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.

这一LSAMP通往博士学位的桥梁活动的表演地点是洛杉矶加州州立大学，这是加州州立大学-路易·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟(CSU-LSAMP)包括的23个加州州立大学校区之一。该项目将为LSAMP本科生项目的12名毕业生提供一座进入博士水平学习的硕士“桥梁”。硕士级别的体验旨在通过支持学生的入学机会、毅力和能力来纠正STEM中来自少数族裔群体的学生代表性不足的问题，以提升到e和在博士项目中的成功。除了提供大量的财政支持，使学生能够全职专注于为期两年的硕士水平的课程工作和研究，该项目还将提供一套综合的活动，旨在推动BD学生完成博士水平的学习。活动包括：(1)每月和学期与BD项目主任举行会议，以监测学生的进步并提供全面的建议；(2)一系列研讨会，重点是适应研究生院和在研究生院取得成功所需的信息/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)通过与教师和博士机构的项目合作，将研究员与博士项目“联系”起来；(7)帮助申请博士项目、经济援助和奖学金项目；以及(8)职业指导和辅导活动，将进一步为研究员在获得博士学位的道路上提供情感和社会支持。该项目将有助于推进美国国家科学基金会的使命，“促进科学进步：促进国家健康、繁荣和福利，或确保国防安全”及其2018-2022年战略计划：“促进更有能力和多样化的研究队伍的增长，提高国家的科学和创新技能。”该项目将通过确定和培养学生的才华来增加博士水平的科学家的数量，如果没有该项目的支持，这些学生不太可能在硕士或博士水平上继续学习。这包括学士学位证书不足的学生，以及其他拥有直接进入博士项目的竞争性证书的学生，但他们在其他方面无法或犹豫不决。对于这些学生来说，硕士水平的课程是通向博士水平学习的必要“桥梁”。由于LSAMP文凭获得者中包括来自小规模社区的高比例个人，该项目预计大多数参与者(如果不是全部的话)将是这些群体的学生。因此，该项目将大大有助于扩大对学术和科学研究的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
