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.

在路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（LSAMP）的支持下，这项通往博士学位之桥（BD）活动将为来自多个LSAMP联盟的12名有才华的学生提供在Prairie View a&m大学（PVAMU）攻读电气工程（或stem相关领域）博士学位的机会，Prairie View a&m大学是一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）。TAMUS LSAMP BD项目旨在增加在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科中历史代表性不足的群体的博士人数，并在PVAMU内创建一个跨STEM学科的研究生凝聚力社区。通过Marvin D. and June Samuel Brailsford文理学院（BCAS）和PVAMU的Roy G. Perry工程学院（RGPCOE）的合作，将在三个RGPCOE部门和一个BCAS部门培养12名首次研究生，作为一个队列社区，为期两年。研究员将受益于学术和个人发展活动以及社会支持计划，以维持他们的承诺，并在2025年8月之前取得学位课程和博士课程的成功。TAMUS LSAMP BD项目将增加LSAMP人口中STEM博士的数量。目前，PVAMU博士课程缺乏多样性。最终，该项目可能有助于使PVAMU和其他地方的STEM研究生群体多样化。TAMUS LSAMP BD的目标是通过培养研究员完成STEM博士学位的准备，动机和毅力，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，从而促进学术成功。为了实现这一目标，TAMUS LSAMP BD项目的目标包括(1)与美国其他LSAMP本科STEM项目建立招聘关系，(2)翻译TAMUS LSAMP BTD团队的最佳实践和经验教训，以促进BD PVAMU的成功，(3)准备研究员进入PVAMU和其他大学，并迎接完成博士课程的挑战。(4)与其他高等教育机构建立合作伙伴关系，为PVAMU BD研究员提供多年资助，让他们参加STEM博士项目；(5)为研究员提供领导能力和未来STEM职业的可转移技能；(6)传播和推进成功策略的发现，以提高URM研究生的保留率和升读博士学位。该项目将实施一项严格的培训计划，以高等教育中的循证理论和最佳实践为指导。其结果将是建立一个基础设施，提高STEM中代表性不足群体学生的保留率和毕业率，为HBCUs研究生成功的最佳实践战略做出贡献，并为STEM中代表性不足的研究生提供教育和职业提升的机会。由于LSAMP学士学位获得者的招聘池中有很大一部分来自LSAMP人口，该项目预计LSAMP通往博士研究员的桥梁将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。
