UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF MARYLAND LOUIS STOKES ALLIANCE FOR MINORITY PARTICIPATION, PHASE III The proposed funding will support the continuation of a comprehensive program connecting students with the research base at three USM institutions that began an Alliance in 1995 to extend and increase the impact of initiatives to increase substantially the quantity and quality of underrepresented minority (URM) students receiving baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields. With Dr. Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) continuing as Principal Investigator, UMBC, the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP), and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) will implement the proposed USM LSAMP, Phase III which is designed to serve undergraduate students, particularly those who are members of underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups. Building on lessons learned from the successes in Phase I and II and best practices from other LSAMP Programs and other initiatives with similar goals, the following measurable objectives have been established for the proposed LSAMP, Phase III. To increase the enrollment of URM students in STEM fields annualy; To increase the retention to second year rate of URM students in STEM fields annualy; To improve the academic performance of URM students in STEM courses and majors annually; To increase the percentage of URM STEM students earning cumulative GPAs at or above 3.0 annually; To increase the six-year graduation rates of URM students in STEM majors; To increase the number of URM students who go on to graduate programs in STEM fields. NSF and other funds will provide support for the five major Alliance components: The Summer Component: Includes a Summer Bridge Program to facilitate new students' transition to the university through academic support and summer research opportunities for continuing students The Academic Year Component: Includes undergraduate research fellowships, graduate school preparation, intrusive academic advising, mentoring tutoring, monitoring, and other academic support; The Collaboration Component: Is designed to enhance and provide a formal structure for colaborations among and between programs and initiatives on and off the USM LSAMP campuses with goals similar to those of LSAMP. The Curriculum Review and Revision Component: The ongoing review and, as needed, revisions of the curricula for .filter" STEM courses will facilitate the success and retention in STEM majors of URM and other students. The Tracking and Follow-up Component: The academic and career accomplishments of Program alumni will be tracked, and folow-up contacts will be made with them to encourage their persistence in STEM graduate programs and consideration of STEM careers, particularly in the professoriate. Throughout their undergraduate years, students will be actively involved in research projects with faculty and other mentors, at the partnering institutions and off campus (including national laboratories), and will be encouraged to present their research findings in appropriate settings. Also, in Phase III, the USM Alliance will collaborate with established programs operating on the campuses, including the NSF-funded Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP), and the McNair Scholars and Upward Bound programs funded by the U.S. Department of Education, among others that provide a pipeline with targeted services to support URM students from grade nine through the Ph.D.

马里兰大学系统路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟，第三阶段拟议的资金将支持一项综合计划的继续，该计划将学生与三所USM机构的研究基地联系起来，该机构于1995年开始建立联盟，以扩大和增加倡议的影响，以大幅提高获得STEM领域学士学位的少数族裔（URM）学生的数量和质量。Freeman A. Hrabowski， III博士，马里兰大学巴尔的摩县（UMBC）校长继续担任首席研究员，马里兰大学，学院公园大学（UMCP）和马里兰大学东海岸（UMES）将实施拟议的USM LSAMP，第三阶段，旨在为本科生服务，特别是那些代表性不足的种族和少数民族群体的成员。根据第一阶段和第二阶段的成功经验，以及其他LSAMP项目和其他具有类似目标的举措的最佳实践，为拟议的LSAMP第三阶段确立了以下可衡量的目标。每年增加理工大学STEM专业的招生人数；每年提高理科大学STEM专业学生的留校率至第二年；每年提高港大学生在STEM课程和专业的学习成绩；增加每年累积平均分在3.0或以上的理科学生的百分比；提高港大STEM专业学生的六年毕业率；增加URM学生继续在STEM领域攻读研究生课程的人数。美国国家科学基金会和其他基金将为联盟的五个主要组成部分提供支持：夏季部分：包括一个夏季桥梁项目，通过学术支持和继续学生的夏季研究机会来促进新生向大学的过渡学年部分：包括本科研究奖学金，研究生院准备，侵入性学术建议，指导辅导，监督和其他学术支持；协作组件：旨在加强并提供一个正式的结构，以便在USM LSAMP校园内外的项目和倡议之间进行合作，其目标与LSAMP相似。课程审查和修订部分：正在进行的审查和必要时对“。filter”STEM课程的课程进行修订，将有助于URM和其他学生在STEM专业的成功和保留。跟踪和跟进部分：项目校友的学术和职业成就将被跟踪，并与他们进行后续联系，以鼓励他们坚持STEM研究生课程，并考虑STEM职业，特别是教授。在整个本科阶段，学生将在合作机构和校外（包括国家实验室）与教师和其他导师积极参与研究项目，并鼓励他们在适当的环境中展示他们的研究成果。此外，在第三阶段，USM联盟将与校园内的现有项目合作，包括美国国家科学基金会资助的研究生教育和教授联盟（AGEP），美国教育部资助的麦克奈尔学者和向上发展项目，以及其他为URM学生提供从九年级到博士学位的有针对性服务的管道。
