North Carolina Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation

NCLSAMP项目建议利用“有希望的做法”和新的计划倡议来实现以下目标：1)增加STEM学士学位的合格代表不足的毕业生的人才库；2)促进STEM学术计划的保留率和学士学位的获得；3)增加进入STEM研究生计划的学生人数。第五阶段(高级)NCLSAMP项目结束时的预期结果是：1.总体平均75%(75%)的NCLSAMP参与者将被保留在联盟内的STEM学士学位计划中。2.拥有STEM学士学位的有能力的人数不足的毕业生人数将增加10%。3.进入STEM研究生课程的NCLSAMP参与者人数将增加10%。该联盟在实施以群体为基础的学习、协作教学方法和分组排课方面取得成功的基础上，将帮助其成员将更多代表性不足的学生纳入STEM学习社区的做法制度化并保持高影响力。将在第一阶段经验的基础上继续和扩大的最佳做法包括促进学习小组、研究技能发展研讨会和本科生的指导性研究经验。

The NCLSAMP project proposes to utilize "promising practices" as well as new program initiatives to achieve the following goals: 1) Increase the pool of competent underrepresented graduates with STEM bachelor's degrees; 2) Promote retention and baccalaureate degree attainment in STEM academic programs, and; 3) Increase the number of students who matriculate into STEM graduate programs.Phase V (Senior-level) NCLSAMP expected outcomes at the end of the project are:1. An overall average of seventy-five percent (75%) of NCLSAMP participants will be retained in STEM baccalaureate programs within the Alliance. 2. The pool of competent underrepresented graduates with STEM bachelor's degrees will have increased by 10%. 3. The number of NCLSAMP participants who matriculate into STEM graduate programs will have increased by 10%. Building upon its successes in the implementation of cohort-based learning, collaborative instructional approaches and block-scheduling, the Alliance will help its members institutionalize and maintain high impact practices engaging a larger population of underrepresented students into STEM-learning communities. Best practices that will continue and expand based on Phase I experience include Facilitated Study Groups, Research Skills Development Workshops, and Mentored Research Experiences for Undergraduates.
