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. 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 composition of the STEM workforce in the United States, particularly workers with advanced degrees, does not reflect the demographics of the general population. By 2020, more than half of the children under the age of 5 will be part of an underrepresented racial/ethnic group. The goal of the California LSAMP (CAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) activity at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) is to increase the quality and diversity of students successfully completing STEM doctoral degree programs and increase the diversity of graduates entering the STEM workforce with the highest level of education.UC Davis will host the 2016-2018 cohort of the CAMP BD, which will provide fellowship support to 12 underrepresented STEM Ph.D. students. The BD activity at UC Davis is developed based on evidence-based practices and builds on previous successes of other partner institutions in the CAMP alliance. BD Fellows will benefit from state-of-the-art research facilities and a connective network of their peers, post-docs, and faculty, who will be instrumental to their success along the degree pathway. UC Davis' BD will offer professional development and rigorous training in specific STEM disciplines through interactive training and activities that promote networking and leadership in the scientific and engineering communities. In addition, strong community-building activities and events that bring the family into the support network will be pursued. The findings, lessons learned, and impact of the UC Davis BD will be disseminated through social networks, publications, presentations at national meetings, and data sharing processes with NSF-affiliated initiatives and diversity consortiums. UC Davis will implement a rigorous evaluation and longitudinal study of CAMP BD programs, which would result in improved understanding about the effectiveness of programs that seek to increase the diversity and inclusiveness of doctoral-level training in the STEM fields.

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。 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。“美国STEM劳动力的组成，特别是具有高级学位的工人，并不反映一般人口的人口统计数据。到2020年，超过一半的5岁以下儿童将属于代表性不足的种族/族裔群体。加州大学戴维斯分校的加州LSAMP（CAMP）博士学位桥梁（BD）活动的目标（加州大学戴维斯分校）是提高学生的质量和多样性，成功完成STEM博士学位课程，并增加毕业生进入STEM劳动力的多样性与最高水平的教育。加州大学戴维斯分校将主办2016-2018年队列的CAMP BD，将为12名代表性不足的STEM博士提供奖学金支持。学生 UC Davis的BD活动是基于循证实践开发的，并建立在CAMP联盟其他合作机构以前的成功基础上。BD研究员将受益于最先进的研究设施和他们的同行，博士后和教师，谁将有助于他们的成功沿着学位途径的连接网络。UC Davis的BD将通过互动式培训和活动，促进科学和工程界的网络和领导力，在特定的STEM学科提供专业发展和严格培训。此外，还将开展强有力的社区建设活动和活动，将家庭纳入支助网络。调查结果，经验教训和加州大学戴维斯分校BD的影响将通过社交网络，出版物，在全国会议上的演讲，以及与NSF附属倡议和多样性财团的数据共享过程进行传播。加州大学戴维斯分校将对CAMP BD计划进行严格的评估和纵向研究，这将有助于提高对旨在增加STEM领域博士级培训的多样性和包容性的计划的有效性的理解。
