LSAMP BD: Florida International University FGLSAMP

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）正在建立一个2018-2020年桥梁博士（BD）网站在佛罗里达国际大学（FIU），以增加LSAMP博士学位获得者的数量。 该计划将培训BD研究员获得博士学位，并鼓励他们过渡到学术界的职业生涯，为其他学生树立榜样。FIU在STEM领域拥有良好的招聘，保留和毕业少数民族学生的记录。该FGLSAMP-FIU网站解决了国家的挑战，“增加参与和成功的代表性不足的少数民族在S E有助于和国家的健康，通过扩大S E人才库，加强创新，提高国家的全球经济领导地位。“FIU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，在STEM中代表性不足的学生中培养高学术成就，以及FIU，FSU，UF和USF的15个先前FGLSAMP BD队列的“最佳实践”，这些队列支持了200多名少数民族研究生。拟议计划的目标是：1）招募和地方LSAMP本科生到干博士课程在金融情报大学，2）确保成功的论文研究和所有BD研究员的培训; 3）提供结构化的专业发展活动，以发展一个强大的学习社区，支持“志同道合”的少数民族学者的网络，并促进他们成功地保留在干博士课程; 4）通过扩展的国家实验室和国际研究经验，为全球STEM劳动力培养研究员，5）为BD研究员的成功提供指导指导，以及6）让BD研究员参与K-12外展、教学，近，LSAMP本科生的同伴指导，使他们能够激励下一代少数民族科学家和工程师。该奖项反映了NSF的基金会的使命是履行其法定使命，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 Florida Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FGLSAMP) is establishing a 2018-2020 Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) site at Florida International University (FIU) to increase the number of LSAMP doctoral degree awardees. The program will train the BD fellows to a doctoral degree and encourage them to transition into a career in academia to serve as a role model for other students. FIU, has a proven record of recruiting, retaining and graduating minority students in STEM. The FGLSAMP-FIU site addresses the National Challenge of "increasing the participation and success of underrepresented minorities in S&E contributes and to the health of the nation by expanding the S&E talent pool, enhancing innovation, and improving the nation's global economic leadership."FIU proposes a multi-faceted, student-centered initiative that will leverage the past successes of FGLSAMP in fostering high academic achievement amongst underrepresented students in STEM, and the "best practices" of fifteen prior FGLSAMP BD cohorts at FIU, FSU, UF, and USF that have supported over 200 minority graduate students. The objectives of the proposed program are: 1) recruit and place LSAMP undergraduates into STEM PhD programs at FIU, 2) ensure successful dissertation research and training for all BD fellows; 3) provide structured professional development activities to develop a strong learning community, support network of "like-minded" minority scholars, and promote their successful retention in a STEM doctoral program; 4) educate fellows for the global STEM workforce through extended national lab and international research experiences, 5) provide guided mentoring for the success of BD fellows, and 6) engage BD fellows in K-12 outreach, teaching, and near-peer mentoring of LSAMP undergraduates that will enable them to inspire the next generation of minority scientists and engineers.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.
