Getting the PhD 2012-2014

在佛罗里达大学（UF）的博士学位（BD）计划的桥梁主要由国家科学基金会通过佛罗里达州-格鲁吉亚路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（FG-LSAMP）提供资金，并从研究UF办公室提供额外的支持。用友研究生院指导与四个用友学院与干学科的援助方案：文科和理科，工程，农业和生命科学，医学学院。BD将学生融入UF的研究网络和教育计划，以确保他们得到适当的培训，指导和发展在STEM领域的研究事业。UF坚定地致力于提高各级多样性，特别强调提高博士课程的多样性和扩大博士生人口。在UF的BD计划确保研究员至少五年的支持。它提供了各种专业发展的组成部分，包括与UF BD队列和南佛罗里达BD队列的大学定期会议，以帮助留住参与者，并促进研究员'过渡到科学劳动力。在用友BD研究员将受益于校园社区的支持，致力于为他们提供他们需要完成博士学位的援助，并在干领域的职业生涯过渡。我们的期望是，UF BD将发展研究员作为一个良好的粘合队列，能够成功地从本科到研究生课程，然后进入专业岗位的劳动力完成博士学位后。嵌入在UF BD计划的整体设计和结构的更广泛的影响，促进有利于研究员和更广泛的社区活动。通过与众多K-12课堂活动的联系，BD计划将鼓励青年和即将入学的大学生考虑STEM学科和职业。在UF的BD也将培养一种氛围，这将允许一些研究员进入教授和进一步多样化的STEM部门在学院和大学。这些人将成为下一代STEM学生的榜样和导师。

The Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program at the University of Florida (UF) is funded primarily by the National Science Foundation through the Florida-Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FG-LSAMP) with additional support from UF Office of Research. The UF Graduate School directs the program with the assistance of the four UF colleges with STEM disciplines: the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Agricultural and Life Sciences, and Medicine. The BD will integrate students into UF's research networks and education programs to ensure that they are properly trained, mentored and developed for research careers in the STEM fields.UF is strongly committed to increasing diversity at all levels, with a particular emphasis on enhancing diversity in PhD programs and expanding the PhD student population. The BD program at UF ensures Fellows at least five years of support. It provides a variety of professional development components, including regularly scheduled meetings with the UF BD cohort and the University of South Florida BD cohorts, to help retain the participants and facilitate the Fellows' transitions into the scientific workforce. BD Fellows at UF will benefit from the support of the campus community that is committed to providing them with the assistance they need to complete their PhDs and make the transition into professional careers in STEM fields. The expectation is that the UF BD will develop the Fellows as a well-bonded cohort that is able to move successfully from undergraduate to graduate programs, and then move into professional positions in the workforce upon completion of the PhD. The broader impacts embedded in the overall design and structure of the UF BD Program fosters activities that benefit the fellows and the broader community. Through linkages with numerous K-12 classroom activities, the BD Program will encourage youth and incoming college students to consider STEM disciplines and careers. The BD at UF also will cultivate a climate that will allow a number of the Fellows to enter the professoriate and further diversify STEM departments in colleges and universities. Such individuals will become role models and mentors for the next generation of STEM students.
