PROJECT SUMMARYPage AThe Louis Stokes Mississippi Alliance for Minority ParticipationLSMAMPJames Perkins-LSMAMP Project DirectorJackson State UniversityPROJECT SUMMARYThe LSMAMP institutions are focusing their collective resources on the rich pool of STEMstudents to motivate and mentor them toward BS, MS degrees and impact significantly on thenumber choosing the pathway to a STEM doctorate. The synergy that will result from theseinstitutional interactions to increase minority Ph.D.s will transform the instructional,research and administrative aspects of cooperation among these institutions in ways neverbefore envisioned. The requested support for continuation of the LSMAMP to Phase IV willaccelerate this process and contribute to increasing the numbers of minority studentsentering the Ph.D. pipeline. The funding of the Phase IV program will continue tostrengthen the foundation for institutionalization of the program in the state ofMississippi.The MAMP Bridge to the Doctorate program, coordinated by JSU for the alliance andsupported by NSF, provides the resources to support 24 minority students to pursuegraduate STEM degrees (MS) and then bridge to doctoral programs at MAMP institutions orother doctoral institutions across the nation. The MAMP Bridge to the Doctorate programwas distinguished as being only one of two in the nation to place 100% of their Cohort IBridge to the Doctorate students into doctoral programs. The program developed for CohortI students will be shared with all MAMP institutions as a model to be replicated on eachMAMP campus to leverage the NSF funding and increase the total number of undergraduateMAMP students targeting doctoral studies. Students? having undergraduate researchexperiences is fundamental to the success of the Bridge to the Doctorate program.Undergraduate research will be a major focus of the Phase IV MAMP program. Each MAMP siteswill provide undergraduate research experiences for their students. MAMP sites will placestudents in research internship positions at MAMP institutions or at partner institutionsites. MAMP students will present their research at the annual MAMP research symposium.Students will also be encouraged to present the results of their research projects atstate and national conferences and meetings such as the Mississippi Academy of Sciences(MAS), the National Council on Undergraduate Research, the NSF JAM Conference, ABRCMS, andother professional conferences in their disciplines. The large number of minority studentsattending the MAS conference each year, and the steadily increasing number presentingpapers, has benefited the students and has made an indelible impression on the Academy,fostering a climate of increasing diversity in the scientific environment of the state andregion.The Phase IV MAMP will include a fresh approach to tracking students after they completetheir BS. A robust website incorporating web-portal technology will be developed tosupport communications, networking and student tracking across the MAMP community.Intellectual Merit: The goal of the LSMAMP program is to establish a secure pathway forunderrepresented minority students to obtain BS, MS and PhD degrees in science,technology, engineering and mathematics. This proposed project will build upon existingrelationships between MAMP institutions, and partnering institutions, e.g. University ofCalifornia campuses, LBL, LLNL, AGEM and MRC to increase the number of minority studentsenrolling and matriculating in MS and Ph.D. STEM graduate programs within and outside ofthe state of Mississippi. Broader Impacts: The LSMAMP program will increase the number ofPh.D. degrees in STEM areas awarded to minorities, especially African-Americans. We willPROJECT SUMMARYPage Aprovide well-qualified and diverse faculty members for U S universities and colleges, aswell as impact the number of scientists and engineers holding the doctorate for employmentin the STEM workforce.

项目摘要页A路易斯·斯托克斯密西西比少数族裔联盟LSMAMP詹姆斯·帕金斯-LSMAMP项目总监杰克逊州立大学项目摘要LSMAMP机构将其集体资源集中在STEM学生的丰富资源库上，以激励和指导他们获得BS，MS学位，并对选择STEM博士学位的学生产生重大影响。从这些机构的互动，以增加少数民族博士的协同作用将改变教学，研究和行政方面的合作，这些机构之间以前所未有的方式设想。对LSMAMP继续到第四阶段的支持将加速这一进程，并有助于增加少数民族学生获得博士学位的人数。渠道.第四阶段计划的资金将继续加强该计划在密西西比州制度化的基础。由JSU为联盟协调并由NSF支持的MAMP博士学位桥梁计划提供资源，以支持24名少数民族学生攻读研究生STEM学位（MS），然后在全国各地的MAMP机构或其他博士机构攻读博士学位。MAMP桥梁博士学位课程被认为是全国仅有的两个将其队列IBridge博士学位学生100%纳入博士课程的项目之一。为CohortI学生开发的计划将与所有MAMP机构共享，作为在每个MAMP校园复制的模式，以利用NSF资金并增加针对博士研究的本科MAMP学生总数。学生？拥有本科生的研究经验是通往博士学位的桥梁项目成功的基础。2本科生的研究将是第四阶段MAMP项目的主要重点。每个MAMP站点将为学生提供本科研究经验。MAMP网站将安排学生在MAMP机构或合作机构网站的研究实习职位。MAMP学生将在年度MAMP研究研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。学生还将被鼓励在州和国家会议上展示他们的研究项目成果，如密西西比科学院（MAS），国家本科生研究理事会，NSF JAM会议，ABRCMS和其他专业会议。每年参加MAS会议的少数民族学生人数众多，提交论文的数量稳步增加，使学生受益，并给学院留下了不可磨灭的印象，培养了国家和地区科学环境日益多样化的氛围。第四阶段MAMP将包括一种新的方法来跟踪学生完成学士学位后的情况。一个强大的网站，结合门户网站技术将被开发，以支持整个MAMP社区的通信，网络和学生跟踪。智力优势：LSMAMP计划的目标是建立一个安全的途径，为代表性不足的少数民族学生获得学士，硕士和博士学位的科学，技术，工程和数学。这个拟议的项目将建立在MAMP机构之间的现有关系，以及合作机构，例如加州大学校园，LBL，LLNL，AGEM和MRC，以增加少数民族学生的数量，并在MS和博士学位录取。密西西比州内外的STEM研究生项目。更广泛的影响：LSMAMP计划将增加博士学位的数量。授予少数民族，特别是非洲裔美国人的STEM领域学位。我们将为美国的大学和学院提供高素质和多样化的教师，并影响拥有博士学位的科学家和工程师在STEM劳动力中的就业人数。
