SUNY LSAMP 2009 Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Cohort at Stony Brook

纽约州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（SUNY LSAMP）已准备好立即在该联盟的牵头机构石溪大学（Stony Brook University）建立第四届博士学位桥梁（BD）学生。这个新的队列将建立在我们之前的三个努力的基础上，这些努力不仅大大增加了uep STEM研究生的入学人数和硕士和博士学位，而且还导致了STEM教育文化和实践的重要变化，不仅有助于uep学生，而且有助于所有STEM研究生。项目目标和目标纽约州立大学石溪分校LSAMP 2009博士桥项目的目标和目标是：通过以下方式招收12名LSAMP桥博士学生：？使用我们开发的针对州和国家LSAMP池的招聘途径，从各种LSAMP机构和STEM专业招聘学生。有一个与STEM部门和SUNY AGEP合作的选拔过程，选择有才华的LSAMP学生，他们将在项目支持方面取得成功。设计和实施一个项目，帮助学生通过：？提供一套全面的服务，监测学生的进步，建立一个强大的商业智能社区，培养商业智能学生的学术和专业技能，并尽可能地利用UREP STEM研究生作为导师和导师？与其他NSF、州和联邦项目合作，通过将BD学生整合到现有的活动和项目网络中，最大限度地利用项目资源？通过外部评估来评估项目服务的成功，并根据评估结果开发新的或修改的活动或干预措施。通过以下方式确保BD学生进入并成功完成博士学习，然后进入学术界和高科技工作场所：帮助学生顺利进入博士课程？为BD学生申请NSF和其他研究生奖学金做准备？与STEM部门、研究生院和特纳奖学金项目合作，制定计划，为攻读博士学位的学生提供正式的途径，包括在两年的BD NSF支持结束后为BD学生提供经济支持？与STEM部门合作，在需要的地方提供学术支持，帮助学生完成博士学习？在学生离开BD项目后，通过他们的教育生涯和专业工作经验，维持一个有效的系统来跟踪学生。通过以下方式，促进毕业生STEM政策和实践的系统性变革，以提高学生在博士道路上的成功和UREP STEM研究生教育的有效性：？利用多种来源的资源，利用BD、AGEP和UREP STEM研究生群体，研究与UREP STEM研究生教育相关的广泛问题。知识价值该项目将增加纽约州立大学LSAMP目前在研究生教育领域建立STEM教育研究能力的努力。从“通往博士学位之桥”项目的研究中吸取的经验教训将被纳入更广泛的系统性变革问题的背景下，并传播给广泛的全国受众。更广泛的影响利用从该项目中吸取的经验教训，我们希望继续制定和完善战略，以增加UREP STEM研究生的招聘和保留。这将有助于增加UREP STEM学生成功完成STEM学科博士学位的人数，并改变STEM部门的文化和实践。

SUNY LSAMP 2009 Bridge to the Doctorate Cohort at Stony Brook: Project SummaryThe State University of New York Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SUNY LSAMP) is ready to immediately put into place its fourth cohort of Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) students at Stony Brook University, the lead institution of the Alliance. This new cohort will build on our three previous efforts that have not only significantly added to the UREP STEM graduate enrollment and masters and doctoral degrees but have also led to important changes in the culture and practice of STEM education in ways that not only help UREP students but all graduate STEM students.Project Goals and ObjectivesThe goals and objectives of the SUNY LSAMP 2009 Bridge to the Doctorate Program at Stony Brook are:To recruit 12 LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate students by:?] Using recruitment pathways that we have developed that target the state and national LSAMP pool and recruit students from a variety of LSAMP institutions and STEM majors.?] Having a selection process that works with STEM departments and SUNY AGEP to choose talented LSAMP students who will succeed with program supportTo design and implement a program that helps students successfully complete two years of STEM graduate study by:?] Providing a comprehensive set of services that monitor student progress, builds a strong BD community, builds BD students academic and professional skills and use UREP STEM graduate students as mentors and instructors wherever possible?] Collaborating with other NSF and state and federal programs to make the best use of program resources by integrating BD students into the existing network of activities and programs?] Assessing the success of program services through external evaluation and developing new or modified activities or interventions based on the results of this evaluationTo make sure that BD students enter and successfully complete doctoral study and then move into academia and the high technology workplace by:?] Helping students to successfully gain admission into doctoral programs?] Preparing BD students to apply for NSF and other graduate fellowships?] Working with STEM departments, the Graduate School and the Turner Fellowship program to develop plans to provide a formal pathway to PhD programs that include financial support for BD students after the two years of BD NSF support ends?] Working with STEM departments to provide academic support where needed to help students through doctoral study?] Maintaining an effective system for tracking students after they leave the BD program through their educational career and professional work experienceTo promote systemic change in graduate STEM policy and practices in ways that will increase the success of individual students on the doctoral pathway and the effectiveness of UREP STEM graduate education by:?] Using resources from multiple sources to examine broad issues related to UREP STEM graduate education using the BD, AGEP and UREP STEM graduate populationINTELLECTUAL MERIT The project will add to current efforts by SUNY LSAMP to build research capacity in STEM education in the area of graduate education. The lessons learned from the study of the Bridge to the Doctorate Program will be put into the context of broader issues of systemic change and disseminated to a broad national audienceBROADER IMPACT Using the lessons learned from this project, we expect to continue to develop and refine strategies that will increase the recruitment and retention of UREP STEM graduate students. This will that will help to increase the number of UREP STEM students who successfully complete doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines and make changes in STEM departmental culture and practice.
