With support from the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) this Bridge to Doctorate Activity will offer 12 talented students from multiple LSAMP alliances the opportunity to pursue doctoral degrees in STEM fields at Montana State University (MSU). Montana is the ancestral and modern-day home of many different Indigenous Peoples, yet American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students comprise only 2% of STEM doctoral students at MSU. Broadly across the nation, only 105 AI/AN students completed a research doctorate across all fields in 2020/21. As a new Bridge to Doctorate site within the All Nations Alliance for Minority Participation, MSU will work towards full participation of underrepresented minorities in STEM as well as support Indigenous self-determination and well-being by providing significant financial support to AI/AN doctoral students and implementing: 1) evidence-based recruitment and retention practices; 2) mentorship and professional development opportunities adapted to Indigenous cultures, values, and experiences; and 3) an innovative support system that enables students to readily rejoin their degree programs if temporarily called away to meet pressing family and community obligations. In addition to empirically evaluating the efficacy of MSU’s novel Return to Learn model, this project will support participatory and co-produced STEM graduate research projects that prepare AI/AN students for 21st-century STEM careers while ensuring reciprocal benefits with Tribal community partners. Research projects will integrate Indigenous research methodologies and value systems (Relationship, Responsibility, Reciprocity, and Redistribution) with scientific and technological questions pertaining to national priorities ranging from large-scale manufacturing of 2-D materials for quantum computing, to advanced energy storage and conversion technologies, to biofilm engineering, and infectious vector-borne diseases in collaboration with NIH’s Rocky Mountain Lab. Planned professional development workshops will then include Navigating Academia Professionally and Personally, Taking Charge of Your Professional Trajectory, Indigenous Well-being, Creating and Leveraging Colleague Network Groups, and Lessons Learned from AI/AN Alumni. This project will serve as a national model for AI/AN students to carve their own flexible, culturally-responsive STEM doctoral education and career paths that integrate cutting-edge research and scholarship with Indigenous leadership and identity. Results will be disseminated to our university partners in the Sloan Indigenous Graduate Programs and The University Centers for Exemplary Mentoring. We will also present findings at conferences that specialize in AI/AN education. As the recruitment pool of LSAMP baccalaureate recipients includes a high proportion of individuals from underrepresented minority populations, the project anticipates that LSAMP Bridge to Doctorate Fellows 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.

在路易斯·斯托克斯联盟（Louis Stokes）联盟（LSAMP）的支持下，这座通往博士学位活动的桥梁将为来自多个LSAMP联盟的12名才华横溢的学生提供机会在蒙大拿州立大学（MSU）的STEM领域购买博士学位的机会。蒙大拿州是许多不同土著人民的祖先和现代家园，但美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加本地人（AI/AN）学生仅占MSU的STEM博士生的2％。在全国范围内，只有105个AI/A学生在2020/21的所有领域完成了研究博士学位。作为全国少数群体参与的全国博士地点的新桥梁，MSU将致力于充分参与代表性不足的少数群体，并通过为AI/A A A/A AN博士提供大量财务支持，并为土著自决和福祉提供支持：1）基于证据的招聘和退休惯例； 2）适应土著文化，价值观和经验的精神和专业发展机会； 3）一个创新的支持系统，即使暂时召集学生履行紧迫的家庭和社区义务，可以使学生很容易重新加入学位课程。除了经验评估MSU新颖的学习模型的有效性外，该项目还将支持参与和共同制作的STEM研究生研究项目，这些项目为21世纪的STEM职业准备AI/A A A A A A Andive，同时确保与部落社区合作伙伴的相互利益。 Research projects will integrate Indigenous research methods and value systems (Relationship, Responsibility, Reciprocity, and Redistribution) with scientific and technical questions pertaining to national priorities ranging from large-scale manufacturing of 2-D materials for quantum Computing, to advanced energy storage and conversion technologies, to biofilm engineering, and infectious vector-borne diseases in collaboration with NIH’s Rocky Mountain Lab.然后，计划中的专业发展研讨会将包括专业和个人的导航学术界，负责您的专业轨迹，本地福祉，创建和利用同事网络组，以及从AI/A AN校友中学到的经验教训。该项目将成为AI/A A学生的国家模型，以雕刻自己的灵活，具有文化响应的STEM博士教育以及职业道路，并将尖端的研究和奖学金与土著领导力和身份相结合。结果将被传播给我们的大学合作伙伴在斯隆土著研究生课程和大学中心指导的中心。我们还将在专门从事AI/A教育的会议上介绍。由于LSAMP学士学位的招聘库包括来自代表性不足的少数民族人口不足的个人，因此该项目预计，LSAMP桥梁向博士学位的研究员将是来自这些群体的学生。因此，该项目将为扩大学术界和科学研究的参与做出重大贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估值得支持的。
