The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce through the development of highly competitive students from groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaska Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The goal of the LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity is to increase the quantity and quality of STEM graduate students from underrepresented populations, with emphasis on Ph.D. matriculation and completion. BD programs implemented in the nation's institutions of higher education contribute to addressing one of the objectives in NSF's 2014-2018 Strategic Plan, namely to "integrate education and research to support development of a diverse STEM workforce with cutting-edge capabilities." For the U.S. to remain globally competitive, it is vital that it taps into the talent of all its citizens and provides exceptional educational preparedness in STEM areas that underpin the knowledge-based economy. The University of California-Irvine (UCI), lead institution of the California LSAMP (CAMP), will serve as the host site for the 2015-2017 cohort of BD Fellows. The BD Program at UCI will employ creative strategies and best practices for recruitment and retention of diverse graduate student researchers through completion of the Ph.D. The efforts to invest in doctoral students underrepresented in STEM should result in the production of well-trained scientists and engineers who would support NSF's Mission to promote the progress of science. Ultimately, the CAMP BD Program will positively impact diversity and inclusion in the national scientific and engineering workforce, thereby ensuring our nation's future prosperity and competitiveness.The BD Program at UCI will enhance the diversity of STEM graduate education on the Irvine campus by recruiting, enrolling, training, and graduating a cohort of 12 talented doctoral students. Best practices employed for recruitment and retention are built upon lessons learned from previous LSAMP BD host sites. The program will provide a robust set of graduate student opportunities that promote mentorship and leadership in STEM communities. These include workshops on such topics as writing technical reports and papers, learning the culture of the laboratory, building peer and professional relationships, planning for advancement to candidacy, successful grant writing, and presenting your work. Collaborations between UCI-LSAMP, the Graduate Division, and STEM departments will ensure the success of the BD Program. To date, the California LSAMP BD has supported 105 underrepresented students in STEM disciplines across all campuses of the University of California.

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划通过培养来自历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的群体的极具竞争力的学生，帮助大学和学院实现科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 劳动力的多元化：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。 LSAMP 通往博士学位的桥梁 (BD) 活动的目标是提高代表性不足人群中 STEM 研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位。入学和完成。 在美国高等教育机构实施的 BD 项目有助于实现 NSF 2014-2018 年战略计划的目标之一，即“整合教育和研究，支持培养具有尖端能力的多元化 STEM 劳动力”。 美国要保持全球竞争力，就必须发挥全体公民的才能，并在支撑知识经济的 STEM 领域提供卓越的教育准备。加州大学欧文分校 (UCI) 作为加州 LSAMP (CAMP) 的牵头机构，将作为 2015-2017 年度 BD 研究员的主办地点。 UCI 的 BD 项目将采用创造性策略和最佳实践，通过完成博士学位来招募和留住多元化的研究生研究人员。对 STEM 领域代表性不足的博士生的投资应该会培养出训练有素的科学家和工程师，他们将支持 NSF 促进科学进步的使命。最终，CAMP BD 项目将对国家科学和工程劳动力的多样性和包容性产生积极影响，从而确保我们国家未来的繁荣和竞争力。UCI 的 BD 项目将通过招募、入学、培训和毕业 12 名才华横溢的博士生，增强欧文校区 STEM 研究生教育的多样性。用于招聘和保留的最佳实践是基于从以前的 LSAMP BD 托管站点吸取的经验教训。该计划将提供一系列强大的研究生机会，促进 STEM 社区的指导和领导力。其中包括撰写技术报告和论文、学习实验室文化、建立同行和专业关系、规划晋升候选人、成功撰写资助金以及展示您的工作等主题的研讨会。 UCI-LSAMP、研究生部和 STEM 部门之间的合作将确保 BD 项目的成功。迄今为止，加州 LSAMP BD 已为加州大学所有校区的 105 名 STEM 学科的代表性不足的学生提供支持。
