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）项目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学科中历史上代表性不足的群体的高竞争力学生：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原住民。LSAMP通往博士学位的桥梁（BD）活动的目标是增加来自代表性不足人群的STEM研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位的入学和完成。在美国高等教育机构实施的BD项目有助于实现美国国家科学基金会2014-2018年战略计划的目标之一，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”。美国STEM劳动力的构成，特别是拥有高等学位的工人，并不能反映普通人口的人口结构。到2020年，超过一半的5岁以下儿童将属于未被充分代表的种族/族裔群体。加州大学戴维斯分校（UC Davis）的加州LSAMP （CAMP）通往博士学位（BD）活动的目标是提高成功完成STEM博士学位课程的学生的质量和多样性，并增加具有最高教育水平的毕业生进入STEM劳动力的多样性。加州大学戴维斯分校将主办2016-2018年CAMP BD队列，该队列将为12名代表性不足的STEM博士生提供奖学金支持。加州大学戴维斯分校的BD活动是基于循证实践开发的，并建立在CAMP联盟中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，以及由同行、博士后和教师组成的联系网络，这将有助于他们在学位道路上取得成功。加州大学戴维斯分校的BD将通过互动培训和活动，促进科学和工程社区的网络和领导力，提供特定STEM学科的专业发展和严格培训。此外，将开展强有力的社区建设活动和活动，使家庭加入支助网络。加州大学戴维斯分校BD的研究结果、经验教训和影响将通过社会网络、出版物、全国会议上的演讲以及与美国国家科学基金会下属的倡议和多样性联盟的数据共享过程进行传播。加州大学戴维斯分校将对CAMP BD项目进行严格的评估和纵向研究，这将使人们更好地了解旨在增加STEM领域博士水平培训的多样性和包容性的项目的有效性。
