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 2018-2022 Strategic Plan, namely to foster the growth of a more capable and diverse research workforce and advance the scientific and innovation skills of the Nation. The vision of this grant is to provide a national model to produce underrepresented scientists and engineers with doctoral degrees in STEM.The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) will be the host site for the 2018-2020 Alabama Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Bridge to the Doctorate (LSAMP BD) Program. The activities of UAB's intensive, highly interactive program will provide diverse graduate students who are Alabama LSAMP BD Fellows with research training in STEM disciplines. Retention strategies for BD students at UAB will be carried out by providing the best available research experiences and resources; establishing appropriate faculty guidance; quality mentoring and providing the support needed to accomplish the goal of earning doctoral degrees in STEM. Additionally, students will participate in special topic seminars, professional and social networking activities, receive group and individual career counseling, and engage in internship opportunities and travel to attend professional conferences. The project will build upon existing relationships between UAB and other universities, national laboratories and NSF programs such as EPSCoR, to increase the number of minority students enrolling and matriculating in MS and PhD STEM 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.

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）项目帮助大学和学院通过培养具有高度竞争力的学生，使STEM劳动力多样化，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原住民。LSAMP通往博士学位的桥梁（BD）活动的目标是增加来自代表性不足人群的STEM研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位的入学和完成。在美国高等教育机构实施的BD项目有助于实现美国国家科学基金会2018-2022年战略计划的目标之一，即培养一支更有能力和多样化的研究队伍，提高国家的科学和创新技能。这项资助的愿景是提供一个全国性的模式，以培养具有STEM博士学位的代表性不足的科学家和工程师。阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）将成为2018-2020年阿拉巴马州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与博士学位桥梁联盟（LSAMP BD）项目的主办地点。UAB密集，高度互动的项目活动将为阿拉巴马州LSAMP BD研究员提供STEM学科的研究培训。为UAB的BD学生提供最好的研究经验和资源；建立适当的教师指导；提供高质量的指导，并为完成获得STEM博士学位的目标提供所需的支持。此外，学生将参加专题研讨会，专业和社交网络活动，接受团体和个人职业咨询，并获得实习机会和参加专业会议的旅行。该项目将建立在UAB与其他大学、国家实验室和NSF项目（如EPSCoR）之间的现有关系基础上，以增加少数民族学生注册和录取理科硕士和博士研究生课程的人数。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。
