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 provides support for post-baccalaureate studies in STEM programs leading to STEM graduate degrees for those students who were active (certified) participants in LSAMP activities as undergraduates. The University System of Maryland (USM) Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP), with the University of Maryland, Baltimore County as the lead institution, has strengthened both the undergraduate and graduate education pipelines and has created an expanded community of scholars within STEM disciplines. USM's BD Activity advances knowledge and understanding of graduate recruitment, retention, and persistence of underrepresented students in STEM fields. As a result, this program has provided and will continue to provide the country with well-trained, highly-skilled STEM professionals who will have core competencies in their disciplines and excellent training in research. The University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) is the host site for the 2016-2018 Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity for the USM-LSAMP. USM's BD supports 12 STEM graduate students selected from LSAMP programs across the nation and Puerto Rico. The BD Activity at UMCP will broaden participation of underrepresented students in STEM doctoral programs and in STEM research, by providing financial, academic, professional and social support to a cohort of 12 graduate students. Through BD community meetings, advising, counseling and follow-up, BD Fellows will experience a smooth transition into graduate education and become engaged in a supportive community comprised of students, faculty and staff. Additionally, BD Fellows will expand their research and professional training through numerous opportunities to participate in scientific meetings and research symposia. USM's BD will expand students' access to professional and personal development resources through a series of activities in collaboration with the UMCP Sloan Scholars Program, the UMCP GEM Fellows Program, and the Maryland Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) Program.

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。 BD为STEM项目的学士后研究提供支持，为那些作为本科生积极（认证）参与LSAMP活动的学生提供STEM研究生学位。马里兰州大学系统（USM）路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）以巴尔的摩县的马里兰州大学为牵头机构，加强了本科和研究生教育渠道，并在STEM学科中建立了一个扩大的学者社区。USM的BD活动促进了对STEM领域毕业生招聘，保留和代表性不足的学生的持续性的认识和理解。因此，该计划已经并将继续为该国提供训练有素，高技能的STEM专业人员，他们将在各自的学科中拥有核心能力和出色的研究培训。该马里兰州学院公园（UMCP）的大学是2016-2018桥博士（BD）活动USM-LSAMP的主办网站。USM的BD支持12个从全国各地和波多黎各LSAMP计划中选出的STEM研究生。 UMCP的BD活动将通过为12名研究生提供财务，学术，专业和社会支持，扩大代表性不足的学生在STEM博士课程和STEM研究中的参与。通过BD社区会议，咨询，辅导和后续行动，BD研究员将经历顺利过渡到研究生教育，并成为由学生，教师和工作人员组成的支持性社区参与。此外，BD研究员将通过参加科学会议和研究研讨会的众多机会来扩大他们的研究和专业培训。USM的BD将通过与UMCP斯隆学者计划，UMCP GEM研究员计划和马里兰州研究生教育联盟和教授（AGEP）计划合作的一系列活动，扩大学生获得专业和个人发展资源的机会。
