Cal-Bridge is a state-funded initiative to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM doctoral education and professional careers, particularly the professoriate. The Cal-Bridge network is a grass-roots collaboration of over 200 faculty from all nine general-purpose UC campuses, 22 CSU campuses, and numerous California Community Colleges. Cal-Bridge currently operates in three disciplinary areas: Physics & Astronomy, Computer Science, and Mathematics, and hopes to incorporate two more disciplines within the next few years. The Cal-Bridge program operates at a scale large enough to make an impact on the participation of these groups on a national scale.
