LSMAMP BD Program is to establish a secure pathway for underrepresented minority students to obtain doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines. This proposed 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.Broader Impacts: The LSMAMP program will increase the number of Ph.D. degrees in STEM areas awarded to minorities, especially African-Americans. The project will provide well-qualified and diverse faculty members for U S universities and colleges, as well as impact the number of scientists and engineers holding the doctorate. This is already taking place as exhibited by the number of BD students placed in Ph.D. programs and by the number of those who have earned the Ph.D.

杰克逊州立大学（JSU）及其LSMAMP合作伙伴很高兴提交这一有竞争力的更新提案，以支持第九（第9）队列在桥梁博士（BD）计划，这解决了我们继续努力解决代表性不足的少数民族（URM）在干学科的严重短缺。这将通过继续LSMAMP合作伙伴之间的协同作用来实现，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。面向BD的STEM学科包括：化学、数学、生物学、环境科学、计算机科学和工程学。所要求的支持将继续加速和增加少数民族学生进入博士学位的人数。渠道. BD的成功是基于这样的理论，即攻读MS学位的少数民族学生，如果提供足够的财政支持，严格的课程，承诺的指导以及国家和国际广泛的研究经验，有可能完成STEM领域的博士学位。第九批的增加将使该计划支持的学生人数增加到106人。LSMAMP-BD的影响在实现增加代表性不足（URM）博士参与人数的目标方面具有深远的戏剧性。迄今为止，共有94名学生，72人已被录取进入博士课程，11人获得博士学位，40人正在完成论文或课程（从队列1-6）。此外，第1至第6组的学生中有90%被录取为博士。程序.在队列7中，到目前为止，九（9）名学生已被录取为博士。计划和三（3）已申请博士提供机构，预计将在2010年秋季开始。队列八（8）学生进展顺利，目前正在获得国际经验，然后他们开始他们的暑期实习。BD是一个密集的，高度互动的计划，涵盖了学生的研究生任期的前两年导致MS学位。预计学生将继续他们的工作，直到博士学位。第一年，学生满足所需的核心课程，并选择他们的研究顾问。在第一个夏天，学生们将在国家或国际实验室，公司和大学接触科学和技术劳动力环境实习。在此期间，学生和他们的教师顾问不断互动的学习经验和研究项目的启动。第二年致力于研究，撰写硕士论文，专业课程和申请博士课程和奖学金。智力优势：LSMAMP BD计划的目标是为代表性不足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。这个拟议的项目将建立在JSU和主要国家和国际大学之间的现有关系;国家实验室，如LBNL和LLNL;和NSF计划，如CREST，AGEM，IGERT等。STEM研究生课程在密西西比州内外。研究生课程的目标专业包括：化学、物理、数学、生物、环境科学和工程。更广泛的影响：LSMAMP计划将增加博士学位的数量。授予少数民族，特别是非洲裔美国人的STEM领域学位。该项目将为美国大学和学院提供高素质和多样化的教师，并影响拥有博士学位的科学家和工程师的数量.这已经发生了，正如被安置在博士学位的BD学生的数量所展示的那样。项目和获得博士学位的人数。
