The performance site for this LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate Activity is California State University, Los Angeles, one of the 23 California State University campuses included in the California State University-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP). The project will provide a master’s level “bridge” to doctoral-level study for a cohort of 12 graduates of LSAMP undergraduate programs. The Master’s-level experience is designed to remediate the underrepresentation of students from minoritized populations in STEM by supporting their access, persistence, and competencies to advance to e and succeed in Ph.D. programs. In addition to providing substantial financial support to enable students to focus full time on a two-year program of Master’s-level course work and research, the project will provide an integrated set of activities designed to advance BD students toward completion of doctoral-level studies. Activities include: (1) monthly and semester meetings with the BD Project Director to monitor student progress and provide comprehensive advisement; (2) a workshop series focused on information/tools needed for adjustment to and success in graduate school; (3) writing support; (4) weekly professional seminars; (5) community and network building activities to further develop their social identities and sense of belonging; (6) “connecting” Fellows to doctoral programs through collaborations with faculty and programs at Ph.D. institutions; (7) assistance with applications to Ph.D. programs, financial aid and fellowship programs; and (8) career coaching and mentoring activities that will further provide the fellows with emotional and social support in their path to a Ph.D.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.” The project will increase the number of Ph.D.-level scientists by identifying and developing the talent of students who would be unlikely to pursue graduate-level study at either the masters or the doctorate level without the project’s support. This includes students with deficits in their baccalaureate credentials and others with competitive credentials for direct entry into Ph.D. programs, but who are otherwise unable or hesitant to do so. For these students, the Masters-level program serves as a necessary "bridge" to doctoral-level study. Since the pool of LSAMP baccalaureate recipients includes a high proportion of individuals from minoritized communities, the project anticipates that most, if not all of the participants will be students from these groups. Therefore, the project will contribute significantly to broadening participation in academe and science research.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.

这个LSAMP桥梁博士活动的表演现场是洛杉矶加州州立大学，23个加州州立大学校园之一，包括在加州州立大学路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（CSU-LSAMP）。该项目将为LSAMP本科课程的12名毕业生提供一个硕士水平的“桥梁”，以博士水平的研究。 硕士水平的经验旨在通过支持他们的访问，持久性和能力来弥补STEM中少数群体学生的代表性不足，以推进到E并在博士学位中取得成功。程序. 除了提供大量的财政支持，使学生能够全职专注于硕士课程工作和研究的两年计划，该项目将提供一套综合活动，旨在推动BD学生完成博士水平的研究。 活动包括：（1）每月和每学期与BD项目总监举行会议，以监测学生的进展并提供全面的培训;（2）一系列工作坊，重点是适应和成功进入研究生院所需的信息/工具;（3）写作支持;（4）每周专业研讨会;（5）社区和网络建设活动，以进一步发展他们的社会认同感和归属感;（6）通过与博士学位教师和项目的合作，将研究员与博士学位项目“联系”起来。（7）协助申请博士学位。该项目将有助于推进美国国家科学基金会的使命“促进科学的进步：“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：“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-通过发现和发展学生的才能，培养科学家，如果没有该项目的支持，这些学生不太可能在硕士或博士一级进行研究生水平的学习。这包括那些在学士学位证书上有缺陷的学生，以及那些有竞争力的证书可以直接进入博士学位的学生。程序，但谁是否则无法或犹豫这样做。对于这些学生来说，硕士学位课程是博士学位学习的必要“桥梁”。 由于LSAMP学士学位获得者中有很大比例来自少数群体，该项目预计，大多数（如果不是全部）参与者将是来自这些群体的学生。 该奖项反映了NSF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。
