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 projects 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.Jackson State University is committed to increasing the diversity of a highly educated STEM workforce. Through this project, JSU will provide students with challenging research and academic experiences to develop academic and collaboration skills. In addition, the project will improve professional, personal, and networking skills through conference attendance, peer group meetings and discussions, research presentations, and exposure to new and challenging environments through national and international internships. The project will contribute to the national need of increasing the number of highly qualified STEM doctoral graduates who will serve as researchers and trainers of future STEM students particularly in the minority-serving institutions, while enhancing its capacity to provide such benefits to students. The project utilizes a cohort approach for recruiting qualified students who intend to complete their master's program and then transition to a doctoral program at a research intensive institution. The transition of the participating students to doctoral programs is facilitated through well organized activities, such as strong project orientation, research mentorship, weekly participation in cohort meetings that focus on self-improvement through sharing with peers, exposure to role models through lecture series, and attending national and international research internships and conferences to facilitate the development of their professional networks.

Louis Stokes少数族裔参与联盟(LSAMP)计划通过培养在STEM学科中历来代表性较低的群体中具有高度竞争力的学生，帮助大学和学院实现STEM劳动力的多样化：非洲裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民、美国印第安人、西班牙裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋原住民。LSAMP通向博士的桥梁(BD)活动的目标是提高STEM研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士入学和完成学业。在全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，以支持具有尖端能力的多样化STEM劳动力的发展。”为了保持美国在全球的竞争力，它必须在支撑知识经济的STEM领域提供出色的教育准备。杰克逊州立大学致力于增加受过高等教育的STEM劳动力的多样性。通过这个项目，JSU将为学生提供具有挑战性的研究和学术经验，以发展学术和合作技能。此外，该项目将通过参加会议、同行小组会议和讨论、研究报告以及通过国内和国际实习接触新的和具有挑战性的环境来提高专业、个人和网络技能。该项目将有助于国家需要更多高素质的STEM博士毕业生，他们将担任未来STEM学生的研究人员和培训者，特别是在为少数群体服务的机构，同时加强其为学生提供此类好处的能力。该项目利用队列方法招收打算完成硕士课程的合格学生，然后过渡到研究密集型机构的博士课程。通过组织良好的活动，如强有力的项目导向、研究指导、每周参加注重于通过与同行分享自我改进的队列会议、通过系列讲座接触榜样以及参加国内和国际研究实习和会议以促进其专业网络的发展，促进了参与学生向博士课程的过渡。
