CAMP Bridge to the Doctorate Program (Cohort 7) - University of California-Riverside

在加州大学欧文分校的领导下，加州系统路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（CAMP）将在2011-2013学年赞助加州大学河滨分校（UC-R）的第七个（第七个）博士学位桥梁项目。 UC-R是一个西班牙裔服务机构。 该计划将由12名来自历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口的学生组成，他们在该机构攻读科学，技术，工程和技术（STEM）领域的研究生课程。该计划将支持LSAMP学生独家两年，并提供新铸造的B.S.学位获得者有机会在STEM部门和/或外部奖学金资助的支持下在研究生教育中入学。 与研究生办公室以及学术院长的合作关系确保了BD活动的及时和适当的实施。该活动将提供丰富的研究生发展机会，除了在特定STEM学科的严格培训外，还将包括密集的教师指导，广泛的专业发展，以及促进科学和工程社区领导力的活动。该提案利用了整个加州路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟和UCR的几个研究生和本科生研究项目的独特优势，专门为BD学者做好准备，使他们成为成功的科学家和榜样，他们可以使研究机构的教师队伍多样化。学生获得严格的学术和研究培训经验，支持完成博士学位。以及未来对我国科学和工程专业知识的贡献。 实施了征聘和留住研究生的最佳做法，并借鉴了以往东道地点的经验教训。在UC-R的博士学位活动的桥梁增加了相当大的力量，该机构和联盟已经证实了坚定的承诺，以增加在干学科的多样性。该计划的调查结果，经验教训和影响将通过多媒体网络，出版物，全国会议上的演讲以及与NSF附属倡议的数据共享进行传播，其明确目的是分享经验作为最佳实践，以改善服务不足的少数民族在所有STEM领域的参与。

The University of California System Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CAMP) under the leadership of the University of California-Irvine, will sponsor its seventh (7th) Bridge to the Doctorate program at the University of California-Riverside (UC-R) for the 2011-2013 academic year. UC-R is a Hispanic-serving institution. The program will consist of a cohort of 12 students from historically underrepresented minority populations pursuing graduate studies in science, technology, engineering and technology (STEM) fields at the institution. The program will support LSAMP students exclusively for two years and offer newly-minted B.S. degree recipients an opportunity to matriculate in graduate education with support from STEM departments and/or external fellowship funding for the duration of the doctoral program. Collaborative ties with the Office of Graduate Studies as well as the academic deans ensures timely and appropriate implementation of the BD activity.The activity will provide a rich set of graduate student development opportunities that in addition to rigorous training in specific STEM disciplines will also include intensive faculty mentoring, extensive professional development, and activities that promote leadership in the scientific and engineering communities. This proposal leverages the distinctive strengths of several graduate and undergraduate research programs throughout the California Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation overall and UCR specifically to prepare BD scholars to be successful scientists and role models who can diversify the faculty ranks in research institutions. Students receive rigorous academic and research training experiences that support completion of the Ph.D. as well as future contributions to our nation's scientific and engineering expertise. Best practices for recruitment and retention of graduate researchers are implemented and builds upon lessons learned from previous host sites. The Bridge to the Doctorate activity at UC-R adds considerable strength to the institution and alliance which already exemplifies robust commitment to increasing diversity in STEM disciplines. The findings, lessons learned, and impact of the program will be disseminated through multi-media networks, publications, presentations at national meetings, and data sharing with NSF-affiliated initiatives with the express purpose of sharing experiences as best practices to improve the participation of underserved minorities in all STEM fields.
