All Nations Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Program (Mid-Level Alliance)

全美路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（ANLSAMP）计划是唯一一个专注于美国原住民（NA）本科学生在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科的联盟。美国仍然没有足够的STEM专业毕业生来满足这个国家不断增长的需求，特别是NA和其他未被充分代表的少数民族（URM）。为了帮助解决这一持续的国家危机，ANLSAMP将通过其建立的合作伙伴机构网络，继续改善和发展NA和其他URM STEM学生的管道。38所高等院校再次聚集在一起，继续努力扩大naa和URM在STEM学士学位水平的参与。部落学院和大学（tcu）中STEM学士学位课程数量的增加是一个关键指标，表明北美社区对加强STEM知识基础非常感兴趣。2005年至2010年期间，合作院校开设的STEM学士学位课程从3个增加到8个。ANLSAMP项目的目标是将美国原住民和其他未被充分代表的少数民族在合作机构就读STEM学科的人数增加一倍，并帮助他们完成STEM学士学位。为了实现这一目标和相关的支持目标，ANLSAMP计划通过从其已建立的伙伴机构中吸取的经验教训和建设性意见开展了活动。ANLSAMP项目的独特之处在于，多年来，大多数tcu都在某种程度上参与了该联盟。tcu分布在14个州，主要在中西部北部。tcu之所以成为目标，是因为更多的NA学生在tcu接受高等教育（IPEDS, 2010）。由于许多tcu缺乏各种STEM学位，特别是STEM学士学位课程，因此让网络内的主流学院和机构将学生从副学士水平过渡到学士水平甚至更高水平仍然很重要。ANLSAMP的目标如下：1。1 .在授予理学士学位的机构中，美国原住民学生在STEM学科的入学率增加100%。2 .获得stem学士学位的印第安学生人数增加100%。3 . ANLSAMP学者从两年制STEM项目过渡到四年制STEM项目的人数增加100%。4 .在授予学士学位的机构中，美国原住民学生在STEM学科的保留率增加20%。在STEM研究生项目中招收15%的ANLSAMP奖学金获得者。该计划的广泛影响不仅仅是扩大了NA和其他URM在STEM领域的机会，ANLSAMP将继续为主要是农村和经济困难的NA学生的目标人群打破障碍，扩大视野。ANLSAMP计划的智力价值，通过在国家活动中不断改进和改进的过程，预计将对如何将已证明的最佳实践纳入STEM研究和教育产生变革性影响。

The All Nations Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (ANLSAMP) program is the only Alliance focusing on Native American (NA) undergraduate students in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The United States continues to fall short in graduating enough STEM professionals to meet this nation's growing demand, especially NA and other under-represented minorities (URM). To help address this continuing national crisis, the ANLSAMP will continue to improve and grow the pipeline for NA and other URM STEM students through its established network of collaborating partner institutions.Thirty-eight institutions of higher learning have again come together to continue the effort toward broadening the participation of NA and URM in STEM at the baccalaureate level. The increase in the number of STEM bachelor's degree programs at tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) is a key indicator that the NA community has a wholehearted interest in strengthening the knowledge base in STEM. The number of BS STEM degree programs at partner TCUs has increased from three to eight during the period 2005 - 2010.The goal of the ANLSAMP program is again to double the number of Native Americans and other under-represented minorities enrolled in STEM disciplines at partner institutions and assist them in completing a STEM BS degree. In order to achieve this goal and related supporting objectives, the ANLSAMP program has built activities through lessons learned and constructive input from it's established cohort of partner institutions. Part of what makes the ANLSAMP program unique is that over the years most the TCUs have been involved in the Alliance at some point. TCUs are spread out over a fourteen states, primarily in the upper Midwest. TCUs are targeted because more NA students are pursuing their higher education at TCUs (IPEDS, 2010). Because many TCUs lack a variety of STEM degrees, especially STEM BS programs, it is still important to have mainstream colleges and institutions within the network to transition students from the associate level to the bachelor level and beyond.The objectives of ANLSAMP are as follows:1. Increase by 100%, the enrollment of Native American students in STEM disciplines at Bachelors of Science degree-granting institutions.2. Increase by 100%, the number of Native American students who receive a BS in STEM.3. Increase by 100%, the number of ANLSAMP Scholars that transition from a two-year STEM program into a four-year STEM program.4. Increase by 20%, the retention of Native American students in STEM disciplines at BS degree-granting institutions.5. To enroll 15% of the ANLSAMP Scholar recipients in STEM graduate programs.The broader impact of this program reaches beyond expanding the opportunities for NA and other URM in STEM, ANLSAMP will continue to break down barriers and expand horizons for the target population of mostly rural and economically challenged NA students.The intellectual merit of the ANLSAMP program, through the refinement and process of continual improvement within state activities, is expected to have a transformative effect on how to incorporate proven best practices into STEM research and education.
