The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative recruitment and retention strategies and experiences in support of groups historically under-represented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity provides support for postbaccalaureate studies in STEM programs leading to the STEM doctoral degree. The University of Georgia (UGA) is the host site for the 2017-2019 Bridge to the Doctorate (B2D) program for the Peach State Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (PSLAMP) under the leadership of University of Georgia. This is the first post-baccalaureate program at the institution that supports a graduate student cohort of 12 underrepresented minority (URM) STEM Ph.D. students from LSAMP campuses across the nation. The BD Activity provides extensive training in specific STEM disciplines as well as professional development and guidance that promote peer mentoring and leadership in the scientific community. Students receive rigorous academic and research training experiences that support completion of the Ph.D. and the transition to a competitive career in academia and industry. Over the duration of the project and beyond, the BD program at UGA serves to increase the number and quality of students from underrepresented groups completing STEM Ph.D. degrees and entering the STEM workforce. Formative and summative evaluation will occur with the summative evaluation including a comparison group to assess impact of the program interventions on student outcomes. The evaluation question asks: Are PSLAMP completers who participate in B2D more likely than PSLAMP completers who do not participate in B2D to complete doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines?The long-term impact of the BD activity is reflected in America's STEM workforce, both in academia and in industrial research and development. By nurturing future STEM leaders, the value added is seen in the visibility of underrepresented minorities in science and engineering, increasing representation and providing role models and motivation for the next generation.

路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划致力于显着增加成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科高质量学位课程的学生数量，从而帮助大学和学院实现 STEM 劳动力多元化。特别强调通过创新的招募和保留策略和经验来改变 STEM 教育，以支持历史上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的群体：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。通往博士学位的桥梁 (BD) 活动为获得 STEM 博士学位的 STEM 项目的学士后研究提供支持。佐治亚大学 (UGA) 是桃州路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (PSLAMP) 2017-2019 年博士桥梁 (B2D) 项目的主办地，该项目由佐治亚大学领导。这是该机构的第一个学士学位后项目，为 12 名代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) STEM 博士研究生群体提供支持。来自全国 LSAMP 校园的学生。 BD 活动提供特定 STEM 学科的广泛培训以及专业发展和指导，以促进科学界的同行指导和领导力。学生将接受严格的学术和研究培训经验，以支持完成博士学位。以及向学术界和工业界竞争性职业的过渡。在项目期间及之后，佐治亚大学的 BD 项目致力于增加来自代表性不足群体的完成 STEM 博士学位的学生的数量和质量。学位并进入 STEM 劳动力队伍。 形成性评估和总结性评估将与总结性评估一起进行，包括一个对照组，以评估项目干预措施对学生成绩的影响。 评估问题提出：参与 B2D 的 PSLAMP 完成者是否比不参与 B2D 的 PSLAMP 完成者更有可能完成 STEM 学科的博士学位？ BD 活动的长期影响反映在美国的 STEM 劳动力中，无论是在学术界还是在工业研发方面。通过培养未来的 STEM 领导者，增加的价值体现在科学和工程领域代表性不足的少数群体的可见度、增加代表性并为下一代提供榜样和动力。
