FGLSAMP@FIU Bridge to the Doctorate 2013

该佛罗里达格鲁吉亚路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（FGLSAMP）旨在建立一个2013-2015年桥梁博士学位网站在佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）。FIU BD的主要目标是增加获得STEM博士学位的LSAMP毕业生的数量，并成功地将他们过渡到工业，政府或学术界的研究生职业生涯。FIU BD的目标是在未来5-7年内从这一群体中培养出17名STEM博士，并培养足够数量的少数民族研究生，以影响全国少数民族博士培养的科学家和工程师的毕业。金融情报机构通往博士学位的桥梁项目将建立在联盟内前九批已被证明的最佳做法的基础上，自2003年第一批FGLSAMP BD以来，已有30名博士生毕业。我们提出了一个多方面的，以学生为中心的倡议，将利用FGLSAMP过去的成功，同时利用外部合作伙伴（佛罗里达教育基金的麦克奈特博士奖学金计划），国家实验室（布鲁克海文，海军研究实验室等），其他NSF标志性项目（CREST、NERC、ASSIST、PIRE等）金融情报室的机构投资通过实施FGLSAMP学术干预战略，这些战略以前在研究生中培养了高水平的成就，并在整个较大的LSAMP社区中发挥了示范作用，FIU将有能力成为STEM少数民族博士毕业生年度生产的国家领导者。预计这一综合研究教育计划的综合活动将对增加下一代少数民族科学家和工程师的管道产生变革性影响。

The Florida Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FGLSAMP) seeks to establish a 2013-2015 Bridge to the Doctorate site at Florida International University (FIU). The primary objective of the FIU BD will be to increase the number of LSAMP graduates who obtain STEM doctoral degrees, and successfully transition them into post-graduate careers in industry, government, or academia. The goal of the FIU BD is to produce 17 STEM PhDs within the next 5-7 years from this cohort, and develop a critical mass of minority graduate students to impact the national graduation of minority PhD trained scientists and engineers as a whole. The FIU Bridge to the Doctorate project will build upon the proven best practices of nine previous cohorts within the Alliance that have graduated 30 PhD students since the first FGLSAMP BD cohort in 2003. We propose a multi-faceted, student-centered initiative that will leverage FGLSAMP past successes while leveraging resources from external partners (Florida Education Fund's McKnight Doctoral Fellowship Program), national labs (Brookhaven, Naval Research Laboratory, etc.), other signature NSF programs (CREST, NERC, ASSIST, PIRE, etc.) and institutional investments at FIU. Through the implementation of FGLSAMP academic intervention strategies that have previously fostered high levels of achievement among graduate students and served as a model throughout the larger LSAMP community, FIU will be well positioned to become a national leader in the annual production of minority PhD graduates in STEM. It is anticipated that the combined activities of this integrated research-education program will have transformative impact toward increasing the pipeline of the next generation of minority scientists and engineers.
