2014 CSU-LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate at California State University, Los Angeles

2014年加州州立大学-路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（CSU-LSAMP）博士学位桥梁（BD）活动的演出地点是洛杉矶的加州州立大学。这项BD活动将有助于推进NSF的2011-2016财年战略计划，该计划旨在：“准备和吸引多元化的STEM劳动力，激励他们参与前沿工作。“此外，它将增加博士学位的数量。通过识别和发展学生的才能来提高科学家的水平，如果没有NSF LSAMP的支持，这些学生不太可能在硕士或博士学位水平上进行研究生水平的学习。 洛杉矶的加州州立大学为LSAMP本科课程的12名毕业生提供了一个硕士学位到博士学位的“桥梁”。 这些学生来自历史上在STEM学科中代表性不足的群体。虽然美国科学研究企业一直很好地服务于其科学家和工程师的智力多样性，但妇女，残疾人以及历史上在STEM中代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的更多参与对于科学的持续健康和活力至关重要。这些人群在很大程度上是未开发的智力人才来源，并为研究企业带来了多样的见解和观点。这项BD活动将大大有助于扩大参与的学术和科学研究。硕士水平的经验，在加州州立大学，洛杉矶的目的是增加参与者的持久性和能力，在干和他们的进步博士学位。程序. 除了提供财政支持，使学生能够专注于为期两年的硕士课程全职，该项目提供了一套综合的活动，旨在推进BD学生走向干博士水平的研究完成。 除了参与正式的课程工作，BD学生将参加为期两年的指导研究经验。参与者的教师指导是这个BD活动的主要组成部分。CSU-LSAMP仍然致力于主张（1）给予适当的支持，大多数学生可以成功;（2）增加博士学位的数量。科学家和工程师要求“额外的”学生（即，未被录取并从事博士研究的学生。计划）被招募并准备博士水平的研究;（3）扩大参与STEM教授和科学领导需要更多的URG为博士学位做准备。在竞争激烈的研究型大学接受培训。

The performance site for the 2014 California State University-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity is California State University, Los Angeles. This BD activity will contribute to advancing NSF's FY 2011-2016 Strategic Plan, which aims to: "prepare and engage a diverse STEM workforce motivated to participate at the frontiers." Additionally it will increase the number of Ph.D. level scientists by identifying and developing the talent of students who would be unlikely to pursue graduate-level study at either the Master's or the doctorate level without NSF LSAMP support. California State University, Los Angeles provides a Master's level "bridge" to doctoral-level study for a cohort of 12 graduates of LSAMP undergraduate programs. These students are from groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines. Although the American scientific research enterprise has been well-served by the intellectual diversity of its scientists and engineers, greater participation of women, persons with disabilities, and persons from racial/ethnic groups that have historically been underrepresented in STEM is essential to the continued health and vitality of science. These populations are largely untapped sources of intellectual talent and bring a diversity of insights and perspectives to the research enterprise. This BD activity will contribute significantly to broadening participation in academe and scientific research.The Master's-level experience at California State University, Los Angeles is designed to increase participant persistence and competencies in STEM and their advancement to Ph.D. programs. In addition to providing financial support to enable students to focus full time on a two-year Master's program, the project provides an integrated set of activities designed to advance BD students toward completion of doctoral level studies in STEM. In addition to engaging participants in formal course work, BD students will participate in a two-year mentored research experience. Faculty mentoring of participants is a major component of this BD Activity. CSU-LSAMP remains committed to the propositions that (1) given appropriate support, most students can be successful; (2) increasing the number of Ph.D. scientists and engineers requires that "additional" students (i.e., students who are not already admitted to and engaged in Ph.D. programs) be recruited to and prepared for doctoral-level study; and (3) broadening participation in the STEM professoriate and scientific leadership requires that a greater number of URGs be prepared for Ph.D. training at highly competitive research universities.
