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.

马里兰大学系统路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟，第三阶段 拟议的资金将支持一项综合计划的继续，该计划将学生与三所 USM 机构的研究基地联系起来，这三所机构于 1995 年开始建立联盟，以扩大和增强倡议的影响，以提高少数族裔参与度显着提高了获得 STEM 领域学士学位的少数族裔 (URM) 学生的数量和质量。 马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校 (UMBC) 校长 Freeman A. Hrabowski, III 博士继续担任首席研究员，UMBC、马里兰大学帕克分校 (UMCP) 和马里兰大学东海岸分校 (UMES)将实施拟议的 USM LSAMP 第三阶段，该计划旨在为本科生，特别是那些代表性不足的种族和少数民族群体的学生提供服务。 基于第一阶段和第二阶段的成功经验教训以及其他 LSAMP 计划和具有类似目标的其他举措的最佳实践，已为拟议的 LSAMP 第三阶段制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；每年提高 URM 学生在 STEM 领域的二年级保留率；每年提高URM学生在STEM课程和专业的学术表现；提高每年累积 GPA 达到或超过 3.0 的 URM STEM 学生的比例；提高URM STEM专业学生的六年毕业率；增加继续攻读 STEM 领域研究生课程的 URM 学生数量。 NSF 和其他基金将为联盟的五个主要组成部分提供支持： 夏季组成部分：包括暑期桥梁计划，通过为继续学习的学生提供学术支持和暑期研究机会，促进新生过渡到大学 学年组成部分：包括本科生研究奖学金、研究生院准备、侵入式学术建议、辅导、监督和其他学术支持； 协作部分：旨在增强并提供 USM LSAMP 校园内外的项目和倡议之间的正式合作结构，其目标与 LSAMP 类似。 课程审查和修订部分：持续审查并根据需要修订“.filter”STEM 课程课程将促进 URM 和其他学生在 STEM 专业的成功和保留。跟踪和后续部分：学术我们将跟踪项目校友的职业成就，并与他们进行后续联系，以鼓励他们坚持 STEM 研究生项目并考虑 STEM 职业，特别是在整个教授生涯中。本科阶段，学生将积极参与合作机构和校外（包括国家实验室）的教师和其他导师的研究项目，并将鼓励在适当的环境中展示他们的研究成果。 USM 联盟将与在校园内运营的既定项目合作，包括 NSF 资助的研究生教育和教授联盟 (AGEP)、美国教育部资助的麦克奈尔学者和向上发展项目等，这些项目提供了提供有针对性的服务，为 URM 九年级至博士生提供支持。
