FL/GA Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation

佛罗里达农工大学提议作为佛罗里达-乔治亚州路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（FGLSAMP）第四阶段项目运作的机构主办单位。FGLSAMP旨在促进和促进HRD理事会下属的国家科学基金会（NSF） LSAMP计划的规划目标。根据美国国家科学基金会的目标和努力，解决那些被认为在STEM学科中代表性不足的少数民族在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域的参与度和学位产出低的问题，FGLSAMP将通过其计划结构来解决这一问题，该计划结构旨在促进学业成绩、本科研究经验、专业发展和为攻读STEM研究生学位做准备。成功的标准将由我们的学生参与者的进展来衡量（获得学士学位）；保留（在stem学科内）；毕业（及时达标）；STEM研究生招生（增加STEM少数族裔招生）。FGLSAMP将继续采用整体方法改革STEM学科的本科教育，并通过其指导委员会确定确定“野兽实践”，同时确定加强和提供新项目活动的方法。FGLSAMP旨在包括机构管理人员，教职员工，外部合作伙伴以及家长和学生的坚定承诺。FGLSAMP的目标是显著增加未被充分代表的少数民族在STEM学科中攻读本科学位的人数，以及攻读STEM研究生学位的STEM学士学位获得者的数量。fglsamp将为STEM学科的学生提供培训机会，同时还提供一系列学术表现提升和支持，以提高STEM少数族裔的保留率和毕业率。此外，为了解决攻读STEM研究生学位的STEM学士学位获得者的数量问题，FGLSAMP开发了一个正式的项目组成部分，为本科生攻读研究生学位做准备。这将通过FGLSAMP指导委员会接受和采用的密集程序化设计来实现。FGLSAMP将继续为本科生研究经验提供援助，包括为学生参与者介绍国际研究机会。FGLSAMP还将继续建立和加强社区学院之间的联系，并通过在联盟中加入两个新的协理级别的合作伙伴。社区学院是进入stem学术管道的宝贵人力资本来源。FGLSAMP项目的运作将通过美国国家科学基金会的年度财政支持来满足，这是佛罗里达州的一项特别拨款。通过增加两所社区学院，FGLSAMP将能够：1)刺激和提高学生对STEM领域学术和专业机会的认识；2)在社区学院学生和这两所社区学院附属的FGLSAMP本科院校之间建立更大的网络/管道。FGLSAMP还将在毕业前吸引更多潜在的STEM专业学生，并将他们转到高年级。

Florida A&M University proposes to serve as the institutional host-site for theFlorida - Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FGLSAMP) duringPhase IV program operations. FGLSAMP is designed to promote and facilitate theprogrammatic goals of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) LSAMP program underthe HRD Directorate. In accordance with the goals, objectives and effort of NSF toaddress the low participation and degree production within science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by those ethnic groups identified asunderrepresented in STEM disciplines, FGLSAMP will address this problem through itsprogrammatic structure which promotes enhancement of academic performance,undergraduate research experiences, professional development, and preparation forpursuing STEM graduate degrees. The standard of success will be measured by ourstudent participants': progression (to attain the B.S. degree); retention (within STEMdisciplines); graduation (timely attainment); and STEM graduate enrollment(increasing STEM Minority enrollment). FGLSAMP will continue to employ a holisticapproach to reform undergraduate education in the STEM disciplines along withidentified "beast practices" as determined through it Steering Committee, whiledetermining means to enhance and provide new program activities. FGLSAMP isdesigned to include a firm commitment of institutional administrators, faculty, staff,external partners, as well as parents and students.The goals of FGLSAMP are to significantly increase both the number ofunderrepresented minorities pursuing undergraduate degrees in STEM disciplines and thenumber of STEM B.S. degree recipients pursuing STEM graduate degrees. FGLSAMPwill provide training opportunities to students in STEM disciplines while also providingan array of academic performance enhancement and support that will yield greater STEMretention and graduations rates among underrepresented STEM minorities. Additionally,to address the numbers of STEM B.S. recipients pursuing STEM graduate degrees,FGLSAMP has developed a formalize program component to prepare its undergraduateparticipants to pursue graduate degrees. This will be accomplished through an intensiveprogrammatic design that has been accepted and adopted by the FGLSAMP SteeringCommittee. FGLSAMP will continue provide assistance for undergraduate researchexperiences that will include the introduction of international research opportunities forstudent participants. FGLSAMP will also continue to build and strengthen ties andinclusion of community colleges by the inclusion of 2 new associate level partners withinthe alliance. Community Colleges are a valuable source of human capital to enter theSTEM academic pipeline.FGLSAMP program operations will be met through annual financial support from theNational Science Foundation, a special appropriation from the State of Florida.Through the addition of two additional community colleges, FGLSAMP will beable to: 1) stimulate and increase student awareness of academic and professionalopportunities in STEM areas and 2) create a larger network/pipeline between thecommunity college students and FGLSAMP undergraduate institutions with which thesetwo community colleges are affiliated. FGLSAMP will also capitalize and capturegreater numbers of potential STEM majors prior to graduation and transfer to the upperdivision.
