科尔·克拉克亚特兰大大学与乔治亚州的姐妹机构联合黑人学院基金（UNCF）机构（莫尔豪斯学院、莫里斯·布朗学院、潘恩学院和斯佩尔曼学院）合作，提议建立一个少数民族参与联盟（AMP）计划。大专合作伙伴是亚特兰大大都会学院，亚特兰大公立学校是大专预科合作伙伴。乔治亚- uncf AMP的本科入学人数超过15,000人，大学预科学生超过55,000人。科学、工程和数学（SEM）的入学人数为2640人。该计划的目标是在1996年的基础上，到2002年将SEM毕业生的数量增加一倍，并提高教学质量，以确保增加的学士学位获得者继续研究生学习。基于每个合作伙伴的优势，该AMP将(1)加大对格鲁吉亚潜在的SEM专业的招聘力度；(2)为125名学生建立或加强大一前暑期桥梁项目；（三）提供奖学金、助学金等资助；(4)为学生提供研究经验；(5)改进SEM课程，特别强调入门级课程；(6)改进入门级SEM课程的教学；(7)开展师徒辅导和同伴辅导研讨会，与10个研究生项目建立合作关系。Clark Atlanta大学校长Thomas W. Cole博士是首席研究员，Melvin R. Webb博士是项目主任，Denise Stephenson- Hawk博士是项目联合主任。Thomas W. Cole, Jr.博士将担任AMP管理委员会主席。国家咨询委员会将由海军研究实验室的David C. Turner博士担任主席。每个AMP机构都将有一个校园协调员和一个跨学科的教师团队来参与这个项目。儿童基金会将提供工作人员资源以及筹款和宣传援助。

HRD-9701829 Cole Clark Atlanta University, in cooperation with its sister United Negro College Fund (UNCF) institutions in Georgia (Morehouse, Morris Brown, Paine and Spelman Colleges), proposes to establish an Alliance for Minority Participation (AMP) program. The junior college partner is Atlanta Metropolitan College and the Atlanta Public Schools is the junior precollege partner. The combined undergraduate enrollment of the Georgia-UNCF AMP exceeds 15,000 with more than 55,000 precollege students. The enrollment in the sciences, engineering and mathematics (SEM) is 2,640. The goal of the program is to double the number of SEM graduates by the year 2002 based on the 1996 rate and to improve the quality of instruction to insure that increased numbers of baccalaureate recipients go on to graduate study. Building on the strengths of each partner, this AMP will (1) increase the recruitment efforts of potential SEM majors from Georgia; (2) establish or enhance prefreshmen summer bridge programs for 125 students; (3) provide financial support through scholarships and research assistantships; (4) provide students with research experiences; (5) improve the SEM curricula with a special emphasis on entry level courses; (6) improve the instruction in entry level SEM courses; and (7) conduct workshops on mentoring and peer tutoring, and establish relationships with 10 graduate programs. Dr. Thomas W. Cole, Jr. President of Clark Atlanta University is Principal Investigator, Dr. Melvin R. Webb is Project Director and Dr. Denise Stephenson- Hawk is Project Co-Director. Dr. Thomas W. Cole, Jr. will Chair the AMP's Governing Board. The National Advisory Committee will be chaired by Dr. David C. Turner of the Naval Research Laboratory. Each AMP institution will have a campus coordinator and an interdisciplinary faculty team to work with the program. UNCF will provide staff resources as well as fund-raising and publicity assistance.
