The University of Michigan, Western Michigan University, Michigan StateUniversity and Wayne State University propose to establish the Michigan-Louis StokesAlliances for Minority Participation (MI-LSAMP) in order to significantly increase thequantity and improve the quality of students earning science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) baccalaureate degrees from our institutions, and increase thenumber of under-represented minority (URM) students interested in, academicallyqualified for and matriculated into graduate study programs. The MI-LSAMP partners arerecognized as isflagshipld institutions in the State of Michigan and represent the diversityof public Doctoral Research Extensive institutions in the nation. While the UM, MSU,WSU and WMU have demonstrated a deep commitment to increasing the diversity andexcellence of their student bodies and have had long-standing collaborations with oneanother, they realize that the greatest gains will be achieved by formally allying. Themission of the MI-LSAMP not only supports the National Science Foundations strategicgoal to help create ira diverse, competitive and globally-engaged U.S. workforce ofscientists, engineers, technologists, and well-prepared citizens,lr it supports goals set forthby the Michigans Cherry Commission on Higher Education and Economic Growth.lnThe overall goals for the MI-LSAMP are to:1. Significantly increase the number of URM students earning baccalaureate degreesfrom MI-LSAMP partners. An aggressive but balanced plan has been devised toincrease the number of URM students earning baccalaureate degrees in STEM fieldsby 50% in 5 years, and 100% in 10 years. Programmatic activities focus onincreasing the recruitment of new and transfer URM students, and increasing theirgraduation rates as a consequence of participation in Science, Engineering and MathPre-First Year programs, research projects sponsored by the Michigan UndergraduateResearch Consortium, internships and co-ops, and residential learning programs.2. Institutionalize MI-LSAMP strategies and practices. Programmatic activities will beevaluated and the most effective and efficient of these will be institutionalized in aneffort to sustain, beyond the NSF funding period, growth in the number of URMstudents earning STEM degrees. In addition, MI-LSAMP offices, drop-in centers andlearning centers will become permanent fixtures on each of the alliance campuses.3. Contribute to a significant increase in the number of under-represented minoritystudents earning baccalaureate degrees in the State of Michigan and nationally.Successful completion of project will result in nearly a 50% increase in the number ofURM students earning baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields within the State ofMichigan. iiBest practicesla of the MI-LSAMP will be attractive for adoption andcould significantly improve national efforts to increase production in the STEMfields.4. Increase the number of students pursuing advanced degrees in STEM fields. The MI-LSAMP will collaborate with the Michigan AGEP Alliance (MAA), a recentlyestablished partnership of the same institutions, to ensure that students earningbaccalaureate degrees are prepared for, and aware of opportunities to pursueadvanced studies in STEM fields.The intellectual merit and broader impact of this project goes beyond increasing thenumber of URM students graduating in STEM fields and dissemination of effective andefficient MI-LSAMP programs. The MI-LSAMP will expand outreach to the pre-collegecommunity, increase the persistence of STEM majors, increase faculty involvement inmentoring URM students, promote collaboration among faculty at Michigan institutionsof higher education, and increase the diversity of our communities and workforce.

密歇根大学、西密歇根大学、密歇根州立大学和韦恩州立大学提议建立密歇根-路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟（MI-LSAMP）为了显著增加从我们的机构获得科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学士学位的学生的数量和质量，并增加对以下感兴趣的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的数量，学术上有资格进入研究生学习课程。MI-LSAMP合作伙伴被公认为密歇根州的旗舰机构，代表了全国公共博士研究机构的多样性。虽然UM，MSU，WSU和WMU已经表现出对增加学生团体的多样性和卓越性的坚定承诺，并且彼此之间有着长期的合作，但他们意识到，通过正式结盟将实现最大的收益。MI-LSAMP的发布不仅支持国家科学基金会的战略目标，以帮助创造伊拉多样化的，有竞争力的和全球参与的美国劳动力的科学家，工程师，技术人员，以及准备充分的公民，lr它支持的目标设定由密歇根州高等教育和经济增长樱桃委员会。显著增加从MI-LSAMP合作伙伴获得学士学位的URM学生人数。一个积极但平衡的计划已经制定，以增加URM学生在STEM领域获得学士学位的人数在5年内增加50%，在10年内增加100%。方案活动的重点是增加新的和转移URM学生的招聘，并提高他们的毕业率作为参与科学，工程和数学预科一年级课程，研究项目由密歇根大学研究联盟，实习和合作社，和住宅学习计划赞助的结果。将MI-LSAMP战略和做法制度化。项目活动将被评估，其中最有效和最高效的将被制度化，以努力在NSF资助期后保持获得STEM学位的URM学生数量的增长。此外，MI-LSAMP办公室、访问中心和学习中心将成为每个联盟校园的永久固定设施。为密歇根州和全国获得学士学位的代表性不足的少数民族学生数量的显著增加做出贡献。项目的成功完成将导致密歇根州内获得STEM领域学士学位的URM学生数量增加近50%。二. MI-LSAMP的最佳做法a将吸引采用，并可大大改善各国在科学、技术、工程和数学领域增加产量的努力。增加在STEM领域攻读高级学位的学生人数。该MI-LSAMP将与密歇根AGEP联盟（MAA），最近成立的同一机构的合作伙伴关系，以确保学生earningbacalaureate度做好准备，并意识到有机会追求在STEM领域的高级研究。该项目的智力价值和更广泛的影响超出了增加URM学生在STEM领域毕业的人数和有效的MI-LSAMP计划的传播。MI-LSAMP将扩大对大学预科学校的覆盖范围，增加STEM专业的持续性，增加教师参与指导URM学生，促进密歇根州高等教育机构教师之间的合作，并增加我们社区和劳动力的多样性。
