9550765 Ford The Louisiana Alliance for Minority Participation (LAMP) is a comprehensive statewide coordinated program aimed at substantially increasing the number and quality of minority students earning baccalaureate degrees in science, engineering and mathematics (SEM) areas. In the long term, the program design will lead to significant increase in minority SEM graduate enrollment in U.S. graduate schools. It is estimated that Louisiana institutions will increase to 500, the minority undergraduate SEM enrollment, while increasing graduate enrollment nationally to 100, by 1999. LAMP strategy centers on enhancing and coordinating existing SEM pipeline activities at Louisiana institutions, supporting undergraduate student research activities and introducing strategic statewide and regional academic and research activities to promote networking and technology exchanges. The LAMP implementation would continue the expansion of the State's SEM infrastructure and join the several systemic initiatives and EPSCoR programs coordinated through the Louisiana Board of Regents. Twelve institutions initially will manage a variety of campus-based programs and participate in several statewide and regional projects. Southern University and A&M College, the LAMP lead institution is an 1890 Land Grant university with a nationally recognized systemic model for physics education and is slated, under a recently court approved settlement agreement, to develop doctorate degree programs in Science and Mathematics Education, Material Science, Biomedical Sciences and in Administration and Information Systems over the next 10 years. Southern University System, parent organization to Souther University campuses in the major metropolitan areas of Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Shreveport, enrolls more than 36% of all African American college undergraduates in the State of Louisiana. Southern University and A&M College will provide management leadership to array of campus coordina ted minority participation enhancement activities around the State. Grambling State University, the fourth public Louisiana HBCU, as well as private Xavier University and Dillard University, both of New Orleans will be active LAMP participating institutions. RCMS projects at grambling State University, Southern University and A&M College, Xavier University and the University of New Orleans will collaborate with LAMP and serve as models for transporting to other Louisiana institutions. Louisiana State University, Tulane University, of Southwestern Louisiana, University of New Orleans and Southern University and A&M College will manage programs at the undergraduate/graduate interface and harness the projects of increased SEM undergraduate degree production. These impressive projections are conservative in view of a recent higher education desegregation settlement agreement pledging substantial state resources to expedite the movement of state HBCU institutions toward comprehensive graduate status through establishment of new graduate programs, fund other race recruitment and scholarships, and support articulation among institutions. The plan for expanding diversity on college campuses makes available additional resources to meet the goals of the LAMP, including improved facilities, increased student support and enhanced faculty/mentor support systems. Establishing LAMP closes a critical gap in the nation's SEM pipeline. Implementation of the LAMP moves the nation substantially toward its goal of awarding 50,000 undergraduate degrees and 2,000 doctorate degrees annually by 2000. Louisiana relatively large African-American population puts the State in a unique position to make significant contributions to the nations goal of increased minority participation in the SEM enterprise. the timing of this application makes it possible for unprecedented federal/state synergism to result in substantially increased resources and program development activities consis tent with NSF AMP goals.

9550765福特 路易斯安那州少数民族参与联盟（LAMP）是一个全面的全州协调计划，旨在大幅提高少数民族学生在科学，工程和数学（SEM）领域获得学士学位的数量和质量。 从长远来看，该计划的设计将导致美国研究生院少数民族SEM研究生入学人数的显着增加。 据估计，路易斯安那州的机构将增加到500，少数本科SEM招生，而增加研究生招生全国100，到1999年。 LAMP战略的重点是加强和协调路易斯安那州机构现有的SEM管道活动，支持本科生的研究活动，并引入战略性的全州和区域学术和研究活动，以促进网络和技术交流。 LAMP的实施将继续扩大该州的SEM基础设施，并加入通过路易斯安那州董事会协调的几个系统性倡议和EPSCoR方案。 12个机构最初将管理各种基于校园的项目，并参与几个全州和区域项目。 南方大学和A M学院，LAMP的领导机构是一所1890年的赠地大学，拥有全国公认的物理教育系统模型，并根据最近法院批准的和解协议，将在未来10年内开发科学与数学教育，材料科学，生物医学科学以及管理和信息系统的博士学位课程。 南方大学系统是位于巴吞鲁日、新奥尔良和什里夫波特等主要大都市地区的南方大学校园的母组织，在路易斯安那州招收了超过36%的非洲裔美国大学本科生。 南方大学和A M学院将为全州范围内的校园协调少数民族参与增强活动提供管理领导。 格兰布林州立大学、路易斯安那州第四所公立HBCU，以及新奥尔良的私立泽维尔大学和迪拉德大学，都将是积极的LAMP参与机构。 格兰布林州立大学、南方大学和A M学院、泽维尔大学和新奥尔良大学的RCMS项目将与LAMP合作，并作为运输到路易斯安那州其他机构的模式。 路易斯安那州州立大学，杜兰大学，西南路易斯安那州，新奥尔良大学和南方大学和A M学院将管理在本科生/研究生界面的项目，并利用增加SEM本科学位生产的项目。 这些令人印象深刻的预测是保守的，鉴于最近的高等教育废除种族隔离和解协议承诺大量的国家资源，以加快国家HBCU机构通过建立新的研究生课程，资助其他种族的招聘和奖学金，并支持机构之间的衔接走向全面的研究生地位。 扩大大学校园多样性的计划提供了额外的资源，以实现扫盲行动计划的目标，包括改善设施，增加学生支持和加强教师/导师支持系统。 建立LAMP填补了国家SEM管道中的一个关键空白。 LAMP的实施大大推动了国家实现到2,000年每年授予5万个本科学位和2,000个博士学位的目标。 路易斯安那州相对较大的非洲裔美国人人口使该州处于一个独特的地位，为国家增加少数民族参与SEM企业的目标作出重大贡献。 这一应用的时机使得前所未有的联邦/州协同作用成为可能，从而导致资源的实质性增加和与NSF AMP目标相一致的计划开发活动。
