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）准备立即在石溪大学（Stony Brook University）安置第七批桥接博士学位（BD）学生。这一新的队列将建立在之前的六项努力的基础上，这些努力不仅显著增加了未被充分代表的少数民族（UREP） STEM研究生的入学人数以及硕士和博士学位，而且还导致了STEM教育文化和实践的重大变化，不仅有助于UREP学生，而且有助于所有STEM研究生。纽约州立大学石溪分校2012年LSAMP博士衔接项目的目标和目标是：通过以下方式招收12名LSAMP博士衔接学生：-利用我们开发的针对州和国家LSAMP的招生途径，从各种LSAMP机构和STEM专业招收学生。-与STEM部门和SUNY AGEP合作，选择有才华的LSAMP学生，他们将在项目支持下取得成功。设计和实施一个项目，通过以下方式帮助学生成功完成两年的STEM研究生学习：-提供全面的服务，监测学生的进步，建立一个强大的BD社区，建立BD学生的学术和专业技能，并尽可能使用UREP STEM研究生作为导师和讲师-与其他NSF和州和联邦项目合作，通过将BD学生整合到现有的活动和项目网络中，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的活动或干预措施确保BD学生进入并顺利完成博士学习，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课程-为BD学生申请NSF和其他研究生奖学金做准备-与STEM部门合作，研究生院和特纳奖学金计划制定计划，为攻读博士学位的学生提供正式的途径，包括在两年的BD NSF支持结束后为BD学生提供经济支持-与STEM部门合作，在需要的时候提供学术支持，帮助学生完成博士学习-维护一个有效的系统，在他们离开BD项目后，通过他们的教育生涯和专业工作经验来跟踪学生促进系统变革-利用多种来源的资源，利用BD、AGEP和UREP STEM研究生人口来研究与UREP STEM研究生教育相关的广泛问题。智力优势：该项目将增加SUNY LSAMP目前在研究生教育领域建立STEM教育研究能力的努力。从“通往博士学位的桥梁”项目的研究中吸取的教训将放在更广泛的系统性变革问题的背景下，并向全国广泛的听众传播。更广泛的影响：利用从该项目中吸取的经验教训，纽约州立大学希望继续制定和完善战略，以增加UREP STEM研究生的招聘和保留。这将增加UREP STEM学生成功完成STEM学科博士学位的人数，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.
