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 Boise State University (BSU), one of the 10 college and universities included in the Pacific Northwest Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (PNW LSAMP). The immediate goal of the PNW Graduate Fellows Program at BSU is to recruit and retain a cohort of twelve LSAMP students through to graduation with a STEM doctoral degree. To ensure the success of underrepresented minority (URM) students at the graduate level, the project will provide a comprehensive framework for academic achievement by emphasizing multidisciplinary learning, building a sense of community and social networking events, incorporating inclusive mentoring strategies that enhance diversity and inclusion, encouraging scientific writing skills development to increase science identity, and integrating career exploration and professional development. Ultimately, the program will be the catalyst to fundamentally transform the structures, mindsets, processes, and programming at BSU so that the institution increases the overall representation and success of historically URM students in their completion of STEM doctoral degree programs. Moreover, the lessons learned from this program will be shared extensively with the other universities in the PNW LSAMP Alliance, across the LSAMP national network, and more generally with the national STEM higher education arena.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 活动的实施地点是博伊西州立大学 (BSU)，该大学是太平洋西北路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (PNW LSAMP) 中包含的 10 所学院和大学之一。 BSU PNW 研究生计划的近期目标是招募并留住 12 名 LSAMP 学生，直至毕业并获得 STEM 博士学位。 为了确保代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）学生在研究生阶段取得成功，该项目将通过强调多学科学习、建立社区意识和社交网络活动、纳入增强多样性和包容性的包容性指导策略、鼓励科学写作技能发展以提高科学认同，以及整合职业探索和专业发展，提供一个全面的学术成就框架。最终，该项目将成为从根本上改变 BSU 的结构、思维方式、流程和规划的催化剂，从而使该机构提高历史上 URM 学生在完成 STEM 博士学位课程时的整体代表性和成功率。 此外，从该计划中汲取的经验教训将与 PNW LSAMP 联盟中的其他大学、整个 LSAMP 国家网络以及更广泛的国家 STEM 高等教育领域广泛分享。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。
