The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the 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." Since national security and economic vitality of the United States require a highly trained domestic STEM workforce, institutions engaged in the most advanced levels of research and innovation must do their part to train tomorrow's leaders in STEM. The Wisconsin LSAMP BD (WiscAMP-BD) builds on the growing diversity of undergraduate students who are completing their Baccalaureate degrees in STEM. The long-term outcome of the WiscAMP-BD effort will be to increase the diversity of leaders throughout academic science and engineering. It is the academic leaders who direct the nation's research agenda, set public policy, establish international collaborations with global impact, and train the scientific workforce.The WiscAMP-BD program has the following objectives:1) To recruit and enroll a cohort of twelve BD Fellows into any of the 54 STEM doctoral programs at UW-Madison;2) To pair each of the students who are strong candidates for graduate study and are underrepresented in STEM with faculty mentors who are engaged in cutting-edge research and committed to mentoring students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups; and3) To establish a community of practice for WiscAMP-BD Fellows to support the development of eight core competencies and their persistence to the STEM doctoral degree.These efforts will increase the diversity of STEM academic leadership and contribute to the growing literature on broadening participation in STEM at the graduate and post-graduate level.

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划通过培养来自历史上 STEM 学科代表性不足的群体的极具竞争力的学生，帮助大学和学院实现 STEM 劳动力的多元化：非裔美国人、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) 活动的目标是提高代表性不足人群中 STEM 研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位。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 NSF 2014-2018 年战略计划的目标之一，即“整合教育和研究，支持培养具有尖端能力的多元化 STEM 劳动力”。 由于美国的国家安全和经济活力需要训练有素的国内 STEM 劳动力，从事最先进水平的研究和创新的机构必须尽自己的一份力量来培训未来的 STEM 领导者。威斯康星州 LSAMP BD (WiscAMP-BD) 建立在正在完成 STEM 学士学位的本科生日益多样化的基础上。 WiscAMP-BD 努力的长期成果将是增加整个学术科学和工程领域领导者的多样性。指导国家研究议程、制定公共政策、建立具有全球影响力的国际合作以及培训科学人才的是学术领导者。WiscAMP-BD 计划有以下目标：1) 招募并招收 12 名 BD 研究员，加入威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校 54 个 STEM 博士课程中的任何一个；2) 将每一位有实力攻读研究生但在 STEM 领域代表性不足的学生与他们配对 从事前沿研究并致力于指导来自代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的学生的教师导师； 3) 为 WiscAMP-BD 研究员建立一个实践社区，以支持八项核心能力的发展以及他们对 STEM 博士学位的坚持。这些努力将增加 STEM 学术领导力的多样性，并有助于不断增加关于扩大研究生和研究生级别 STEM 参与的文献。
