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 competitiveness of STEM graduate students from historically underrepresented minority populations, with emphasis on STEM doctoral matriculation and completion.The 2018-2020 Western Alliance to Expand Student Opportunities (WAESO) LSAMP BD program will recruit twelve (12) alumni from LSAMP institutions nationwide for STEM postbaccalaureate studies at the University of Arizona (UA). Student support in the form of stipends and cost of education are provided for two years for each student. The institution commits to assisting the students financially through research and teaching assistantships as well as through competitive institutional fellowship opportunities to complete the STEM doctoral degree program.The evaluation consists of formative and summative approaches and incorporates the graduate education self-efficacy scale (GESES) instrument which quantifies self-efficacy for academic, research and social skills. Outcomes will be disseminated broadly through the institution's website, scholarly journals, and presentations at STEM professional conferences. The project findings from the research and evaluative activities increases scholarly knowledge on broadening participation in STEM disciplines at the graduate and post-graduate level while contributing to the diversity of the nation's STEM workforce.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）计划帮助大学和学院通过培养具有高度竞争力的学生来实现STEM劳动力的多样化，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岛民。该LSAMP桥博士（BD）活动的目标是增加STEM研究生的数量和竞争力，从历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口，重点是STEM博士入学和完成。2018-2020年西部联盟扩大学生机会（WAESO）LSAMP BD计划将招收十二（12）来自全国LSAMP机构的校友在亚利桑那大学（UA）进行STEM学士后研究。 以助学金和教育费用的形式为每个学生提供两年的学生支助。该机构致力于通过研究和教学助学金以及通过竞争性的机构奖学金机会来资助学生完成STEM博士学位课程。评估包括形成性和总结性方法，并采用研究生教育自我效能量表（GESES）工具，量化学术，研究和社交技能的自我效能。 成果将通过该机构的网站，学术期刊和STEM专业会议上的演讲广泛传播。通过研究和评估活动得出的项目结果，在促进国家STEM人才多样性的同时，也增加了在本科生和研究生层面扩大STEM学科参与的学术知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
