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.

马里兰州路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟大学系统第三阶段拟议的资金将支持继续实施一项综合计划，将学生与三所USM机构的研究基地连接起来，这三所大学于1995年成立了一个联盟，以扩大和提高旨在大幅提高STEM领域未被充分代表的少数族裔(URM)学生数量和质量的倡议的影响。随着巴尔的摩县马里兰大学(UMBC)校长Freeman A.Hrabowski博士III继续担任首席研究员，UMBC、马里兰大学、学院公园(UMCP)和马里兰大学东岸(UMES)将实施拟议的USM LSAMP，该计划第三阶段旨在服务于本科生，特别是那些未被充分代表的种族和少数族裔群体的成员。在从第一阶段和第二阶段的成功经验以及从其他LSAMP方案和具有类似目标的其他倡议的最佳做法的基础上，为拟议的LSAMP第三阶段确定了以下可衡量的目标：每年增加STEM领域的URM学生的入学率；提高STEM领域的URM学生的保留率；每年提高STEM课程和专业的URM学生的学习成绩；增加URM STEM学生的年累计平均绩点在3.0或以上的比例；提高STEM专业的URM学生的六年毕业率；增加在STEM领域继续攻读研究生课程的URM学生数量。NSF和其他基金将为联盟的五个主要组成部分提供支持：夏季组成部分：包括夏季桥梁计划，通过学术支持和继续学生的暑期研究机会促进新生过渡到大学；学年组成部分：包括本科生研究奖学金、研究生院准备、侵入性学术建议、导师辅导、监测和其他学术支持；协作组成部分：旨在加强和提供正式结构，以解决USM LSAMP校区内外的计划和计划之间的色彩流产问题，其目标与LSAMP的目标相似。课程审查和修订部分：正在进行审查，并根据需要修订.Filter“STEM课程的课程，这将有助于URM和其他学生在STEM专业取得成功和留住学生。跟踪和跟踪部分：将跟踪项目校友的学术和职业成就，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，特别是在教授职位上。在整个本科阶段，学生将与教师和其他导师一起，在合作机构和校外(包括国家实验室)积极参与研究项目，并将被鼓励在适当的环境中展示他们的研究成果。此外，在第三阶段，USM联盟将与在校园内运营的现有项目合作，包括NSF资助的研究生教育和教授联盟(AGEP)，以及由美国教育部资助的McNair学者和向上绑定项目，以及其他提供有针对性服务的管道，以支持URM学生从九年级到博士学位。
