Project Summary: LSAMP Phase IV (2006-2011) Western Alliance to Expand Student Opportunities(WAESO)WAESO combines the efforts of an alliance of 35 colleges and universities, 8 professional organizations, 2government laboratories, 9 educational organizations, 21 corporations, 147 academic and support programs, 500resource individuals, approximately 85% of whom are scientists, engineers, and other faculty, and 15%administrators with just over 40% of these resource individuals being underrepresented minorities.Overall Objective: Phase IV WAESO is a comprehensive, concerted, sequenced effort that proposes to useLSAMP NSF funding for underrepresented undergraduate student activities, including the transition of collegesophomores, juniors, and seniors toward graduate school and the development of high technology products withapplication or dissemination both regionally and nationally. Through the Bridges to the Doctorate program ourLSAMP will continue our successful multidisciplinary faculty mentoring network to transition these students toSTEM Ph.D. programs. Moreover, with NSF Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP)support, PHASE IV WAESO students will be assisted through the doctorate and even beyond to faculty status orcareers in the corporate or government sectors.Based on the successes of Phase I and Phase II in doubling the number of graduates per year of our target populationand being on pace for a similar doubling goal in Phase III, we propose to take on the formidable task of achievingB.S. degree rates reflective of our substantial underrepresented minority population. Using the information form thecensus bureau (http://www.census.gov) USA July 2004 reports for Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah statethat our region has a population which of the 12,370,000 people estimated in this report, 34% (compared with 28%nationally) are American Indian, African American, and Hispanic. In order to move much closer to achieving paritywith the relatively stable overall STEM B.S. degree production rate for the proposed Phase IV cohort of 10,551, wepropose the numerical goal in the year 2011 of 2,630 STEM B.S. degrees awarded to American Indian, AfricanAmerican, and Hispanic as accomplishing much towards achieving parity with our regional population of theseAmericans, which would result in a representation of greater than 25% and put us well on the way to successfullyreaching parity.Specific Goals: Based on the tremendous success of our current WAESO LSAMP Phase III alliance that has beenfunded in part by a NSF cooperative agreements since 1990, we specifically propose to:(1) Further institutionalize our highly successful Phase III activities to ensure that alliance goals and objectives willcontinue to be achieved beyond NSF support;(2) Double once again the annual BS degree rate from a new (adjusted due to cohort membership changes) currentbaseline of 1,315 underrepresented student science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) BS degreesto 2,630 within five years (by 2011);(3) Further expand, sustain, and connect LSAMP BS graduates, especially LSAMP Bridge to the Doctoratefellowship students, with our MGE@MSA AGEP and other AGEPs nationally to create, enhance, andinstitutionalize permanent pathways to successful graduate study and academic careers.The intellectual merit of our proposed activity is that we will draw upon and expand our alliances large existingcommunities of underrepresented minority STEM scholar/researcher/teacher/mentors and student apprenticescholar/researcher/teacher/protgs working collaboratively to further structure and sustain a research-based hothouse environment to create wide-spread regional systemic change with dramatically positive national implicationsand repercussions.The broader impacts of our proposed activity is to achieve and sustain a level of admission, development,graduation, placement, promotion, and tenure of baccalaureate, masters, doctoral, post-doctoral, junior faculty, andsenior faculty underrepresented STEM scholars in proportion to the diversity of our society as a whole. We havestrong reason to believe that our WAESO LSAMP alliance will become a national model for the strengthening anddiversification of STEM students and faculty to ensure that the U.S. will continue to lead the world in research andtechnology despite the increasingly intense global competition of the 21st century.

项目概要：LSAMP第四阶段（2006-2011）西部联盟扩大学生机会（WAESO）WAESO结合了35所学院和大学，8个专业组织，2个政府实验室，9个教育组织，21个公司，147个学术和支持项目，500个资源个人，其中约85%是科学家，工程师和其他教师的联盟的努力，和15%的管理人员，其中超过40%的资源个人是代表性不足的少数民族。总体目标：第四阶段WAESO是一个全面的，协调一致的，有序的努力，建议使用LSAMP NSF资助代表性不足的本科生活动，包括大学生，大三学生，和高年级学生走向研究生院和高科技产品的开发与应用或传播的区域和国家。通过桥梁博士课程ourLSAMP将继续我们成功的多学科教师指导网络过渡这些学生到STEM博士。程序.此外，在NSF研究生教育和教授联盟（AGEP）的支持下，第四阶段WAESO的学生将获得博士学位，甚至更高的教师地位或在企业或政府部门的职业生涯。基于第一阶段和第二阶段的成功，我们的目标人群每年的毕业生人数翻了一番，并正在为第三阶段类似的翻一番目标而努力，我们打算承担起保卫B. S.学位率反映了我们大量代表性不足的少数民族人口。根据美国统计局（http：www.census.gov）2004年7月关于亚利桑那州、新墨西哥州、内华达州和犹他州的报告，我们地区的人口估计为12，370，000人，其中34%（全国为28%）是美洲印第安人、非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人。为了更接近实现与相对稳定的整体STEM B.S.根据拟议的第四阶段10，551人的学位生产率，我们提出2011年的数字目标为2，630个STEM B.S.。授予美国印第安人、非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人的学位，在实现与这些美国人的地区人口平等方面取得了很大成就，这将使我们的代表性超过25%，并使我们顺利地走上了成功实现平等的道路。基于我们目前WAESO LSAMP第三阶段联盟的巨大成功，该联盟自1990年以来部分由NSF合作协议资助，我们特别建议：（1）进一步使我们非常成功的第三阶段活动制度化，以确保联盟的目标和目的在国家科学基金会的支持下继续实现;（2）再次将每年的学士学位率从一个新的（由于队列成员的变化而调整）目前的基线为1，315名代表性不足的学生科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学士学位，五年内（到2011年）将达到2，630名;（3）进一步扩大，维持和连接LSAMP BS毕业生，特别是LSAMP桥梁博士奖学金学生，与我们的MGE@MSA AGEP和其他AGEP全国创造，增强，并使成功的研究生学习和学术生涯的永久途径制度化。我们提议的活动的智力价值是，我们将利用和扩大我们的联盟，学者/研究员/教师/导师和学生学徒cholar/研究员/教师/protgs合作，以进一步构建和维持一个以研究为基础的温室环境，以创造广泛的区域系统性变化，并产生显著的积极的国家影响和反响。我们提出的活动的更广泛的影响是实现和维持学士学位，硕士学位，博士、博士后、初级教师和高级教师在我们整个社会的多样性中所占的比例低于STEM学者。我们有充分的理由相信，我们的WAESO LSAMP联盟将成为加强STEM学生和教师的力量和多样化的国家模式，以确保美国在世纪日益激烈的全球竞争中继续领导世界的研究和技术。
