2023 LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate: Mississippi LSAMP - Host Site: Jackson State University

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努力显著增加学生入学人数并成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的高质量学位课程，以使STEM劳动力多样化。特别强调通过创新的，基于证据的招聘和保留策略，以及支持在STEM学科中历史上代表性不足的种族和族裔群体的相关教育经验来改造本科STEM教育：黑人和非裔美国人，西班牙裔和拉丁美洲人，美洲印第安人，阿拉斯加原住民，夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民。这些战略促进了准备充分的学生的生产，高素质和积极性，追求研究生教育或职业生涯在干。培养STEM人才的必要性已经得到充分证实。美国要保持全球竞争力，就必须挖掘所有公民的才能，并在支撑知识经济的STEM领域提供卓越的教育准备。由杰克逊州立大学（JSU）领导的路易斯·斯托克斯密西西比少数民族参与联盟（LSMAMP）将支持其博士学位（BD）项目的第16组。 一个全面的计划存在，发展一个队列的12个BD研究员，不仅完成他们的M.S.学位的要求，而且还STEM博士学位。为期两年的计划将包括教学学习与从事教师主导的研究活动，在国家的最先进的设施和设备，在CORE多用户研究实验室的机构，并与其他联邦，私人和非营利组织合作，在动手实验室培训。 丰富活动包括STEM演讲系列，社区服务，专业发展研讨会。形成性和总结性的评估结果将被广泛传播，以支持该模式复制到其他研究生课程，寻求多样化的STEM研究生教育计划和国家的STEM劳动力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为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来支持。

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in their efforts to significantly increase the numbers of students matriculating into and successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines in order to diversify the STEM workforce. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming undergraduate STEM education through innovative, evidence-based recruitment and retention strategies, and relevant educational experiences in support of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: Blacks and African Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. These strategies facilitate the production of well-prepared students, highly qualified and motivated to pursue graduate education or careers in STEM. The need for cultivating STEM talent has been well established. For the United States to remain globally competitive, it is vital that it taps into the talent of all its citizens and provides exceptional educational preparedness in STEM areas that underpin the knowledge-based economy. The Louis Stokes Mississippi Alliance for Minority Participation (LSMAMP), led by Jackson State University (JSU), will support Cohort 16 of its Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) program. A comprehensive program exists that develops a cohort of twelve BD Fellows to not only complete their M.S. degree requirements, but also the STEM doctoral degree. The two-year program will consist of didactic learning with engaged faculty-led research activities in hands-on laboratory training at state-of-the-art facilities and equipment housed in CORE multi-user research laboratories the institution and in collaboration with other federal, private and non-profit organizations. Enrichment activities include STEM speaker series, community service, professional development workshops. Formative and summative evaluation results will be disseminated broadly to support replication of the model to other graduate programs seeking to diversify STEM graduate education programs and the nation's STEM workforce.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.
