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.Delaware State University (DSU) serves as host of a Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) project within the Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation. The DSU BD activity employs a multifaceted model that integrates research, education, and mentoring to address challenges underrepresented students face in doctoral programs. As such this project seeks to (1) improve the overall graduate experience of STEM graduate students at DSU by increasing the depth and breadth of scientific and professional skills development activities and raising students' awareness of the full range of academic careers; and (2) to further enhance the administrative structure and support to facilitate the long-term sustainability of DSU's graduate programs. The program components are executed via academic coursework for scientific and technical competency that prepares BD students for the doctoral degree qualifying and candidacy examinations; substantive cutting-edge laboratory research experiences beginning in the first-year to expose fellows to research that can form the basis for their doctoral dissertation; professional development experiences such as workshops, seminars and/or conferences to help students to develop the ancillary skills needed for personal and professional success; facilitated interaction with faculty and peers to fully integrate students into research groups; opportunities for students to present their research nationally and/or internationally to promote their engagement with the larger scientific and technical community; and opportunities for student reflection, and the development of coping skills to contextualize the pressures and challenges associated with graduate study.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。 LSAMP桥梁博士（BD）活动的目标是提高STEM研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位。入学和毕业。 在国家高等教育机构实施的BD计划有助于实现NSF 2018-2022战略计划中的目标之一，即“促进更有能力和多样化的研究队伍的发展，并提高国家的科学和创新技能。“这笔赠款的愿景是提供一个全国性的模式，以产生代表性不足的科学家和工程师与博士学位的STEM。特拉华州州立大学（DSU）作为主机的桥梁博士学位（BD）项目在大费城地区路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟。 DSU BD活动采用多方面的模式，将研究，教育和指导相结合，以解决博士课程中代表性不足的学生面临的挑战。 因此，该项目旨在（1）通过增加科学和专业技能发展活动的深度和广度，提高学生对全方位学术生涯的认识，改善DSU STEM研究生的整体研究生体验;和（2）进一步加强行政结构和支持，以促进DSU研究生课程的长期可持续性。 该计划的组成部分是通过学术课程的科学和技术能力，准备BD学生的博士学位资格和候选人考试执行;实质性的尖端实验室研究经验，从第一年开始，让研究员接触研究，可以形成他们的博士论文的基础;专业发展经验，如讲习班，研讨会和/或会议，以帮助学生发展个人和专业成功所需的辅助技能;促进与教师和同行的互动，以充分融入研究小组的学生;机会，让学生介绍他们的研究在国内和/或国际上，以促进他们与更大的科学和技术界的参与;和学生反思的机会，和应对技能的发展，以适应与研究生学习相关的压力和挑战。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得的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来提供支持。
