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." 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. With a longstanding commitment to enhancing diversity through inclusion of all individuals, Colorado State University (CSU), lead institution of the Colorado LSAMP (CO-AMP), proposes to extend educational opportunities for 12 underrepresented graduate students as Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Fellows for two years. The CO-AMP BD at Colorado State will focus on 1) increasing the number of underrepresented students who successfully complete STEM doctoral programs and 2) continuing to implement institutional change for all underrepresented graduate students at CSU. Through a well-developed series of professional development opportunities, coupled with ongoing individual mentoring and networking, BD Fellows will be well prepared to compete as cutting-edge scientists, contributing to social, economic, and academic change and outcomes, where they will serve as role models for the matriculated students underrepresented in STEM areas. In addition, the developmental components of CSU's BD will be extended to all graduate programs within the university, positively impacting the culture at CSU. Ultimately, it will result in not only an increase in STEM doctoral recipients from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, but also the honing of evidence-based practices for the recruitment, selection, and mentoring of underrepresented graduate students in STEM disciplines.

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划协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。科罗拉多州立大学（CSU）长期致力于通过包容所有个人来增强多样性，是科罗拉多LSAMP（CO-AMP）的牵头机构，它提议将12名代表性不足的研究生作为通往博士学位的桥梁研究员的教育机会延长两年。 在科罗拉多州的CO-AMP BD将专注于1）增加成功完成STEM博士课程的代表性不足的学生人数，2）继续为CSU所有代表性不足的研究生实施制度变革。通过一系列完善的专业发展机会，再加上持续的个人指导和网络，BD研究员将做好充分准备，作为尖端科学家竞争，为社会，经济和学术变革和成果做出贡献，他们将作为STEM领域代表性不足的入学学生的榜样。此外，CSU的BD的发展组成部分将扩展到大学内的所有研究生课程，积极影响CSU的文化。最终，它不仅会导致来自代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的STEM博士学位获得者的增加，而且还会磨练以证据为基础的做法，以招募，选择和指导STEM学科中代表性不足的研究生。
