Colorado State University (CSU), the lead institution, in collaboration with fourteen institutionalpartners constitutes the CO-AMP consortium. The Consortium is proposing a strategic andcomprehensive effort to address the following goals in connection with underrepresented minorities,women of color, and persons with disabilities successfully completing baccalaureate degrees in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM):1) Continue to increase bachelor degree completion in STEM disciplines;2) Improve retention and transfer rates from 2-year to 4-year institutions;3) Enhance partnerships with Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) in Colorado;4) Strengthen graduate school preparation;5) Promote international research experiences to enhance global diversity and understanding.Since its inception, efforts of the CO-AMP Consortium have extended from the pre-freshmenlevel to enrollment in graduate school programs. The Consortium has been a major driving force atpartner institutions to encourage and motivate students to excel and graduate with a bachelor?s. degree inSTEM fields. The enrollment and visibility of diverse students has also increased, demonstrated by therecent 84% increase in LS CO-AMP enrollment. A significant level of support, in addition to that fromthe NSF, has been provided by central administrations, Departments and Colleges of the Consortium,and industry partners. Most importantly, the Consortium faculty and staff have provided individualizedstudent support without which the activities would not have been as successful.Most, if not all, of the proposed initiatives in goals 1 through 5 have been and will continue to beinstitutionalized at partner institutions. Early integration of minority students into college life must start inthe admissions office with early faculty advising and mentoring linked to the process. Proposed math skillbuilding and science course assistance will be continued and further expanded. Student academicadvancement will also be enhanced by participation in NAPIRE and other international researchexperiences, contributing to global diversity and understanding. In addition, further establishment ofprofessional societies at 2-year and 4-year colleges is critical to increasing science identity andintegration into the professional community. This collaboration of national resources, resulting from thesediverse programs, is essential to assure benefits to underrepresented minorities, women of color, andperson with disabilities; and will be sustained as an essential structure continuing after funding from theNSF is no longer available.Intellectual MeritInnovative programs based on the Tinto Model and research results from the Higher EducationResearch Institute (HERI) will target improved academic and social integration of students into college lifeand promote students? self-identity as scientists. CO-AMP will integrate math assistance and curriculabetween 2-year and 4-year institutions. Pipelines between high school, 2-year/4-year colleges, andgraduate school will be integrated by faculty mentoring into the admissions process, establishingprofessional societies on campuses, and building bridges through innovative summer workshops,research at 2-year and 4-year campuses, and international research experiences. Evaluation efforts willprovide evidence-based methodologies for improving student retention. CO-AMP has a history of qualified staff, as well as the facilities, networks, and partnerships in place to focus onbuilding a stronger infrastructure that will continue to build capacity and compatibility in the Consortium.Broader ImpactsThe programs and activities CO-AMP will undertake cover the core areas of recruitment andretention, including training of faculty, promotion of proven programs, support from industry involvement,as well as conducting research to determine best practice in preparing students for higher levels of mathand science. CO-AMP is partnered with all of the Hispanic Serving Institutions in Colorado and FortLewis (one of only three Native American-Serving Non-Tribal Colleges in the US) making it optimallypositioned to serve the greatest number of Hispanic and Native American students. Results of researchconducted will be presented at conferences and published to further knowledge in this important area ofdiversity education. The results will reduce educational disparities and improve scientific knowledge inminority/tribal communities, as trained minority scientists act as role models and educators.

牵头机构科罗拉多州立大学 (CSU) 与十四家机构合作伙伴合作组成了 CO-AMP 联盟。该联盟提议采取一项战略性和全面的努力，以实现以下与代表性不足的少数族裔、有色人种女性和残疾人成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学士学位相关的目标：1) 继续提高 STEM 学科学士学位的完成率；2) 提高从 2 年制院校到 4 年制院校的保留率和转学率；3) 加强与 科罗拉多州的西班牙裔服务机构 (HSI)；4) 加强研究生院准备；5) 推广国际研究经验，以增强全球多样性和理解。自成立以来，CO-AMP 联盟的努力已从新生预科扩展到研究生院项目的招生。该联盟一直是合作机构鼓励和激励学生取得优异成绩并获得学士学位的主要推动力。 STEM 领域的学位。多元化学生的入学人数和知名度也有所增加，LS CO-AMP 入学人数最近增加了 84% 就证明了这一点。除了美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 的支持外，中央管理部门、联盟的部门和学院以及行业合作伙伴也提供了大力支持。最重要的是，联盟的教职员工提供了个性化的学生支持，没有这些支持，活动就不会如此成功。目标 1 至 5 中提议的举措中的大多数（如果不是全部）已经并将继续在合作伙伴机构制度化。少数族裔学生尽早融入大学生活必须从招生办公室开始，并在这一过程中提供早期教师的建议和指导。拟议的数学技能建设和科学课程援助将继续并进一步扩大。学生的学术进步也将通过参与 NAPIRE 和其他国际研究经验得到提高，从而促进全球多样性和理解。此外，在两年制和四年制学院进一步建立专业社团对于提高科学认同和融入专业社区至关重要。这些不同计划带来的国家资源合作对于确保代表性不足的少数群体、有色人种妇女和残疾人的利益至关重要；并将在国家科学基金会不再提供资助后继续作为一个重要的结构继续存在。智力优点基于 Tinto 模型和高等教育研究所 (HERI) 研究成果的创新项目将致力于改善学生在大学生活中的学术和社会融入，并促进学生？作为科学家的自我认同。 CO-AMP 将整合 2 年制和 4 年制机构之间的数学援助和课程。高中、两年制/四年制学院和研究生院之间的管道将通过教师指导纳入招生过程、在校园内建立专业社团、并通过创新暑期研讨会、两年制和四年制校园研究以及国际研究经验建立桥梁来整合。评估工作将为提高学生保留率提供基于证据的方法。 CO-AMP 拥有合格的员工队伍以及设施、网络和合作伙伴关系，专注于建设更强大的基础设施，从而继续增强联盟的能力和兼容性。 更广泛的影响 CO-AMP 将开展的计划和活动涵盖招聘和保留的核心领域，包括教师培训、推广经过验证的计划、行业参与的支持以及开展研究以确定最佳实践 为学生获得更高水平的数学和科学做好准备。 CO-AMP 与科罗拉多州和刘易斯堡的所有西班牙裔服务机构（美国仅有的三所为美国原住民服务的非部落学院之一）合作，使其处于最佳位置，可以为最多数量的西班牙裔和美国原住民学生提供服务。研究结果将在会议上展示并发表，以进一步了解多元化教育这一重要领域。研究结果将缩小少数民族/部落社区的教育差距并提高科学知识，因为训练有素的少数民族科学家将充当榜样和教育者。
