2008 NCLSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate Fellowship Program at North Carolina State University

北卡罗莱纳州路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（NCLSAMP）通往北卡罗莱纳州立大学博士学位（BD）项目的桥梁是美国国家科学基金会与联盟研究和教育机构之间的一项合作努力，旨在促进来自代表性不足的少数族裔的12名科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学士学位后学生的跨学科交流。将研究与教育相结合，学生将在两年的时间内从事尖端的研究经验。该计划为获得STEM博士学位的两年学习提供经济和教育费用支持。项目活动为学生提供毕业机会，并与北卡罗莱纳州OPT-ED研究生教育联盟的教授和其他研究生协会建立联系，以及通过STEM博士学位支持研究生教育的承诺。在2008-2010学年，共有12名来自STEM领域未被充分代表的少数族裔的学生将参加北卡罗莱纳州立大学的这个项目。这种支持的结果将扩大非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民和太平洋岛民在STEM管道、美国劳动力和海外的参与。该项目的严格评估结果将增加STEM领域少数族裔学生的招聘、保留和毕业率方面的文献。

The North Carolina Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (NCLSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Program at North Carolina State University is a collaborative effort between the National Science Foundation and the alliance research and educational institutions to facilitate increased cross-disciplinary exchange for 12 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)post-baccalaurate students from underrepresented minority populations. Integrating research and education, students will engage in cutting edge research experiences over a two-year period. The program provides financial and cost of education support for two years of study leading to the STEM doctoral degree.Program activities provide student graduate opportunities and linkages to the North Carolina OPT-ED Alliance for Graduate Education in the Professoriate and other graduate associations as well as the commitment of support for graduate education through the STEM doctoral degree.A total of 12 students from underrepresented minority populations in STEM fields will participate in the program at North Carolina State University during the 2008-2010 academic years. Results from this support will broaden the participation of African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Pacific-Islanders in the STEM pipeline, U. S. workforce and abroad. Results from rigorous evaluation of the project will add to the body of literature in the recruitment, retention and graduation rates of underrepresented minority students in STEM fields.
