Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) is an initiative supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as a supplemental activity of the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP). The goal of the supplement is to fund the initial two years of doctoral study for underrepresented students in MD/PhD and PhD programs in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) at the University of Illinois of Chicago, one of 18 Illinois LSAMP Alliance institutions.
