项目摘要

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 University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), lead institution of PROMISE: MD's Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) and the University System of Maryland (USM) LSAMP, will be the host site for the 2015-2017 USM BD Program. The activities of UMBC's program provide BD Fellows with a positive doctoral experience that includes meaningful initiatives such as professional leadership, community networking, and improved discipline-specific group and individual mentoring that have demonstrated positive impact on retention and successful graduation. Therefore, the efforts at UMBC will continue to contribute to increasing the diversity and representation in academia and the STEM workforce, thereby increasing the nation's competitiveness.The proposed training for the 2015-2017 cohort of BD Fellows is extensive. The academic departments at UMBC have enthusiastically embraced the BD Program and are true partners in the success of the BD Fellows who will be heavily mentored to ensure they receive strong academic and professional preparation. UMBC's BD Fellows are provided excellent training in core competencies in their disciplines. The BD Fellows will also have the opportunity, early in their academic careers, to conduct cutting-edge research with top research scientists on campus and at national laboratories located in close proximity to UMBC. The proposed activities such as the required university-wide and state-wide research presentations, and training for participation in national and international research efforts, provide the BD Fellows with creative ways to enhance their preparation for STEM careers. Furthermore, the planned training in leadership, teaching, and mentoring will position the fellows well for future faculty positions, or other areas of the STEM workforce. The team has worked cohesively to facilitate the success of BD Fellows since 2005 and Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) students since 2003. Since the first BD cohort matriculated at UMBC in 2005, 108 BD Fellows have enrolled in STEM graduate programs at UMBC and at the University of Maryland, College Park. USM BD Fellows have earned 9 STEM Ph.Ds. and 47 master's degrees; 63 Fellows are currently persisting in an MS or Ph.D. program (17 students in master's programs and 46 students in doctoral programs).

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实现科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）劳动力的多样化，通过培养来自STEM学科历史上代表性不足的群体的极具竞争力的学生：非洲裔美国人，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岛民。LSAMP桥梁博士（BD）活动的目标是提高STEM研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位。入学和毕业。美国要保持全球竞争力，就必须挖掘所有公民的才能，并在支撑知识经济的STEM领域提供卓越的教育准备。在全国高等教育机构实施的BD计划有助于实现NSF 2014-2018战略计划中的目标之一，即“整合教育和研究，以支持具有尖端能力的多元化STEM劳动力的发展。“马里兰州巴尔的摩县大学（UMBC）是PROMISE的牵头机构：医学博士的研究生教育和教授联盟（AGEP）和马里兰州大学系统（USM）LSAMP，将成为2015-2017年USM BD计划的主办单位。UMBC计划的活动为BD研究员提供了积极的博士经验，其中包括有意义的举措，如专业领导力，社区网络，以及改善特定学科的团体和个人指导，这些都对保留和成功毕业产生了积极的影响。因此，UMBC的努力将继续为增加学术界和STEM劳动力的多样性和代表性做出贡献，从而提高国家的竞争力。2015-2017年BD研究员的拟议培训是广泛的。UMBC的学术部门热情地接受了BD计划，并且是BD研究员成功的真正合作伙伴，他们将受到大量指导，以确保他们获得强大的学术和专业准备。UMBC的BD研究员在其学科的核心能力提供了良好的培训。BD研究员也将有机会，在他们的学术生涯的早期，进行尖端的研究与顶尖的研究科学家在校园和位于靠近UMBC的国家实验室。拟议的活动，如所需的大学范围和全州范围的研究报告，以及参与国家和国际研究工作的培训，为BD研究员提供了创造性的方法，以加强他们对STEM职业的准备。此外，计划中的领导力，教学和指导培训将为未来的教师职位或STEM劳动力的其他领域定位研究员。自2005年以来，该团队一直团结一致，以促进BD研究员的成功，自2003年以来，研究生教育联盟和教授（AGEP）的学生。自2005年第一批BD队列在UMBC录取以来，已有108名BD研究员报名参加了UMBC和马里兰州大学帕克分校的STEM研究生课程。USM BD研究员已获得9干博士学位。47人获得硕士学位; 63人目前正在攻读硕士或博士学位。计划（17名硕士生和46名博士生）。
