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.

马里兰大学系统 (USM) 路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 通往博士学位 (BD) 计划（第 7 组）是美国国家科学基金会和马里兰大学系统之间的一项合作项目，旨在提高代表性不足的少数族裔在科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域入学并完成博士学位的质量和数量。自 2005 年第一批 BD 学员被马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校 (UMBC) 录取以来，已有 74 名 BD 研究员报名参加 UMBC 和马里兰大学帕克分校 (UMCP) 的 STEM 研究生课程。自 2005 年以来，USM BD 研究员已获得 7 名博士学位。和 27 硕士学位； 50 名研究员正在继续攻读硕士学位。或博士学位项目中，硕士项目有 8 名学生，博士项目有 42 名学生。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族裔 (URM) 学士学位获得者数量的推动力，已向代表性不足的学生授予了 8,480 个 STEM 学士学位。作为一个高级联盟，USM LSAMP 继续致力于增加授予 URM 学生的 STEM 学士学位数量以及进行科学研究并继续攻读 STEM 博士学位的 URM 本科生数量。 BD 项目为本科期间参加 LSAMP 项目的 12 名学生提供了获得大量资金和其他关键支持的机会，以便在马里兰大学学院公园分校成功攻读不同 STEM 领域的研究生学位。参与者还有机会在学术生涯的早期与 UMCP 校园和校园附近的国家实验室的顶尖研究科学家一起进行前沿研究。 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为当前 LSAMP 本科生树立榜样；-在国家和地方会议上展示研究成果；-在 LSAMP/LSAMP-BD 联合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； - 参加 USM BD 联合活动，例如暑期成功学院。许多 LSAMP 学生都是传统上在 STEM 领域代表性不足的群体的成员。 BD 计划增加了在这些领域获得博士学位的学生数量。此外，还计划开展一些活动，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好准备。
