SUNY LSAMP 2010 Bridge to the Doctorate: BD Site University at Buffalo

在纽约州立大学石溪分校的领导下，纽约州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（SUNY LSAMP）将在布法罗大学2010-2012年博士衔接项目中为12名额外的本科后学生提供支持。该项目建立在之前项目努力的基础上，不仅显著增加了来自弱势少数民族（UREP）人口的研究生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大变化，不仅有助于UREP学生，而且有助于所有STEM研究生。该项目增加了SUNY LSAMP目前在研究生教育领域建立STEM教育研究能力的努力。从“通往博士学位的桥梁”项目的研究中吸取的教训将放在更广泛的系统性变革问题的背景下，并向全国广泛的听众传播。利用从该项目中吸取的经验教训，该联盟希望继续制定和完善战略，以增加研究生的招聘和保留，并进一步使研究生教育部门多样化。该战略有可能增加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。

The State University of New York (SUNY) Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SUNY LSAMP), under the leadership of SUNY-Stony Brook, will support 12 additional post-baccalaureate students duirng the 2010-2012 Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) program at the University of Buffalo. This program builds on previous program efforts that have not only significantly added to the graduate enrollment and masters and doctoral degrees to students from underreprested minority (UREP) populations 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.The project adds 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 audience.Using the lessons learned from this project, the alliance expects to continue to develop and refine strategies that will increase the recruitment and retention of graduate students and further diversify graduate education departments. The strategy has the potenital 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.
