Eleven higher education institutions, including community colleges, private liberal arts colleges, and public institutions, will collaborate with local schools and community agencies in the Portland metropolitan area. The overlapping goals of this partnership are three-fold: 1) develop a coherent and coordinated plan to increase and support minority students in mathematics and science education, and work to secure commitments from member institutions to implement the plan; 2) develop a plan for establishing a Middle School Science Program modeled on the successful Middle School Math Program at PSU; 3) develop a plan for a coordinated program of mathematics and science courses recommended for preservice mathematics and science teachers, and include plans for revision and design of courses to be added. Anogher goal is to develop and disseminate an inter-campus catalogue of course listing, descriptions of relevant faculty, programs, placement affiliations, departmental strengths, enrollments, and student demographics. Each goal will be met through task forces dedicated to each of these individually, but with the collective efforts of all task force members who will be informed of developments through electronic bulletin board. The three task forces will each be chaired by teams of two members from the Steering Committee. Each task force will have eight task force leaders responsible for coordinating their task force's activities. Anb additional 22 members will join each task force to develop plans for change in their respective focus area. All plans will be completed to the extent that member institutions should be able to begin implementation by the end of this grant period.

11所高等教育机构，包括社区学院、私立文理学院和公共机构，将与波特兰大都市区的当地学校和社区机构合作。这一伙伴关系的重叠目标有三个方面：1)制定一个连贯和协调的计划，以增加和支持少数民族学生接受数学和科学教育，并努力确保成员机构承诺实施该计划；2)以PSU成功的中学数学课程为蓝本，制定建立中学科学课程的计划；3)为职前数理科教师制定数学与科学课程推荐协调方案，包括拟增加课程的修订和设计方案。另一个目标是制定和传播一份校际课程目录，包括课程列表、相关教师、项目、实习关系、部门优势、入学人数和学生人口统计数据。每个目标都将通过专门针对每个目标的工作组来实现，但所有工作组成员将通过电子公告板了解发展情况，共同努力。这三个工作队将分别由指导委员会的两名成员组成的小组担任主席。每个工作队将有八名工作队组长负责协调其工作队的活动。另外还有22名成员将加入每个工作队，以制定各自重点领域的变革计划。所有计划都将完成，成员机构应该能够在本赠款期结束时开始实施。
