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.Howard University will be the host site for the 2018-2020 Washington Baltimore Hampton Road Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Bridge to the Doctorate Program. Drawing upon its historical prowess of being the leading institution in the country that graduates African Americans with advanced degrees, and the number one producer of minority engineers and scientists. Howard University seeks to implement activities that focus on mentoring, professional writing, and classroom teaching experiences, which will support the development of competitive doctoral candidates historically underrepresented in STEM. These activities will be enhanced by the support of the Graduate School Office of Retention, and the Mentoring and Support and Preparing Future Faculty programs. Additionally, relationships between the extant Howard University NSF Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate project will be established and leveraged to further increase the benefit to BD scholars. The BD project at Howard University will be an important step in advancing the career awareness and preparation of underrepresented minority students in STEM and their access to career opportunities as they progress in their educational pursuits.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。霍华德大学将成为2018-2020年华盛顿巴尔的摩汉普顿路路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟通往博士项目的桥梁的主办地点。凭借其作为美国领先的非裔美国人高等学位毕业生的历史实力，以及少数族裔工程师和科学家的头号生产者。霍华德大学寻求实施以指导、专业写作和课堂教学经验为重点的活动，这将支持在STEM领域历史上代表性不足的有竞争力的博士候选人的发展。这些活动将得到研究生院留用办公室以及指导、支持和准备未来教师项目的支持。此外，现有的霍华德大学NSF研究生教育联盟和教授项目之间的关系将建立并利用，以进一步增加BD学者的利益。霍华德大学的BD项目将是提高少数族裔学生在STEM领域的职业意识和准备的重要一步，并使他们在追求教育的过程中获得职业机会。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。
