LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate

纽约市LSAMP通往博士学位的桥梁目标声明这个通往博士学位的桥梁提案的目标是招募和留住最近的LSAMP STEM毕业生进入研究/学术生涯，从而完成博士学位。纽约联盟将追踪12名这样的人进入博士项目，并最终成为教授。从国家LSAMP毕业生库中最近毕业的LSAMP一级毕业生，以及完成不超过一个相当于研究生学习的全日制学期的LSAMP毕业生，将被邀请申请博士衔接课程。LSAMP高年级本科生将继续被允许参加桥牌活动。Bridge学生将受益于积极的保留和专业丰富计划，包括学术和研究指导，GRE研讨会，与高级博士生，教师和管理人员的圆桌讨论，以及出席和参与当地和国家的专业会议。与纽约市立大学研究生中心和纽约市立大学研究所/中心主任相关的全体教员将担任桥梁学院的教员/研究顾问。该联盟将继续与布鲁克海文国家实验室合作，在学年和夏季学期提供尖端的研究培训。国际研究经验也将被纳入所有入选的BD学者的培训中。预期结果预计纽约市LSAMP桥梁项目将在2003年至2011年期间从第1-7组增加101名博士生。建议活动的更广泛影响研究和教育的一个重要基础设施组成部分是有能力和忠诚的学生的可用性。桥梁项目将继续作为催化剂，提高对研究生的财政支持，以吸引足够数量的美国公民进入STEM研究管道，以维持国家STEM企业。LSAMP将继续利用桥梁项目提供的支持水平，全面提高STEM研究生的薪酬，以便在两年的期限后保持博士学位的增长。成果的传播博士之桥项目的进展和结果将在纽约市LSAMP城市大学会议系列上、通过其虚拟社区（http://nyc-amp.cuny.edu）和通讯进行传播。城市大学系列会议自1998年以来每年举办一次，吸引了超过5,500名参与者，并提供了其他交流机会，为招收本科生到纽约市立大学攻读研究生或其他博士学位提供了机会。BD学者代表了STEM培训生的资源，他们准备参与非正式科学和数学教育。

NYC LSAMP Bridge to the DoctorateStatement of ObjectivesThe objectives of this Bridge to the Doctorate proposal is to recruit and retain recent LSAMP STEM Graduates into a research/academic career that leads to the completion of a Ph.D. degree. The NYC Alliance will track twelve such individuals into doctoral programs and eventually the professoriate.Methods to be EmployedRecent Tier 1 LSAMP graduates from the National LSAMP pool of graduates, and LSAMP graduates who have completed no more than one full-time semester equivalent of graduate study shall constitute the group that will be invited to apply for the Bridge to the Doctorate program. LSAMP senior undergraduates will continue to be allowed to participate in Bridge activities. Bridge students will be beneficiaries of a proactive retention and professional enrichment program that will include academic and research mentoring, GRE workshops, roundtable discussions with advanced doctoral students, faculty and administrators, and attendance and participation at local and national professional conferences. The at-large faculty pool associated with the CUNY Graduate Center, and CUNY Institute/Center Directors will serve as Bridge faculty/research advisors. The Alliance will continue to partner with Brookhaven National Labs to provide cutting-edge research training during the academic year and summer terms. International research experiences will also be integrated into the training of all selected BD scholars.Expected ResultsIt is expected that the NYC LSAMP Bridge program will add 101 students to the Ph.D. pipeline from Cohorts 1-7 (2003 through 2011).Broader Impacts of the Proposed ActivityA critical infrastructure component for research and education is the availability of competent and committed students. The Bridge program will continue to serve as a catalyst for raising financial support for graduate students to a level that would attract US citizens into the STEM research pipeline in numbers sufficient to sustain the national STEM enterprise. LSAMP will continue to use the level of support provided by the Bridge program to leverage an increase in STEM graduate student compensation across the board, in order to sustain an increase in Ph.D. throughput beyond its two-year duration.Dissemination of ResultsProgress and results of the Bridge to the Doctorate program will be disseminated at the NYC LSAMP Urban University Conference Series, and through its Virtual Community (http://nyc-amp.cuny.edu), and Newsletter. The Urban University Conference Series, held annually since 1998, has attracted over 5,500 participants, and among other networking opportunities, provides the opportunity to recruit enrolled undergraduate scholars to CUNY for graduate study, or to other doctoral granting institutions. The BD scholars represent a resource of STEM trainees that are poised to be involved in Informal Science and Math Education.
