Bridge to the Doctorate at California State University, Los Angeles: CSU-LSAMP-BD Cohort 14

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”。美国要保持全球竞争力，就必须在支撑知识经济的 STEM 领域提供卓越的教育准备。本次 LSAMP 博士桥活动的演出地点是加州州立大学洛杉矶分校，该校是加州州立大学路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (CSU-LSAMP) 所包含的 23 个加州州立大学校园之一。该项目为 LSAMP 本科课程的 12 名毕业生提供了从硕士水平到博士水平学习的“桥梁”。 硕士水平的体验旨在提高参与者在 STEM 方面的毅力和能力，并促进他们升读博士学位。完成硕士学位后的课程。 除了提供大量的财政支持以使学生能够全职专注于为期两年的硕士水平课程工作和研究之外，该项目还提供了一套综合活动，旨在促进 BD 学生完成博士水平的学习。 活动包括： (1) 每月和每学期与 BD 项目总监举行会议，以监控学生的进度并提供全面的建议； (2) 一系列研讨会，重点关注研究生院适应和成功所需的信息/工具； (3) 书面支持； （4）每周专业研讨会； （五）社区建设活动； (6) 通过与博士项目的教师和项目合作，将研究员与博士项目“联系起来”。机构； (7) 协助申请博士学位。计划、财政援助和研究金计划。

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." For the U.S. to remain competitive globally, it must provide exceptional educational preparedness in STEM areas that underpin the knowledge-based economy. The performance site for this LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate Activity is California State University, Los Angeles, one of the 23 California State University campuses included in the California State University-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP). The project provides a Master's level "bridge" to doctoral-level study for a cohort of 12 graduates of LSAMP undergraduate programs. The Master's-level experience is designed to increase participant persistence and competencies in STEM and their advancement to Ph.D. programs following completion of the Master's degree. In addition to providing substantial financial support to enable students to focus full time on a two-year program of Master's-level course work and research, the project provides an integrated set of activities designed to advance BD students toward completion of doctoral level studies. Activities include: (1) monthly and semester meetings with the BD Project Director to monitor student progress and provide comprehensive advisement; (2) a workshop series focused on information/tools needed for adjustment to and success in graduate school; (3) writing support; (4) weekly professional seminars; (5) community building activities; (6) "connecting" Fellows to doctoral programs through collaborations with faculty and programs at Ph.D. institutions; and (7) assistance with applications to Ph.D. programs, financial aid and fellowship programs.
