With support from the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) this Bridge to Doctorate (BD) Activity will offer 12 talented students from multiple LSAMP alliances the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering (or in a STEM-related field) at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), a historically black college and university (HBCU). The TAMUS LSAMP BD program aims to increase the pool of PhDs from groups historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and create a cohesive community of graduate students across STEM disciplines within PVAMU. Through collaborations between the Marvin D. and June Samuel Brailsford College of Arts and Sciences (BCAS) and the Roy G. Perry College of Engineering (RGPCOE) at PVAMU, twelve first-time graduate students in three RGPCOE departments and one BCAS department will be nurtured for two years as a cohort community. The Fellows will benefit from a program of academic and personal development activities and social support, to sustain their commitment and success in their degree programs and advancement toward doctoral programs by August 2025. The TAMUS LSAMP BD program will increase the pool of STEM PhDs from LSAMP populations. Currently, the PVAMU PhD programs lack diversity. Eventually, this project may help diversify the larger STEM graduate student populations at PVAMU and beyond. . The goal of the TAMUS LSAMP BD is to foster academic success by developing Fellows’ readiness, motivation, and fortitude to complete STEM doctoral degrees and by preparing them for potential academic, research, industry, or government STEM careers upon completion of doctoral programs. To accomplish this goal, the TAMUS LSAMP BD program’s objectives include (1) building relationships with other LSAMP undergraduate STEM programs across the U.S. for recruitment, (2) translating best practices and lessons learned from previous TAMUS LSAMP BTD cohorts to foster the success of BD PVAMU, (3) preparing Fellows to gain admission into and meet the challenges of completing doctoral programs of study at PVAMU and other universities, (4) developing partnerships with other higher education institutions to place PVAMU BD Fellows in STEM doctoral programs with multi-year funding, (5) equipping Fellows with leadership and transferable skills for future STEM careers, and (6) disseminating and advancing the discovery of successful strategies to increase URM graduate student retention and progression to doctoral degrees. The project will implement a rigorous training program of activities informed by evidence-based theory and best practices in higher education. The result will be an infrastructure for increased retention and graduation rates of students from groups underrepresented in STEM, contributions to best-practice strategies for graduate student success at HBCUs, and the development of opportunities that lead to educational and career enhancements of graduate students who are underrepresented in STEM. As the recruitment pool of LSAMP baccalaureate recipients includes a high proportion of individuals from LSAMP 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，这座通往博士学位的桥梁（BD）活动将为来自多个LSAMP联盟的12名才华横溢的学生提供机会购买电气工程博士学位（或在Prairie与STEM相关的领域）的博士学位，Prairie View A＆M Univie A＆M University（PVAMU）（PVAMU）（PVAMU）（PVAMU），一所历史悠久的黑人大学和大学（HBCU）（HBCU）。 Tamus LSAMP BD计划的目的是增加科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的历史不足的群体的PHD库，并在PVAMU内的STEM学科中创建一个凝聚力的研究生社区。通过Marvin D.和June Samuel Brailsford艺术与科学学院（BCAS）和PVAMU的Roy G. Perry工程学院（RGPCOE）之间的合作，在三个RGPCOE部门的十二名首次研究生和一个BCAS部门将被培养两年。这些研究员将受益于学术和个人发展活动和社会支持计划，以在2025年8月之前维持其学位课程的承诺和成功，并在博士计划中进步。Tamuslsamp BD计划将增加LSAMP人群的STEM PHD库。目前，PVAMU博士计划缺乏多样性。最终，该项目可能有助于多样化PVAMU及其他地区的STEM研究生群体。 。 Tamus LSAMP BD的目标是通过发展研究员的准备，动机和毅力来促进学术成就，以完成STEM博士学位，并在完成博士课程后为潜在的学术，研究，行业或政府STEM职业做好准备。 To accomplish this goal, the TAMUS LSAMP BD program’s objectives include (1) building relationships with other LSAMP undergraduate STEM programs across the U.S. for recruitment, (2) translating best practices and lessons learned from previous TAMUS LSAMP BTD cohorts to foster the success of BD PVAMU, (3) preparing Fellows to gain admission into and meet the challenges of completing doctoral programs of study at PVAMU and other universities, （4）与其他高等教育机构建立合作伙伴关系，将PVAMU BD研究员放入具有多年资金的STEM博士课程中，（5）为研究员提供领导能力和可转移技能，以实现未来的STEM职业，以及（6）传播和推进成功的策略，以增加URM研究生的学生退休，并提高博士学位。该项目将实施一项严格的培训计划，以循证理论和高等教育的最佳实践为导致的活动。结果将是一个基础设施，用于提高来自STEM的人数不足的群体的学生的保留率和毕业率，对HBCUS研究生成功的最佳实践策略的贡献以及导致STEM中代表性不足的研究生的教育和职业增强的机会的发展。由于LSAMP学士学位的招聘库包括来自LSAMP人群的个人很大比例，因此该项目预计，LSAMP桥梁向博士生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，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被视为通过评估来获得珍贵的支持。
