The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce for the nation through their efforts at significantly increasing the competitiveness and numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority (URM) populations to successfully complete high quality degree programs in STEM.Clemson University proposes to establish a Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program to significantly increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation of underrepresented students in engineering and science with a focus on advanced materials. Clemson University is a member of the Louis Stokes South Carolina Alliance for Minority Participation (LS-SCAMP). The Clemson University BD (CUBD) program will recruit a single cohort of twelve doctoral students. Twelve departments in two colleges have committed to participate in this program. A unique feature of this program is that the research and scholarly focus of the students in this program will be advanced materials, which are key to advanced manufacturing and economic development within South Carolina and the United States. As a result, the CUBD scholars will be part of an interdisciplinary cohort group. The CUBD program will initiate a program to prepare underrepresented minority graduate STEM students to secure and thrive in research-based careers. As research, industry and technology warrant the advancement of the materials genome for multi-functional, adaptive and advanced materials, the Clemson University Bridge to the Doctorate (CUBD) Program addresses the need to support, train and integrate a diverse body of researchers and research experiences the CUBD program will focus on developing a diverse cohort of scientific leaders with expertise in leading advanced materials research. This effort will drive fundamental advances in inorganic and organic materials to inform and define future research directions for the development of advanced materials and systems across a spectrum of applications. The topic was selected and refined based on (1) South Carolina’s (SC)’s strategic educational and economic priorities; (2) broad subject expertise across many departments at Clemson; (3) significant presence of materials-based manufacturing in SC; (4) alignment of the project with the large, statewide, NSF-funded EPSCoR Track 1 RII award entitled Materials Assembly and Design Excellence (MADE) in SC; and (4) national strategic priorities (i.e., the Materials Genome Initiative [MGI]). The PhD scholars participating in the CUBD program will conduct research in advanced materials, which is well aligned with national, state, and institutional research priorities. Individual projects will integrate experimental/theory, simulation, and data science approaches to accelerate the development and deployment of advanced materials. The innovation of the CUBD Program lies in the interpretation and delivery of a culturally sustaining pedagogical model of graduate student socialization. This project will explore the potential of leveraging existing university resources to enhance the experience of underrepresented minority graduate students. This will expand our awareness of how universities can identify and position their resources to support a sustainable model that is appropriately responsive to the needs of their underrepresented minority STEM graduate students. Additionally, this project will provide an understanding of how underrepresented minority graduate STEM students can be socialized to become thriving researchers in the academy, private industry, non-governmental organizations, and government agencies. This approach will specifically contribute to our understanding of how cultural values related to racial and ethnic identity can be utilized to positively influence this process to develop graduates committed to their role as researchers. Individually and collectively, the CUBD scholars will advance research on the processing, characterization, and properties of a broad class of materials.The project is jointly funded by the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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）计划协助大学和学院实现科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）劳动力的国家，通过他们的努力，显着提高竞争力和学生人数从历史上代表性不足的少数民族（URM）人口成功完成高质量的学位课程在干.克莱姆森大学建议建立一个桥梁博士学位（BD）该计划旨在显著增加工程和科学领域代表性不足的学生的招聘，保留和毕业，重点是先进材料。克莱姆森大学是路易斯·斯托克斯南卡罗来纳州少数民族参与联盟（LS-SCAMP）的成员。该克莱姆森大学BD（CUBD）计划将招收12名博士生的单一队列。两个学院的12个系已承诺参加该计划。 该项目的一个独特之处是，该项目学生的研究和学术重点将是先进材料，这是南卡罗来纳州和美国先进制造业和经济发展的关键。因此，CUBD学者将成为跨学科队列组的一部分。CUBD计划将启动一项计划，为代表性不足的少数民族研究生STEM学生做好准备，以确保他们在研究型职业中的安全和发展。由于研究，工业和技术保证了多功能，自适应和先进材料的材料基因组的进步，克莱姆森大学博士学位（CUBD）计划解决了支持，培训和整合研究人员和研究经验的多样化群体的需要CUBD计划将专注于发展具有领先先进材料研究专业知识的科学领导者的多样化群体。这一努力将推动无机和有机材料的根本进步，为一系列应用中先进材料和系统的开发提供信息和定义未来的研究方向。该主题的选择和完善是基于（1）南卡罗来纳州（SC）的战略教育和经济优先事项;（2）克莱姆森许多部门的广泛学科专业知识;（3）在SC中基于材料的制造业的重要存在;（4）该项目与大型，全州范围内，NSF资助的EPSCoR Track 1 RII奖项的一致性，该奖项名为SC中的材料组装和设计卓越（MADE）;以及（4）国家战略优先事项（即，Materials Genome Initiative [MGI]）。参与CUBD计划的博士学者将进行先进材料的研究，这与国家，州和机构的研究重点保持一致。 单个项目将整合实验/理论、模拟和数据科学方法，以加速先进材料的开发和部署。 CUBD计划的创新在于研究生社会化的文化支持教学模式的解释和交付。该项目将探索利用现有大学资源来增强代表性不足的少数族裔研究生的经验的潜力。这将扩大我们对大学如何识别和定位其资源的认识，以支持一种可持续的模式，这种模式能够适当地满足代表性不足的少数STEM研究生的需求。此外，该项目将提供如何代表性不足的少数民族研究生STEM学生可以社会化，成为在学术界，私营企业，非政府组织和政府机构蓬勃发展的研究人员的理解。这种方法将特别有助于我们了解如何利用与种族和民族认同相关的文化价值观来积极影响这一过程，以培养致力于研究人员角色的毕业生。个人和集体，CUBD学者将推进对加工，表征，该项目由路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟和刺激竞争研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。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评估被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
