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 successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative recruitment and retention strategies and experiences in support of groups historically under-represented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity provides support for postbaccalaureate studies in STEM programs leading to the STEM doctoral degree. The University of Delaware (UD), within a National Science Foundation (NSF) designated Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), is the host site for the 2016-2018 BD program for the Greater Philadelphia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation under the leadership of Drexel University. The program supports a graduate student cohort of 12 underrepresented minority (URM) STEM Ph.D. students from LSAMP campuses across the nation. The BD Activity provides extensive training in specific STEM disciplines as well as professional development and guidance that promote peer mentoring and leadership in the scientific community. Students receive rigorous academic and research training experiences that support completion of the Ph.D. and the transition to a competitive career in academia and industry. Over the duration of the project and beyond, the BD program at UD serves to increase the number and quality of students from underrepresented groups completing STEM Ph.D. degrees and entering the professoriate. Evaluation research from the project's implementation has the potential to address the following questions: (1) Beyond Bridge to the Doctorate funded program activities, what are the different methods being used by specific graduate STEM departments and why are certain ones more effective than others in increasing the capacity of specific graduate STEM departments to produce more readily well-qualified underrepresented minority doctoral STEM degree recipients? (2) How will engaging the faculty research advisors of the fellows as a collective group on a regular basis to review scholarly productivity of the individual fellows have an impact on the mentoring experience of the participants and their progression to doctoral completion?The long-term impact of the BD activity is reflected in America's STEM workforce, both in academia and in industrial research and development. By nurturing the future professoriate, as well as the scientific workforce, the value added is seen in the visibility of minorities in science and engineering, increasing representation and providing role models and motivation for the next generation.

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划通过显著增加成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科高质量学位课程的学生人数，帮助大学和学院实现STEM劳动力的多样化。特别强调通过创新的招聘和保留战略和经验来改变STEM教育，以支持在STEM学科中历史上代表性不足的群体：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。桥梁博士学位（BD）活动为STEM项目的博士后研究提供支持，从而获得STEM博士学位。在特拉华州（UD）的大学，在国家科学基金会（NSF）指定的实验计划，以刺激竞争力的研究（EPSCoR），是主办网站为2016-2018 BD计划为大费城路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟的领导下德雷克塞尔大学。该计划支持12个代表性不足的少数民族（URM）STEM博士的研究生队列。来自全国各地LSAMP校园的学生。BD活动在特定STEM学科提供广泛的培训，以及促进科学界同行指导和领导的专业发展和指导。学生获得严格的学术和研究培训经验，支持完成博士学位。以及向学术界和工业界竞争性职业的过渡。在项目的持续时间及以后，在UD的BD程序服务于增加来自代表性不足的群体完成STEM博士学位的学生的数量和质量。学位和进入教授职位。从该项目的实施评估研究有可能解决以下问题：（1）除了桥梁博士资助的计划活动，是什么不同的方法正在使用特定的研究生STEM部门，为什么某些比其他人更有效地提高特定的研究生STEM部门的能力，以产生更容易良好的代表性不足的少数民族博士STEM学位获得者？(2)如何将聘请研究员的教师研究顾问作为一个集体定期审查个人研究员的学术生产力对参与者的指导经验和他们的进展，以完成博士学位的影响？BD活动的长期影响反映在美国的STEM劳动力中，无论是在学术界还是在工业研发领域。通过培养未来的教授和科学工作者，增加的价值体现在少数群体在科学和工程领域的可见度，增加了代表性，为下一代提供了榜样和动力。
