DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Leadership Alliance (LA) is a consortium of 31 universities and colleges which have as their collective mission to encourage underrepresented minorities to seek research and academic careers. The primary societal problem the Alliance addresses is the relatively low participation of these populations in academia as educators, leaders and decision makers. One means the LA employs is to expand opportunities and increase the participation of these students in research and technical experiences leading to graduate and professional training. The flagship program of the LA, the Summer Research Early Identification Program (SR-EIP) provides 8-10 week summer research intemships for students at 19 different research institutions; nearly 1400 SR-EIP students have participated in this program since its inception. This proposal seeks support for the Leadership Alliance National Symposium (LANS) series, an annual symposium for 300 undergraduates, 50-75 graduate students and 50 faculty/administrators each year for five years (2004-2008). The specific aims of LANS are to: 1) provide a quality scientific and technical presentation experience for underrepresented undergraduates; 2) assemble a cohort of emerging Ph.D.s and provide them with tools and skills in scientific communication, management and post Ph.D. decisionmaking; 3) extend and enhance networking, career-building and mentoring opportunities within and among various LANS cohorts; and 4) evaluate results to monitor achievement of program aims, develop useful products and maintain and disseminate best practices. Through this concerted effort, the LANS illuminates the educational pathway leading to the professoriate and enhances students' endeavors by providing critical resources, tools and mentoring network. LANS products will continue to be routinely disseminated to its conferees, other conference organizers, institutions and the general public through the LA website.

描述（由申请人提供）： 领导联盟（LA）是一个由31所大学和学院组成的联盟，其集体使命是鼓励代表性不足的少数群体寻求研究和学术事业。该联盟处理的主要社会问题是，这些人作为教育者、领导者和决策者参与学术界的程度相对较低。LA采用的一种手段是扩大机会，增加这些学生参与研究和技术经验，从而获得研究生和专业培训。洛杉矶的旗舰项目，夏季研究早期识别计划（SR-EIP）为19个不同研究机构的学生提供8-10周的夏季研究实习;自成立以来，已有近1400名SR-EIP学生参加了该计划。 该提案寻求对领导联盟国家研讨会系列的支持，这是一个为期五年（2004-2008年）的年度研讨会，每年有300名本科生、50-75名研究生和50名教职员工/管理人员参加。局域网的具体目标是：1）为代表性不足的本科生提供高质量的科学和技术演示体验; 2）聚集一批新兴的博士，并为他们提供科学交流，管理和博士后的工具和技能。决策; 3）在不同的局域网群体内部和之间扩大和加强网络，职业建设和指导机会;以及4）评估结果，以监测方案目标的实现情况，开发有用的产品，并保持和传播最佳做法。通过这种共同努力，局域网照亮了通往教授的教育途径，并通过提供关键资源，工具和指导网络来增强学生的努力。将继续通过LA网站定期向与会者、其他会议组织者、机构和公众传播局域网产品。
