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." The vision of this grant is to provide a national model to produce underrepresented scientists and engineers with doctoral degrees in STEM.Drexel University (DU) serves as host of a Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) project within the Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation. The DU BD activity employs a multifaceted model that integrates research, education, and mentoring to address challenges underrepresented students face in doctoral programs. As such this project seeks to (1) recruit twelve students into Ph.D. degree programs at Drexel University; (2) develop each student in their science or engineering discipline through individual and group mentorship and graduate professional development activities; (3) engage and retain these students through the completion of the Ph.D., and (4) monitor all student progress through Ph.D. completion into the professoriate and/or industry. The program components are executed via academic coursework for scientific and technical competency that prepares BD students for the doctoral degree qualifying and candidacy examinations; substantive cutting-edge laboratory research experiences beginning in the first-year to expose fellows to research that can form the basis for their doctoral dissertation; professional development experiences such as workshops, seminars and/or conferences to help students to develop the ancillary skills needed for personal and professional success; facilitated interaction with faculty and peers to fully integrate students into research groups; opportunities for students to present their research nationally and/or internationally to promote their engagement with the larger scientific and technical community; and opportunities for student reflection, and the development of coping skills to contextualize the pressures and challenges associated with graduate study.

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通过培养具有高度竞争力的学生来实现STEM劳动力的多样化，这些学生来自历史上在STEM学科中代表性不足的群体：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。“这笔赠款的愿景是提供一个全国性的模式，以产生代表性不足的科学家和工程师在干博士学位。德雷克塞尔大学（杜）担任大费城地区路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟内的博士学位（BD）项目的桥梁主机。 DU BD活动采用了多方面的模式，整合了研究，教育和指导，以解决博士课程中代表性不足的学生面临的挑战。 因此，该项目旨在（1）招收12名博士生在德雷克塞尔大学的学位课程;（2）通过个人和团体导师和研究生专业发展活动，发展每个学生在他们的科学或工程学科;（3）通过完成博士学位，吸引和留住这些学生，以及（4）监控所有学生通过博士学位的进展。完成到教授和/或行业。 该计划的组成部分是通过学术课程的科学和技术能力，准备BD学生的博士学位资格和候选人考试执行;实质性的尖端实验室研究经验，从第一年开始，让研究员接触研究，可以形成他们的博士论文的基础;专业发展经验，例如研讨会、研讨会和/或会议，以帮助学生发展个人和职业成功所需的辅助技能;促进与教师和同行的互动，以充分融入研究小组的学生;机会，让学生介绍他们的研究在国内和/或国际上，以促进他们与更大的科学和技术界的参与;学生反思的机会，以及应对技能的发展，以适应与研究生学习相关的压力和挑战。
