2008 New Mexico AMP Bridge to the Doctorate VI

新墨西哥州州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（NM-LSAMP）桥梁博士学位（BD）计划是国家科学基金会和新墨西哥州高等教育机构之间的合作努力，以提高代表性不足的少数民族的质量和数量，以完成科学，技术，工程和数学领域（STEM）领域的博士学位。2008-2010年的计划，在新墨西哥州的大学第一，准备学生迎接完成硕士和博士课程的学习，最好是在高等教育的学术生涯的挑战。 此外，该计划还培养了在国内和国际STEM劳动力中取得成功所需的领导技能。整合研究和教育，BD研究员将在两年多的时间里培养为一个共同的社区，该社区将受益于学术和个人发展活动计划以及社会支持，以维持他们对终端博士学位的承诺和成功。STEM学位。计划活动包括与新墨西哥州大学研究与培训综合研究生教育（IGERT）以及其他NSF资助的研究和教育项目的联系，包括为本科生提供指导机会的计划。 在2009-2010学年，共有12名来自STEM领域代表性不足的少数民族的学生将参加新墨西哥州大学的该项目。 这一支持的结果将扩大西班牙裔和美洲原住民在STEM管道中的参与。S.劳动力和国外。 对该项目进行严格评估的结果将增加成功招募和保留STEM领域代表性不足的少数民族学生的文献。

New Mexico State University Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (NM-LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program is a collaborative effort between the National Science Foundation and New Mexico higher education institutions to increase the quality and quantity of underrepresented minorities matriculating to completion of the doctoral degree in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields (STEM) fields. The 2008-2010 program, the first at the University of New Mexico, prepares students to meet the challenges of completing master's and doctoral programs of study preferably for academic careers in higher education. In addition, the program develops leadership skills necessary for success in the STEM workforce nationally and internationally. Integrating research and education, the BD fellows will be nurtured over two years as a cohorted community that will benefit from a program of academic and personal development activities as well as social support to sustain their commitment and success to the terminal Ph.D. STEM degree. Program activities include linkages to the University of New Mexico Integrated Graduate Education in Research and Training (IGERT) as well as other NSF-funded research and education projects, including programs that provide mentoring opportunities for undergraduate students. A total of 12 students from underrepresented minority populations in STEM fields will participate in the program at the University of New Mexico during the 2009-2010 academic years. Results from this support will broaden the participation of Hispanics and Native Americans in the STEM pipeline, U. S. workforce and abroad. Results from rigorous evaluation of the project will add to the body of literature in successful recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority students in STEM fields.
