2014-2016 Florida-Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Bridge to the Doctorate at the University of South Florida

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划通过显著增加成功完成科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科高质量学位课程的学生人数，帮助大学和学院实现STEM劳动力的多样化。 特别强调通过创新的招聘和保留战略和经验来改变STEM教育，以支持在STEM学科中历史上代表性不足的群体：非洲裔美国人，阿拉斯加原住民，美洲印第安人，西班牙裔美国人，夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民。 该桥梁博士学位（BD）活动提供了在STEM项目的学士后研究的支持，导致STEM博士学位。南佛罗里达大学（USF）是2014-2016年（队列XII）的佛罗里达州-格鲁吉亚路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟的BD计划的主办网站下，佛罗里达A M大学，历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）的领导。 该计划支持12个代表性不足的少数民族（URM）STEM博士的研究生队列。来自全国各地LSAMP校园的学生。 这个BD活动提供了在特定的STEM学科，特别是物理广泛的培训，作为一个新的美国物理学会（APS）桥梁计划网站。 在为期两年的时间里，该计划提供专业发展和指导，促进同行指导和领导科学界。 学生获得严格的学术和研究培训经验，支持完成博士学位。以及向学术界和工业界竞争性职业的过渡。 研究员还从事辅导和K-12外展，以扩大潜在的管道，代表性不足的少数民族学生追求STEM职业和STEM研究生教育。在项目期间及以后，南佛罗里达大学的BD计划有助于增加来自代表性不足的群体的学生完成STEM博士学位的数量和质量。学位和进入STEM职业的研究生就业。 它加强了HBCU（FAMU）与包括国家实验室在内的几个主要多数服务研究机构之间的伙伴关系，研究合作和衔接战略。 BD活动的长期影响反映在美国的STEM劳动力中，无论是在学术界还是在工业研发领域。通过从历史上的少数民族人口中培养未来的STEM校友，增加的价值体现在全国STEM学科的多样性中，增加了博士水平的代表性，并为下一代提供了榜样和动力。

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming STEM education through innovative recruitment and retention strategies and experiences in support of groups historically under-represented in STEM disciplines: African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity provides support for postbaccalaureate studies in STEM programs leading to the STEM doctoral degree.The University of South Florida (USF) is the host site for the 2014-2016 (Cohort XII) BD program for the Florida-Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation under the leadership of Florida A&M University, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). The program supports a graduate student cohort of 12 underrepresented minority (URM) STEM Ph.D. students from LSAMP campuses across the nation. This BD Activity provides extensive training in specific STEM disciplines, particularly physics, as a new American Physical Society (APS) Bridge Program site. Over a two-year period, the program provides professional development and guidance that promote peer mentoring and leadership in the scientific community. Students receive rigorous academic and research training experiences that support completion of the Ph.D. and the transition to a competitive career in academia and industry. Fellows also engage in mentoring and K-12 outreach to expand the potential pipeline of underrepresented minority students pursuing STEM careers and STEM graduate education.Over the duration of the project and beyond, the BD program at USF serves to increase the number and quality of students from underrepresented groups completing STEM Ph.D. degrees and entering post-graduate employment in STEM careers. It enhances partnerships, research collaborations, and articulation strategies between an HBCU (FAMU) and several major majority-serving research institutions, including national laboratories. The long-term impact of the BD activity is reflected in America's STEM workforce,both in academia and in industrial research and development. By nurturing futureSTEM alumni from historically minority populations, the value added is seen in the diversity of STEM disciplines in the nation, increasing representation at the doctoral level and providing role models and motivation for the next generation.
