University System of Maryland Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation, Phase III

马里兰州大学系统路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟，第三阶段拟议的资金将支持一个综合计划的继续，该计划将学生与三个USM机构的研究基地联系起来，这些机构于1995年开始联盟，以扩大和增加倡议的影响，大幅增加数量，在STEM领域获得学士学位的代表性不足的少数民族学生的质量。 Freeman A博士Hrabowski，III，巴尔的摩县马里兰州大学（UMBC）校长，继续担任UMBC首席研究员，马里兰州大学帕克分校（UMCP）和马里兰州大学东海岸（UMES）将实施拟议的USM LSAMP第三阶段，旨在为本科生提供服务特别是那些代表性不足的种族和少数民族群体的成员。 根据从第一和第二阶段的成功经验中吸取的教训，以及从其他地方性住房援助管理计划方案和具有类似目标的其他倡议中吸取的最佳做法，为拟议的地方性住房援助管理计划第三阶段确定了以下可衡量的目标。 每年增加URM学生在STEM领域的入学人数;每年增加URM学生在STEM领域的二年级保留率;每年提高URM学生在STEM课程和专业的学习成绩;增加URM STEM学生每年获得累计GPA 3.0或以上的百分比;增加URM学生在STEM专业的六年毕业率;为了增加URM学生谁继续在STEM领域的研究生课程的数量。 NSF和其他基金将为五个主要的联盟组成部分提供支持：夏季部分：包括一个夏桥计划，通过学术支持和继续学生的夏季研究机会，促进新生向大学的过渡学年部分： 包括本科研究奖学金，研究生院的准备，侵入性学术咨询，辅导辅导，监测和其他学术支持;协作组件：旨在加强和提供一个正式的结构，在USM LSAMP校园内外的计划和举措之间的协作，其目标与LSAMP的目标相似。 课程审查和修订部分：正在进行的审查，并根据需要，修订课程的.filter”STEM课程将促进URM和其他学生的STEM专业的成功和保留。 跟踪和后续部分：计划校友的学术和职业成就将被跟踪，并与他们进行后续接触，以鼓励他们坚持STEM研究生课程和考虑STEM职业，特别是在教授职位上。 在整个本科期间，学生将积极参与与教师和其他导师，在合作机构和校外（包括国家实验室）的研究项目，并将被鼓励在适当的环境中展示他们的研究成果。 此外，在第三阶段，USM联盟将与校园内的既定项目合作，包括NSF资助的研究生教育和教授联盟（AGEP），以及美国教育部资助的McNair学者和向上拓展项目。其中包括提供有针对性的服务管道，以支持从九年级到博士学位的URM学生。

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF MARYLAND LOUIS STOKES ALLIANCE FOR MINORITY PARTICIPATION, PHASE III The proposed funding will support the continuation of a comprehensive program connecting students with the research base at three USM institutions that began an Alliance in 1995 to extend and increase the impact of initiatives to increase substantially the quantity and quality of underrepresented minority (URM) students receiving baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields. With Dr. Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) continuing as Principal Investigator, UMBC, the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP), and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) will implement the proposed USM LSAMP, Phase III which is designed to serve undergraduate students, particularly those who are members of underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups. Building on lessons learned from the successes in Phase I and II and best practices from other LSAMP Programs and other initiatives with similar goals, the following measurable objectives have been established for the proposed LSAMP, Phase III. To increase the enrollment of URM students in STEM fields annualy; To increase the retention to second year rate of URM students in STEM fields annualy; To improve the academic performance of URM students in STEM courses and majors annually; To increase the percentage of URM STEM students earning cumulative GPAs at or above 3.0 annually; To increase the six-year graduation rates of URM students in STEM majors; To increase the number of URM students who go on to graduate programs in STEM fields. NSF and other funds will provide support for the five major Alliance components: The Summer Component: Includes a Summer Bridge Program to facilitate new students' transition to the university through academic support and summer research opportunities for continuing students The Academic Year Component: Includes undergraduate research fellowships, graduate school preparation, intrusive academic advising, mentoring tutoring, monitoring, and other academic support; The Collaboration Component: Is designed to enhance and provide a formal structure for colaborations among and between programs and initiatives on and off the USM LSAMP campuses with goals similar to those of LSAMP. The Curriculum Review and Revision Component: The ongoing review and, as needed, revisions of the curricula for .filter" STEM courses will facilitate the success and retention in STEM majors of URM and other students. The Tracking and Follow-up Component: The academic and career accomplishments of Program alumni will be tracked, and folow-up contacts will be made with them to encourage their persistence in STEM graduate programs and consideration of STEM careers, particularly in the professoriate. Throughout their undergraduate years, students will be actively involved in research projects with faculty and other mentors, at the partnering institutions and off campus (including national laboratories), and will be encouraged to present their research findings in appropriate settings. Also, in Phase III, the USM Alliance will collaborate with established programs operating on the campuses, including the NSF-funded Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP), and the McNair Scholars and Upward Bound programs funded by the U.S. Department of Education, among others that provide a pipeline with targeted services to support URM students from grade nine through the Ph.D.
