LSAMP BD: CU Boulder CO-WY AMP

科罗拉多-怀俄明州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP CO-WY AMP）博士学位（BD）活动将为来自多个LSAMP联盟的12名才华横溢的学生提供在科罗拉多博尔德大学攻读STEM领域博士学位的机会。CU Boulder BD项目的四个关键目标是1）增加成功完成STEM博士课程的认证LSAMP URM学生的数量; 2）保留并毕业于CU Boulder的URM STEM博士生; 3）提供有针对性的学术和研究技能发展机会，专业发展活动，有效的教师同行指导和持续的财政支持;和4）制度化有效的招聘和保留策略，成功地推进URM研究生通过STEM博士学位。为了实现这些目标，该计划的目标是：1）利用BD资金，通过调整BD的努力与其他联邦资助的培训赠款，为URM博士生获得额外的资源和机会; 2）与全国LSAMP计划的计划管理员建立有效的关系;和3）积极参与教师招聘，保留，指导和准备URM博士生的职业生涯。该项目将实施一个全面的计划，包括严格的学术准备，研究培训经验，和专业发展活动的BD研究员。该项目将有助于推进NSF的使命“促进科学进步：“促进国家健康，繁荣和福利，或确保国防”及其2018-2022年战略计划，以：“培养更有能力和多样化的研究队伍，提高国家的科学和创新技能。”该项目将增加博士学位的数量。通过让BD研究员发现并随后进行最先进的研究来提高科学家的水平。研究员将在计算机科学，工程和物理方面与受人尊敬的STEM教师一起工作，获得博士学位，并最终从事研究和教学工作，从而为我们国家的STEM企业做出贡献。由于LSAMP学士学位获得者的招聘库包括来自代表性不足的少数民族人口的高比例个人，该项目预计BD研究员将是来自这些群体的学生。因此，该项目将大大有助于扩大对教育和科学研究的参与。项目的成功将有助于招聘和留住未来的STEM学者，在项目结束后很长一段时间。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。

The Colorado-Wyoming Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP CO-WY AMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) activity will offer 12 talented students from multiple LSAMP alliances the opportunity to pursue doctoral degrees in STEM fields at the University of Colorado Boulder. The four key goals of the CU Boulder BD project are to 1) Increase the number of certified LSAMP URM students successfully completing STEM doctoral programs; 2) Retain and graduate URM STEM PhD students at CU Boulder; 3) Provide targeted academic and research skill development opportunities, professional development activities, effective faculty-peer mentoring, and ongoing financial support; and 4) Institutionalize effective recruitment and retention strategies that successfully advance URM graduate students through a STEM PhD degree. Toward these goals, the program’s objectives are to: 1) Leverage BD funding to secure additional resources and opportunities for URM doctoral students by aligning BD efforts with other federally funded training grants; 2) Establish effective relationships with program administrators of LSAMP programs nationally; and 3) Actively engage faculty in the recruiting, retaining, mentoring, and preparing URM doctoral students for their careers. The project will implement a comprehensive program that includes rigorous academic preparation, research training experiences, and professional development activities for the BD Fellows.The project will contribute to advancing the NSF’s Mission “To promote the progress of science: “to advance the national health, prosperity and welfare, or to secure the national defense” and its 2018-2022 Strategic Plan to: “foster the growth of a more capable and diverse research workforce and advance the scientific and innovation skills of the nation.” This project will increase the number of Ph.D.-level scientists by having BD Fellows discover, and subsequently conduct, state-of-the art research. Fellows will work alongside esteemed STEM faculty in computer science, engineering, and physics, leading to a doctoral degree, and, ultimately, careers in research and teaching, thus contributing to our nation’s STEM enterprise. As the recruitment pool of LSAMP baccalaureate recipients includes a high proportion of individuals from underrepresented minority populations, the project anticipates that BD Fellows will be students from these groups. Therefore, the project will contribute significantly to broadening participation in academe and science research. Project success will aid in the recruitment and retention of future STEM scholars, long after the project has ended.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.
