2015-2017 SUNY LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate at Binghamton University

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划帮助大学和学院通过努力使STEM劳动力多样化，显着增加来自历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口的学生人数，以成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的高质量学位课程。 该LSAMP桥博士（LSAMP-BD）活动提供了为期两年的支持，在postbaccalaurate水平的学生从历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口在STEM研究生课程录取，以赚取在STEM学科博士学位的最终目标。 参与者从全国各地的LSAMP机构中挑选。 纽约系统州立大学（纽约州立大学LSAMP）在斯托尼布鲁克大学的领导下，选择宾厄姆顿大学作为2015-2017年BD计划的主办单位，从国家人才库中选出的12名LSAMP认证学生将从事STEM研究，学术和专业发展活动，导致STEM硕士和博士学位完成。在宾厄姆顿大学的BD计划提供了一套全面的支持服务，监控学生的进步，建立一个强大的BD社区，并提高BD学生的学术和专业技能。 自2006年以来，有九批学生在斯托尼布鲁克、布法罗、宾厄姆顿和奥尔巴尼就读于纽约州立大学LSAMP研究生LSAMP-BD课程。 该计划促进研究生教育实践和政策的系统性变革，以提高博士生个人的成功和STEM研究生课程的有效性，继续实现美国STEM劳动力多样化的目标。宾厄姆顿大学的课程将进行外部评估，学生将在整个课程中进行跟踪，并在完成STEM博士学位课程后进入STEM职业生涯。与其他STEM网络和资源内部和外部的状态以及其他研究生课程，如NSF的研究生研究奖学金计划（GRFP），研究生教育联盟和教授（AGEP）和机构资源的合作将进一步确保学生完成STEM终端学位。

The 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 from historically underrepresented minority populations to successfully complete high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate (LSAMP-BD) activity provides two-year support at the postbaccalaurate level for students from historically underrepresented minority populations to matriculate in STEM graduate programs with the ultimate goal of earning a doctoral degree in a STEM discipline. Participants are selected from LSAMP institutions nationwide. The State University of New York System Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SUNY LSAMP) under the leadership of Stony Brook University has chosen Binghamton University as the host site for the 2015-2017 BD program in which a cohort of twelve LSAMP certified students selected from the national pool will engage in STEM research, academics and professional development activities leading to STEM Master's and Doctoral degree completion. The BD program at Binghamton University provides a comprehensive set of support services that monitors student progress, builds a strong BD community, and increases BD students' academic and professional skills. Nine cohorts of students have matriculated in SUNY LSAMP graduate LSAMP-BD programs at Stony Brook, Buffalo, Binghamton and Albany since 2006. The programs promote systemic change in graduate education practices and policy in ways that increase the success of individual students on the doctoral pathway and the effectiveness of STEM graduate programs, continuing the goal of diversifying America's STEM workforce. The program at Binghamton University will be externally evaluated and students will be tracked throughout the program and into STEM careers following completion of STEM doctoral degree programs. Collaborations with other STEM networks and resources internal and external to the state as well as other graduate programs, such as NSF's Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP), Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) and institutional resources will further ensure that students complete the STEM terminal degree.
