Georgia Institute of Technology Bridge to the Doctorate program

路易·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟(LSAMP)计划的总体目标是通过增加授予LSAMP人口的STEM学士学位和研究生学位的数量，帮助大学和学院使国家的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)劳动力多样化。LSAMP群体的定义是来自STEM企业中代表性不足的群体：黑人和非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔和拉丁裔美国人、美国印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民。佐治亚理工学院是由佐治亚大学(UGA)领导的桃州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟(PSLSAMP)的成员，将在2023-2025学年主办该联盟的第二个博士学位桥(BD)队列。该团队将包括12名在该学院攻读STEM研究生学位的LSAMP校友。佐治亚理工学院的BD项目创建了一个以校园为基础的生态系统，在经济、智力和社交方面为学生提供支持，同时帮助他们发展网络和社会资本，以在未来的学术和职业生涯中取得成功。采用多层次(循环)招聘和保留战略，BD学员将参与由工程教育与多样性中心(CEED)和其他STEM部门赞助的各种活动，以成功完成STEM研究生学位。BD项目实施的结果有助于增加STEM研究生教育和STEM研究以及与研究相关的国家职业的劳动力的多样性。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。

The overall goal of the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program is to assist universities and colleges in diversifying the nation's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce by increasing the number of STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded to persons from LSAMP populations. LSAMP populations are defined as persons from groups underrepresented in the STEM enterprise: Blacks and African-Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders.Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), a member of the Peach State Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (PSLSAMP), led by the University of Georgia (UGA), will host the alliance's second Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) cohort for the 2023-2025 academic years. The cohort will consist of 12 LSAMP alumni pursuing STEM graduate degrees at the institution.The BD program at Georgia Tech creates a campus-based ecosystem that supports students financially, intellectually and socially while helping them develop the networks and social capital to succeed in future academic and professional careers. Using a multi-tiered (circular) recruitment and retention strategy, BD trainees will engage in a variety of activities sponsored by the Center for Engineering Education and Diversity (CEED) and other STEM departments to achieve success in STEM graduate degree completion. The outcome of the BD program implementation contributes to increased diversity in STEM graduate education and the workforce in STEM research and research-related careers in the nation.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.
