Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation - Phase III

德雷塞尔大学作为大费城地区路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（Philadelphia AMP）的代表，正在寻求AMP第三阶段项目的持续资助，以加强其正在进行的努力，大幅提高获得科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学士学位的非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和美国原住民学生的数量和质量，随后，进入研究生院攻读博士学位。费城黑人学院代表了一个多元化的联盟，包括公立和私立、两年制和四年制、研究型和非研究型、传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）和大多数机构。该提案的一个显著特点是，拟议的AMP第三阶段项目的基本方式是建立在伙伴关系、资源、有效实践和经验的坚实基础上的，这些经验来自于8年的合作、合作和共同努力，重点关注当前费城AMP第二阶段项目下少数民族学生的成就。在费城amp存在的过去八年中，该联盟通过使用学院/大学，基金会，州政府和公司资金，为该项目提供了超过790万美元的配套资金。由于费城amp的努力，已经建立了一种机制，以促进机构，部门和组织文化的变化和实践，这将导致所有学生的招聘，保留，STEM学位生产和研究生入学的显着增加。为支持AMP三期项目，来自9个成员机构的170名STEM终身教职教师、学术部门负责人和高级行政人员将积极参与AMP学生的招聘、建议和指导。在这项提案中，“少数民族”指的是非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和印第安人。

Drexel University, as a representative of the Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (Philadelphia AMP), seeks continued funding as an AMP Phase III project, to intensify its on-going efforts to substantially increase the quantity and quality of African American, Hispanic and Native American students receiving baccalaureate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and subsequently, entering graduate school to attain doctoral degrees. Philadelphia AMP represents a diverse alliance of public and private, 2- and 4-year, research and non-research, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and majority institutions. A salient feature of this proposal is the fundamental manner in which the proposed AMP Phase III project rests on a solid foundation of partnerships, resources, effective practices and experience derived from eight years of collaboration, cooperation and concerted efforts focused on minority student achievement under the current Philadelphia AMP Phase II project. Over the past eight years of Philadelphia AMP.s existence, the Alliance has contributed over $7.9 million in matching funds to the project through the use of college/university, foundation, state government, and corporate funds. As a result of Philadelphia AMP.s efforts, a mechanism has been developed to catalyze changes in institutional, departmental, and organizational culture and the practices that will result in significant increases in recruitment, retention, STEM degree production, and graduate school entry for all students. In support of this AMP Phase III project, 170 tenured STEM faculty, academic department heads, and senior administrative personnel from the 9 member institutions will actively participate in recruiting, advising and mentoring AMP students. In this proposal "minority" refers to African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans.
