2011 FGLSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate - BD Site: University of South Florida

南佛罗里达大学将作为2011-2013年桥梁博士学位（BD）项目网站佛罗里达州-格鲁吉亚路易斯斯托克斯联盟少数民族参与（FGLSAMP）计划。该计划的目标是，联盟BD研究员直接进入博士课程将在五年内完成学位要求根据国家科学基金会的目标和FGLSAMP提供体验式曝光机会的承诺，新的FGLSAMP USF BD计划扩展了以前培训补助金奖励的成功成果和最佳实践（AGEP，CREST BD，IGERT，GK-12和Sloan）的所有STEM领域，包括数学，地球系统科学，生物&物理科学和工程/计算机科学。2011-2013年的队列涉及国际研究经验，并利用NSF-能源部合作活动的研究生竞技场。 该提案改进了以前的学生选择和整个USF研究生课程中使用的已经成功的指导和培训模式。该计划的一个独特之处在于，它利用了来自USF，斯隆基金会和麦克奈特基金会的广泛机构承诺，并承诺来自坦帕湾社区的公司和世界各地的合作者致力于确保两者的成功，自2003年以来，14个STEM BD博士学位已通过佛罗里达州-格鲁吉亚路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟授予。

University of South Florida will serve as the 2011-2013 Bridge to the Doctorate (BD)Project site for the Florida-Georgia Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation(FGLSAMP) Program. The goal of the program is that the alliance BD fellows admitted directly into doctoral programs will complete degree requirements in five years (post bachelors).In accordance with the goal of the National Science Foundationand FGLSAMP's commitment to providing experiential exposure opportunities, the newFGLSAMP USF BD Program extends the successful outcomes and best practices ofprevious training grant awards (AGEP, CREST BD, IGERT, GK-12 and Sloan) to all STEMfields, including mathematics, earth system sciences, biological & physical sciences andengineering/computer Science. The 2011-2013 cohort involves international research experiences and leverages the NSF-DoE Cooperative Activity to the graduate arena. The proposal improves an already successful mentoring and training model used in the previous cohorts to this selection of students and the entire USF graduate program.A unique feature of this program is that it leverages extensive institutional commitmentfrom across USF, Sloan Foundation and McKnight Foundation with commitment fromcompanies in the Tampa bay community and collaborators all over the world are committed to ensuring success of both, the trainees and the program.Since 2003, 14 STEM BD doctoral degrees have been conferred through the Florida-Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation.
