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 PhD 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 performance site for this LSAMP BD Activity is Rutgers University, Newark, one of the eight college and universities included in the Garden State Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (GSLSAMP). The project will recruit a cohort of 12 qualified LSAMP fellows and support them financially, academically and socially through their graduate program using an innovative flexible structure that is individualized to the desires and needs of the fellow. In addition to providing substantial financial support to enable students to focus full time on graduate-level course work and research, the project provides an integrated set of best practices designed to advance BD students toward completion of doctoral level studies. The best practices include tracking/monitoring, critical point interventions, Graduate Research Fellowship Program and other support workshops, bridge-to-the-bridge orientation, post-doctoral application workshops and others. The optional activities include opportunities with the Minority Biomedical Research Support program, GSLSAMP, the Newark STEAM coalition ecosystem and the wealth of professional, educational, outreach and research STEM opportunities in the New York metropolitan area.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族裔参与联盟 (LSAMP) 计划通过培养来自历史上 STEM 学科代表性不足的群体的极具竞争力的学生，帮助大学和学院实现 STEM 劳动力的多元化：非裔美国人、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) 活动的目标是提高少数群体中 STEM 研究生的数量和质量，重点是博士学位的入学和完成。 在国家高等教育机构实施的 BD 项目有助于实现 NSF 2018-2022 年战略计划的目标之一，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国家模式，培养代表性不足的科学家和工程师，并获得 STEM 博士学位。本次 LSAMP BD 活动的表演地点是纽瓦克市罗格斯大学，该大学是花园州路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (GSLSAMP) 中包括的八所学院和大学之一。 该项目将招募 12 名合格的 LSAMP 研究员，并使用根据研究员的愿望和需求进行个性化定制的创新灵活结构，通过研究生课程为他们提供经济、学术和社会方面的支持。 除了提供大量的财政支持以使学生能够全职专注于研究生水平的课程工作和研究之外，该项目还提供了一套综合的最佳实践，旨在促进 BD 学生完成博士水平的学习。 最佳实践包括跟踪/监控、关键点干预、研究生研究奖学金计划和其他支持研讨会、桥梁到桥梁定向、博士后应用研讨会等。 可选活动包括少数民族生物医学研究支持计划、GSLSAMP、纽瓦克 STEAM 联盟生态系统的机会以及纽约大都市区丰富的专业、教育、推广和研究 STEM 机会。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。
