Houston - Louis Stokes STEM Pathways and Research Alliance

技术描述休斯顿-路易斯·斯托克斯STEM途径和研究联盟在该提案中，德克萨斯南方大学（HBCU），德克萨斯州立大学（HSI），休斯顿大学（HSI），休斯顿大学-市区（MI/HSI）和休斯顿大学-清湖（HSI）将组成路易斯·斯托克斯STEM途径和研究联盟（H-LSAMP）。H-LSAMP计划旨在显著增加获得科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域学士学位的少数族裔学生的数量，使我们的毕业人数与我们所服务的人口保持一致。在这项提案中，H-LSAMP STEM途径和研究联盟建议为个人学生保留和升读学士学位，社区学院转学课程，高质量的本科研究经验以及无缝过渡到STEM研究生课程方面的新努力提供资金。我们的计划旨在提高本科生成功进入和完成研究生院的数量，质量和多样性，以及在STEM学科中令人兴奋和重要的研究领域选择职业。在奖励期结束后，H-LSAMP项目将为所有一级学生提供参与研究的机会。此外，我们预计大约50%的一级学生将继续进入专业或研究生院，少数民族的STEM保留率将提高到75%以上。作为STEM途径和研究联盟，我们将努力消除大学层面STEM领域的两个有充分证据的流失原因：经济需求和学术支持。智力优势：基于Tinto的模式和我们强大的协作学习社区，该联盟将增加个人发展计划，并结合职业探索，为学者提供足够的知识和技能，为实现就业和研究生院的成功提供支持。学生使用辅导、同伴领导的团队学习和指导研究的最佳实践来支持。更广泛的影响：这个LSAMP提案有一些全国最具种族多样性的研究型大学，包括来自所有STEM学科的高中、本科生和研究生、教职员工和管理人员的参与。建立在提高女性在STEM中的代表性的项目基础上，并结合所有种族，这个联盟可以作为一个模式，在HSI、MSI和全国的hbcu中复制。H-LSAMP计划在培养和培养高素质的UREP STEM劳动力和项目方面取得了巨大成功，并在未来五年内继续保持其在全国领先的增长。我们的项目致力于确定可以在全国推广和复制的招聘和留用方法。我们的项目将提供新的PLTL课程材料，夏季桥梁修改，以加速UREP STEM的成功，展示利用国内流离失所者和职业意识，以提高学生的长期成功，并为国家的博士项目提供优质的UREP STEM未来领导者。在该提案中，德克萨斯南方大学（HBCU），德克萨斯州立大学（HSI），休斯顿大学（HSI），休斯顿大学-市区（MI/HSI）和休斯顿大学-清湖（HSI）将组成路易斯斯托克斯STEM途径和研究联盟（H-LSAMP）。H-LSAMP计划旨在显著增加获得科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域学士学位的少数族裔学生的数量，使我们的毕业人数与我们所服务的人口保持一致。在这项提案中，H-LSAMP STEM途径和研究联盟建议为个人学生保留和升读学士学位，社区学院转学课程，高质量的本科研究经验以及无缝过渡到STEM研究生课程方面的新努力提供资金。我们的计划旨在提高本科生成功进入和完成研究生院的数量，质量和多样性，以及在STEM学科中令人兴奋和重要的研究领域选择职业。在奖励期结束后，H-LSAMP项目将为所有一级学生提供参与研究的机会。此外，我们预计大约50%的一级学生将继续进入专业或研究生院，少数民族的STEM保留率将提高到75%以上。作为STEM途径和研究联盟，我们将努力消除大学层面STEM领域的两个有充分证据的流失原因：经济需求和学术支持。智力优势：基于Tinto的模式和我们强大的协作学习社区，该联盟将增加个人发展计划，并结合职业探索，为学者提供足够的知识和技能，为实现就业和研究生院的成功提供支持。学生使用辅导、同伴领导的团队学习和指导研究的最佳实践来支持。更广泛的影响：这个LSAMP提案有一些全国最具种族多样性的研究型大学，其中包括来自所有STEM学科的高中、本科生和研究生、教职员工和管理人员的参与。建立在提高女性在STEM中的代表性的项目基础上，并结合所有种族，这个联盟可以作为一个模式，在HSI、MSI和全国的hbcu中复制。H-LSAMP计划在培养和培养高素质的UREP STEM劳动力和项目方面取得了巨大成功，并在未来五年内继续保持其在全国领先的增长。我们的项目致力于确定可以在全国推广和复制的招聘和留用方法。我们的项目将提供新的PLTL课程材料，夏季桥梁修改，以加速UREP STEM的成功，展示利用国内流离失所者和职业意识，以提高学生的长期成功，并为国家的博士项目提供优质的UREP STEM未来领导者。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Technical DescriptionHouston- Louis Stokes STEM Pathways and Research AllianceIn this proposal, Texas Southern University (HBCU), Texas State University (HSI), the University of Houston (HSI), the University of Houston-Downtown (MI/HSI), and the University of Houston-Clear Lake (HSI) will form the Louis Stokes STEM Pathways and Research Alliance (H-LSAMP). The H-LSAMP program was assembled to significantly increase the number of underrepresented minority students who earn a baccalaureate degree in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, bringing our graduation numbers in line with the population we serve. In this proposal, the H-LSAMP STEM Pathways and Research Alliance proposes to fund new efforts in individual student retention and progression to baccalaureate degrees, transfer programs from community colleges, high-quality undergraduate research experiences, and seamless transitions into STEM graduate programs. Our program aims to increase the number, quality, and diversity of undergraduates successfully entering and completing graduate school as well as selecting careers in the exciting and important research areas across the STEM disciplines. Upon completion of the award period, the H-LSAMP program will have provided the opportunity for all level-one students to participate in research. Further, we project that around 50 percent of the level-one students will move on to professional or graduate school and that minority STEM retention will improve to over 75%. As a STEM Pathways and Research Alliance, we will work toward eliminating the two well-documented causes of attrition in STEM fields at the University level: financial need and academic support.Intellectual Merit: Based on Tinto's model and our robust collaborative learning community, the alliance will add individual development plans coupled with career explorations to provide scholars with sufficient knowledge and skills to provide for fulfilling employment and success in graduate school. Students are supported using best practices of tutoring, peer-led team learning, and mentored research. Broader Impacts: This LSAMP proposal has some of the most ethnically diverse research universities in the country which includes participation from high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, staff, faculty and administrators across all STEM disciplines. Building on programs to improve female representation in STEM, and with a mix of all races, this Alliance serves as a model that can be replicated at HSI, MSI, and HBCUs nationwide. The H-LSAMP program has had tremendous success in developing and graduating a quality UREP STEM workforce and projects to continue its nation leading growth during the next five years. Our program works to identify recruitment and retention methodologies that can be scaled and replicated nationally. Our program will provide new PLTL course material, summer bridge modifications to accelerate UREP STEM success, demonstrate the use of IDPs and career awareness to enhance long-term student success, and populate the countries PhD programs with quality UREP STEM future leaders.Non-Technical DescriptionHouston- Louis Stokes STEM Pathways and Research Alliance In this proposal, Texas Southern University (HBCU), Texas State University (HSI), the University of Houston (HSI), the University of Houston-Downtown (MI/HSI), and the University of Houston-Clear Lake (HSI) will form the Louis Stokes STEM Pathways and Research Alliance (H-LSAMP).
