University of CaliforniaThe Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative recruitment and retention strategies and experiences in support of groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity provides support for postbaccalaureate studies in STEM programs leading to the STEM doctoral degree.The University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) is the host site for the 2014-2016 (Cohort IX) BD program that supports a graduate student cohort of 12 underrepresented minority (URM) STEM Ph.D. students from LSAMP campuses across the nation. The BD Activity provides extensive training in specific STEM disciplines as well as professional development and guidance that promote peer mentoring and leadership in the scientific community. Students receive rigorous academic and research training experiences that support completion of the Ph.D. and the transition to a competitive career in academia and industry.This project strengthens the connections between existing LSAMP undergraduate programs and UCLA?s STEM graduate programs with the goal of permanently increasing the number of URMs in the pipeline leading to doctoral programs at UCLA. The activity provides a robust set of graduate student development opportunities that promote mentoring and leadership in STEM communities. The BD students are engaged in mentoring CAMP undergraduates and transfer students to increase excitement and retention in URM STEM majors at UCLA. Linkages to the NSF Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) programming and institutional resources provides support for the participants following the two-year project support.Best practices for recruitment and retention of graduate student researchers are implemented and built upon lessons learned from previous LSAMP BD host sites. The UCLA BD findings, lessons learned, and impact of the activities are disseminated through publications and presentations at national meetings, and data sharing processes with NSF-affiliated initiatives and diversity consortiums. To date, the California Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate activity has supported 93 underrepresented minority (URM) graduate students in in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics [STEM] disciplines.The long-term impact of the BD activity is reflected in America's STEM workforce,both in academia and in industrial research and development. By nurturing the futureprofessoriate, as well as the scientific workforce, the value added is seen in thevisibility of minorities in science and engineering, increasing representation andproviding role models and motivation for the next generation.

加州大学路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划通过努力显着增加成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科高质量学位课程的学生数量，帮助大学和学院实现 STEM 劳动力多元化。 特别强调通过创新的招募和保留策略和经验来改变 STEM 教育，以支持历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的群体：非裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、美洲印第安人、西班牙裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民。 通往博士学位之桥 (BD) 活动为获得 STEM 博士学位的 STEM 项目学士后研究提供支持。加州大学洛杉矶分校 (UCLA) 是 2014-2016 年（第九组）BD 项目的主办地，该项目支持由 12 名代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) STEM 博士组成的研究生群体。来自全国 LSAMP 校园的学生。 BD 活动提供特定 STEM 学科的广泛培训以及专业发展和指导，以促进科学界的同行指导和领导力。 学生将接受严格的学术和研究培训经验，以支持完成博士学位。该项目加强了现有 LSAMP 本科课程与 UCLA 的 STEM 研究生课程之间的联系，目标是永久增加 UCLA 博士课程管道中的 URM 数量。该活动提供了一系列强大的研究生发展机会，促进 STEM 社区的指导和领导力。 BD 学生致力于指导 CAMP 本科生和转学生，以提高加州大学洛杉矶分校 URM STEM 专业的兴趣和保留率。 与 NSF 研究生教育和教授联盟 (AGEP) 规划和机构资源的联系为两年项目支持后的参与者提供支持。招募和留住研究生研究人员的最佳实践是基于从以前的 LSAMP BD 主办站点吸取的经验教训而实施的。加州大学洛杉矶分校 BD 的研究结果、经验教训和活动的影响通过出版物和全国会议上的演示以及与 NSF 附属计划和多元化联盟的数据共享过程进行传播。 迄今为止，加州路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (CAMP) 的博士桥梁活动已为科学、技术、工程和数学 [STEM] 学科的 93 名代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 研究生提供支持。BD 活动的长期影响反映在美国学术界和工业研发领域的 STEM 劳动力队伍中。通过培养未来的专业人才以及科学劳动力，增加的价值体现在少数群体在科学和工程领域的知名度、增加代表性并为下一代提供榜样和动力。
