2011-2013 NEW YORK CITY Bridge to the Doctorate Activity - BD Site: City University of New York Graduate School

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，从而在纽约市立大学或其他博士学位授予机构完成博士学位。纽约市立大学的LSAMP桥梁项目不以任何一个校园为基础，因为研究生中心是授予纽约市立大学博士学位的主要机构。纽约市联盟提出的方法建立在过去19年的努力基础上，旨在增加STEM中代表性不足的少数族裔的数量。该方法的核心是改变本科生参与研究的氛围，并在学生、教师和员工层面建立纽约市立大学广泛的合作伙伴名单。聘用方法：从国家LSAMP毕业生库中选出的LSAMP应届毕业生，以及完成不超过一个全日制研究生学习的LSAMP毕业生，将被邀请申请攻读博士学位衔接课程。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桥梁项目将增加125名学生，从队列1-9（2003年至2013年）。建议活动的更广泛影响研究和教育的关键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。

Statement 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 at CUNY or at other doctoral granting institutions. The LSAMP Bridge program in CUNY is not based at any one campus site as the Graduate Center is the primary institution that grants the Doctoral degree in CUNY.Intellectual MeritThe approach presented by the NYC Alliance builds on the efforts established over the previous nineteen years of activities in increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in STEM. Central to the approach is changing the atmospherics regarding undergraduate inclusion in research and establishing a CUNY wide list of partners at the student, faculty and staff level.Methods to be EmployedRecent 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 125 students to the Ph.D. pipeline from Cohorts 1-9 (2003 through 2013).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.
