Students from groups underrepresented in the sciences are more likely to take post-baccalaureate classes or pursue a Master's degree before applying to Ph.D. programs. The goal of the Columbia Bridge-to-PhD Program is to increase the number of underrepresented scholars entering STEM PhD programs and to give them the skills necessary for success in those programs. One such necessity is a network of mentors and colleagues. The program holds a half-day symposium every year with returning alumni sharing their experiences. This grant will support a "Super Symposium" to evaluate the lessons learned from the the ten-year history of the program. Funds will support travel costs of program alumni to attend the symposium.The PI has begun analyzing the impact of the program on students' graduate career trajectories. His data show that the program has a high success rate for students admitted to PhD programs, with 80% of the program's applicants being accepted. Preliminary data show that the Bridge Program's alumni are more likely to be admitted to higher-ranked, less diverse graduate programs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

来自科学领域未被充分代表的群体的学生更有可能在申请博士课程之前参加学士后课程或攻读硕士学位。哥伦比亚桥到博士项目的目标是增加进入STEM博士项目的人数，并为他们提供在这些项目中取得成功所需的技能。其中一个必要条件就是导师和同事的关系网。该计划每年都会举办半天的研讨会，让归国校友分享他们的经验。这笔拨款将支持一个“超级研讨会”，以评估从该计划的十年历史中吸取的教训。基金将支持项目校友参加研讨会的旅费。PI已经开始分析该项目对学生毕业后职业轨迹的影响。他的数据显示，该项目在攻读博士学位的学生中成功率很高，80%的申请者被录取。初步数据显示，桥梁项目的校友更有可能被排名更高、多样性更低的研究生项目录取。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
