Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Phase IV

项目概述：路易斯·斯托克斯密西西比少数民族参与联盟LSMAMP詹姆斯·帕金斯-LSMAMP项目主任杰克逊州立大学项目概述LSMAMP机构将他们的集体资源集中在丰富的STEM学生身上，以激励和指导他们获得学士、硕士学位，并对选择STEM博士学位的人数产生重大影响。这些机构之间的互动将产生协同效应，以增加少数民族博士学位，这将以前所未有的方式改变这些机构之间合作的教学、研究和管理方面。要求支持LSMAMP延续到第四阶段将加速这一进程，并有助于增加少数民族学生进入博士学位管道的数量。第四阶段项目的资金将继续加强该项目在密西西比州制度化的基础。由JSU为联盟协调并由NSF支持的MAMP博士桥梁项目提供资源，支持24名少数民族学生攻读STEM研究生学位（MS），然后在MAMP机构或全国其他博士机构进行博士课程的桥梁。MAMP博士桥梁项目被认为是全国仅有的两个将100%的博士学生送入博士项目的项目之一。为CohortI学生开发的项目将与所有MAMP机构共享，作为一个模型，在每个MAMP校园复制，以利用国家科学基金的资助，增加本科生的总数。学生吗?拥有本科研究经验是通往博士学位之桥项目成功的基础。本科研究将是第四阶段MAMP计划的主要重点。每个MAMP站点将为其学生提供本科研究经验。MAMP网站将安排学生在MAMP机构或合作机构网站的研究实习职位。MAMP学生将在一年一度的MAMP研究研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。学生还将被鼓励在诸如密西西比科学院（MAS）、全国本科研究委员会、NSF JAM会议、ABRCMS会议和其他学科专业会议等州和国家会议和会议上展示他们的研究项目成果。每年参加MAS会议的大量少数民族学生，以及稳步增加的论文数量，使学生受益，并给学院留下了不可磨灭的印象，在国家和地区的科学环境中培养了日益多样化的氛围。第四阶段的MAMP将包括一种新的方法，在学生完成学士学位后对他们进行跟踪。将开发一个结合门户网站技术的强大网站，以支持跨MAMP社区的通信、网络和学生跟踪。智力优势：LSMAMP计划的目标是为代表性不足的少数民族学生建立一个安全的途径，以获得科学，技术，工程和数学的学士，硕士和博士学位。这个拟议的项目将建立在MAMP机构和合作机构之间的现有关系之上，例如加州大学校园、LBL、LLNL、AGEM和MRC，以增加密西西比州内外少数民族学生在STEM硕士和博士研究生课程中的入学率和入学率。更广泛的影响：LSMAMP计划将增加博士人数。授予少数族裔，尤其是非洲裔美国人的STEM领域学位。我们将为美国大学和学院提供高素质和多样化的教职员工，并影响持有博士学位的科学家和工程师在STEM劳动力中的就业数量。

PROJECT SUMMARYPage AThe Louis Stokes Mississippi Alliance for Minority ParticipationLSMAMPJames Perkins-LSMAMP Project DirectorJackson State UniversityPROJECT SUMMARYThe LSMAMP institutions are focusing their collective resources on the rich pool of STEMstudents to motivate and mentor them toward BS, MS degrees and impact significantly on thenumber choosing the pathway to a STEM doctorate. The synergy that will result from theseinstitutional interactions to increase minority Ph.D.s will transform the instructional,research and administrative aspects of cooperation among these institutions in ways neverbefore envisioned. The requested support for continuation of the LSMAMP to Phase IV willaccelerate this process and contribute to increasing the numbers of minority studentsentering the Ph.D. pipeline. The funding of the Phase IV program will continue tostrengthen the foundation for institutionalization of the program in the state ofMississippi.The MAMP Bridge to the Doctorate program, coordinated by JSU for the alliance andsupported by NSF, provides the resources to support 24 minority students to pursuegraduate STEM degrees (MS) and then bridge to doctoral programs at MAMP institutions orother doctoral institutions across the nation. The MAMP Bridge to the Doctorate programwas distinguished as being only one of two in the nation to place 100% of their Cohort IBridge to the Doctorate students into doctoral programs. The program developed for CohortI students will be shared with all MAMP institutions as a model to be replicated on eachMAMP campus to leverage the NSF funding and increase the total number of undergraduateMAMP students targeting doctoral studies. Students? having undergraduate researchexperiences is fundamental to the success of the Bridge to the Doctorate program.Undergraduate research will be a major focus of the Phase IV MAMP program. Each MAMP siteswill provide undergraduate research experiences for their students. MAMP sites will placestudents in research internship positions at MAMP institutions or at partner institutionsites. MAMP students will present their research at the annual MAMP research symposium.Students will also be encouraged to present the results of their research projects atstate and national conferences and meetings such as the Mississippi Academy of Sciences(MAS), the National Council on Undergraduate Research, the NSF JAM Conference, ABRCMS, andother professional conferences in their disciplines. The large number of minority studentsattending the MAS conference each year, and the steadily increasing number presentingpapers, has benefited the students and has made an indelible impression on the Academy,fostering a climate of increasing diversity in the scientific environment of the state andregion.The Phase IV MAMP will include a fresh approach to tracking students after they completetheir BS. A robust website incorporating web-portal technology will be developed tosupport communications, networking and student tracking across the MAMP community.Intellectual Merit: The goal of the LSMAMP program is to establish a secure pathway forunderrepresented minority students to obtain BS, MS and PhD degrees in science,technology, engineering and mathematics. This proposed project will build upon existingrelationships between MAMP institutions, and partnering institutions, e.g. University ofCalifornia campuses, LBL, LLNL, AGEM and MRC to increase the number of minority studentsenrolling and matriculating in MS and Ph.D. STEM graduate programs within and outside ofthe state of Mississippi. Broader Impacts: The LSMAMP program will increase the number ofPh.D. degrees in STEM areas awarded to minorities, especially African-Americans. We willPROJECT SUMMARYPage Aprovide well-qualified and diverse faculty members for U S universities and colleges, aswell as impact the number of scientists and engineers holding the doctorate for employmentin the STEM workforce.
