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).

Louis Stokes少数族裔参与联盟(LSAMP)计划帮助大学和学院通过培养具有高度竞争力的学生来实现科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)劳动力的多元化，这些学生来自历史上在STEM学科中代表性较低的群体：非洲裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、美国印第安人、西班牙裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民。LSAMP通向博士的桥梁(BD)活动的目标是提高STEM研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士入学和完成学业。对于保持全球竞争力的美国来说，至关重要的是挖掘其所有公民的才华，并在支撑知识经济的STEM领域提供出色的教育准备。在全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样化STEM劳动力的发展。”马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校(UMBC)是承诺的牵头机构：MD研究生教育和教授联盟(AGEP)和马里兰大学系统(USM)LSAMP，将成为2015-2017年USM BD项目的举办地。UMBC项目的活动为BD研究员提供了积极的博士经历，其中包括有意义的倡议，如专业领导力、社区网络，以及改进的特定学科的小组和个人指导，这些已证明对留住和成功毕业产生了积极影响。因此，密歇根大学的努力将继续有助于增加学术界和STEM劳动力的多样性和代表性，从而提高国家的竞争力。为2015-2017年的BD研究员队列拟议的培训是广泛的。UMBC的学术部门热情地接受了BD计划，是BD研究员成功的真正合作伙伴，他们将得到大量指导，以确保他们获得强有力的学术和专业准备。UMBC的BD研究员在各自学科的核心能力方面得到了出色的培训。BD研究员还将有机会在他们学术生涯的早期，与顶尖研究科学家在校园内和位于密歇根大学附近的国家实验室进行尖端研究。拟议的活动，如大学范围和全州范围内所需的研究报告，以及参与国家和国际研究努力的培训，为BD研究员提供了创造性的方式，以加强他们为STEM职业生涯做准备。此外，计划中的领导力、教学和指导方面的培训将使研究员很好地为未来的教师职位或STEM劳动力的其他领域做好准备。自2005年以来，该团队一直通力合作，促进BD研究员的成功，自2003年以来，促进研究生教育和教授学生联盟(AGEP)的成功。自2005年第一批BD学员被密歇根大学录取以来，已有108名BD研究员在密歇根大学和马里兰大学帕克分校攻读STEM研究生课程。USM BD研究员已获得9个STEM博士学位。和47个硕士学位；63名研究员目前正在继续攻读硕士或博士学位(17名硕士研究生和46名博士研究生)。
