Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation - Phase III

德雷克塞尔大学，作为大费城地区的代表路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（费城AMP），寻求继续资助作为AMP第三阶段项目，以加强其正在进行的努力，以大幅提高非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔和美洲原住民学生的数量和质量，获得科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学士学位，随后，进入研究生院获得博士学位。 Philadelphia AMP代表了公共和私人，2年和4年，研究和非研究，历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）和多数机构的多元化联盟。 该提案的一个突出特点是，拟议的AMP第三阶段项目的基本方式是建立在伙伴关系，资源，有效做法和经验的坚实基础上，这些经验来自八年的协作，合作和共同努力，重点是在目前的费城AMP第二阶段项目下少数民族学生的成绩。 在费城AMP存在的过去八年中，该联盟通过使用学院/大学、基金会、州政府和企业资金，为该项目提供了超过790万美元的配套资金。 由于费城AMP的努力，已经开发了一种机制，以促进机构，部门和组织文化的变化，以及将导致招聘，保留，STEM学位生产和所有学生进入研究生院的显着增加的做法。为了支持这个AMP第三阶段项目，来自9个成员机构的170名终身STEM教师，学术部门负责人和高级行政人员将积极参与招聘，建议和指导AMP学生。在这项提案中，“少数族裔”是指非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和土著美国人。

Drexel University, as a representative of the Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (Philadelphia AMP), seeks continued funding as an AMP Phase III project, to intensify its on-going efforts to substantially increase the quantity and quality of African American, Hispanic and Native American students receiving baccalaureate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and subsequently, entering graduate school to attain doctoral degrees. Philadelphia AMP represents a diverse alliance of public and private, 2- and 4-year, research and non-research, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and majority institutions. A salient feature of this proposal is the fundamental manner in which the proposed AMP Phase III project rests on a solid foundation of partnerships, resources, effective practices and experience derived from eight years of collaboration, cooperation and concerted efforts focused on minority student achievement under the current Philadelphia AMP Phase II project. Over the past eight years of Philadelphia AMP.s existence, the Alliance has contributed over $7.9 million in matching funds to the project through the use of college/university, foundation, state government, and corporate funds. As a result of Philadelphia AMP.s efforts, a mechanism has been developed to catalyze changes in institutional, departmental, and organizational culture and the practices that will result in significant increases in recruitment, retention, STEM degree production, and graduate school entry for all students. In support of this AMP Phase III project, 170 tenured STEM faculty, academic department heads, and senior administrative personnel from the 9 member institutions will actively participate in recruiting, advising and mentoring AMP students. In this proposal "minority" refers to African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans.
