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. 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. 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." The Illinois Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (ILSAMP) is led by Chicago State University, which is a Predominantly Black University and will host the 2015-2017 cohort of BD Fellows, with the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) as the main implementation campus. UIC will offer a comprehensive program that includes rigorous academic preparation and research training experiences as well as mentorship and professional development activities. Since the strategies implemented at UIC will result in the production of well-trained, highly-skilled STEM Professionals from underrepresented groups, the project will contribute significantly to increasing the diversity and representation in academia and the STEM workforce, thereby ensuring the nation's global competitiveness. Since starting in 2006, the ILSAMP BD at UIC has produced 22 STEM PhDs out of its 42 fellows from three cohorts. The Illinois LSAMP BD Program at UIC will continue to produce more STEM PhDs following the four primary objectives of the program: 1. To recruit twelve highly motivated students from LSAMP campuses across the nation; 2. To prepare matriculating BD Fellows to study and train towards the PhD; 3. To facilitate activities that will encourage BD Fellows to persist in PhD studies; and 4. To implement a series of activities designed to enhance the education and training of ILSAMP BD Fellows and help them transition to postdoctoral fellowships, placement in the academy, or other positions requiring doctoral level STEM education.

LSAMP桥通往博士学位（BD）活动的目标是增加来自代表性不足人群的STEM研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位。入学和完成。 要使美国保持全球竞争力，至关重要的是，它可以利用其所有公民的才能，并在基于知识经济的STEM地区提供出色的教育准备。该国高等教育机构实施的BD计划有助于解决NSF 2014 - 2018年战略计划中的目标之一，即“将教育和研究整合起来，以支持多样化的STEM劳动力与最先进能力的发展”。伊利诺伊州路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟（ILSAMP）由芝加哥州立大学领导，该大学主要是黑人大学，并将举办2015 - 2017年BD研究员队列，伊利诺伊大学（UIC）是芝加哥大学（UIC）作为主要实施校园。 UIC将提供一个全面的计划，包括严格的学术准备和研究培训经验以及指导和专业发展活动。由于在UIC实施的战略将导致来自代表性不足的团体训练有素，高技能的STEM专业人员的生产，因此该项目将为增加学术界和STEM劳动力的多样性和代表性做出重大贡献，从而确保该国的全球竞争力。自2006年开始以来，UIC的ILSAMP BD已从三个队列中的42家研究员中产生了22个STEM PHD。根据该计划的四个主要目标，UIC的伊利诺伊州LSAMP BD计划将继续生产更多的STEM博士学位：1。招募来自全国LSAMP校园的十二名高度动机的学生； 2。准备培训的BD研究员学习并训练博士学位； 3。促进将鼓励BD研究员坚持博士学位研究的活动；和4。进行一系列旨在增强ILSAMP BD研究员的教育和培训的活动，并帮助他们过渡到博士后研究金，学院的安置或其他需要博士学位STEM教育的职位。
