2010 CSU-LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate (Cohort 8)- BD Site: California State University, Los Angeles

加州州立大学洛杉矶分校是加州州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（CSU-LSAMP）的合作机构，将作为2010-2012年博士衔接项目（BD）的场地。该项目为科学、技术、工程和技术（STEM）学科的12名代表性不足的少数民族学生提供支持。该项目有助于推进NSF？2006-2011财政年度战略计划目标，其目的是：？培养一支具有广泛包容性的世界级科学和工程人才队伍，提高全体公民的科学素养。新一批BD研究员的学生将加入80名学生的行列（来自于科罗拉多州立大学lsamp先前七个BD项目的90名学生），他们已经完成了硕士学位？5个学位和/或继续攻读STEM研究生课程。具体而言，项目支持/活动将包括：(1)硕士课程头两年的大量财政支持？s级研究;(2)与研究生咨询委员会协商，为每个学生选择严格的课程；(3)在导师的密切指导下有两年的研究经历；(4)专业发展活动（如工作坊、研讨会、会议参与）；(5)每月召开会议，监督学生的学习进度；(6)连接?通过与博士院校的教师和项目合作，获得博士项目的奖学金；(7)协助申请博士学位项目、助学金和奖学金项目；(8)利用与相关校园和全系统多样性项目的联系，利用与AGEP机构和其他研究生教育项目和组织的联系，鼓励项目对录取科罗拉多州立大学lsamp BD研究员进入博士项目的兴趣。

California State University-Los Angeles, partner institution for the California State University Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP)will serve as the site for the 2010-2012 Bridge to the Doctorte (BD) program. The program provides support for a cohort of 12 underrepresented minority students in science, technology, engineering and technology (STEM) disciplines. This project contributes to advancing the NSF?s FY 2006-2011 Strategic Plan goal, which aims to: ?cultivate a world-class, broadly inclusive science and engineering workforce, and expand the scientific literacy of all citizens.? Students in the new cohort of BD Fellows will join the ranks of 80 students (out of the 90 admitted to seven prior CSU-LSAMP BD projects) who have completed Master?s degrees and/or are continuing to pursue STEM graduate studies.Specifically, project support/activities will include: (1) substantial financial support for the initial two years of Master?s-level study; (2) rigorous course-work selected for each student in consultation with a Graduate Advisory Committee; (3) a two-year research experience under the close guidance of a faculty mentor; (4) professional development activities (e.g., workshops, seminars, conference participation); (5) monthly meetings to monitor student progress; (6) ?connecting? Fellows to doctoral programs through collaborations with faculty and programs at Ph.D. institutions; (7) assistance with applications to Ph.D. programs, financial aid and fellowship programs; and (8) leveraging linkages with related campus and system-wide diversity projects and utilizing linkages with AGEP institutions and other graduate education programs and organizations to encourage program interest in admission of CSU-LSAMP BD Fellows into Ph.D. programs.
