SUNY LSAMP 2012 Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Cohort at Stony Brook University

纽约州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟(SUNY LSAMP)准备立即建立其第七个向石溪大学(Stony Brook University)博士(BD)学生搭桥的队列。这一新的群体将建立在前六项努力的基础上，这些努力不仅显著增加了代表不足的少数族裔(UREP)的STEM研究生入学人数和硕士和博士学位，而且还导致STEM教育的文化和实践发生了重大变化，不仅帮助了UREP学生，而且帮助了所有STEM研究生。项目目标和目标纽约州立大学LSAMP 2012项目的目标和目标是：通过以下方式招收12名LSAMP博士生：-使用我们开发的针对州和国家LSAMP人才库的招聘途径，从各种LSAMP机构和STEM专业招收学生。-有一个与STEM部门和纽约州立大学AGEP合作的遴选过程，以选择将在计划支持下成功的LSAMP学生，以设计和实施一个帮助学生成功完成两年STEM研究生学习的计划：-提供一套全面的服务来监控学生的进度，建立一个强大的BD社区，培养BD学生的学术和专业技能，并尽可能使用UREP STEM研究生作为导师和导师-与其他NSF以及州和联邦项目合作，通过将BD学生整合到现有的活动和项目网络来充分利用项目资源-通过外部评估评估项目服务的成功，并根据评估结果开发新的或修改后的活动或干预措施，以确保BD学生进入并成功完成博士学习，然后进入学术界和高科技工作场所：-帮助学生成功进入博士项目-准备BD学生申请NSF和其他研究生奖学金-与STEM部门合作研究生院和特纳奖学金计划制定计划，提供进入博士项目的正式途径，其中包括在BD NSF支持结束后为BD学生提供财政支持-与STEM部门合作，在需要的地方提供学术支持，以帮助学生进行博士学习-保持一个有效的系统，在学生离开BD项目后通过他们的教育生涯和专业工作经验来促进研究生STEM政策和实践的系统性变化，以增加个别学生在博士途径上的成功和UREP STEM研究生教育的有效性，方法是：-使用来自多种来源的资源来审查与UREP STEM研究生教育相关的广泛问题，AGEP和UREP STEM研究生人口的智力价值：该项目将加强纽约州立大学LSAMP目前在研究生教育领域建设STEM教育研究能力的努力。从博士项目研究中学到的经验教训将被放在更广泛的系统性改革问题的背景下，并向全国广大受众传播。广泛影响：利用从该项目中学到的经验教训，纽约州立大学预计将继续制定和完善战略，以增加UREP STEM研究生的招聘和留住。这将增加成功完成STEM学科博士学位的STEM学生的数量，并改变STEM部门的文化和实践。

The State University of New York Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SUNY LSAMP) is ready to immediately put into place its seventh cohort of Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) students at Stony Brook University. This new cohort will build on the six previous efforts that have not only significantly added to the underrepresented minority (UREP) STEM graduate enrollment and Master's and doctoral degrees but have also led to important changes in the culture and practice of STEM education in ways that not only help UREP students but all graduate STEM students. Project Goals and Objectives The goals and objectives of the SUNY LSAMP 2012 Bridge to the Doctorate Program at Stony Brook are: To recruit 12 LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate students by: - Using recruitment pathways that we have developed that target the state and national LSAMP pool and recruit students from a variety of LSAMP institutions and STEM majors. - Having a selection process that works with STEM departments and SUNY AGEP to choose talented LSAMP students who will succeed with program support To design and implement a program that helps students successfully complete two years of STEM graduate study by: - Providing a comprehensive set of services that monitor student progress, builds a strong BD community, builds BD students' academic and professional skills and uses UREP STEM graduate students as mentors and instructors wherever possible - Collaborating with other NSF and state and federal programs to make the best use of program resources by integrating BD students into the existing network of activities and programs - Assessing the success of program services through external evaluation and developing new or modified activities or interventions based on the results of this evaluation To make sure that BD students enter and successfully complete doctoral study and then move into academia and the high technology workplace by: - Helping students to successfully gain admission into doctoral programs - Preparing BD students to apply for NSF and other graduate fellowships - Working with STEM departments, the Graduate School and the Turner Fellowship program to develop plans to provide a formal pathway to PhD programs that include financial support for BD students after the two years of BD NSF support ends - Working with STEM departments to provide academic support where needed to help students through doctoral study - Maintaining an effective system for tracking students after they leave the BD program through their educational career and professional work experience To promote systemic change in graduate STEM policy and practices in ways that will increase the success of individual students on the doctoral pathway and the effectiveness of UREP STEM graduate education by: - Using resources from multiple sources to examine broad issues related to UREP STEM graduate education using the BD, AGEP and UREP STEM graduate population INTELLECTUAL MERIT: The project will add to current efforts by SUNY LSAMP to build research capacity in STEM education in the area of graduate education. The lessons learned from the study of the Bridge to the Doctorate Program will be put into the context of broader issues of systemic change and disseminated to a broad national audience.BROADER IMPACT: Using the lessons learned from this project, SUNY expects to continue to develop and refine strategies that will increase the recruitment and retention of UREP STEM graduate students. This will increase the number of UREP STEM students who successfully complete doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines and make changes in STEM departmental culture and practice.
