Drexel University, as a representative of the Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (Philadelphia AMP), requests Bridge to the Doctorate (BTD) funding for a two-year period for a Cohort X program, to expand and intensify the consortium's on-going efforts to substantially increase the number of qualified African American, Hispanic and Native American (hereafter referred to as "minority") students entering graduate study in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), attaining doctoral degrees, and moving into the professoriate. The Philadelphia AMP represents a diverse alliance of nine institutions consisting of public and private, 2- and 4-year research and non-research, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and majority institutions.The New Jersey Institute of Technology has been selected to host the Bridge to the Doctorate Cohort X activities because of: 1) the key role it has played in the successful development and implementation of the Alliance's BTD Cohort I-IX programs, 2) its institution-wide commitment to diversity in STEM at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and 3) its advancements in the research enterprise.The goals of Philadelphia AMP's Bridge to the Doctorate (Cohort X) project are to: (1) recruit twelve students into Master's or PhD degree programs at the New Jersey Institute of Technology; (2) retain these students through the completion of the Master's or PhD program, providing the Master's students with full qualifications for admission into a highly regarded PhD program in their chosen STEMspecialty with full financial support; (3) enable the Master's students' admission and smooth transition into a PhD program; and (4) monitor all student progress through PhD completion into the professoriate and beyond.Intellectual Merit includes management expertise and advancing knowledge and understanding in the STEM fields. The proposed Bridge to the Doctorate (Cohort X) program rests on a solid foundation of partnerships, resources, effective practices and experiences derived from seventeen (17) years of collaboration, cooperation and concerted efforts focused on minority student achievement under the current Philadelphia AMP and Bridge to the Doctorate (BTD) Cohort I-IX programs. In particular, this experience has helped the Alliance's STEM graduate programs mature considerably, to the benefit of all STEM graduate students, not just the BTD Fellows. This synergy, which would continue with the proposed Cohort X program, leverages NSF's investment in a powerful and innovative way. The proposed effort builds upon the existing infrastructure to advance underrepresented minority students into participation in engineering and the sciences at the highest levels. Philadelphia AMP has centered its efforts on catalyzing changes in institutional, departmental, and organizational culture and practices in order to achieve sustainable and significant increases in recruitment, retention, and degree attainment in STEM disciplines for minority students.

德雷克塞尔大学，作为大费城地区的代表路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（费城AMP），请求博士学位之桥（BTD）为X队列项目提供为期两年的资金，以扩大和加强该联盟正在进行的努力，以大幅增加合格的非裔美国人的数量，西班牙裔和美洲原住民（以下简称“少数民族”）学生进入科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）研究生学习，获得博士学位，并进入教授职位。费城AMP代表了九个机构组成的公共和私人，2年和4年的研究和非研究，历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）和多数机构的多元化联盟。技术的新泽西研究所已被选中主办桥梁博士学位队列X活动，因为：1）它在成功开发和实施联盟的BTD队列I-IX计划中发挥了关键作用，2）其在本科和研究生层面对STEM多样性的全机构承诺，和3）其在研究企业的进步。费城AMP的桥梁博士学位的目标（第十批）项目是：（1）招收12名学生进入新泽西理工学院攻读硕士或博士学位;（2）通过完成硕士或博士课程留住这些学生，为硕士生提供全面的资格，以便在他们选择的STEM专业中获得高度认可的博士课程，并提供全面的财政支持;（3）使硕士生的录取和顺利过渡到博士课程;和（4）通过博士毕业到教授和超越监控所有学生的进展。智力优点包括管理专业知识和先进的知识和理解在STEM领域。拟议的桥梁博士学位（队列X）计划依赖于伙伴关系，资源，有效的实践和经验的坚实基础，这些经验来自十七（17）年的合作，合作和共同努力，专注于当前费城AMP和桥梁博士学位（BTD）队列I-IX计划下的少数民族学生成绩。特别是，这种经验帮助联盟的STEM研究生课程相当成熟，所有STEM研究生的利益，而不仅仅是BTD研究员。这种协同作用将继续与拟议的X组计划，利用NSF的投资在一个强大的和创新的方式。拟议的努力建立在现有基础设施的基础上，以推动代表性不足的少数民族学生参与最高级别的工程和科学。Philadelphia AMP致力于促进机构，部门和组织文化和实践的变革，以实现少数民族学生在STEM学科的招聘，保留和学位获得的可持续和显著增加。
