The University System of Maryland (USM) Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program (cohort 7) is a collaborative effort between the National Science Foundation and the USM institutions to increase the quality and quantity of underrepresented minorities matriculating and completing doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Since the first BD cohort matriculated at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in 2005, 74 BD Fellows have enrolled in STEM graduate programs at UMBC and the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP). Since 2005, USM BD Fellows have earned 7 Ph.D. and 27 M.S. degrees; 50 fellows are persisting in M.S. or Ph.D. programs, 8 students in masters programs and 42 students in doctoral programs.Since the inception of the USM LSAMP in 1995, the USM has remained a driving force in increasing the number of underrepresented minority (URM) baccalaureate degree recipients in STEM disciplines, and 8,480 STEM bachelor degrees have been awarded to underrepresented students. As a Senior-level Alliance, the USM LSAMP continues to work to increase the number of STEM bachelor's degrees awarded to URM students and the number of undergraduate URM students conducting scientific research and going on to pursue STEM doctorates. The BD program provides a cohort of 12 students who have participated in LSAMP Programs as undergraduates the opportunity to receive substantial funding and other critical support to successfully pursue graduate degrees in diverse STEM fields at the University of Maryland, College Park. The participants also have the opportunity, early in their academic careers, to conduct cutting-edge research with top research scientists on the UMCP campus and at national laboratories located in close proximity to the campus. BD Fellows:-Participate in community meetings and individual advising meetings;-Serve as role models to current undergraduate LSAMP students in the process of applying for graduate school;-Present research at national and local conferences;-Present research and serve as mentors at the joint LSAMP/LSAMP-BD Research Symposium;-Participate in various seminars on campus in order to promote professional development and growth; and-Participate in joint USM BD cohort events such as the Summer Success Institute.Many LSAMP students are members of groups that traditionally have been underrepresented in STEM fields. The BD Program increases the number of such students in the pipeline to earn doctoral degrees in these fields. In addition, activities are planned that will provide the participants with information about a variety of STEM career options, and help to motivate some of them to prepare for careers in the professoriate.

该马里兰州（USM）路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）桥梁博士学位（BD）计划（队列7）的大学系统是国家科学基金会和USM机构之间的合作努力，以提高质量和数量的代表性不足的少数民族录取和完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域的博士学位。自2005年巴尔的摩县马里兰州大学（UMBC）录取第一批BD研究员以来，已有74名BD研究员参加了UMBC和马里兰州大学帕克分校（UMCP）的STEM研究生课程。自2005年以来，USM BD研究员已获得7博士学位。27 MS学位; 50名研究员坚持在MS。或博士自1995年USM LSAMP成立以来，USM一直是增加STEM学科中代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学士学位获得者数量的推动力，8，480名STEM学士学位授予代表性不足的学生。作为一个高级联盟，USM LSAMP继续努力增加授予URM学生的STEM学士学位数量，以及进行科学研究和继续攻读STEM博士学位的URM本科生数量。BD计划为12名参加LSAMP计划的学生提供了获得大量资金和其他关键支持的机会，以成功地在马里兰州大学帕克分校攻读不同STEM领域的研究生学位。参与者也有机会，在他们的学术生涯的早期，进行前沿研究与UMCP校园和位于校园附近的国家实验室的顶级研究科学家。BD研究员：-参加社区会议和个人咨询会议;-在申请研究生院的过程中担任当前本科LSAMP学生的榜样;-在国家和地方会议上展示研究成果;-在联合LSAMP/LSAMP-BD研究研讨会上展示研究成果并担任导师;-参加校园内的各种研讨会，以促进专业发展和成长;和-参加USM BD联合队列活动，例如夏季成功研究所。许多LSAMP学生都是传统上在STEM领域代表性不足的团体的成员。BD计划增加了这些学生的数量，以获得这些领域的博士学位。此外，还计划开展活动，为参与者提供有关各种STEM职业选择的信息，并帮助激励他们中的一些人为教授职业做准备。
