LSAMP BD: North Carolina State University Preparing Researchers of the Future (PROF) NC-LSAMP

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）项目帮助大学和学院通过培养具有高度竞争力的学生，使STEM劳动力多样化，这些学生来自历史上在STEM学科中代表性不足的群体：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原住民。LSAMP通往博士学位的桥梁（BD）活动的目标是增加历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口的STEM研究生的数量和竞争力，重点是STEM博士的入学和完成。2018-2020年北卡罗来纳州LSAMP (NC-LSAMP) BD计划将从全国LSAMP机构招募12名校友，在北卡罗来纳州立大学进行STEM学士学位后学习。每位学生将获得为期两年的奖学金和教育费用支持。该机构承诺通过完成STEM博士课程为学生提供经济援助。NCSU的策略以学生为中心，并制定了一个全面的支持计划，以提高学生成为一名强大而富有成效的STEM研究人员的信心；增加学生与他们的研究顾问的联系；提高他们对研究课题的评估和贡献能力；增加他们与大学和周边社区的联系；提高了他们的整体幸福感。该项目活动为有关近端影响对少数民族研究生坚持性的影响的文献增加了新的知识。此外，该提案将为在不同近端影响的相互作用中产生积极结果的策略提供新的见解。在这个项目结束时，BD参与者将拥有强大而有弹性的策略，这将使他们在博士学位期间保持坚持。我们的教师将学习新的指导技巧，以帮助改善他们与研究生的互动。我们的研究将是第一个探索咨询小组对每个研究生的影响，以提高研究生的整体福祉和他们在研究生课程中的坚持。评估活动将评估学生在保留、学位完成和职业发展方面的成就。与职业目标相关的社会心理结果和与STEM身份发展相关的期望也将被评估。研究结果将通过该机构的网站、学术期刊和STEM专业会议上的演讲广泛传播。这些努力将增加STEM学术领导的多样性，并有助于在研究生和研究生层面扩大STEM参与的文献越来越多。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through the development of highly competitive students from groups historically underrepresented in STEMdisciplines: African-Americans, Alaska Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. The goal of the LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity is to increase the quantity and competitiveness of STEMgraduate students from historically underrepresented minority populations, with emphasis on STEM doctoral matriculation and completion.The 2018-2020 North Carolina LSAMP (NC-LSAMP) BD program will recruit twelve (12)alumni from LSAMP institutions nationwide for STEM postbaccalaureate studies at North Carolina State University Student support in the form of stipends and cost of education are provided for two years for each student. The institution commits to assisting the students financially through completion of the STEM doctoral program. NCSU's strategy focuses on the student and develops a comprehensive supportive program that will increase the student's confidence in being a strong and productive STEM researcher; increases the student's connection to their research advisor; increases their ability to assess and contribute towards their research topic; increases their connection to the university and surrounding community; and, increases their overall well-being. The project activities adds new knowledge to the literature related to the impact of proximal influences on the persistence of minority graduate students. In addition, the proposal will add new insights into strategies that lead to positive outcomes during the interactions within the different proximal influences. At the conclusion of this program, the BD participants will be armed with robust and resilient strategies that will allow them to maintain their persistence through the Ph.D. degree. Our faculty will be instructed in new mentoring techniques to help improve their interactions with their graduate students. Our study will be the first to explore the impact of an advisory panel for each graduate student to improve the overall well-being of the graduate student and their persistence through the graduate program.Evaluative activities will assess outcomes of students' accomplishments relating to retention, degree completion, and career progress. Social psychological outcomes related to career goals and expectations related to STEM identity development will also be assessed. Outcomes will be disseminated broadly through the institution's website, scholarly journals, and presentations at STEM professional conferences. These efforts will increase the diversity of STEM academic leadership and contribute to the growing literature on broadening participation in STEM at the graduate and post-graduate level.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
