Peach State LSAMP - Extending the STEM Pipeline in

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划协助大学和学院实现科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）的劳动力，通过他们的努力，显着增加学生人数从历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口，成功地完成高质量的学位课程在STEM。Peach State LSAMP由格鲁吉亚大学（牵头机构）、福特瓦利州立大学、格鲁吉亚理工学院、肯尼索州立大学系统和萨凡纳州立大学组成，旨在： - 增加STEM学科中历史上代表性不足的少数民族学生的入学人数; - 增加这些学生在STEM学科获得的学士学位; - 增加格鲁吉亚周边学院联盟学生向4年制院校的转移; - 增加参加研究/实习的LSAMP学生人数; - 增加攻读STEM研究生学位的LSAMP学生人数; - 与教育研究团队合作，对Peach State LSAMP进行研究。Peach State LSAMP的主要重点是确保学生成功完成STEM学科的本科和研究生学位。 干预措施准备更有意地关注LSAMP学生追求和完成研究生院。因此，拟议的活动将更多地集中在准备更多的桃州LSAMP资助的学生在STEM学科的研究生院。桃州LSAMP计划是全面的，旨在提高学术和研究成果，包括准备充分的少数民族学生在STEM学科装备在研究生院取得成功，从事辅导和研究学生保留模式，以及健全和严格的评估计划。该计划将利用其机构研究基础设施及其与其他学术机构和当地行业的合作伙伴关系，促进少数民族学生在STEM领域的成功过渡。联盟计划评估结果评估桃州LSAMP战略的有效性将与教育界分享，以建立知识基础并促进最佳实践的实施。此外，该项目还包括一项探索性研究，以调查其社区学院转学桥梁计划的保真度。 这项研究有可能确定这种干预是否有效以及为什么有效，并有助于对这种STEM途径的影响进行其他深入的研究。该项目中实施的最佳实践将对该国其他机构的STEM活动具有可转移的价值。它还将创造一种环境，使所取得的成果在项目结束后可持续。 桃州LSAMP不仅将增加成功完成STEM学科学位的学生数量，而且还致力于在格鲁吉亚及其他地区创造更加多样化和具有竞争力的STEM劳动力。

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority populations to successfully complete high quality degree programs in STEM.The Peach State Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (Peach State LSAMP) composed of the University of Georgia (lead institution), Fort Valley State University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Kennesaw State University System, and Savannah State University aims to: - Increase enrollment of historically underrepresented minority students in STEM disciplines; - Increase baccalaureate degrees obtained by this population of students in STEM disciplines; - Increase the transfer of Georgia Perimeter College alliance students to 4-year institutions; - Increase the number of LSAMP students who participate in research/internships; - Increase the number of LSAMP students who pursue graduate degrees in STEM; and, - Partner with Education Research team to conduct research on the Peach State LSAMP.The primary focus of Peach State LSAMP is to ensure student success in completing undergraduate and graduate degrees in STEM disciplines. Interventions are primed for a more intentional focus on LSAMP students pursuing and completing graduate school. Hence, the proposed activities will focus more on preparing more Peach State LSAMP funded students for graduate school in STEM disciplines. The Peach State LSAMP program is comprehensive and designed to enhance academic and research outcomes including well-prepared underrepresented minority students in STEM disciplines equipped for success in graduate school, engaging mentoring and researchstudent retention models, and a sound and rigorous evaluation plan. The program will leverage its institutional research infrastructure and its partnerships with other academic institutions and local industries to facilitate successful transitions of minority students in STEM fields.Alliance program evaluation findings assessing the effectiveness of the Peach State LSAMP strategies will be shared with the education community to build the knowledge base and foster implementation of best practices. In addition, the project includes an exploratory study to investigate the fidelity of its community college transfer bridge program. The study has the potential to determine if and why this intervention is effective and contribute to other in-depth research studies on the impact of this STEM pathway. The best practices implemented in this project will have transferable values for STEM activities in other institutions in the nation. It will also create an environment in which the outcomes achieved will be sustainable after the project comes to an end. Peach State LSAMP will not only increase the number of successful students completing degrees in STEM disciplines, but is also committed to creating a more diverse and competitive STEM workforce in Georgia and beyond.
