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 theDoctorate (BD) Activity is to increase the number and competitiveness of STEM graduate students from historically underrepresented minority populations, with emphasis on STEM doctoral matriculation and completion.The 2020-2022 Puerto Rico LSAMP BD (PR-LSAMP-BD) program will recruit twelve (12) alumni from the Territory and LSAMP institutions nationwide for STEM postbaccalaureate studies at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (UPR). UPR's BD program will provide multidisciplinary training in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines at the graduate level to enable a seamless transition from the STEM baccalaureate degree to STEM doctoral studies. Students will receive intense STEM mentoring through participation in faculty mentored research in disciplines such as biological sciences, math and physical sciences,computer science, environmental sciences, engineering and geological sciences. Activities also include STEM professional development activities such as national and international research and conference attendance. In addition, UPR's BD program will implement activities that develop mentoring and team-building skills. The Role Model Seminar series will bring the BD Fellows into contact with successful nationally and internationally recognized researchers thereby creating a mentoring environment that further equips the Fellows. A BD Council has been established to strengthen advisement, counseling and mentorship to the participants as well as address continued sustainability of the program. 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 completion of the STEM doctoral program. Evaluative activities will assess outcomes of students' accomplishments relating to retention, degree completion, and career progress. Social psychological outcomes related to career goals and expectations related to STEM identity development will also be assessed. Outcomes will be disseminated broadly through the institution's website, scholarly journals, and presentations at STEM professional conferences. These efforts will increase the diversity of STEM academic leadership and contribute to the growing literature on broadening participation in STEM at the graduate and post-graduate level.The program will continue to coordinate its activities with other NSF-funded projects that are managed by the Resource Center for Science and Engineering (RCSE) and by pertinent UPR graduate programs. The activities implemented will increase the number of Puerto Rican STEMundergraduate students who apply and are admitted to STEM PhD programs, and increase the number of these students who obtain STEM doctoral degrees. Since 2003, fifty-four BD fellows have earned STEM doctoral degrees and 154 students have participated in the program.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）活动的目标是增加历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口的STEM研究生的数量和竞争力，重点是STEM博士的入学和完成。2020-2022波多黎各LSAMP BD （PR-LSAMP-BD）计划将从领土和全国LSAMP机构招募12名校友，在波多黎各-马亚圭斯大学（UPR）进行STEM学士学位后学习。普遍定期审议的BD计划将在研究生阶段提供科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科的多学科培训，以实现从STEM学士学位到STEM博士学位的无缝过渡。学生将通过参与由教师指导的生物科学、数学和物理科学、计算机科学、环境科学、工程和地质科学等学科的研究，获得密集的STEM指导。活动还包括STEM专业发展活动，如国内和国际研究和会议出席。此外，普遍定期审议的业务发展计划将实施培养指导和团队建设技能的活动。“榜样研讨会”系列活动将使BD研究员与国内外知名的成功研究人员接触，从而创造一个指导环境，进一步装备研究员。成立了BD理事会，加强对参与者的建议、咨询和指导，并解决项目的持续可持续性。为每名学生提供为期两年的津贴和学费形式的学生支助。该机构承诺通过完成STEM博士课程为学生提供经济援助。评估活动将评估学生在保留、学位完成和职业发展方面的成就。与职业目标相关的社会心理结果和与STEM身份发展相关的期望也将被评估。研究结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。这些努力将增加STEM学术领导的多样性，并有助于在研究生和研究生层面扩大STEM参与的文献越来越多。该项目将继续与其他由科学与工程资源中心（RCSE）和相关普遍定期审议研究生项目管理的nsf资助项目协调活动。实施的活动将增加申请和被录取的波多黎各STEM本科学生的数量，并增加这些学生获得STEM博士学位的人数。自2003年以来，已有54位BD研究员获得了STEM博士学位，154名学生参加了该项目。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。
