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博士活动的表演地点是加州州立大学洛杉矶分校，这是加州州立大学-路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（CSU-LSAMP）中包括的23个加州州立大学校园之一。该项目将为LSAMP本科项目的12名毕业生提供硕士水平到博士水平学习的“桥梁”。硕士水平的经验旨在通过支持少数族裔学生的机会、坚持不懈和能力来改善STEM学生的代表性不足，从而在博士课程中取得成功。除了提供大量的资金支持，使学生能够专注于为期两年的硕士课程和研究项目，该项目还将提供一套完整的活动，旨在推动BD学生完成博士水平的研究。活动包括：(1)与BD项目总监进行月度和学期会议，以监测学生的进步并提供全面的建议；(2)一系列讲习班，重点介绍适应研究生院并在研究生院取得成功所需的信息/工具；(3)文字支持；(4)每周专业研讨会；(5)社区和网络建设活动，进一步发展他们的社会认同和归属感；(6)通过与博士院校的教师和项目合作，将研究员与博士项目“联系”起来；(7)协助申请博士学位项目、助学金和奖学金项目；(8)职业指导和指导活动，将进一步为研究员提供情感和社会支持。该项目将有助于推进国家科学基金会的使命“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：“培养一支更有能力和更多样化的研究队伍，提高国家的科学和创新技能。”该项目将通过发现和培养学生的才能来增加博士级科学家的数量，如果没有项目的支持，这些学生不太可能在硕士或博士阶段进行研究生阶段的学习。这包括在学士学位证书上有缺陷的学生和其他有竞争力的证书直接进入博士课程的学生，但他们不能或犹豫这样做。对于这些学生来说，硕士课程是通往博士水平学习的必要“桥梁”。由于LSAMP的学士学位获得者中有很大一部分来自少数族裔社区，该项目预计大多数（如果不是全部的话）参与者将是来自这些群体的学生。因此，该项目将大大有助于扩大学术和科学研究的参与。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。
